If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would! Karen learned harp versions of extremely obscure and niche songs for our wedding. 1,000,000,000/10 for sure. I would recommend Karen for anyone needing a harpist for any reason.

My experience with Karen Stern, harpist, was very positive from start to finish!!! I highly recommend her. She played heavenly harp music with a diversified selection of popular tunes and the classics. My guests were so delighted with her music and artistry. She played her repertoire for my cocktail hour that lasted one hour and 30 minutes. If you enjoy soft, angelic harp music then don't wait to book her.

Thank you very much Roxanne! I am so happy that you and your guests were so happy :) It was my pleasure to be part of your beautiful wedding. I wish you all the best!

We had a wonderful experience! The music Karen played was beautiful and really elevated our wedding! If you want to have live music but can only afford one musician, the Harp is the way to go. It sounds so full and elegant! The booking process was so simple and we only took a few minutes to figure out what music we wanted for our venue. Karen is the harpist to book for your event!

Thank you Kelsi! My wish was for you to love your wedding music, I'm so glad you did! Congratulations and all the best, here's to a lifetime of happiness together :)

Karen gave my daughter’s wedding ceremony an extra special touch of elegance. She plays exquisitely and has a extensive repertoire. Our guests enjoyed a beautiful prelude and the ceremony was ‘magical.’
She was so helpful throughout the planning process as well. I highly recommend Karen. I absolutely could not have chosen a better ceremony musician.

Karen was wonderful. She played for my father’s funeral. Many people commented, how nice the music was, very warm calming and peaceful. Karen came in set up with no disruptions and exited the same way. 5 stars all the way, again she was wonderful, you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you, Dorothy. Thank you for allowing me to play for you and for this review. I am glad my music brought warming calm and peace, I was hoping it would... it was a pleasure to meet you and to hear about your wonderful father.

Karen was amazing! On top of beautifully playing a wonderful selection of music (we gave her some suggestions on theme and styles and she put together a set that perfectly matched what we wanted), she was also very kind, super easy to work with, and a great person in general. Everything went exactly as we hoped it would and we would gladly and highly recommend Karen.

Thank you so much John! I truly enjoyed meeting and playing for you and your beautiful family. It was truly my pleasure :)

We had a great experience working with Karen and having her play her harp at our wedding! The booking process was simple and easy - we booked Karen to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour. As we got closer to the date, we had a call with Karen where we discussed our song choices for each portion. Once the wedding day approached, Karen was on-time, set everything up seamlessly, and provided beautiful music that made our wedding that much more perfect. All of our guests commented on how beautiful her music was! Highly recommend!

Dear Christine,
Thank you for this feedback! I loved playing for your beautiful wedding! I am very happy that you were so happy with me and your wedding music! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!
Sincerely,
Karen

Karen was fantastic! I hired her as one act for a corporate event with multiple performance spaces. It was a last minute hire, and she was accommodating in every way. Each song she selected was as pleasant as her overall demeanor. She's completely professional and personally very easy to work with. Her instrument is beautiful, and she was a wonderful addition to the event. I will absolutely be hiring her again.

Karen made my wedding ceremony incredibly beautiful. My guests are still complimenting her performance at my wedding this weekend. She has left a lasting impression on all my guests, and truly made my wedding memorable. Karen knew I loved Disney, and she made sure to play different Disney songs throughout the evening. She gave my wedding such a unique touch, and I am forever grateful. I highly recommend Karen!
