Best Harp Music, from classical to jazz, solo or in ensembles.
My Mom and family enjoyed every sound she played!
My Mom still talking about Harp From Heaven!
She’s easy to communicate with, came ready and provided the exact vibe that we were looking for. She’s a very experienced harpist, and I would definitely hire her again for our future events!
We had an awesome experience working with Harp from Heaven. She was extremely professional and was exactly and as expected. Couldn’t have asked for anything better!
She was wonderful!
The harpist set the atmosphere. The music was heavenly. I was told that my event is the talk of the town. She did a great job. Will hire her again
The harpist filled the room with heavenly sound and hope. She was fantastic and added a touch of class to our Appreciation Dinner. She arrived early and allowed time for preparation. She was engaging and very friendly. The harp set the tone for such a special occasion and all the honorees were in awe as they sat and listened intently; then the room filled with applause as the harpist displayed her skills. Choosing a harpist to perform at our event was different but worth it. I wish I had booked her for more than two and a half hours. I highly recommend her service and plan to use her in the future.
Harp from heaven is a must for any brunch, tea, luncheon, bridal shower, etc. The selection of music was appropriate for our event. I will definitely use her again
Iraida played the harp for our elite conference of meeting planners and they loved her! She was so professional to work with and her beautiful music really made a wonderful atmosphere for our attendees. I can't wait to hire her again to play our next event.
It was a pleasure to work with Iraida with Harp from Heaven. From my first contact with her through Gigsalad, she responded quickly and professionally to all my inquiries. It was an honor to have her play for a house party for about forty guests to celebrate a silver wedding anniversary. One of the highlights of the evening was when Iraida played a requested folk song while my wife performed solo the traditional choreography associated with the melody—a gentle song of love. Twenty-five years earlier, my wife had danced the same dance as a bride, a gift to me, her bridegroom. We will long remember that moment, which Iraida made possible. Anyone who is considering hiring a harpist for a special occasion, should not hesitate to retain Harp from Heaven. Iraida is not only an accomplished musician, but she is also a reliable professional who elevates a social occasion with the gift of her music at a reasonable cost.
Thank you for a seamless experience with only one week’s notice.
Everyone loved her harp playing. Made the event so special. Would definitely hire her again.
Harp from heaven was great! Responsive and communicative before hand and a wonderful addition to our birthday party. Highly recommended!
She did excellent job, my ceremony was amazing because of her music. Thanks
Raida was very responsive to our music selection requests, flexible to our Program and made great recommendations and additions to it.
Her music was flawless and her professionalism in being on time, set up and totally self sufficient was commendable.
I strongly recommend Raida and would reach out to her again for another event.
Iraida was amazing. She was so professional. The music was perfect. My daughter had only picked out three songs for her wedding ceremony. She left the rest up to Iraida and the selections were perfect. I did not realize it, but she let me know she would stay and play for an hour at our cocktail party. It was a beautiful surprise for us and our guests. Again, she read the crowd well and played extraordinarily well. She added such a touch of class to our event.
She was also great about touching base and checking in with me over the last year, since we changed our date three times due to COVID. Iraida is a lovely, talented woman and I am sure we will have her back to other events in the future.
What a privilege it was to hear such a breathtaking performance by such a talented and amazing Harpist. Iraida is a delight to work with as she is very professional, courteous, and punctual. Her choice of music was perfect for the occasion and I hope she is available next year:)
We had Iraida play at our wedding and it was beautiful!
Pre-planning was very easy, she even played us samples of potential pieces over the phone, to help us decide.
She arrived at the wedding location early, was very well dressed and professional!
Highly recommended!
This is my second time booking Iraida and I couldn't be more pleased. She has a friendly and accommodating attitude, and is a real professional. The music itself is gorgeous-- I asked for dreamy, romantic classical music for my event and was not disappointed. I highly recommend booking Harp from Heaven!
I booked Harp from Heaven for a large party in Baltimore and she was perfect. All my guests loved the dreamy classical harp music. She was attentive and punctual, and communicating with her and arranging the booking details was easy. I would gladly book her again!
Iraida was aboslutely wonderful. The music she played was heavenly and perfect. She was so polite and wonderful to work it. We will defintely be having her back!
I hired Iraida for my wedding ceremony and reception in Alexandria. She was a wonderful addition to my wedding. Everyone commented how lovely her music was. She is very friendly, personable, professional and talented. I will certainly be using her talent again and will always highly recommend her. Do yourself a favor, you need to hear her play to fully appreciate how talented she is.
