We had an absolutely wonderful time listening to her play. She is extremely professional, courteous, and amazing at what she does. My residents loved the music, the ambiance, and the whole evening, and have requested move visits. Thank you for everything.

Thank you Steve for having me! I loved playing for the residents!
Chiara arrived ahead of schedule with plenty of time to set up. She was dressed beautifully for the occasion and came with all of the set up items she needed.
She played for 2 hours during a Mother's Day Brunch for 65 people. The music choices she chose were perfect. I never would have thought of asking to play current music in harp format. Just subtle enough to recognize it but not be overpowering for the event. So many compliments that she really leveled up the event and it was so special to have her there. Thank you Chiara!!
Chiara was amazing! So talented, kind, personable and punctual! She was very easy to communicate with leading up to the event and can play anything from classical to pop and everything in between. I would give 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend Chiara Solar for your next event!!!

Chiara chose the perfect music for our Mother’s celebration of life. We asked for “happier” music versus sad. She came through professionally in several ways: it was raining and she was on time, she was organized and ready to go, and most importantly her performance was top notch. Thank you so much Chiara!
Chiara played an amazing performance! Her poise and artistic talent filled the room with the perfect atmosphere at my daughter’s 15th Tea Party Birthday celebration. We are so thankful she made our event so special and memorable. Thank you Chiara!

Chiara was wonderful! She played for over 2 hours straight on NYE. It was fantastic. She arrived early and started playing as soon as guests arrived. I could not have asked for more. Both Chiara (wearing a gown) and her harp are very impressive. We and our guests loved having a harp for background music. Just perfect! She has my highest recommendation!
We hired Chiara for our wedding ceremony 2 days ago, and it was amazing ! She worked with us to play our song requests, and everyone loved it ! She was punctual, professional, and played so well.

Thank you so much! Your wedding ceremony was beautiful and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it. Congratulations!
I recently worked with Chiara for a corporate event in Anaheim. She was professional, efficient and played beautifully. She also brought and set up all her own equipment and was a joy to work with and a pleasure to talk to. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a harpist and will use her in future.

When I contacted Chiara our initial talks were great. We agreed upon music and price and I felt like we were all set. On my wedding day she contacted my sister in law and informed her she was running late and would be there to set up at 4:30pm and play by 4:45pm. The contract we agreed to was that she would setup at 4:00pm and start playing at 4:30pm. Our wedding started at 5:00pm. Our coordinator kept reaching out to her to get an ETA and she ended up rolling in at 4:45pm and playing just at 5:00pm. She was so late that her harp didn't sound tuned and the notes to the songs were off. She played for all of 30 minutes and I paid $300 for what was suppose to be 1hr-1.25 hrs of playing. I was really disappointed and the processional of my wedding cannot be redone. She never apologized or reached out to refund a portion of the money since we did not get what was agreed to in the contract. She seems like a nice person but we did not get the service we agreed upon.
Harpist
Response from Chiara Solar Harpist:
I'm sorry that due to circumstances beyond my control, I was so late. This is my livelihood and I take it very seriously. I generally don't contact the bride the day of the wedding. If I had the number of the coordinator I would have contacted her. Of course I wanted to help make your special day perfect and I did the best I could. If I were on time, none of these issues would have arose. Again, I'm sorry, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Chiara provided a great experience from start to finish. Communication was great and when one of requested songs was not in her music set she took the time to find and learn it in time for the event! Highly recommended.

I must say Chiara was very accommodating, she found the music my daughter in law requested which make her very happy. She was at the venue when promised. The problem we had , is that we could not hear the music, which was very disappointing. Unfortunately this was a one time event . And cannot be corrected.
Harpist
Response from Chiara Solar Harpist:
I enjoyed learning the new music for this wedding and being part of the special day. I'm sorry you couldn't hear me, I wasn't miked. Usually the venues provide microphones, I was under that impression. I'm sorry, that's my fault, I should have double checked beforehand.
Chiara was very accommodating, learned new songs upon my request, excellent harpist, beautiful, pleasant, and just overall amazing. I would use her again for sure. I had a wedding, changed the location, she was on time, and great. Loved her!!!!!! If you are in need choose no-one else.

Even though this event was not a happy one, we did not want it t be full of sadness. It was important that guests entered into the right atmosphere. Mrs. Turner's harp music provided a peaceful and comforting
atmosphere that really set the tone. She was absolutely wonderful! The song arrangements were most appropriate. We were very impressed and if another occasion presents itself we will certainly invite her to come again.

We were so fortunate to have Chiara at our wedding. She was highly professional and accommodating when the ceremony started late. Her knowledge of music was proven to be an exceptional attribute to our ceremony by learning two new songs just weeks before. She was smooth and kept on point for every detail of the ceremony. Thank you Chiara for making our big day so very special.

Chiara was fantastic at our cocktail hour hosted at Pelican Hill Resort. She was on time, professional and played the most beautiful music on her stunning harp. I would highly recommend her for any of your events. Thank you Chiara!

Chiara did an amazing job at my wedding! The music was romantic and set the tone of the event perfectly. We were married under the arbor in the Cal State Fullerton Arboretum. I would highly recommend her talent for a romantic type wedding or any wedding. I did not get a chance to speak to her on the day of the event but she did an amazing job of setting herself up and all my guests were so pleased. Before the event she was professional and quick to answer any of my questions. I would love to work with her again!

Chiara was great! She kept in communication throughout the whole planning process. She allowed us to customize the songs that we chose for our vow renewal. And she also played for our cocktail hour and our dinner! I would definitely recommend her!
