• Amy played for our daughter's wedding and did a wonderful job. We were very impressed by how she "transformed" a song not written for the harp into a beautiful piece that our guests are still commenting on. I would highly recommend Amy! -- Lynn M, Raleigh, NC, 5/16/2009
• Amy played at a private party in our home and did a wonderful job. She was very professional and very talented. Her harp music was beautiful, and we received so many compliments on her music. Amy provided just the kind of music we were looking for, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Nicole P., Chapel Hill, NC -- Nicole P, Durham, NC, 1/18/2009
• Amy was wonderful. While I did not get to hear much of the music, all of my guests said she played beautifully. Amy was also very accomodating. She learned a song that was not intended for harp because I wanted it played while I walked down the aisle and it sounded perfect! Thank you Amy! -- Cathleen F, Raleigh, NC, 6/7/2009
• We hired Amy Kortus to play during a Christening party for our daughter. She was professional, and we were most satisfied by her demonstrated talent. She arrived at the event early and played select music pieces we had requested. Our guests were equally impressed, and we would highly recommend Amy Kortus to anyone who wants to add beautiful live music and artistry to a special event. -- Ricky T, Raleigh, NC, 12/11/2011
