Feedback dated October 24, 2010: "One of the things I wanted most in my wedding was a harpist. Finding Carol was a DREAM COME TRUE. She was VERY ACCOMMODATING and also willing to learn a new piece of music if I had something special I wished to hear. She ARRIVED EARLY and was even willing to play for the wedding march (I had music for the march) but the fact that SHE WAS WILLING TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE made her stand out. Her PLAYING WAS GORGEOUS. She was A DEFINITE STANDOUT in my day." ~ Mikki M., Los Angeles, CA *****(received 5 stars)

WEDDING INFORMATION:
Carol's RATES ARE REASONABLE and SHE WILL TRAVEL from Santa Barbara to Palm Springs to San Diego as well as out of state.

Carol plays a CUSTOM MADE HARP and her harp tone is characterized as WARM, RICH, AND FULL SOUNDING unlike the thin, brittle tone of most harps. CAROL'S BEAUTIFUL HARP LOOKS LIKE AN ANTIQUE with tasteful gold leaves and vines painted on the soundboard.

Most brides do not realize that AN UMAMPLIFIED HARP IS HARD TO HEAR! Most harpists only play acoustically or run an amp without proper knowledge of EQ resulting in a thin, brittle sound. CAROL PLAYS THROUGH AN AMP OR A PROFESSIONAL P.A. SYSTEM and has many years of knowledge and experience running sound, thus creating a warm, beautiful, clear harp tone.

Carol enjoys performing for weddings because it is one of the most important days of a person's life and CAROL IS HONORED TO BE A PART OF IT.

Thank You for considering Harpist Carol Tatum for your wedding or event!
