Mary King did a wonderful job with the musical pieces and timing. I received many compliments from guest about the harpist. There was never a dull moment. The guests enjoyed listening to the music as they waited for the ceremony to begin. I would definitely use Mary again for any future event.

Mary was a pleasure to work with! She called a few days before our wedding to confirm our requests. She showed up early and played as our guests entered cocktail hour. It was perfect for our wedding and we would recommend her to all of our friends and family.

Mary is a very talented musician and performer. She is fantastic to work with for any type of event. I have been hiring Mary for the past several years as part of our entertainment line-up and have never been disappointed. She is very professional ,reliable and always calls to confirm details prior to each event. A true joy to work with!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 15, 2017•From Peabody, MA

From the very beginning Mary King was very sweet and I knew I had made the right choice. Her willingness to get to know more about my mom whose party is was for, our culture and our song requests was refreshing. The day of the event, she arrived early as we were setting up and we hit it off immediately, by the time guests arrived, Mary had become part of our family. When my mom arrived to her surprise birthday party, the harp was clearly her favorite part of the celebration, especially when Mary let my mom play the harp and gave her a mini lesson. She also played the fiddle during the birthday song. Mary was very professional, sweet and I would book her again.

We hired Mary for harp music during our wedding ceremony. Mary was very thorough during all of our consultations leading up to the big day, had a great variety of tunes to choose from, and made excellent suggestions. Mary gave her honest feedback about what would work best in terms of song selections and I trusted her completely. Thanks, Mary! Kelsey & Tommy

Hi Mary! You are so skilled with the harp! Having you play for my wedding was dream come true. It was just the right kind of music for the event and so lovely to my guests as well. I noticed a grouping around you as you played outdoors. I wasn’t sure if your amplifier would be enough to cover the need to hear the softer sounds of a harp, but it was PERFECT! I felt your lovely warm spirit as well. I would recommend you to anyone, your gift is superb. Thank you again for being there to make my day even more special. <3 Warmly, Cheryl

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 22, 2018•From North Smithfield, RI

Mary (fiddle/harp) played along with Torrin (Irish bagpipes) and Kevin (guitar/fiddle). Music was played for the entire 2+ hours. The greatest compliment came from my wife. The occasion was her surprise birthday party. She walked into another room and thought the music playing was a recording. All three played magnificently. Our guests were not only delighted but enthralled. Would recommend highly without any reservation.

Club Event•Reviewed on March 4, 2018•From Westerly, RI

The Irish Coastal Club of Westerly RI has hired Mary on many occasions. We have had her for our Christmas parties and for main events open to the public that are held at the Westerly Public Library, Westerly RI. Mary draws a good sized crowd. Mary is always prepared, on time and professional. She is a versatile performer having entertained us with her harp, fiddle, singing and jokes. She has a great rapport with all ages in the audience.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 24, 2018•From Rumford, RI

I was so lucky to find Mary King as our harpist for our 9-15-18 wedding. She is a WONDERFUL choice for anyone looking for the beautiful sounds of a harp. We were so grateful to have her play beautifully before and during our ceremony. Mary is very prompt when contacting her, I never had to wait for a response, she makes it about you and whatever journey you are about to take. She plays beautifully and is very accommodating to your interests. She has a large repertoire of songs to play and also pointed out new ones she was working on! You will be so happy working with Mary, she truly is an amazing fine and a pleasure to work with!!! Thank you so much Mary!

Wedding•Reviewed on January 5, 2019•From Dedham, MA

Mary King is a stellar harpist, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She was responsive and attentive throughout the planning phase (we engaged her to play the ceremony music at our New Year's Eve wedding), and she even agreed to learn a special song at my request for my bridal processional. This was a pleasant surprise given that Mary's standard catalog of songs already boasts a great many options. Mary is professional, considerate, and above all, an outstanding harpist (she played the violin at our event as well - an added bonus). I would highly recommend Mary to anyone looking to incorporate harp music into your special event, wedding or otherwise. A+

Holiday Party•Reviewed on December 28, 2018•From Lexington, MA

We hired Mary to provide background music to our annual holiday open house. Our goal is to create a warm, relaxed atmosphere for our employees. The music Mary provided was the perfect addition to our event. After arriving early to set up so she could be playing as people arrived, Mary played the entire time she was here without a break. We found Mary to be very perceptive and talented, most importantly to us very friendly and easy to talk to. We hope to have her come back soon to play for us at other events.

Celebration•Reviewed on January 6, 2020•From Attleboro, MA

Mary arrived to our event 1 hour before the start to ensure that she was set up and her harp was "warmed up". She made sure to include all our requested music and additional music that would be pleasing to our guests. She was very personable and professional towards our guests. We will most certainly consider her for future events. Thank You Mary!

Funeral•Reviewed on November 18, 2019•From Lynn, MA

Mary was amazing, brilliant, fantastic, and unbelievably wonderful. Thank you! She played gentle, calming, Irish music at the funeral of our beloved aunt. Every single person was completely captivated by her. Should you have an opportunity to work with Mary, do yourself a favor and book her! You will be forever changed, she is absolutely the real deal. What a pleasure! I cannot wait to work with her again! Thank you very much, Mary!

Mary was a true professional with amazing talent! She was not only so incredibly helpful in selecting music for the ceremony and reception, but played each song beautifully the night of. I would highly recommend her and hire her again in a heartbeat!

Mary King and her celestial music ushered in the frontpiece of my daughters's wedding - the processional, the vows, and the recessional. Just heavenly!

I discovered Mary from searching on GigMasters almost 2 years ago. She played for a specialty yoga workshop called Harp for the Heart on Valentine's Day. I immediately connected to her personality, gifts of music and ability to relate to my customers. I had her participate this October for Harp for the Harvest yoga and meditation. It was so beautiful! Once again, my customers absolutely loved her and the experience. I am excited to create another opportunity to work with her again. I am very confident she has the ability to acclimate to any environment - weddings, engagement celebrations, brunches, any social event and of course Yoga!
