I had the pleasure of having Eleanora perform at my birthday party, and it was an absolutely enchanting experience. Eleanora played a variety of pieces, including classical music and some contemporary songs. Every piece was performed beautifully. Eleanora was also personable and easy to work with. She scheduled a call with me to discuss the event in the weeks leading up to it and this ensured that everything ran smoothly the day of. Overall, having Eleanora play at my birthday party was an absolute highlight of the event. She added such a special touch to the celebration, and I know that my guests and I will never forget the experience.Thank you for making my birthday party so special!

Thank you, Brandace! I particularly enjoyed playing for you and Mateus, since you were so easy to work with and enthusiastic of my music! It was a pleasure to accomodate your song selection and a joy to play at your marvelous location!
Thanks for your kind words.
I wish you and Mateus a life together full of love !
Eleonora was incredible to work with and her music was absolutely perfect for our wedding. When planning, she was incredibly organized. She reached out to us with everything she needed from us at just the right moments. It made planning a breeze. She also accommodated special requests and got her harp a mile deep into the SF Botanical Gardens, across wood ships and dirt paths. She went truly above and beyond!
Her music was also perfect for our special day. My mother called it “serene,” and she was absolutely right. It struck all the right cords at all the right moments, and I can’t imagine a better sonic backdrop for our wedding and reception! Thank you!!!!

We are glad to have Eleonora Pellegrini as the fantastic harpist for our wedding on September 16th, a 60-guest event, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Over the course of an hour, she performed 6-8 carefully selected songs that perfectly set the tone for our special day. The music created a beautiful atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. Thank you for adding such an elegant touch to our celebration! Highly recommend.

Dear Meriah, thanks from the bottom of my heart for your words! It has been a true pleasure for me to play at your wonderful wedding at The Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay. So many of your guests complimented me on the contemporary songs as well as some traditional Persian melodies played on the harp. My best wishes to you and Pejmon in your new adventure!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Eleonora for my wedding ceremony at SF City Hall on 9/19/24. From our initial communication, she was incredibly professional and responsive, helping to tailor the music selection to fit our theme. On the day of the event, her performance created an enchanting atmosphere that delighted our guests. I received numerous compliments on the music. My husband and I have highly recommend her for any event; she is a true talent and a joy to work with!

Thanks for much Elizabeth and Coleby! Congratulations to the both of you and hope you have an amazing honeymoon!
We had the pleasure of having Eleonora perform at our wedding ceremony and she truly made our wedding even more enchanting! From the moment we heard her play at our venue’s showcase, our dream was to have her play at our wedding, and we were fortunate of having that dream come true!
Once booked, Eleonora provided so much information on the ceremony structure and what was expected. She was extremely responsive and professional throughout our time working together. Her song playlist was diverse and even accommodated a song that was not presented on the original song list.
As I walked down the aisle, Eleonora’s beautiful melodies made me feel like such a beautiful bride. Many of our guests commented on how lovely the harpist was and how it added a unique touch to the ceremony.
Eleonora exceeded our expectations, and we are so grateful for her contribution to our special day. Thank you for making our wedding magical!

Response from Eleonora Pellegrini, Harpist:
Thanks Adrian! Your wedding was definitely the most creative I saw and it was a true joy for me to be part of it.
I found Eleonora through GigSalad and was pleasantly surprised that she was available on my wedding date.
I was looking for a harpist that could play modern and traditional wedding/ love songs. I wanted to have music play as guests arrived at the ceremony, during the ceremony and during cocktail hour. The music added a special touch to the classic romantic spring vibe that I was seeking.
There were some minor delays with waiting for the guests to be seated so that the ceremony could start on time. I'm thinking there was some miscommunication with the ques from DJ & wedding coordinator & harpist, I was expecting my bridal party to walk down to the song "My Girl", but a different song was being played which through me off a little.
Eleonora was able to accommodate my requests for playing "Grow Old With You" as I walked down the aisle, and once I recognized my song, I let them know that was my turn to walk down.
The song captured all the emotions I was feeling in that moment, and it was perfect! During my husband's vows he actually sang part of the song too! (I ugly cried with tears of joy) Once we were announced husband & wife and walked out with the bridal party, I believe that's when "My Girl" was being played.
In all I would say the day was perfectly imperfect, and still with some minor hiccups here and there -my husband and I were still pleased with how our wedding turned out. I would recommend Eleonora for any special event. Her music really elevated the ceremony and made it more special to be able to share those specific songs with our friends and family.

Having Eleonora/Harpist at our Baby Shower was extremely amazing! She was professional, friendly, pleasant and very well organized. We really enjoyed the music. I highly recommend Eleonora!
