I have been performing professionally for weddings and special events for over 15 years. I hold a Bachelor's degree in jazz performance from the reputable University of Northern Colorado, and two graduate degrees in harp performance from the University of Denver where I was a finalist in the school's concerto competition. My musical travels have taken me all over the world- to the stages of Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and the Shanghai Performing Arts Center. I've also performed with popular artists including Sarah Brightman and Evanescence. I love meeting people through my performance experiences, and I ensure professionalism and quality. Can't wait to meet you!
Jenna did a wonderful job and was very professional. Would highly recommend!
Jenna did a lovely job bringing elegance and beauty to our mother’s memorial service. Worth every penny and would definitely consider her again for future events.
Ms Hunt arrived on time, appropriately dressed and set up to play with no fuss. She played beautifully.
I hired Jenna to play at the wedding as my wedding gift to the bride, and everyone enjoyed her music. She was great. The mother of the bride told me that she was very impressed by her talent. Her music was perfect for the patio wedding that had the Garden of the Gods as a backdrop. Best wedding gift! Wonderful harpist!
Thank you again Jenna!
I had never met Jenna prior to booking my event. At first, I was skeptical about booking a talent online without a personal referral. Within minutes of meeting Jenna, I knew that everything was going to be exceptional!!! Jenna was so professional and personable. Her music talent is exquisite.
I booked Jenna for a holiday home party and my guests were so impressed with the beautiful music that filled the home. Without hesitation.... I can highly recommend Jenna for any event that you might be planning. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could!!!
Jenna was lovely and we loved her music. Wish it could have been a bit louder. I had enough guests that it became more like background music but other than that it was simply wonderful.
Response from Jenna Hunt Music:
Thank you so much for your review and for your feedback. The setting was beautiful, and your family was so helpful. I'm glad I could be a part of your annual celebration this year.
Jenna played in our showroom grand opening. She was great and very professional. Stayed through the whole event and is super sweet and talented. Thanks Jenna! I got a lot of great comments from the audience about your performance.
Jenna was amazing for my Mom's memorial. Jenna's harp playing was gorgeous and just what we hoped for. Jenna was elegant, flexible and a wonderful addition to Mom's service.
Response from Jenna Hunt Music:

A harp is an expensive instrument, so some protective measures must be taken to ensure that the equipment remains at a top quality for performance...
1) A level playing surface off the ground/dirt with the dimension of (at least) 3.5ft x 5.5ft.
2) In the event of an outdoor performance, certain safety precautions are required to protect the equipment and performer.
- For high heat-affected areas and direct sunlight, a canopy must be covering Jenna Hunt and all instruments.
- In the event of rain/sleet/snow, Jenna Hunt and all equipment must be protected with a cover and a dry resting surface.
- In temperatures below 55-60F, the client must provide an alternative venue. If weather makes the performance impossible, the client must still pay Jenna Hunt the full contract price.
