Elegant and affordable solution for any event. Large repertoire of all styles of music, specializing in classical and popular. Duet with local flutist/vocalist available. If there will be an organ or piano at your venue I would be glad to use these also to create a truly unique event. I have been providing music for weddings since 1984 and have backup instruments and transportation so you can relax and look forward to your special day.
Thank you for considering my services,
Linda Umstead
Celebrating a 10 year vow renewal and I am so glad we book Linda to help elevate the ceremony, she did such an amazing job! From our very first conversation she was super pleasant to work with. She invited my wife and I to meet face-to-face and so over the details of the day. I had a pretty organized vision for the day and Linda really helped to enhance this to elevate the moments. She was flexible enough to gladly learn a new song that was not on her repertoire list for us. During the ceremony she executed perfectly on all of her cues which was important for us because there were special moments in which she would play certain songs and she made everything flow so naturally. Beyond that, Linda is just a warm and inviting person and that helps during what can be a stressful time.

Linda played non stop for over two hours and it was beautiful music.

Hello Annabelle- It was such a pleasure to work with you and I am so thankful that you chose my services for this very important day in the lives of your beautiful family. Sincerely, Linda
Linda is an amazing harpist. My guests enjoyed the relaxing music. Some thought we were listening to actual recorded music when they were surprised she was live. I would definitely use Linda again. I want to also add she arrived early to setup and was ready to entertain in time.
Response from Beautiful Harp Music:
Thank you for your kind words and for allowing me to take part in this very special day in the lives of your family and friends. Sincerely, Linda
Musician arrived in plenty of time to set up. We requested one hour of play and she gave us two hours (prior to lunch and during). We were so delighted that we gave her a lovely tip and a standing round of applause. Linda was an excellent choice for our December program.
Response from Beautiful Harp Music:
Dear Louis, I can't thank you enough for your kind review. It was an honor to play for you and the lovely ladies and I am so glad that your organization is thriving! It was such a pleasure meeting you and I wish you a peaceful and happy holiday season.
Wish I had booked her for longer.
Response from Beautiful Harp Music:
Hello Jennifer- Thank you for your review! What a beautiful setting and ceremony it was and I wish your daughter and her husband a lifetime of happiness.
A 5-star rating just isn't enough for this amazing individual. Linda was truly exceptional in terms of the quality of her communication (with both me and with facility staff where she performed), her complete self-sufficiency, her positive attitude, and her musical talents. She played at a memorial service we held for my father--and was even willing to travel quite a distance to get there--but what we valued most was her ability to get the venue, set up independently, perform, and provide musical comfort on an emotionally difficult day. Linda was a gift--and I know my father would have loved every minute of her performance.
Linda was so kind, attentive, and wonderful to have around. Beautiful music that melded perfectly with the ambiance of our intimate wedding. A fabulous experience overall from start to finished

Linda was absolutely wonderful from the beginning to the end. The hiring process was quick and easy her prices are affordable and her music selection was vast. She did an amazing job day off even with last-minute changes. I would recommend her services to anyone.

We had a very small intimate wedding in the beautiful gardens of a B&B in Ephrata PA and had the pleasure of hiring Beautiful Harp Music by Linda Umstead. She was so delightful to work with! Her Harp music added such an elegant touch to our outdoor Wedding! Her contract was very self explanatory and gave us options to the type and selections of music we wanted. She was prompt on her arrival and after the ceremony she moved onto the reception venue and played her harp as our guests entered for hors 'd ourves and played through out the cocktail hour. What a beautiful addition to our Wedding! We will never hesitate to recommend Beautiful Harp Music to anyone! Trust us! You will not be disappointed!
Linda was so friendly, easy to work with, and extremely gifted! It really pushed our cocktail hour over the edge!
Response from Beautiful Harp Music:
Hi Emily, Thank you so much for your kind review! I truly enjoyed working with you and am honored to have played a small part in your very special day. Feel free to keep in touch. All the best, Linda
Beautiful Harp Music was more than on time, and extremely professional. I highly recommend this person and will definitely utilize her again.
Linda Umstead provided the musical entertainment for our gala function to benefit the Ceramic Art & Culture Institute in Reading. Linda provided beautiful music throughout the event which was thoroughly enjoyed by our guests. She was courteous, punctual, and professional in every aspect of our dealings with her, and it was our great pleasure to work with Linda.
Response from Beautiful Harp Music:
Thank you so much for your review, April. It was a pleasure to provide music for this wonderful event and to meet you and your family. The Ceramic Art and Culture Institute is sure to have an important place in the Reading Area. I look forward to seeing you again!
Our secret garden wedding would have not been as wonderful without Linda. She was amazing. I would highly recommend Beautiful Harp Music and gigsalad.
Response from Beautiful Harp Music:
Kelly, thank you so much for your review. It was an honor to play for such a beautiful ceremony. I loved all the music that you requested!
Linda did a wonderful job playing at our wedding. She was on time, dressed professionally, and was so sweet and kind to everyone! She sent us a CD of some of her music ahead of time and helped me with song choices. I highly recommend her for musicianship, ease to work with, and professionalism.
