Grand Opening•Reviewed on August 27, 2018•From 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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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!

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!!

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!

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!
