Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 16, 2014•From Saint Paul, MN
I am a performance member of GigMasters, myself, so I am always on the other side of this questionnaire. However, it is my pleasure to give Serena O'Meara the highest rating possible. She is a true professional and a consummate artist. Serena provided us with two hours of some of the most beautiful harp music ever, for my wife's birthday party. Our guests were mesmerized with the beautiful music she produced from a variety of the musical genre. Thank you, Serena, for the wonderful music you gave us for Terry's birthday party. I highly recommend Serena O'Meara to you for any event you have and for any event where you want beautiful music. Thank you again, Serena

I could not have asked for a more talented individual. Serena and her husband, who helped her setup, were both friendly and professional. And I appreciated that Serena took the time, prior to the event, to learn a bit about me and my mom. When she discovered that I played the flute she suggested that she and I we play a duet together as a way to honor my mom whose life we were celebrating. It was a special moment for me and my family. Serena is a class act!

I hired Bethany Shuda to play at my outdoor wedding ceremony on Sept 19, 2015. From the first email sent to her, Bethany was professional and accommodating with all my questions and concerns. She always promptly responded to all my emails. She made me feel confident that I had hired someone who was a professional. The day of the ceremony, she set up without me even knowing she was there. (As a bride you are quite busy, so it was nice not to be bothered with questions the day of the ceremony.) I have asked several guests and they all said the harp music was relaxing and beautiful to listen to before and after the ceremony. Thank you so much Bethany!

Sharon and Serena provided the perfect ambiance to our "Downton Abbey" Surprise Tea Party for Susan! Their talent, enthusiasm, and friendliness were mentioned to me (the host) many times by all who attended. Had the pleasure of attending their practice session where they both went above and beyond by learning to play "Downton Abbey" music for the tea! I could not have asked for a more talented pair to take us all back to the 1920's to make this a very special day for Susan (who was "joyfully crying" that day). Thank you both for a memorable day with my wife and friends! It could not have been better! :>>>

Serena plays her harp beautifully and showed herself a true professional in carrying out her assignment. Her playing provided a wonderful calm to the pre-dinner reception, a perfect antidote to the stress of planning and preparing for the wedding. I especially appreciated her gentle manner with the children who were curious about her harp. I am happy to recommend Serena to anyone planning an event that would be enhanced by the sound of the harp.

Serena did a fabulous job playing at our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception. We were pleased not only with her talent in playing the harp, but also her professionalism. We highly recommend Serena as a harpist for any event that needs that extra touch of elegance!

Serena did a fantastic job with the music for our wedding! She helped us make our selections by playing small parts of several pieces of music when we met with her before the wedding. She was very friendly and easy to work with.
She played beautifully before, during and after our wedding ceremony. She then moved herself to play for us while we had dinner. We would definitely recommend choosing Serena!!

Bethany was amazing! We hired her to play at the ceremony. She arrived at the church early, checked in with us and set up. The harp was beautiful! We felt very comfortable with Bethany and we were happy with the ceremony music. We asked for a recommendation for a song to be played during our unity candle lighting and loved the song choice. We would definitely recommend her. Thank you O'Meara Music for being a part of our day.

Serena was wonderful to work with. She was always prompt and thorough in communicating and couldn't be more pleasant to talk with. She helped us find the right music, and she took care to make sure everything would go smoothly on our wedding day -- for instance she took the initiative to speek with the priest early on to determine where she would be playing, made sure she had all the right contact information, arrived at the church plenty ahead of time on the wedding day. Her music was absolutely beautiful and everything we hoped for -- she is obviously very talented. We could not be happier and I would highly recommend Serena with no hesitation whatsoever.
