Wedding•Reviewed on June 27, 2018•From Monroe, NY

Pure magic. I couldn't imagine my wedding ceremony without a harp and Karen played beautifully. It made my ceremony so magical and set the tone for the evening. My guests are still raving about how amazing it was. Thank you Karen for a wonderful experience.

Baby Shower•Reviewed on April 24, 2019•From Poughkeepsie, NY

At first I was skeptical about Gig Master’s legitimacy. However, I am glad that I found it! For through it, I found a reliable and perfect Harpist. Karen has unbelievable talent playing the harp. We are so pleased to have enlisted her service for our very special Baby Celebration! Her professionalism surpassed our expectations, and we definitely recommend her to others who are looking for a Harpist. Our guests and I very much enjoyed the musical selections and rhythm that she peiced together and performed. Karen, thank you for enriching our Baby Celebration with your excellent musical talent and a gentle ambiance. Our best regards for your future.

Karen was so amazing! She was so easy to work with, and accommodating when my daughter was selecting her wedding music. She is a true professional! She was friendly and greeted my daughter warmly on her special day. Her music is ethereal and definitely elevated the ceremony. Highly recommend Karen!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 26, 2013•From West Orange, NJ

Karen was WONDERFUL. x 10 !!! Amazing talent! Everyone at the party was commenting how beautiful her playing was. Many people asked for her card in hopes of having her play at their future events. Most professional...courteous and kind. Very special! I recommend her highly and hope to have an event where I may call on her again! Thanks Karen!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 18, 2012•From Cresskill, NJ

We hired Karen to play our wedding ceremony. Karen was an amazing performer. I had 2 songs that I really wanted for the procession. She had no hesitation to learn them and played them beautifully, beyond what I could have imagined it would sound like. We received many compliments from our guests on the beauty of her playing. She will add a wonderful touch to anyone's event.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 22, 2015•From New York City, NY

Karen Stern was incredible! She played special requests for our wedding luncheon, figured out logistics in terms of where to set up, and her playing was gorgeous. Just the right level, too, for us to have had conversations while feeling a touch of music. She's a pleasant person of exceptional talent…highly recommend her!

Karen was amazing! Her harp is beautiful and the songs she played were perfect. She was very accommodating and laid back. I highly recommend her and I'm extremely satisfied with her services. I cannot wait to get my wedding video just so I can hear her play.

Funeral•Reviewed on March 19, 2017•From Parsippany, NJ

We contacted Karen last minute to play at my father's funeral. She did everything we asked her to do in coordination with the church and the singer. Her playing was magical and created the perfect setting for a profoundly beautiful ceremony. I am grateful to have found her.

Wedding•Reviewed on January 11, 2009•From Cedar Grove, NJ

A wedding is one of the most special days of someone's life. From the moment I contacted Karen her professionalism, accomodating ways, the talent of her playing and her assurance that all would be exactly what I ordered surpasses the #5 of your rating scale... This woman is defintely A 10!. Everyone was so impressed with her performance and quality of playing.. I highly recommend her for any event and it would be my pleasure to have anyone contact me for further information. Leny and I "Thank You" Karen for bringing the beauty of the harp music to our special day. Donna and Leny Nigro

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 14, 2015•From West Orange, NJ

Meeting & working with Karen was a pleasure. She played beautifully when we "auditioned" her, & she did an excellent job at my wedding ceremony. As a classical musician myself I was very particular about what pieces to play & not play, and Karen was very accommodating & either knew or learned my choices. My friend, who is a professional singer & voice teacher, said they enjoyed making music together & Karen was very personable. I only wish that after spending all that time choosing the music, I would've gotten to hear more than half my bridal processional as I walked down the aisle in a haze, & the collaboration with my singer. Story of a bride's life!

We couldn't have been happier with Karen. She added a special touch of class to a simple wedding ceremony! She was always available for communication before the event and was open to last minute changes! We are so grateful that she shared her special talent with. She plays beautifully, with grace and professionalism. Highly recommended! Thank you so much, Karen!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 20, 2010•From West Orange, NJ

Karen was AMAZING! She was super accommodating and we were able to meet with her a few months before our big day, hear her play and make our musical selections. She was super professional throughout and was an important part of our wedding. We received so many compliments and are so glad we selected her. Please do not hesitate to book her if you are looking for an exceptional and talented harpist. Thanks Karen!

Wedding•Reviewed on April 11, 2016•From Waldwick, NJ

Karen was the harpist during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour this past weekend (April 10, 2016). She went what we felt was above and beyond in terms of working with our Cantor as her accompanist. She generously offered to let us hear her play at her home and we were taken aback by her amazing talent. We would recommend Karen to our family, friends and anyone one else in need of a harpist for their next affair.

A heartfelt congratulations on your beautiful wedding! I am so happy that you were so pleased. I truly enjoyed being a part of your special day and appreciate the wonderful feedback. All the best!!!
