Reverend Bill did a phenomenal job. I certainly recommend. All of my guest loved everything he played. They were so in awe!! I'm so glad we found him, and booked him, he was everything we hoped. Very professional. And very kind. Our wedding was definitely a lot more special and memorable because of Reverend Bill. We thank you so much, and God bless!

Jasmine and Elvin, it was a pleasure to play the harp for your beautiful wedding in Destin. It was a pleasure to meet you both as well as your family and friends. I will always remember your ceremony as the first time that I played the great song "Forever Holy." Now I will be playing it frequently as well as your processional "The Goodness of God." I wish you both
"every good and perfect from above coming down from the Father of lights." Pastor Bill

Rev. William Reister gave us the most magical ceremony we could ever have hoped and dreamed for. Our guests absolutely loved hearing the gorgeous harp under massive oak trees and spanish moss, it was truly ethereal. He was very communicative and arrived over an hour before our ceremony to prepare. We could not have asked for a more beautiful ceremony.
:
Gabrielle, thank you sincerely for your kind words. Your positive review helps others to know that they can trust me to arrive early, be easy to work with, and provide beautiful music. It was a glorious day that the Lord gave you for your ceremony under the oaks in Bluffton. It was an honor to play the harp for your ceremony. I pray that the Lord will bless you and Ryan with "every good and perfect gift from above."

Rev William hosted the most wonderful experience as he played his harp during our Gala. He was on time and was ready to play when the gala began. His music was soothing and at the right volume to enhance conversation. I will highly recommend him.

Rev. Bill Reister is an amazing musician and a truly lovely person. His repertoire of Harp music is seemingly endless. His talents added immeasurably to my daughter’s outdoor wedding ceremony. I could not recommend him more enthusiastically!! We were truly blessed to have found this wonderful musician and man!

Mike, thank you very much for your kind words. I'm grateful for the opportunity to play for Emma and Jake's wedding in your lovely home. Your favorable review helps to give my potential clients the assurance that I will provide beautiful harp music for their event too. God bless you and your family. It was a true joy to be with you for such a special day. Pastor Bill

Rev.Bill was so kind and attentive and communicative. He was wonderful to work with. While I didn’t personally get to hear him play, I hear it was great.
:
Thank you for your kind words and favorable review, Andrea. It was a blessing for Susan and me to be part of a Christ centered wedding. I know how pleased you are that Hannah has a great Christian spouse. Sadly, it is often the bride and her mom and the bridesmaids that hear the least of the music. I'm glad the guests enjoyed the music. God bless you. Bill

So easy to work with!

Tad, thank you for your favorable review and kind words. It was a pleasure to play for the Valentine's Day dinner at The Rookery Marco Island in Naples. The guests were so appreciative and the staff was very kind too. One thing that made the trip memorable was seeing a huge alligator that someone had hit driving on the Tamiami Trail on the way to Miami. It's a first for my trips to many harp events in the last 30 years. We're glad to be safely home. God bless you with His abiding love. Pastor Bill

Mr. Reister was punctual and performed an amazing variety of songs for us. All of the guests loved the relaxing ambience of his harp and was the perfect touch to a beautiful day. We would absolutely love to experience his performance again and would highly recommend him to perform at your event. We will forever remember and cherish his performance and talent. Mr. Reister traveled a considerable distance to my event which exemplified his dedication and professionalism.

Pastor Bill Reister was phenomenal in every way. We hired him for a funeral service the last week of October 2024. Quick responses starting at the initial contact. Offered ideas in advance to make the event be its best. His playing was superb. His in-person professionalism was perfect. Warm and friendly. Can't say enough. Gary in Ormond Beach.

Reverend Bill was equal parts professional and friendly: he was a key part in making my wedding day beautiful and low-stress! He was easy and accessible in communication, especially when I had many, many questions. Not only was he kind and helpful, he plays harp beautifully. Thank you so much for all your effort in making my wedding special!

Faith, thank you so much for your kind words. Your comments mean a great deal to me not only as those of a beautiful bride but also as a fellow musician. Your solo was great and such a personal expression of your love for Rob. It was a pleasure to play the harp for your beach wedding. After a rainy day, it was so nice to see the Lord smile on you with sunshine. I wish you and Rob "every good and perfect gift from above". Bill

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 17, 2023•From Jacksonville, FL
Bill was AMAZING! He worked with Kyle and I for over a year and provided us a supportive and educational environment through premarital counseling that was centered around the love of God. He also learned all of the songs we asked him to including Perfect, Enchanted, and more. Our ceremony was magical because of his harp playing and it was personal because of the time we took to get to know us as a couple. I would absolutely recommend him and his services.
:
Kaelyn, thank you for your kind words! It was truly my pleasure to get to know you and Kyle and to play the harp and officiate for your wedding. You have a wonderful group of family and friends and we all rejoice with you. Congratulations also as we heard about your exciting new position in Winston Salem. God bless you both.

Rev William Reister
Did an incredible job at my daughters wedding there were a couple of songs that she had requested that he did not know and he took the time to earn them prior to the wedding.
I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Rev. William Reister was one of the best additions to our funeral service.
From the very beginning, he was very communicative & made a lasting impression with his beautifully played harp at our event.
I recommend him 100% to anyone looking to have a great addition to their event

Wedding•Reviewed on January 27, 2023•From Indialantic, FL
Bill is an incredibly talented harpist, but beyond that, what distinguishes him is how patient and careful he is. He has a large selection of modern songs that I like and even sounded better on our wedding day! I appreciated the careful planning that went into ensuring he got to town a few days before to avoid any potential highway mishaps. You can trust Bill to play the harp beautifully and to think through the logistics behind your day. I also appreciated how patient he was with us as we changed our contract quite a few times haha. He added the perfect touch to our ceremony, and I'd highly recommend him for any special event of yours!

This is the second time we have used Rev. William Reister and let me say he never disappoints us. We have used him at my Mother's 80th Birthday Dinner and also at the school I work at for a Dinner Theatre. We have had so many positive comments on his music. He arrives early to make sure he is ready before the event starts. We also have a friend that hired him to play at their Daughter's Wedding and they were just as pleased as we have been. We would highly recommend Mr. Reister to play at any event that you may have.
