Wedding•Reviewed on September 18, 2025•From Audubon, PA

Ruth provided absolutely beautiful music for my son’s wedding. She was wonderful to work with, and we chose to have both Ruth and her husband perform together on harp and violin. Their music added such an elegant touch to the ceremony, and so many guests remarked that it was the most memorable wedding ceremony they had ever attended. The music created a special, relaxing, and joyful atmosphere that truly elevated the day. Ruth made the entire process seamless, she guided us through selecting music and offered thoughtful suggestions. I wholeheartedly recommend Ruth to anyone looking to add a beautiful musical experience to their wedding or special event.

Thank you for these kind words, Christy! It was such a pleasure to work with you.

Ruth played the harp at my oldest daughter‘s bridal shower and made the day absolutely perfect, her selection of music along with the music. My daughter and her fiancé chose set the mood for the entire affair, it wouldn’t have been the same without her. We will absolutely hire Ruth for every special occasion

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 8, 2023•From Collinsville, TX

Ruth brought such magic to our wedding ceremony! The music sounded so beautiful in the chapel, and Ruth was so easy and kind to work with throughout the whole process and the wedding day. She helped me narrow down suggestions and pick songs when I was stuck in indecision. Hiring Ruth was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding!!
