    Chanah is a GEM in the Wedding Industry!

    It's not often you come across a vendor who cares about your event as much as you do, but Chanah is truly that. From our first conversations hitting it off over our mutual love of cats, to her genuine interest in learning and understanding South Asian culture and music, and her absolute professionalism and expertise through it all, Chanah is an absolute gem. She helped me navigate through her very detailed portfolio of available songs and was able to honor nearly every request I had. She took on the song requests I had and played the more beautifully than I've ever heard. She made great professional recommendations around logistics for maximizing the harp experience the day of, and was extremely flexible during the actual event. She checked in at appropriate times in the weeks leading up to the event and all around made me always feel comfortable and confident in my decision to work with her. All these factors would have made her a 10/10 vendor, but then she went even further above and beyond. My fiance and I are South Asian and while I'd always dreamed of having a harpist for our event, I especially wanted to feature some of the special South Asian songs I grew up with. Chanah committed to one of my choosing among the list of options I'd sent her, but two days before our event she surprised me and let me know she'd perfected 4 more of the South Asian songs to the harp, in addition to even watching some of the movies they came from. I was actually in tears hearing this music played during our event in a more beautiful way than I ever had before. Chanah is extremely skilled as a harpist and is an incredibly genuine and kind human being. I would work with her over and over and could not recommend her enough! Chanah, I've said this to you before and will say it again - you were the best part of our day, THANK YOU!!

    Enchanting and magical

    My now-wife and I could not be more grateful for Chanah and her harp. Chanah added a ton of color to our ceremony and made it feel like we were living the best movie ever! She was so easy and fun to work with in the lead up (we really didn't have a great idea on what songs and styles to pick and she educated us) and put on such a beautiful performance. She's an incredible musician, professional, and person, and I would urge anyone looking for music for their ceremony or event to reach out to her. We couldn't be more grateful!

    Talented harpist, perfect addition to our wedding

    We had Chanah play during the cocktail hour of our garden wedding. She was very professional and her playing is wonderful. Guests loved her and even gave her requests, which she accomodated!

    Highly recommend, beautiful music and professional

    I can't say enough about Chanah's beautiful music. Made our son's wedding something very special. Everyone was talking about how lovely the music was. Professional, very responsive. I'd give her ten stars if I could. Highly recommend.

    Book Chanah!

    Chanah was amazing! Through the whole process, she was so kind, thoughtful, and talented. She has a massive repertoire and made suggestions based on what we liked; my husband (!) and I are self-professed nerds, so she played excerpts from Lord of the Rings, Skyrim, and all of that nerdy stuff as well as more traditional, classical music and it all sounded so beautiful.
    Our guests were blown away and so were we; she completely elevated the feel of our cocktail hour and set the tone for the evening. It was so classy and elegant to mingle with our guests with beautiful harp playing in the background. Chanah was absolutely perfect and her performance was easily my favorite detail of the day!

    Highly Recommend!

    We hired Chanah to play the harp during our wedding ceremony and for a cocktail hour along with a violinist (Florina Georgia). Chanah was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was always responsive and easy to talk to during video calls. My wife and I even had a vision for some songs for our ceremony and Chanah was able to arrange a couple of custom pieces. We highly recommend Chanah for your future event.

    Amazing Harpist!

    Chanah is such an amazing musician. Plus, she's very friendly, very helpful, and very motivated to make your special day even more memorable. My wife and I asked her to play a Yann Tiersen song, "Penn Ar Lann," when our fathers walked us down the aisle for our wedding. She played a beautiful rendition of the song and made our walks really special. We asked her to play classical music from her repertoire during cocktail hour and requested specific contemporary songs from her repertoire for dinner. Hearing "Montero" by Lil Nas X on the harp was a highlight!

    As a lesbian couple, it was important to us that our wedding vendors were LGBTQ+ affirming. Chanah was that and more. Thank you, Chanah!

    Perfection

    Chanah really helped to complete our perfect day. Her portfolio is fantastic. We had such a fun time selecting our songs.

    Chanah Ambuter, Michigan Harpist's reply:

    Thank you so much, Erin! It was a joy to play for you both! I'm so glad I was able to be part of your special day. Wishing you all the best!

    Cheers, Chanah

    Simply a dream to work with!

    Chanah is the perfect harpist to work with for any event. We had her for our wedding this past weekend, and she made our little backyard wedding feel like a dream! Chanah even went above and beyond when I had requested a collaboration with her and my brother, so he could play the violin when I walked down the aisle. Chanah pulled the arrangement, Cannon in D with a transition into How to Train Your Dragon (video on her YouTube channel), flawlessly in one rehearsal. Chanah arrived at our wedding looking so beautiful and elegant, and was even thoughtful enough to coordinate with our wedding coordinator so she matched our wedding theme (rose gold & pearls). Chanah was the very first vendor we booked for our wedding, and from her musicianship, professionalism, and energy, she was so amazing to work with. We really hope we can work with Chanah again in the future.

    She was one of the most easiest vendors to work with, and brought such an enchanting atmosphere to my reception.

    Very good price for such an elegant experience.
    If you are looking for a dreamy, enchanting, romantic feel and vibe to your wedding, Chanah and her harp are a must-have at your wedding. She’s great to work with, and easy communication back and forth. I’m so glad I was able to have her come out and play. Everything she did fit with my whole aesthetic of my wedding.

    Beautiful & Whimsical Wedding Experience

    Chanah was an amazing harpist and so fun to work. We talk about how she is our favorite vendor. She worked with us to cultivate a beautiful ceremony and whimsical cocktail hour. My husband's favorite part of the night was when she played the Pokemon Theme song (which she learned exclusively for our wedding!!). She also knew that we were unable to be present for her entire performance and was kind enough to record and send us her performance so that we can listen to it for years to come. If you would like a whimsical, elegant wedding ceremony and party, look no further than Chanah Ambuter.

    Hired the best harpist for my daughter's wedding!

    Chanah was a pleasure to work with from the very first email exchange. She worked with my daughter to create a unique musical experience for her wedding and incorporated all of her requests which made the day special. Chanah's music was beautiful for the ceremony and also made the cocktail reception much more fun and festive. I can not recommend her enough...you will be in very good hands!

    Thank You Chanah!

    Chanah was incredible!!! I wanted to walk down the aisle to Canon in D mixed with Love Story and she was able to arrange the perfect piece made just for me. I could not have dreamed of a better arrangement! We were able to FaceTime before our wedding to talk over all our song requests and preferences and decide the tone we wanted for her set. I am so grateful for all her hard work and know our guests loved hearing all the fun songs she played during cocktail hour! If I could give her ten stars I would, thank you Chanah for everything!

    Mother of the Bride

    Chanah Ambuter is an amazing harpist who performed at our daughter's wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on 8-8-21. She was flexible as we had to postpone our daughter's wedding for a full year due to covid. Ms. Ambuter played all of the selections that my daughter requested beautifully! Not only is she a true professional, but is such a kind soul. Our entire family highly recommends Chanah Ambuter to play her harp for any function.

    Chanah Ambuter, Michigan Harpist's reply:

    Hi Jackie!

    Oh my gosh, THANK YOU for the absolutely fabulous review. It was a joy and an honor to play for you all - you were lovely to work with, and I was delighted to help make Carly's day everything she'd dreamed!

    Cheers to you all!

    Chanah,
    You are so amazing. Thank you for creating such a lovely ambiance during the party. Everyone loved your skills first and foremost and the music and energy you provided set the party to the next level. We could not have asked for a better performance. I will always keep you in mind for the future.
    Thank you for everything. You are so sweet to also share the songs and some photos. Again thanks for everything and for fitting me in on such short notice. Appreciate you!

    Harpist Experience

    Chanah is absolutely incredible! I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding night which hiring a harpist made it more special. She was on time, had great communication leading up to our special day and my guests were so happy with the beautiful songs played by Chanah. I highly recommend hiring her for your next event.

    Amazing addition to our big day!

    Chanah was amazing from the beginning! Due to COVID, we had to reschedule our big day and have a small intimate ceremony in our backyard. Chanah was very flexible and worked with us making the whole process very easy. The music was incredible and made the ceremony so special and intimate! I would highly recommend and would love to use her again for any gathering in the future!

    Wonderful musician

    Chanah was perfect for our wedding. Not only is she an excellent musician, she is also easy to work with and makes the process easy at a time when you have a million details to work on.

    Chanah Ambuter, Michigan Harpist's reply:

    Thank you so much, Chuck! It was an honor and absolute fun to bring your fantastic, E.T/theatre themed wedding to life! It was obvious from the minute I began to work with you two that you were sincerely, profoundly, and unreservedly in love - and your ceremony and music choices reflected that. :-) I hope you two have been enjoying a magical "Happily Ever After!"

    Best Wedding Harpist!

    Chanah played the harp at our wedding ceremony and we could not have been happier with our decision. What drew me to booking Chanah was how good she is at playing modern music on the harp and making it sound amazing! From the beginning, she was easy to get a hold of and the booking process was flawless. She kept in touch throughout the year (we booked early) and reminded us when it was time to make our song choices. She keeps an extremely large collection of songs that she plays on the harp and makes it available to listen to online. She showed up perfectly on time to our wedding and our guests absolutely loved her music. We coordinated the songs and timing of songs and she executed it perfectly! I strongly recommend Chanah as your event harpist. You will not regret the decision!

    An Absolute Delight to Work With!

    I remember spending hours looking for the perfect musician for our ceremony and cocktail hour before I stumbled upon Chanah's information and I am so happy that I did! Chanah went above and beyond to make our day special. She was a breeze to work with and aided us in our decision making process as we weren't entirely sure what we were looking for. At our first meeting she played numerous examples of music for us to choose from and was patient with us as we made our decisions. On the wedding day, she was there on time to get setup and she played absolutely beautifully - I couldn't image walking down the aisle to anything else. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music during the ceremony and cocktail hour and we have Chanah to thank for that! In addition to the wedding day, Chanah even sent us a wedding gift - recordings of the songs she played for us on our wedding day so now we'll have that to listen to whenever we want a reminisce about our day. It was clear from our experience with Chanah that she absolutely loves what she does and puts everything into the weddings that she plays for, I would recommend her to anyone looking for an extra special touch added to their day.
