Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on March 9, 2016•From Raleigh, NC
Marilyn was truly outstanding. She was very friendly and professional in her emails prior to my wedding ceremony and the actual music the day of was beautiful. It was everything I had hoped for and more. I received multiple comments on how wonderful the music was. We had a few guests arrive late and she continued to play to fill in the time gap (which I very much appreciated). Marilyn is an extremely talented harpist and was one of the highlights of my wedding day. I highly recommend her.

Celebration•Reviewed on October 19, 2015•From Fayetteville, NC
We were really excited to have a harpist to perform at our event. Marilyn had issues with her harp, said that the batteries needed to be replaced in her amplifier, asked if we could get an amplifier for her to use and that she would bring her backup the next time that she played. When the honorees entered, Marilyn stopped playing and asked what we wanted her to do. during the banquet, after she played the requested song, Marilyn gathered her instrument and left while scripture was being read- Wish that she would have given reverence to the reading of Scripture. She plays well, but didn't exude a great deal of professionalism

Marilyn played at our wedding and was great! The venue was out of town and we had no hang ups when dealing with her. She was very professional and her experience was proven on the wedding day. Highly recommended!

Marilyn is an extremely talented musician who adapts her playlist to your preferences. She is kind, professional, and easy to work with. At my parent's 50th wedding celebration, her harp music was the highlight of the event! She also has a wonderful website that gives you the opportunity to play selections & choose your playlist in advance. I would recommend her to anyone and hope that I have the opportunity to work with her again. --Anna King

Marilyn made our May wedding at Duke Gardens a true fairy tale. Her music is so delicate and mellifluous, her personality so serene, and her professionalism very re-assuring to the nervous bride and groom! From the planning process to the actual day, she is such a pleasure to work with. We feel so fortunate to have had her beautiful music as the background for getting married! We will always remember the beauty and calmness of the ceremony, thanks to her talent. Thank you, Marilyn, for being the perfect wedding musician anybody could dream of!

Marilyn was not only talented and professional, but very compassionate. From our first contact, I felt like I had known Marilyn for a long time. She invited me to listen to some of the music before any guests arrived to help me relax. It was an awesome and calming experience listening to her music. Marilyn stayed in constant contact with us. My husband is in the advanced stage of Alzhemiers. . It was amazing to watch him walk my daughter down the aisle to What a Wonderful World. Our wedding guests were equally impressed with the music and the beauty of the harp. My experience with Marilyn was GREAT!

Marilyn was a joy to work with. She was very responsive to our initial request for bids and with all correspondence after that. Her repertoire of music was exactly what we were looking for, and she played beautifully. Her website was very helpful because we could listen to music samples. What touched us most was that Marilyn called the week of the wedding just to send her best wishes and let us know that she had been practicing our music. She made a special point to come up to us after the ceremony and introduce herself, and she sent a follow up email. We would work with her again in a heartbeat!

Marilyn was very easy to work with. She provided a sample CD of her harp music so that we could take our time and select exactly what we wanted. She arrived early, was very professional and very accomodating. Her music was beautiful and just the right touch for our daughters wedding. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a special touch for a wedding ceremony!

Superb! The entire experience with Marilyn Wienand was over the top. Marilyn excelled in every area, I cannot imagine working with a finer musician and communicator. It was so rewarding to be entertained by such a talented and gifted, kind, accommodating and complimentary professional. My impressions were high when I met Marilyn for the first time the evening of the event and they remained high at the conclusion of the evening. Truly a marvelous person to work with. I would highly recommend her. The fact that several attendees wanted her contact information confirms my opinion of her and the impression she made on my guests. Thank you Marilyn.

She "tied" my daughter's wedding together with the music she played. The harp was the perfect instrument for an outside wedding. She was very organized, punctual, and the music was perfect! Everything went smooth in the planning. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone!!!!!

Marilyn was a joy to work with. Her rates are reasonable and she is very professional to deal with. She arrived early and had her equipment set up and ready to go early. She actually started playing a few minutes early. Her music is heavenly, and was the perfect volume. You could always hear it, even when the room was full, but it never intruded on conversation. The music was classy and seasonal. I cannot say one negative thing about my experience. I give Marilyn my highest recommendation. Many thanks for making our event so special!
