Lydia played beautifully at our wedding! We loved having her there.
Lydia was a last minute addition to my 50th birthday celebration when our other musician cancelled. She showed up on time was very affordable and played exceptionally well. My guests loved her and I will certainly use her services again.
Ms. Haywood, was professional, reasonably priced, and very talented. She was prepared, arrived on time, all the guest inquired about her services. I am so happy, we picked her, her music was extremely beautiful. We will hire her to play beautiful music again. She has an amazing personality as well. She honored my late mother, for that I am grateful.
Our usual harpist was unavailable so we went with Lydia, she was fantastic, considering all of the commotion.
Lydia was great to work with! She made our daughter’s wedding very special!
Lydia is by far the best Harpist in Columbus. Very professional and versatile. I would definitely book again.
Lydia's music made the event special. She was very professional and punctual. This allowed me to relax and enjoy the service. Exceeded expectations.
Only thing I can think to mention, is the wedding march as the bride came down the aisle could have been louder. Not sure with just a harp, if that is even possible.
Thank you so very much!
We are pleased that Lydia participated in the celebration of Highlands Presbyterian Church Scottish Heritage event on 12/1/13. The Celtic Harp was a fluid and eloquent contrast to the bagpipes which also participated. Lydia performed traditional Scottish melodies with style, precision and grace. We highly recommend her.
Lydia Hayward was not only courteous, professional and easy to work with but she also provided a wonderful element to our special event. The atmosphere was greatly enhanced by her beautiful music. It was uplifting and really set the mood for a great evening.
Senior Center Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
Hilliard, Ohio
We recently had Lydia play for our church service. She played gathering music, offertory, special solo, and music during communion. She was gracious, extremely gifted, and sensitive to the worship environment. Her selections were perfect. We received many, many compliments about her playing (and I think she sold several CD's!). We look forward to having her return again in the future!
I was very impressed by the harpist. Very nice Christmas program price was
reasonable and just a true professional.
Thank you,
Saint Paris Lions Club
We had Lydia play her harp at our wedding ceremony outside in hocking hills, Ohio. Her music was very good and created the atmosphere we were hoping for.
Thanks!
Chris and Alina
Lydia's music is beautiful, and she is absolutely a pleasure to work with--very accommodating and professional. I heartily would recommend her for any wedding (or other occasion). She made our daughter's wedding ceremony very special.
