Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 21, 2017•From Long Beach, NY

We had a VERY small intimate wedding but hiring Sylvia was my best decision! The music she played along with the violinist was absolutely breathtaking. The sounds of the harp transformed our ceremony into a fairytale. Before, even walking down the isle I could hear the music and it was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes! It was even better than I expected and I tend to be a very hard been to impress. All my guest complimented her skills later that evening. I believe that this is one thing you should actually spend your money on. This is a true art and magnificent to listen to. I would refer her to anyone, it is more than evident that she has years of skills!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 20, 2017•From New York City, NY

Sylvia is a true artist and a dedicated professional. She very graciously accommodated our requests to play our favorite classical pieces. Our guests at our wedding reception were very impressed with her music and Sylvia added more panache to an already very elegant celebration! Also, the intimate setting was small enough that the sound of her harp could fill without the need for amplification, which we preferred. Thank you so very much, Sylvia, for making our wedding reception a huge success and for making it heavenly with your angelic harp music!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 25, 2017•From Rye, NY

I hired Sylvia for our wedding ceremony at Whitby Castle. She dressed nice and the harp was beautiful. I requested a special song called love paradise to play. It's probably new to her but she played it very well. Her amplifier worked well for outdoor ceremony. Unfortunately, she's not appeared in my pictures or videos. Because she stayed too far away from our wedding party. My cousin asked her to move to the bridal party side before the ceremony, but she insisted. I guess she needed to see her sheet under the shadow. Overall, I would recommend Sylvia for your wedding.

Sylvia played at my wedding after I decided to book a harpist very last minute (so unlike me). However, instead of this causing me any stress, Sylvia was extremely easy and professional to work with!! She was very responsive, was dressed appropriately, and checked in with me multiple times leading up to the wedding to ensure all my questions were answered. Thank you for a memorable wedding ceremony!!!

So happy we booked Sylvia for our wedding! She was a pleasure to work with, I sent her an email with the songs we wanted her to play during the ceremony and then we got on a quick phone call to go over everything ...the day of the wedding everything was executed as we discussed and she did a beautiful job switching from one song to the other. Our guests had only positive words for her as well during the cocktail hour. And as a side note, she came dressed in a beautiful formal gown which added to the whole ambiance. Definitely recommend booking her, you won't be disappointed!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 7, 2017•From Bronx, NY

I needed a harp for a wedding cocktail hour and cellist for the ceremony. Both musicians showed up extra early at the venue and practiced with my son who would be playing the keyboard for the ceremony. Although Sylvia was to only play at the cocktail hour, she was amazing making sure the cellist and my son had their ceremonial songs in "synch" and that all went smoothly during the ceremony. Once we got to the cocktail hour (which was much later than anticipated) Sylvia's beautiful harp music graced the room. She plays with such elegance. It was spectacular! Sylvia sat and played her "harp" out. I would recommend her services to anyone! Thank you Sylvia!

Sylvia was excellent in every sense of the word. Her professionalism and her vast musical experience made our dinner one to remember for ever. Everyone had nothing but great praise for her excellent choice of music and her beautiful performance. We will definitely use her services again. We have already recommended her to some family members.

Bridal Shower•Reviewed on June 26, 2017•From Jericho, NY

Sylvia was great. She showed up early to our event. She took time to set up her Harp and she played perfect music for the specific event. Leading up to the event we had great communications which was very appreciative.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 19, 2017•From Riverhead, NY

Sylvia was prompt and very appropriately dressed. Her talent was incredible. My husband provided a list of classical pieces that he wanted Sylvia to play, and she played them beautifully as well as music that she thought the younger crowd would be familiar with. The guests were very pleased with her music . She was also very flexible and and prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend her.

Sylvia was fantastic from start to finish!! She was very perfessional, at the same time also extremely personable in planning for wedding performance. She arrived early for setup, and looked stunning!! Her performance was exceptionally great!! I will definitively refer Sylvia to anyone who needs a harpist.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 4, 2017•From Brooklyn, NY

Sylvia was wonderful to talk to you and go over ceremony details for our wedding. Though Sylvia was unable to perform at our wedding, she found a back up professional that she trusted and put me in contact with him. She provided him all of the details and information that we had discussed so that I would not be stressed knowing 3 weeks prior to the ceremony we were having someone else play. She was professional at every point of communication and helped to ensure our original plan went off without a hitch! Thank you!

Mother's Day Party•Reviewed on May 17, 2017•From Englishtown, NJ

We had Sylvia play at our Mother's Day brunch at Brandywine Living for our residents and their families. She played so beautifully and really set the perfect mood for our brunch. Both her and her husband are very lovely and very professional. My residents and guests were absolutely amazed at how talented she is!! Even though our event ended a little early she continued to play through the entire time she was booked for. I highly recommend her. Her music is even more beautiful when heard in person!!
