Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 21, 2015•From Smithtown, NY
Sylvia was a splendid choice for our wedding! She came out to our venue in Smithtown NY no problem, was prompt and professional, and was short and sweet with scoping out the venue and suggesting the best setup for the ceremony and cocktail hour. She played BEAUTIFULLY. And based on her resume I totally trusted her with choosing the music selection- which we all did not regret! So happy we went with Sylvia! Made our wedding so special! Everyone raved about her!

Sylvia did a fabulous job performing at a nonprofit fundraising event in Flushing, New York last Wednesday. She was very well received before 400+ dinner guests for her elegant style and her skillful playing on the harp. She is a very responsible person as well ... arriving much earlier before the event so she could prepare the setup and test the sound system on stage. I would definitely invite her again next time!

Sylvia was great during our big day. Her harpist was on point and she was very attention to detailed. She played our song that we requested & was very easy to communicate with. If you ever need a harpist for a special occasion i would def give Sylvia a call!

Sylwia is so talented and plays like an angel. I could not have asked for a more beautiful instrument to be played at my Church during my wedding ceremony. And I did not have to worry about a thing! Sylwia was flawless. I hope I have the opportunity to listen to her play again! If not, I will just keep pressing rewind on my wedding DVD :)

Celebration•Reviewed on September 3, 2015•From Branford, CT
All who attended my mother's 80th birthday celebration were greatly blessed by Ms Sylvia Kowalczuk's beautiful harp music. Ms Kowalczuk was very professional in her approach, very kind, and a very elegent presence at the gathering. She is accomplished in a variety of music genres which added to her performance.
Ms Kowalczuk 's harp music wafted through the air filling the space in such a lovely way. The music felt warm, ethereal, spiritual, and added an elegant sophistication to the celebration. I was overjoyed with her performance. Every guest commented on how very much they enjoyed and were enriched by her harp music.
I cannot wait to hire her again.

Sylvia was amazing!!! She truly made our day special. She played every song we requested and even played a special song as we walked out to our cocktail hour. Working with her was so easy, as we had a number of song requests. She even learned a song for my niece to sing during our wedding. If you are looking for a harpist, you really should not look any further as she is absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to have another event so we can have her play again.

Silvia did an amazing job for my daughter's and her classmate's benefit concert just last month. She is a woman of elegance, who is very passionate about her music. We received so many compliments for her brilliant, energetic, and artistic performance with the harp. No wonder she was asked to play at important venues and before US presidents!! Silvia helped make the event a great success! We are all very grateful for her!! The Lee Family

Hire Sylvia! We received so many compliments from our guests about how lovely the ceremony was and it was all because of Sylvia. She made our wedding so unforgettable and elegant. I loved that Sylvia knew how to play Marry Me by Train and knew I had to hire her on the spot.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hi Sylvia did a FANTASTIC job at our party. She provided the type of music that was perfect for the occasion and knew when to step it up and when to be in the background.
I'd highly recommend her services to others!

We are so thrilled that we hired Sylvia for our wedding ceremony. She was amazing - everything you could want in a music professional. The got to our site early to make sure they were set up prior to their contracted start time. She was super helpful and accommodating in terms of what music selections we wanted and other special requests. They were also dressed appropriately. The music I heard was beautiful and I'm just sad that I couldn't be there to hear the pre-lude before the ceremony. Thanks for being a part of our day!

I hired Sylvia to play the harp in my wedding (during an outdoor cocktail hour). She's absolutely amazing, very professional and she was exactly what my wedding needed for that elegant touch. I was extremely happy with her and the way she played the harp! She was fantastic, very talented!

I just had my wedding yesterday and Sylvia was wonderful! Her music was absolutely beautiful, and all my guests love her! I have heard many harpists playing before and she was the best! She also worked very well with my other vendors and the communication was very clear. She's definitely going to be one of the highlight of any events! I'm planning on hiring her again for my future events!

We had a wonderful experience working with Sylvia and her friend who played the violin. She is professional and responds to questions in a timely manner. Sylvia arrived promptly (if not earlier) and the music she played during our ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful. We had an outdoor ceremony and the harp (with amp) was loud enough to hear. Even with the amp, the music was crisp and clear. During the reception, we had added a violinist to change things up a bit and it was wonderful. Sylvia learned a new song for me and played it during the reception, which gave my wedding an extra personal touch. I highly recommend Sylvia and I can't wait to hire Sylvia again!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on July 7, 2014•From Slate Hill, NY
We hired Sylvia to play at the cocktail hour of our wedding reception. Unfortunately, she injured her hand on the morning of our event, but we were very happy with the gentleman she arranged to have come in her place. He was very nice, very talented, and played the songs we originally requested of Sylvia. It was a perfect, beautiful day for us, and we're very happy to have had harp music at our cocktail hour. Thank you!

We were unsure who to book for our wedding music until we found Sylvia. Her music is breathtaking and we asked her to play our May ceremony right away. We kept this a secret from everyone. As expected, Sylvia’s talent and grace were the finishing touches of our ceremony – pulling everything that we worked so hard to achieve together – through the delicate strum of her harp. She was able to play every song we requested and one was more beautiful than the next. Everyone at our wedding complemented her.We could not have been more impressed. We highly recommend Sylvia for any event that needs a classy touch. Her amazing talent, elegance and beauty are unsurpassed!
