About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
"The harp was played by Beth Paré and it took my breath away...." As was posted on the Angel of Hope Michiana website, I hope to take you and your guests' breath away at your elegant event.
I've played in the South Bend Symphony and the LaPorte Symphony Orchestras as a regular and as a sub, appeared as a soloist with the South Bend Youth Symphony, performed for eight summers as a featured musician at the Bar Harbor Inn and Asticou Inn on the Maine coast, entertained groups with harp demonstrations, accompanied vocalists and other musicians in recitals, provided a festive musical backdrop for cocktail hours and parties, and last but certainly not least, played at hundreds of weddings and receptions. Members of my audiences have included Joan Rivers, Mel Tormé, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Scribner, and Caspar Weinberger. I consider myself most fortunate to have such a unique and memorable career and truly enjoy each event and its planners and attendees.
I'm a graduate of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where I studied both harp and piano.
In addition to being comfortable in a variety of wedding ceremony settings, from Jewish to nondenominational to Shinto ceremonies. I'm also intimately familiar with the Catholic Nuptial Mass and have extensive experience in providing appropriate music for the Mass.
With over 30 years professional performing experience and proficiency in a variety of styles, I am eager to work with you to help make your own special occasion magical.

Review by Francisco B.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 26, 2022•From Buchanan, MI
She was beautifully dressed for the occasion. She was able to change our initial time of appointment as well. She played beautifully and we enjoyed conversation in between songs. Very pleasant and charming personality.

Banquet•Reviewed on August 16, 2022•From Freeport, IL
Beth was lovely to work with! She was on time for the event and was kind and cheerful in all her interactions. She did not require any assistance in transporting her harp to the stage - which I would not have been prepared for, so I greatly appreciated her capacity to set everything up on her own.

Thank you, Moriah! It was a pleasure to perform for your event!Review by Tracy S.
Holiday Party•Reviewed on December 26, 2021•From Culver, IN
Beth is an excellent harpist! I had her play at a Christmas Holiday Tea and it was absolutely lovely having her holiday music in the background. I would highly recommend her to anyone for any function!
