Carly Nelson provides elegant music for your wedding or special event. Whether you like more traditional or modern pop music, Ms. Nelson has no problem with mixing standards with new arrangements.
While Ms. Nelson loves performing at weddings, you can also find her performing with various groups and ensembles around Chicago and Michigan. She received her Bachelor's of Music from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, her Master's in Harp Performance from the Rice University Shepherd School of Music and a Specialist Degree in Harp Performance from the University of Michigan.
I let Carly know the type of music that the seniors at our retirement community enjoyed and she did a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend her. Don’t be fooled by her reasonable prices, she is top-notch!
