    Nadia Pessoa is and extraordinarily talented Master HARPIST. Kind & Very Professional

    Nadia Pessoa is INCREDIBLE! She is insanely talented, humble, affable, hard-working and considerate. She is the consummate professional, and will work to make your big day a memorable one. She is a genius harpist. Nadia's rates were very reasonable.

    My wife and I enjoyed her performance immensely! She was absolutely amazing. Her collaboration with our reverend was pure genius. We found it particularly moving.

    Our guests cannot stop raving about her. Our parents were totally thrilled by her performance! My grandmother commented that she was not aware that music emanating from a harp could be so beautiful, powerful, and vibrant. We only wish that we could have remained in 'the chapel' for more of her performance. We were quickly whisked away (by design) following the ceremony, so as to maximize our time with the photographer, while most our guests remained in our makeshift chapel, and were treated to her full performance!

    Nadia made our wedding ceremony a wonderful and memorable event. We cannot say enough good things about her, or recommend her more highly! Working with her was an absolute delight. We would love to collaborate with her again, in the very near future!

    Sincerely,

    Brett & Hannah Latham

    Excellent!

    Planning a wedding is difficult. Nadia was one of my favorite vendors to work with. It was quite simple really. She responded to emails in a timely manner, she was professional, she offered thoughtful suggestions based on my tastes, and on the day of the wedding, she did exactly what I asked her to do. Not to mention, she is talented and plays the harp beautifully. At the end of the cocktail hour, I hadn't had time to make my way over to her, but she approached me gracefully and tactfully right before the reception to thank me for having her and I really appreciated getting a chance to speak to her. Nadia's a gem, and I definitely recommend her.

    110% would recommend!

    I truly doubt you will find a better harpist for your wedding. Not only is her playing artful and beautiful, but Nadia is amazing to work with. While I knew the vibe I wanted for live music, I was lost on some of the more precise details - Nadia keyed right into what I wanted and gave me thoughtful options for each part of ceremony that helped me narrow in on exactly what my husband and I were looking for. Collaborating with her was a dream: some vendors would stomp all over my ideas, or try to tell me what I wanted instead of listening, but Nadia worked with me by advising me with her experience and addressing my concerns with respect. The musical choices that we made together really polished the ceremony and enhanced the mood incredibly. I would highly recommend Nadia!

    Nadia was amazing to work with. She has a huge repertoire from classical to contemporary/pop. Our guests raved about her. She was excellent with communication. She also was a champ for playing in the blazing sun. Highly recommend!

    Nadia was the perfect musical accompaniment for our spring wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Nadia was incredibly professional and easy to work with in the months planning the wedding. She gave us a vast list of songs to choose from for before, during, and after the ceremony as well as the cocktail hour. She also helped us narrow down our style for music and ways to get in our favorite songs. Nadia knew the perfect mix of traditional and modern songs to make our wedding personal but classic. She was easily adaptable to last minute changes and I knew I didn't have to worry about a thing day-of. Everyone loved having the harp music and it really set the perfect tone for our wedding.

    Nadia is a fantastic harpist. We were lucky to have discovered her and she was available for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on 10/10/15. Her music is classy and sophisticated and I loved that she had a lengthy list of diverse songs to choose from. I would highly recommend Nadia for any function one may have.

    We used Nadia for our wedding last weekend. She was wonderful to work with! Very responsive and provided us a music list for the ceremony. She was a beautiful addition to our outdoor ceremony and music sounded better than I imagined. She was very reasonable in price and I wouldn't change anything about it!

    Nadia Pessoa's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Jennifer! It was a pleasure playing for you and Joe and your guests at Springfield Manor, and you were wonderful to work with! — Best wishes, Nadia

    Nadia did the ceremony music for our wedding, accompanied by a cellist (Hrant). She was a pleasure to work with, and the music was definitely one of the highlights of the wedding. She worked with us before the wedding to help us select songs for the different parts of the ceremony, providing samples of songs she had previously played. There was one song that we really wanted played at our ceremony that wasn't in her repertoire. She and the cellist came up with an arrangement for it and it was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out, and Nadia was so helpful, warm, and responsive throughout the process. I'm so glad she and Hrant were a part of our wedding!

    Nadia was an absolute dream to work with. In my experience, her enthusiasm, accommodation, professionalism, and exceptional talent are unparalleled. Of particular note, I was truly touched that Nadia *created* arrangements for selections that were meaningful to my family, but not on her standard list nor traditionally arranged for the harp and violin. From a practical perspective, Nadia was extremely easy to work with; prompt, knowledgeable, and kind. Although the music was very important to me (and my mother), I never stressed out about it because Nadia was at the helm.

    If my husband and I were to "do it all over again", Nadia would be our first hire!

    Nadia was fantastic throughout the entire planning period and especially the day of the wedding. She is a top notch musician and handled our special requests like a charm. She was especially excited to learn we are musicians and truly delivered a remarkable performance!

    Nadia's harp playing was one of the highlights of our wedding. People couldn't stop talking about how classy it was.

    She is a world-class musician who will instantly upgrade any event. She was a dream to work with, helping us develop our setlist and even learning new songs just for us.

    Nadia's musical talent is matched by her professionalism. She is extremely fast with communication and her breadth of experience allows her to cater to any musical style.

    100% recommended.

    Nadia Pessoa's reply:

    Thank you so much, Alexander! It was a pleasure working with you and Rachael on your wedding at Bluemont. Thank you for choosing such great music, and for being so awesome to work with!

    An amazing musician! I interviewed a bunch of people (harpist and violinist) to hire for my Wedding! Nadia was hands down a clear winner and she surely did not disappoint as her talent is amazing! On top of that she also helped me find an equally talented violinist; thus, saved me some time to research and coordinate (as she took care if that)- next anniversary or big party I will def. hire Nadia again!!!

    Nadia played beautifully for my outdoor wedding. I'm a music teacher and had lots of musician friends as guests. Music was really important to me! Her selections for the prelude were perfect. She accompanied a choral ensemble, played a duet with my cellist daughter, as well as the traditional wedding march. I highly recommend Nadia for your wedding.

    Nadia stepped in at the last moment. She made me feel like she had been with me the whole time. She answered all my emails quickly, and was easy to talk to on the phone. She went ahead of time to the site to check it out and make sure everything would be ok. She played beautiful music and even accompanied my cousin as she sang. I would highly recommend Nadia.

    Nadia played the harp at my wedding with Megan, who played flute. They were incredibly professional and accommodating. I wanted non-traditional music and they worked with me to pick songs that were fitting for the occasion. Nadia and Megan played beautiful versions of the Final Fantasy theme song for our processional, the Princess Bride wedding song for my walk down the aisle, and the Game of Thrones theme song for our recessional. The music sounded amazing and elegant and all of our guests loved it.

    Nadia is not only an absolutely fantastic musician and harpist, but she is also a complete professional and genuinely nice person. I hired Nadia to perform with a string quartet for my ceremony, and she was very responsive and willing to work with the other musicians I had hired. I was able to email her the custom musical arrangements that were done for the ceremony, and she arrived completely prepared the day of the wedding. Her performance was perfect, and it added so much to the ceremony to have Nadia and the other musicians performing live. I cannot recommend Nadia highly enough, no matter what kind of wedding you are having, her lovely harp playing will add a level of elegance you won't be able to find anywhere else!

    Nadia Pessoa's reply:

    Thank you so much for the fabulous review, Tim, and for inviting me to be a part of your special day! It was a pleasure working with the Sage String Quartet and performing for your family and friends at Hotel Palomar. I loved that you picked non-traditional music - it was a beautiful ceremony!

    We thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony music provided by Nadia. She is an incredible musician who impressed everyone at our wedding. She allowed us to select music from a diverse selection of songs... i.e. classical, modern, songs from movie soundtracks, etc. She definitely made our ceremony romantic and memorable. Would we recommend her to others? ABSOLUTELY!!!
