The music fit [or created ]the perfect mood and setting.The bride and groom were very glad I suggested Susanna. Everyone loved her beautiful music and were amazed at how perfect the harp music was for that special day.
On a more personal level, I was so happy to have contributed to the planning of their event in helping to select the beautiful harp for the wedding ceremony. I listened to Susanna’s beautiful video home concert and recognized her artistry and versatility, and knew she was the perfect choice.

Thank you so much for your beautiful review, Jeanette! I enjoyed playing for Thomas and Helene's wedding, and all your guests were incredibly kind and hospitable as well. It was a pleasure to be part of this special day, and I'm glad everyone enjoyed the music. :)
Beautiful and heavenly music!
Susanna played the harp for my mothers funeral, and came with very little notice. She played for our family special time, and for the hour before the funeral. Susanna is most professional, and played nonstop classical, hymns, and a list of songs that I gave her as well. Everyone was so impressed, as they walked past the harpist on their way in, and felt so special at the celebration of life service.
This is our second time to have Susanna come play music for our family in the last four months. We will be asking her again for future gatherings. She is awesome!
Response from Susanna Wang, Harpist:
Thank you for your kind review, Stacy! I'm glad the music was enjoyed by all and hope it provided a bit of peace and comfort.
Very professional and prompt. Susanna really made our event special!

Susanna Wang is a passionate and experienced music educator and performer based in Houston, Texas. Recent highlights include a trio performance entitled "Celestial Wanderings" at Archway Gallery and an appearance as the wedding ceremony harpist on Netflix's Love Is Blind Season 5. She is a founding member of AURORA – a harp, flute, and cello ensemble embracing classical repertoire while championing contemporary music by emerging composers. Previously, she performed with Shoso Duo – a shakuhachi and harp ensemble merging western and eastern cultures and music – and The New Houston Harp Ensemble.
Susanna served as principal harpist with the Central Texas Philharmonic from 2016 to 2021 and also plays on occasion with the Symphony of Southeast Texas. In addition to performing, she maintains a private harp studio and takes great delight in training and mentoring young musicians. Susanna also teaches music classes at Lone Star College, is adjunct harp faculty at Sam Houston State University, is on faculty at the Houston Summer Harp Festival, and music directs at King's Cross Church.
For Susanna, music is a medium for self-expression, a means of bringing beauty into the world, and a way to connect with other people. This is why she enjoys performing concerts, teaching, and playing for weddings and special events. Her work as a freelance musician has taken her to all kinds of places to meet all kinds of people. She has been to stylish venues such as the Petroleum Club and St. Regis Hotel as well as relaxed spaces like a barn in Fayetteville and Eastern Glades Park. Susanna is available to play for church services, weddings, receptions, corporate parties, graduations, funerals, or musical productions. It is her delight to perfectly complement the atmosphere of your event and to meet your personal tastes with a specially tailored assortment of music.
Susanna was a winner of the Concerto/Aria Competition at Stephen F. Austin State University in 2013, a 1st place winner of the Mildred Milligan Harp Competition in 2010, winner of the Jan Pennington Gray Harp Scholarship in 2008, first chair harpist for the All-State Symphony Orchestra in 2007, and winner of the Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra’s Young Artist Concerto Competition in 2005. She received a Master's in Harp Performance from Stephen F. Austin State University where she studied with Ms. Emily Mitchell.
This depends on the venue. Most venues for weddings and smaller parties do not require any amplification. Larger reception venues, concert halls, and churches will require the harp to be amplified with a mic. Alternately, I have a piezo pickup with a 1/4 inch plug that can connect directly to the sound system.
