Sylvia was amazing to say the least!!! Such talent, and poise, she was captivating! Friends and family are still talking about her performance a month later.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on March 3, 2019From Staten Island, NY

We hired Sylvia to play at my mother’s surprise 70th Birthday party. She was professional and accommodating to our special requests both in songs and attire as it was a garden-themed party. She arrived early, even on a snowy day and set up immediately. When my mother arrived for the surprise, Sylvia played our requested song, much to the delight of my mother and all of the guests. Throughout the party, her music was the perfect backdrop to our special event. Because everyone was enjoying her music so much, we asked if she would extend her time and she kindly agreed. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a true artist.

EventReviewed on December 10, 2018From New York City, NY

Sylvia added so much to our event! She was incredibly kind and professional. Unfortunately, our group was running behind schedule and the majority arrived to the venue 30 minutes late. She was only booked for an hour reception. She offered to stay longer to accommodate our party. We didn't ask this of her, but the offer was incredibly kind. She played so beautifully that it made it possible for those left waiting on the late participants to relax and enjoy themselves - they were quite frustrated by the lateness but her beautiful music calmed everyone's nerves instantly. I would not hesitate to book her services again!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 22, 2018From Brooklyn, NY

We were so lucky to have Sylvia at our wedding. She's the most lovely person, she was very professional, talented and made everything a breeze. She showed up early to set up and played beautiful classical music for our arrivals to the wedding. She also coordinated with my sister who's a professional soprano to accompany her for two songs during the ceremony which worked out perfectly. I highly recommend her, a pleasure to work with and to listen to!

I had my wedding ceremony this September. Sylvia is very professional in the 3 hours performance and also dressed really elegant to let all my guests see her work. She perfected the ceremony songs and had everyone wowing during each song. Perfect, clear, and great entertainment.

WeddingReviewed on October 1, 2018From Mineola, NY

Sylvia is a very talented harpist who played beautifully at my wedding. She was able to execute flawlessly during my ceremony and cocktail hour. She was also great at accommodating special requests that I had for the wedding (more pop songs than classical) and took feedback well when I asked her to change the slight style of our processional song (Can you feel the love tonight).

:

Hello Diana , I think what would have improved our communication is also how you send email to me , I am really sorry maybe you feel offended when I ask you what is the date of your wedding , sorry again but please understand that in business world everything has to be clear ...so if you would send email to me with your 1- date of wedding and place 2- your name - that would be much better and faster. Most important is date and venue that is how I keep my file and this way I can find Names of clients ( you send me email just with your first name and I have this season 3 Brides Diana - it is beautiful name ! ) Anyways ...I wish you nice Fall and lot of happiness

Grand OpeningReviewed on August 27, 2018From New York City, NY

Sylvia is a delight. Our grand opening would not have been the same without her stunning performance. We placed her near our floor-to-ceiling window area, and her stunning posture, instrument, and the overall vibe attracted lots of traffic and talks. Sylvia is also very professional and punctual. Throughout the entire 3 hour event, she only took one or two short breaks. Definitely an elegant choice for any suitable event.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 10, 2018From New York City, NY

Sylvia was an excellent harpist for our wedding! We had her for our outdoor ceremony and everything went just perfect. She was very professional and was pretty fast in replying to all my questions. As a bride, you will all be very anxious and concerned about the vendors. Working with Sylvia, however, was stressfree! She was able to coordinate everything perfectly by herself so that I didn't need to worry about anything. On the day, she came to the site early, played for the guests before and even after the ceremony so the guests can take photos of her and enjoy the music. I highly recommend Sylvia to you all!

Sylvia is a brilliant, elegant, and kind musician. Her music was gorgeous, as she weaved her music into the service effortlessly. If we could rate her with a 10, we would have done so. To that end, we want to thank you Sylvia!

Sylvia exceeded my expectations. She was so wonderful to work with and her music and presentation was absolutately beautiful. I received so many comments on how beautiful her music was and that it added such a loving touch to the wedding. Thank you Sylvia for making my daughters dreams come true!

WeddingReviewed on June 26, 2018From Greenwich, CT

We had Sylvia play for our wedding. We asked for a string trio and she contacted a violin and cello for us. They played for the ceremony and cocktail hour. She worked well with our wedding planner and the country club. She has a huge, gorgeous harp and played it beautifully. Everyone was professional and elegantly dressed. We gave her a playlist and she played our songs perfectly. The trio sounded great together and set the perfect ambiance. Would definitely recommend her and her team for any future events!!!

Corporate FunctionReviewed on June 8, 2018From Neptune, NJ

Sylvia was absolutely amazing. Sylvia performed during a professional health care event with multiple dignitaries in attendance. Her music was angelic. I have received multiple calls this morning requesting her information to perform at local events.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on May 29, 2018From Irvington, NY

One of the first thing I knew I wanted when we got engaged was a harp - I've always loved the dreamy sound. Being this was a component of the wedding I had high expectations for, I was naturally just full of nerves. Sylvia calmed them immediately. Her playing was SO BEAUTIFUL, she had every song I wanted in her repertoire (even some of the complicated French pieces) and she even showed up wearing the perfect color dress for my palette. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone that wants a talented and sophisticated harpist.

My wife and I couldn’t have been happier with Sylvia’s performance. For a fairly simple wedding she made a huge difference. She was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend Sylvia for any event.
