Hi! đź‘‹ I'm Dre and I play the harp and I'd love to play for your event. I've been playing harp for 20+ years and I am a classically-trained-turned-modern harpist + mobile DJ.
I customize the setlist and vibe for every client and event I perform at and play weekly at functions such as weddings, corporate events, private parties, and sound baths (group and private).
Words + videos online can't do the harp justice (the best comparison I have is seeing a breath-taking sunset in person vs the photo you take to remember it ;)

Our wedding day was made even more magical by the enchanting melodies performed by Adrienne, our harpist. She is truly amazing and deserves every bit of praise!
From the moment she began playing, Adrienne's music filled the air with a sense of elegance and romance. Each note was played with precision and passion, creating a beautiful ambiance that perfectly complemented our ceremony. Her repertoire was diverse and well-chosen, spanning classical pieces to modern favorites, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Not only is Adrienne an incredibly talented musician, but she is also a pleasure to work with. Leading up to the wedding, she was responsive, accommodating, and attentive to our requests. On the day of the event, she arrived early, set up seamlessly, and performed flawlessly throughout the ceremony and reception.
Our guests were captivated by Adrienne's performance, and many commented on how her music added an extra layer of magic to our special day. We are incredibly grateful to have had her as part of our wedding, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
If you're looking for a harpist who will elevate your wedding to the next level with her extraordinary talent and professionalism, look no further. Adrienne is simply amazing and exceeded all our expectations!
Response from Adrienne Knauer, Harpist + DJ:
Thank you for the kind words Chris!! I loved playing your wedding and getting to know your fun loving family. All the best!! <3
Adrienne was amazing! Would recommend her to anyone!
Adrienne really added to the ambiance of our desert wedding. Her playing was beautiful! She was able to play all of our favorite songs for when we walked up and down the aisle. The whole process was very smooth and she was very reliable. It was nice to not have to worry on the wedding day about all of the details! I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Adrienne was total perfection!!! She is super professional and extremely talented as a harpist!!!
Beautiful job! She is amazing! So happy with our decision to go with Adrienne to play at our wedding!
We enthusiastically recommend booking Adrienne to perform at your wedding. We were fortunate to meet her in Phoenix and hire her for our wedding in Tulum, Mexico. Her electric harp skills are exceptional, and her renditions of modern tunes brought a distinctive elegance to our ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests were thoroughly impressed, and the atmosphere she created was truly exceptional!
The only thing that made our scenic wedding location even more beautiful was the sound of Adrienne harping. Adrienne made picking wedding music stress-free. We would hire her a thousand times over.
When starting the wedding planning process we knew we wanted live music as part of our special day and I was immediately sold on Adrienne! Her style is such a wonderful blend of classical and modern day edgy and it absolutely wowed both us and our guests. Watching video playback of our day and hearing her beautiful version of Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley as I walked down the aisle, Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap as we had our first kiss, and clips from our guests during cocktail hour of her absolutely crushing Still Dre are some of my favorite wedding memories. Not to mention she played Nothing Else Matters by Metallica as a special request from us. There is not a single thing Adrienne can't do!
On top of her incredible music, booking and communication was a breeze! She is truly a dream to work with and hear on your special day. We can't thank her enough for making our wedding day so special. We highly recommend her and will be sure to tell anyone and everyone!
Adrienne is a phenomenal harpist. The way she pushes the boundaries of classical expectations for harp music is wonderful. The music she played enhanced our wedding ceremony and made it all the more special. We loved working with Adrienne and having her as a part of our wedding day.
Adrienne went above and beyond for our wedding. We had a schedule conflict with a vocal artist and she diligently found a replacement to compliment her gorgeous harp playing. The music was perfection. It really set a sophisticated elegant tone, but was modern and upbeat. Everyone absolutely loved it! I would 10/10 recommend Adrienne.
Adrienne is an absolute pleasure to work with. She added the perfect touch to our ceremony, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
She is able to play newer songs, pop songs, as well as older songs. She has something for everyone.
One wonderful story that was relayed to us was when the groom's great uncle requested La Vie En Rose, Adrienne was able to being playing without missing a beat which brought him to tears immediately.
Thank you for making our day so special.
Adrienne Knauer gave our residents a fantastic performance of harp music for Valentine's Day. She played beautifully. She explained about the harp and how it worked. She also took requests. I highly recommend her if anyone is looking for harp music.
Adrienne was absolutely amazing! She is professional, accommodating and her skills are incredible. We had a small wedding and her music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner was beautiful and seamless. Her harp was just as stunning as her music. Our guests (most unfamiliar with harp) were amazed and raved about her. We couldn't have asked for a better addition to our day!
Response from Adrienne Knauer, Harpist + DJ:
Thank you so much, Angela! You had a gorgeous wedding and it was a pleasure getting to know you! Thank you for supporting live music :)
Magnificent! Our guests were overwhelmed with Adrienne’s performance and beautiful instrument at our wedding. It was such a touch of class to have her perform for our ceremony and pre-reception activities. She is extremely accomplished with a wide genera of music for any taste. She is also a beautiful person inside and out and a true pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Adrienne for any event, her talent is quite simply amazing!
Response from Adrienne Knauer, Harpist + DJ:
Thank you so much Sheila! I truly enjoyed playing on your wedding day. Thank you for supporting live music <3
Our guests were blown away when they entered our home and were greeted by Adrienne on the harp with her vocalist, Kim, in the living room. Adrienne is a delight to work with and coaxes a wide of array of beautiful music from her magnificent instrument. She has my highest recommendation to elevate your special event to one your guests will long remember.
My church had a holiday tea in which Adrienne was our Harpist and she was wonderful. She showed up on time. She is very personable and good with our guest. Her performance was lovely! Many of our parishioners commented on how beautifully she played.
Response from Adrienne Knauer, Harpist + DJ:
Thank you for your kind review, Jeanna! I really enjoyed playing for your church's holiday tea party :) Hope to see you next year!

I provide an extensive list of music in my repertoire. I take requests I don't have music for and will send you recordings prior to your wedding.
I arrive one hour prior to the start of guests being seated to ensure everything is on time.
I play your choice of traditional, modern, or a combination of music for 30 minutes+ while your guests are being seated.
I play for processional (bridesmaids, ring bearer, flower girl, etc) then any songs you'd like during the ceremony (Ave Maria, Candle lighting ceremony).
Lastly I play for your recessional.
I'm available to play for cocktail hour. I have a mic and amp and play pop and show tunes (as well as any others you'd like). Guests love requesting songs off my iPad Pro.
