Review by Erica S.
Awards Night Party•Reviewed on January 30, 2017•From Fort Worth, TX
Margaret was amazing from the initial phone call! She listened to my needs and tried to find the best solution. With only a week to prepare, she performed wonderfully! Very upbeat and fun to work with even if it was only for a week. I would recommend Margaret to anyone looking for beautiful music and a wide range of talents. Thank you Margaret for a magical evening! You and your team really set the mood for the entire event and made it a success!

Erica S, was also amazing to work with and she even talked me into getting out my accordion that I had not played in years to go with her Paris cafe themed event. I would not have done that for the average person, trust me!!
I took my harp to make sure if the accordion was so bad I would have back up but it turned out great and ended up with only one Harp song!!! I now might be able to get a job in Paris thanks to Erica!!!

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on September 13, 2015•From Dallas, TX
Margaret is outstanding. From the date of original booking, she was very accommodating, and willing to tailor her performance to our taste. Once at the event, Margaret's music was beautiful, and perfectly suited to the venue and event (a rehearsal dinner for 100). She provided continuous music without taking breaks during our 2 1/2 hour event. I would strongly recommend Margaret for any event that demands an elegant harpist.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 13, 2012•From Dallas, TX
Margaret is simply the best. When I arrived to her home to go over the music selections she was more than helpful. Having done hundreds and hundreds of weddings she knew I was not prepared to be a bride. She helped with everything. The music selections were perfect, but she also had other services. I ordered my sand ceremony items and programs from her. She made the process so simple I could not thank her enough. She really knows what she is doing. All of my guests loved the harp music. She can do anything you put in front of her, trust me! She is AWESOME. If you want a wonderful wedding contact her ASAP!

Celebration•Reviewed on March 9, 2015•From Dallas, TX
About our private candle light celebration of Valentine's day at my home I hired Margaret to set up early to surprise us with Heavenly Music as we entered. Spectacular impression and she played non stop for 2 hours entertaining us with classical music and then of our requests. Ending the evening with one of my favorites Don't Cry for Me Argentina!!! Margaret’s performance was superlative. So you know what we thought of her, I hired her for my big Christmas party in December.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 19, 2008•From Fort Worth, TX
Margaret played at a gala Christmas party for us. Her harp echoed in the rotunda and was perfect to set the mood for the elegant evening. Later in the evening, she moved to the upper room of the home and played the piano with style and grace, ringing out Christmas carols and songs which kept the festivity of the season. I am pleased to say that we will be retaining her services at our future parties, and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting an elegant, stylish accompanist at their event!

Wedding•Reviewed on July 8, 2013•From Southlake, TX
Margaret was so helpful with the music selections and with the preparation leading up to the wedding day. She came early and was totally set up prior to any guest arrival. I had total confidence in her playing without any rehearsal.
She was a big part of the successful event!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 4, 2004•From Irving, TX
Margaret is an extremely talented musician. We were fortunate enough to book her for the annual Holiday Party. Playing for nearly 500 people, she amazed us with her harp and piano talents. We would recommend her to any inquiring party and definitely plan on booking her for future events.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 22, 2008•From Irving, TX
This was such a great experience, all of the guests were amazed at the sound and clarity of the music. My mother was the guest of honor for the party and she pulled up a chair and just sat and listened. Thanks so much Margaret.

It was a pleasure to work with Margaret -- she is not only very professional she is an extremely gifted musician. Everyone who has given me feedback on our event has commented on how much they enjoyed the background music by "that wonderful harpist"!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on January 3, 2013•From Dallas, TX
Margaret was amazing! She was an hour early so we got to listen to her warm up before the ceremony! Her skill was beyond amazing and the harp was so powerful it FILLED the entire church.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 22, 2007•From McKinney, TX
We used only their violinist for this event - Nathan Fick and he was wonderful. He was accomodating, very professionally dressed and his violin playing was beautiful.
Margaret made the arrangements and it was effortless on my part which was greatly appreciated.
Would use them again and again with confidence.

Margaret:
I just want to thank you for making our wedding so special and memorable. The harp music was so beautiful in the chapel and everyone loved the trio in the reception hall. Once again thank you so much for making our day perfect.

Private Party•Reviewed on December 9, 2006•From Garland, TX
Margaret Atkinson was every bit the professional that I had hoped she would be. Her talent is more than my words can every describe. She was much more than accommodating on fulfilling my special requests and all my family at the Wright Family Christmas Gathering raved about her performance. Family members are still calling and complimenting the entertainment. Thank you so much for your help.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 24, 2006•From Dallas, TX
Margaret provided just the right note of elegance and sophistication for an evening cocktail party given in honor of my best friend. From the moment I contacted her to engage her services until I bid her goodbye at the end of the function, she was always extremely thoughtful, accommodating, and perfectly poised. The music was superb! Just the right blend of popular and classical melodies, played with perfection. Guests commented throughout the evening about what a lovely mood was produced by the excellent harpist. I would recommend Margaret without reservation for anyone desiring a "celestial" experience for any function!

Wedding•Reviewed on July 5, 2008•From Dallas, TX
Margaret did a tremendous job for my sister's wedding. She offered advice and assistance in the selection of repertoire, yet she listened and carefully considered all of the bride's requests. The end product was most satisfying, and her beautiful playing made the wedding. Thank you, Margaret.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 2, 2010•From Fort Worth, TX
Margaret was very accommodating to my song requests. In fact, many of my songs were not on her playlist so she obtained the sheet music and learned the pieces. That was wonderful. She also honored my request on professional attire for the event, arrived on time, & always confirmed my wishes about time played. She plays well on both the harp and piano as well as with other musicians. She will definitely add a lot of beauty to your event. There is NOTHING like LIVE MUSIC at special events! Skip the canned music if at all possible. It just isn't the same.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 19, 2007•From Murphy, TX
I can not say enough wonderful things about Margaret. She and I hit it off from the first converstaion. She knew all the songs I wanted to hear and she even accommodated my vocalist by changing the Key for Amazing Grace. She is a very classy lady and extremely talented. Her music is beautiful! I almost chose keyboard music and I am so glad that I didn't. Margaret's music is like music from heaven! Thank you Margaret for making my special day even more special!

Wedding•Reviewed on June 12, 2004•From Kaufman, TX
I didn't get to meet Margaret before the wedding, but we spoke on the phone several times. She showed up on time and played beautifully. My wedding was absolutely perfect. My only regret was not getting to speak to Margaret after the ceremony to thank her. I would recommend her to other brides.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 10, 2006•From Carrollton, TX
Just wanted to comment on how fortunate we were to find Margaret Atkinson and her group on your website. Our event was a small garden wedding at the home of the bride. All we needed was a violinist. Margaret recommended Nathan Frick and had him contact us. The bride and groom had several special request. Nathan graciously agreed to play all of them. The music he provided was excellent and set the tone for a lovely and memorable evening. I would highly recommend Margaret and her group.
