Review by Carlos M.

Engagement PartyReviewed on March 8, 2017From San Jose, CA

My fiancé & I have reminisced and replayed that beautiful day (with the perfect soundtrack to match, thanks to Erica) in our minds numerous times. She not only is an amazing harpist with such an eclectic range of songs, but she can also sing like an angel! To top it all off, Erica have a great personality. Our family could not stop raving about her! There were times during the evening that we felt as though she were part of our own family. Erica truly is a first-class musician & a top-notch individual. Hire her!!! You'll thank yourself for doing so. Feel free to email me your specific questions about Erica's performance at my engagement @ cmmachado@gmail.com.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 16, 2016From San Mateo, CA

We were extremely happy with Erica and her services at our son's wedding. I heard the the music playing and was almost moved to tears. It was such a wonderful decision on having a harpst there. Erica, of course, played beautifully on her manificent looking harp! I will not hessitate to recommend her to anyone looking to add something special to their event. I almost forgot to mention her flexibility to requests and working together with the family to execute the vision!!

WeddingReviewed on August 5, 2016From Rutherford, CA

Erica was absolutely fantastic. She was so easy to work with and was the perfect addition to our small wedding. She's the consummate professional and was extremely responsive to all requests and changes. She worked independently with our wedding planner regarding her setup requirements, we were coming from out of town, and played flawlessly. I would recommend her for any type of venue.
