"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.

Beth Pare Sherwood played at a memorial reception for my husband, Phillip. Phillip and I had a harpist 41 years ago at our wedding reception, so I wanted to tie a bow on our relationship. Beth not only tied the bow, but she put a bouquet of flowers and sprinkled moon dust on the occasion. She played all of our favorite tunes and the audience also thought she was wonderful. The occasion was in a museum and Beth supplied the right touch. She made it a perfect occasion!

Beth Paré Sherwood was absolutely wonderful to work with and added such a beautiful, elegant touch to our wedding ceremony. Her harp music was stunning and created the exact atmosphere we were hoping for. She was extremely flexible and was even willing to learn and play new music she hadn’t performed before, which meant so much to us. Beth was professional, kind, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We received so many compliments from our guests about how lovely the music was. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a talented harpist for their special even!

Beth was absolutely AMAZING! She communicated throughout the timeline. She took on a unique request with ease and talent. She was timely and thorough. Working with Beth was an ease both her talent and her personality and I would recommend her highly and hire her for future events. The guests loved having her as well and we had many comments on the personal touch.
