Review by Matthew P.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 21, 2022From Brooklyn, NY

Emily performed absolutely brilliantly for our wedding. She was easy to get in touch with and responded quickly, and we had several atypical song requests (Ghibli, Zelda) that she was able to incorporate and make flow seamlessly into the ceremony. Great energy, great music, and would absolutely hire again.

I hired Emily John for a corporate event I was hosting in May and I can honestly say that she was absolutely fabulous to work with. She was extremely sweet and very professional. She was able to add that classic flair that fit the party perfectly. I would definitely refer her to anyone who was considering having a harpist. I hope to be able to use her services again next year.

Emily was always there to answer questions when needed, helped me arrange the entire music ensemble with little intervention on my part. Made great suggestions and played beautifully. Hearing her harp when I walked down the aisle brought tears immediately to my eyes...beautiful day!!!

Emily just played at our wedding in August and she was a big hit! I really enjoyed working with Emily John and I would highly recommend her for any event. She is very talented and her selection of music was very impressive. She was so easy to work with and very accommodating. A+ all around!

Emily was very patient and accommodating. We had very bad weather, consequently, quite a few delays and late start but she was very patient and understand. Emily was the first to arrive..hours before the appointed time. Emily is a Star! Helen Gibson

Private PartyReviewed on June 28, 2008From Lakehurst, NJ

Emily John played for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary and they were overwhelmed with her. The Manager of La Bove Grande was thrilled with her. She was on time, accomodating when the dinner ran past the contract time and she was able to provide us with additional music (we worked out the additional cost). She was professional, personal and terrific. The rest of my family was overjoyed with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone else for an evening of beautiful music.

Emily John was extremely professional at all times, super talented with a wonderful personality. I hope the occasion arises where we can use her again. I received many compliments from people at the cocktail hour and she played the music we requested. I would recommend her to anyone! She was wonderful!

WeddingReviewed on January 27, 2008From Howard Beach, NY

Emily's professionalism was calming and uplifting, she had plenty of positive things to say about marriage, but she was such a pleasure to deal with. Russo's was very positive on her actions as well, they were very happy with her as well. This may sound like a friend writing this for her to pump her up. I assure you, its not. Emily was a great pleasure. The entire process was great. You wont be dissapointed. Regards,

ChristeningReviewed on November 23, 2007From Rochester, NY

Emily's presence at a party we gave on November 23rd to celebrate the marriage of our daughter which took place last summer in Denver made it a perfect occasion. If I had any question at all as to whether it would be worth the cost to engage her, she made me realize I had made a good choice very soon into the evening. Her music was superb and her presence was elegant. She loves what she does and it came through to all who heard her. Many of my guests commented on how much they enjoyed her music but no one could have enjoyed it more than me.

Emily was such a cooperative individual to work with. She accommodated our schedule for the audition, placement changes for her performance, and any other circumstances that arose. Her talent and versatility of repertoire was outstanding. I highly recommend her! Venus Adore, NYC

WeddingReviewed on July 13, 2007From Bronx, NY

Emily met with s prior to the wedding to allow us to listen to her play pieces we were interested in having performed. She made suggestions and had an enormous amount of material and selections for us to choose from.She also asked us what we wanted her to wear (which shows how much she wanted to accommodate us) On the day of the event, Emily was punctual, pleasant and we couldn't have been any happier with her performance!

I hired Emily to play during the ceremony of my wedding. She is a true professional and exceptionally talented. We requested a particular rock song that she played beautifully. I would recommend hiring Emily for any occasion.

Emily was a pleasure to work with. We were invited to her home to hear her play the harp. She helped pick musical selections for the ceremony and talked through everything with us. The day of she was prompt and on time. Everything was flawless and she was a true professional. Thank you for making my wedding memorable.

Memorial ServiceReviewed on June 8, 2013From New York City, NY

Emily played beautifully, was a delight to work with, and made my Grandmother's memorial service into a truly memorable event. She went out of her way to learn a special musical arrangement I had created for the event, and everyone involved was very impressed. Thanks, Emily -- I look forward to working with you again!
