Response from Emily Duncan - Harpist:
Thank you SO much for having me! It was a beautiful ceremony and I am so glad to have been a part of it.
Emily was fabulous! She played during both our ceremony and reception and our guests thoroughly enjoyed her repertoire. She was professional, classy and an absolute pleasure to work with! Would highly recommend her for any event you would like to add an elegant or classic feel to. We were very pleased!
Ms. Carpenter played beautifully and was very professional. Our crowd absolutely loved her and we would be happy to have her back.
Emily was perfect for our intimate wedding! She plays beautifully and is very kind. You won’t regret booking her!
Emily provided the amazing music for our intimate wedding. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. She was outstanding and added just the right romantic charm, something everyone will remember. She was prompt, flexible, and a pleasure to work with. The whole process from start to finish was professional and easy. She even learned a new song for our recessional, and was happy to do it! She plays the harp with such grace and just watching her is delightful. A beautiful memory. I'd highly recommend Emily for any event.

I fell in love with the harp when I was eight years old. I remember asking my parents for the instrument for Christmas one year, and it was the best gift I have ever received. Here I am, over fifteen years later, having had the honor and delight of performing in hundreds of weddings, parties, and other events. I enjoy every second of my time spent performing and providing the lovely embrace that the harp brings!
If the event is outdoors, I will need protection from direct sunlight.
