Evelyn was perfect. She was timely, professional, and had a very sweet personality. The music Evelyn played was AMAZING! I will definitely hire her again and again.
Response from Evelyn Nguyen - Harpist:
Thank you for the review, Yvette! You’re a great event coordinator; hope to collaborate with you again soon!
Evelyn’s performance was nothing short of excellent. Her skillful mastery of the instrument added an elegant touch to the atmosphere, making her perfect for our tea party. She offered a diverse selection of songs catering to a variety of tastes, and was extremely professional.
Response from Evelyn Nguyen - Harpist:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Phyllis! It’s a joy to work with you. The tea party was fantastic!
Evelyn provided the background music to Christmas party dinner for about 130 people. Her performance and music selection was just perfect for the occasion. She is extremely professional and approachable. I would highly recommend Evelyn to others looking for a harpist!

When you book me for an event, you can expect respect and understanding first and foremost. I will dress appropriately for the event either in accordance with the dress code or by wearing all black (if no dress code is specified).
I bring my own music stand, harp, music, light (for darker settings), and chair (unless you would like me to use a different one).
At this point in time, I do not have my own mic and amplification equipment. Whether those things are necessary depends on the size of the venue. Speakers are strongly recommended for outdoor events!
I will arrive thirty minutes early to set up and tune properly before the event. I can arrive as early as you need me to.
I can arrange music per request ($8 per request). For music not on my list, please give me 3 month's notice of the song selection for the best results.
My name is Evelyn Nguyen, I have studied harp for almost 6 years and I love it! I am used to arranging on a case-by-case basis. I am classically trained and have studied harp with Katie Kulp, Grace Bauson, and Zoe Coppola.
I started with a piano background when I was 6 years old and began studying harp in June 2019.
I have played in several chamber groups and trios as well as orchestras and have accompanied solo performances.
I play a Dusty Strings Ravenna-34 Lever harp. This can impact song selection, but I am very good at arranging music to fit my harp's capabilities.
I can play anywhere there is flat, even ground. I need a 6 x 9 ft for the performance area. For outdoor performances, please ensure that I will not be playing on grass as my harp will get stuck in the dirt. I will bring my music stand.
I don't always need sound equipment, it truly depends on the size of the venue and the acoustics.
I am quite flexible. If you are looking for a performance on a day when my calendar says unavailable, please message me. My calendar depicts general availability.

I can learn songs upon request! If there is sheet music, the price of the sheet music is added to the total cost. If I need to arrange a song, it's $8 per arrangement. There is no upcharge if you need a song shortened and lengthened. I can easily match the atmosphere of the event and put together a set for a desired feeling.
I have been inspired by Grace Bauson (harpist based in Maryland), Jacqueline Poullaf (harpist based in Baltimore, Maryland), and TwoSetViolin.
My biggest influences have been my music teachers, Grace Bauson, Katie Kulp, Liane Houchins, and Elaine Ramos. I have learned so much from these ladies who have dedicated so much time to perfecting their craft. The best thing they instilled in me is to play well for the glory of God.
