Description

Sweet Harmony offers beautiful classical and jazz music for your special event. Our performance has real feeling and a highly professional sound, and we will provide you with quality personal attention. We have over 30 years of experience playing for special events and restaurants. We also draw on our several years of managing a professional string quartet to make sure it all goes smoothly.

We offer various instruments including piano or keyboard, violin, viola, flute, saxophone, trumpet, guitar, and bass. We have a very wide range of repertoire: we are trained in traditional classical music as well as jazz improvisation. We will be happy to play your special songs! You can feel safe trusting the music of your wedding or special event to us, knowing that your specific needs and vision will be understood and realized.

We are also available for Irish or Italian cultural gatherings, with a repertoire of fast jigs, beautiful ballads, and fun sing-along songs. Whether your event is formal, serious, light-hearted, loose, foot-stomping, or somewhere in between, Sweet Harmony has the great sound and service you need to make it a success!

Feedback

  • Sweet Harmony was a wonderful addition to our event and we would highly recommend them. We do plan on using them again. They were professional, delightful and their music was fantastic! We received compliments all day long from our customers and they helped make for a very successful day. -- Allison K, Morristown, NJ, 2/28/2009
  • 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
  • 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
