Feedback
- The performers from Sweet Harmony were absolutely wonderful! Not only did they sound fantastic, but they were also very accomodating on time, extremely professional, very self sufficient (and as anyone who has ever planned a wedding knows there is nothing better than an organization that doesn't need help/direction to set up or perform), and on top of all of this they even learned three new songs for us on about a weeks notice! I would HIGHLY recommend them for any event! -- Bill Q, Bensalem, PA, 9/20/2009
- Sweet Harmony was phenomenal - from first booking them all the way through the actual event. They were very professional and are extremely talented. Thank you Sweet Harmony for being a special part of my wedding day! -- Lauren I, Berkeley Heights, NJ, 10/2/2009
- Tara was beyond accomadating!! She made sure everything was covered and that we had everything that we wanted!! All of the guests loved all of the music selections that were performed. I would defiantely hire Tara again and recommend her!! -- Gabrielle T, New Brunswick, NJ, 11/14/2009
- Heather Teffenhart is truly a top performer and gifted classical violinist. If you want to have your event go well, hire this woman! -- Michele H, Washington, NJ, 9/20/2008
- Sweet Harmony added the perfect touch to our wedding!!! I am so thrilled with their performance and professionalism. Tara was extremely helpful and accommodating from the get-go. The songs she chose reflected us! All of my guests were delighted and impressed! Bravo!!! -- Sylvia G, Little Ferry, NJ, 11/8/2008
- Everything was perfect!! -- Corey M, Monroe Twp, NJ, 6/20/2009
- Sweet Harmony did a beautiful job at my wedding. They were on time for my wedding and they played all the music I asked them to play. They were very easy to work with. They replied to my e-mails quickly and were very helpful with recommended what music would be best for my wedding. They did an amazing job. Everything they played sounded beautiful. I have not one negative thing to say. Thanks so much for helping make my wedding perfect. -- Lynsey L, Sicklerville, NJ, 5/30/2009
- I hired Tara Buzash for our Law Firm Holiday/Anniversary party and she was the perfect person for the job. She was very flexible and was able to play just the right type of music for her audience. We would definitely use her again. -- Katherine M, Newark, NJ, 12/3/2009
- Thank you Tara for your beautiful piano playing! I hired Tara because I was looking for someone experienced and professional to play at my wedding ceremony. We weren't planning on doing a rehearsal so I needed a musician who would be able to improvise on the spot. My ceremony went off without a hitch. I highly recommend Tara and Sweet Harmony! -- Elaine T, New York, NY, 11/15/2009
- Sweet Harmony helped make my wedding ceremony just beautiful -- Kiersta G, Woolwich Township, NJ, 9/20/2008
- Heather was great! She even played a song with my guitar player that she had never heard before at the last minute. Very talented! Everything was perfect and I would definitely recommend her to anyone that would like a violinist at their wedding ceremony. -- Jessica F, Mount Laurel, NJ, 10/10/2009
- Hired Sweet Harmony for a senior level corporate event at a private club and they were great . They were very prfessional and their music flowed with the evening and set the perfect background for a fantastic evening with friends and customers. Would definetly recommend and use again for corporate and personal functions..
COSCO Container Line, Americas.. -- Ralph C, Newark, NJ, 12/2/2010
- If you book Sweet Harmony for your event, you won't be disappointed. You'll be ecstatic that you made the perfect choice! They were incredible, more than accommodating. They arrived on time and were very professional. For music requests, they have to be the best! I requested over 40 songs, they knew at least 80% of them! They even learned two songs they didn't already know for no extra fee. They played the songs as if they had known them their whole lives, they even learned to play one song by ear! That kind of customization for my music allowed me to create the feeling I dreamed of when planning my wedding. I'm grateful to have chosen Sweet Harmony for my wedding! -- Nicholas B, Stanhope, NJ, 10/1/2010
- I couldnt ask for anything more! it was beautiful! I cant thank her enough, I need to find a way to send her a thank you card! 5 stars all the way -- William B, Manhattan, NY, 10/7/2011
- Wonderful job. Could not be more impressed! -- Heidi R, Long Valley, NJ, 7/22/2011
- I was beyond thrilled with the job that Heather did at my wedding. When it was time for the ceremony I peeked my head out of the bridal room and heard her playing and I started to tear up immediately! It was everything I had envisioned in my mind and more. My only regret is not having more time to talk with her when it was over and let her know how extra wonderful she made our day! -- Terri L, Garwood, NJ, 1/14/2011
