Reverend Bill was equal parts professional and friendly: he was a key part in making my wedding day beautiful and low-stress! He was easy and accessible in communication, especially when I had many, many questions. Not only was he kind and helpful, he plays harp beautifully. Thank you so much for all your effort in making my wedding special!

Faith, thank you so much for your kind words. Your comments mean a great deal to me not only as those of a beautiful bride but also as a fellow musician. Your solo was great and such a personal expression of your love for Rob. It was a pleasure to play the harp for your beach wedding. After a rainy day, it was so nice to see the Lord smile on you with sunshine. I wish you and Rob "every good and perfect gift from above". Bill

Bill was AMAZING! He worked with Kyle and I for over a year and provided us a supportive and educational environment through premarital counseling that was centered around the love of God. He also learned all of the songs we asked him to including Perfect, Enchanted, and more. Our ceremony was magical because of his harp playing and it was personal because of the time we took to get to know us as a couple. I would absolutely recommend him and his services.

Kaelyn, thank you for your kind words! It was truly my pleasure to get to know you and Kyle and to play the harp and officiate for your wedding. You have a wonderful group of family and friends and we all rejoice with you. Congratulations also as we heard about your exciting new position in Winston Salem. God bless you both.

Rev William Reister
Did an incredible job at my daughters wedding there were a couple of songs that she had requested that he did not know and he took the time to earn them prior to the wedding.
I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Rev. William Reister was one of the best additions to our funeral service.
From the very beginning, he was very communicative & made a lasting impression with his beautifully played harp at our event.
I recommend him 100% to anyone looking to have a great addition to their event

Bill is an incredibly talented harpist, but beyond that, what distinguishes him is how patient and careful he is. He has a large selection of modern songs that I like and even sounded better on our wedding day! I appreciated the careful planning that went into ensuring he got to town a few days before to avoid any potential highway mishaps. You can trust Bill to play the harp beautifully and to think through the logistics behind your day. I also appreciated how patient he was with us as we changed our contract quite a few times haha. He added the perfect touch to our ceremony, and I'd highly recommend him for any special event of yours!

Patrina, thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure to play the harp for you and Major and your guests. I love Epworth by the Sea and the Lovely Lane Chapel with its history and charm was the perfect place for your ceremony. Thank you again and God bless you!

Event•Reviewed on May 11, 2022•From Jacksonville, FL
This is the second time we have used Rev. William Reister and let me say he never disappoints us. We have used him at my Mother's 80th Birthday Dinner and also at the school I work at for a Dinner Theatre. We have had so many positive comments on his music. He arrives early to make sure he is ready before the event starts. We also have a friend that hired him to play at their Daughter's Wedding and they were just as pleased as we have been. We would highly recommend Mr. Reister to play at any event that you may have.

Thank you very much for the kind words. It was a pleasure to play the harp for your Christmas party. It was fun to be set up outside the entrance to your home to welcome your guest with the lovely sounds of the harp. I also enjoyed seeing many of your neighbors waling by and stopping to listen to the music or take a photo. Merry Christmas!

Teresa, thank you for the opportunity to play my harp for your wedding and for your kind words. It was my pleasure to be the harpist for your lovely ceremony. I am so happy that you were able to also enjoy the pre-service music. Often the bride misses out in that regard. God bless you both.

Reverend Reister played prelude music for 30 minutes as well as a song during the unity ceremony and the recessional. He arrived in plenty of time before the ceremony to set up and practice/tune his harp. Music was a delight and just what my daughter wanted for her wedding. He was kind, professional, and well prepared from the first email contact through till the end of the ceremony. We whole heartedly recommend him!

Wedding•Reviewed on December 9, 2020•From Orlando, FL
From beginning to end, William was very responsive & helpful. This was my first time planning a wedding & I had no idea what to expect. He answered questions that were outside of his scope of practice & always maintained a friendly demeanor. It was such a blessing having him & his wife play for our wedding. There was a slight miscommunication regarding our last dance song but my husband & I were too thankful to care much & when it came down to it, they put something together in a last-minute bind that worked perfectly! We are grateful for their improvisation. Overall, there is nothing I would change about our musicians. William is the perfect choice for your event :)

Back on 9/12/20, we had the pleasure of working with Bill Reister for a ceremony at Henderson Beach State Park in Destin, FL. He was very courteous and professional - always prompt with communications and fulfilled our couple's requests. Not to mention played their songs beautifully! It takes something extra to perform weddings and Bill's got it - 100%!! We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to enrich their Special Day! We will be hiring him again for future ceremonies! Thank you, Bill!

Rev Reister and his wife did an amazing job at my daughter’s wedding. The harp was the perfect touch to a special service! The music and songs selected were exactly what we wanted. He has an amazing voice, and his wife aided him on piano. We could not have been happier! Great job!
