Joanna’s playing was an absolute perfect addition to our wedding! If you need a harpist or have considered adding music to your event, do yourself a favor and hire Joanna. She is a professional, prompt, replies to all questions quickly and her playing is sublime.
Highly, highly recommend!
Response from Joanna Seiber:
Nate, you are far too kind. It was such a beautiful day and I truly enjoyed it. My husband and I wish you both all the best in the years to come!
Joanna provided music for a wedding I was coordinating. She was clear with communication, easy to work with, punctual, and pleasant. Her musicianship was very fine, and everything about the experience was pleasurable. Would eagerly hire her again for any harp parts needed.
