Review by Rob K.

WeddingReviewed on March 31, 2013From Manchester, CT

Mary showed up early, left a little late and learned a new song for our wedding. She did a great job communicating with us before the ceremony. She did a great job. Thanks Mary!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on February 8, 2013From Newport, RI

Mary was wonderful from start to finish. She was a huge help when it came to suggesting songs and transitions for various parts of my wedding ceremony. The music was beautiful! She reached out early, checked back as my wedding got closer, and made sure to confirm the day before. While I only had a brief moment to shake her hand, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mary to ANYONE!

Mary is just great, such a talented performer and musician and a really nice person to work with. She's professional and conducted a few phone interviews and makes sure to confirm the day before our event. I highly recommend her and her fellow musicians, they are wonderful to work with!

ChristeningReviewed on September 12, 2012From Atkinson, NH

Mary King was exactly what I needed to make my grandaughter's christening reception so very special. I hired Mary as a surprise to my daughter and son-in-law. Through our discussions on the phone Mary was extremely accommodating, ensuring that just the right music would be played during the afternoon. The beautiful music filled the room and created a wonderful feeling of bliss just perfect for welcoming a new baby into God's family. The cost was very fair and Mary drove many miles to make this event. Mary arrived EARLY and played continuously throughout the afternoon. Even after almost all the guests had left she was still playing! We LOVED it! Thanks Mary!!!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 4, 2012From Simsbury, CT

Mary was wonderful to work with! She was very helpful offering many suggestions regarding selection of songs when we conferred by phone. Mary came early, played while our guests arrived and then moved to the wedding ceremony site. The music was lovely and our guests were very impressed. She even invited our grandchildren to play her harp. Mary seemed as excited about our daughter's special day as we were. We could not have been more pleased, and would invite her again for an appropriate occasion.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on January 14, 2013From Boylston, MA

All we can say to Mary is thank you, thank you, thank you! It was a pleasure working with her and we want to thank her for being a big part of our wedding day. Mary's tunes transformed our garden ceremony into a fairytale that was peaceful and serene and even more than we could have hoped for.Her attention to detail to make sure the tunes were "just right" to set the mood were impeccable and the entire ceremony was just truly splendid and heavenly not only for us but also for those in attendance. We highly recommend Mary and made our wedding day so special! -Jackie & Ryan 5/27/12

FuneralReviewed on May 23, 2012From Milton, MA

Mary is a great find. Her professionalism is matched only by her talent. If you have an occasion that would benefit from the soothing sound of a harp, you would do well by hiring Mary. I recommend her without reservation!

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on April 9, 2012From Harvard, MA

I was searching for someone to come play the fiddle and to teach some step dancing for my daughter's 5th birthday party. Mary King responded with such a genuine interest in coming to create a great time for my daughter and her friends that I knew right away we were in for a treat! Mary had a way about her that made me feel at ease working with her, and we found her to be the perfect mix of professional and personal. She was very gracious and easy going--and she brought a smile with her music that gave our birthday girl a fiddle/dance party she will never forget! :) She comes with our highest recommendation!

FuneralReviewed on April 8, 2012From Westford, MA

Mary played her beautiful harp and sang quietly at my mother's wake. Mary was extremely compassionate while we were making the plans. She could not have been more accommodating to our needs during a very stressful time. She arrived early, set up and played the entire 3 hours. She was so professional, that we would not have known she was there except for the heavenly music that was playing. Her talent is exceptional. The music that she played was soothing and uplifting. I would highly recommend hiring Mary for the wake or funeral of your loved one. She is very affordable and will bring an atmosphere of peace to a sad time.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on December 31, 2011From Framingham, MA

Mary did an absolutely fantastic job at our wedding. I recommend her whole heartily without any reservation. She discussed our ceremony at length with me several times over the course of planning the wedding, and was so flexible about what music would be played and helpful in guiding me towards what would work best. I trusted her judgement on all of the music selections and they all just sounded so wonderful. She arrived much earlier than guests did to set up, and even played after all the guests left while we took formal shots. I cannot express how much her music added to the atmosphere of our ceremony, and many guests told me how much they loved her music.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on September 25, 2011From Plymouth, MA

Mary was very professional and prompt in responding to our inquiries and offered many suggestions for music. She came early to set up and had a nice repoire with everyone. Her music added the perfect touch to my daughters wedding ceremony. I received many compliments regarding the beautiful music she played. I would not hesitate to recommend Mary King to my family and friends to play at a special event. Mary's talent as a harpist and warm Irish personality left us not only with a wonderful experience but she also is now considered a special friend. Thank you so much Mary for adding your special touch to our very important day. The Haidul Family

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on September 2, 2011From Newport, RI

Mary played harp for our wedding ceremony at the Hyatt Lighthouse on Goat Island, Newport, RI. It was amazing - She was amazing! She was very easy to get ahold of and discuss the playlist for the wedding - she emailed me suggestions and followed up with me to confirm. She played while guests were arriving and being seated, played for wedding party and my entrance and again while guests exited after the ceremony. It was a beautiful touch to the ceremony. Mary was super easy to work with and I am so happy we booked her for our wedding. I would definitely recommend Mary and her beautiful harp playing for your event.

Thank you for giving me the chance to share how much I enjoyed her!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on December 22, 2010From Winchester, MA

Mary was a delightful performer for my small wedding. She arrived on time, and her presence and humor was much appreciated, down to her magical green aloha slippers! I would highly recommend her if you want your wedding music to be special and to enjoy a talented musician. She played a few seasonal tunes that I requested that are not commonly played in the United States, and she played them well. You will be very happy with Mary King!
