    The most beautiful ceremony music!

    Esther was amazing! She played so beautifully and the harp added the most special energy to our Oceanside ceremony. Everyone loved it!

    Wedding music

    Esther and her team of musicians were amazing. Professional and easy to work with throughout the whole process. We had a great experience and appreciate all of the hard work that went into the whole wedding weekend music.

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    Thank you so much, Merel! It was indeed a privilege to perform for your daughter's beautiful wedding rehearsal dinner at Mar-a-Lago and then for the stunning wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at Trump International. It was fantastic to work closely with you to make your daughter's dreams come true. All the best you all of you.

    She was a delight! Absolutely stunning!

    Esther played the harp during my wedding ceremony this past October 2023. The way she plays is so angelic and beautiful. Everyone at my wedding felt as though they walked into a Hollywood movie. She was a dream and a perfect aspect to my wedding. I highly recommend Esther as your musician during your ceremony. She also has an amazing husband who is a pastor/reverend and officiates weddings. They are so professional and a perfect duo! Highly recommend!

    Elegant and beautiful

    We are so grateful to have had the privilege to work with Esther Underhay, harpist. We hired the trio of flute, cello and harp for our wedding and it was the perfect addition to our wedding ceremony! I also met personally with Esther and she was very detail-oriented and wanted to make sure to personalize the musical selection to our vision. Thank you for everything!

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kathryn! The St. John Bosco Catholic Church was such a perfect setting for your absolutely beautiful wedding before God and your family and friends. I was in awe of it. Thank you for the privilege of being a part of it. All the best to you both!

    Fantastic & Elegant

    Such a beautiful and elegant touch to our garden party wedding! We had our wedding at the beautiful Boldt Castle in July 2023. Very reasonably priced and professional experience with an extensive selection of songs.

    Book them!

    I had a destination wedding at the Boldt Castle in Alexandria Bay, NY. I live in Arkansas and communication was great with the company. It was very easy to setup the services long distance and they made everything hassle free! It’s also a steal and reasonably priced. They’re very talented and the music is beautiful!

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    Thanks so much, Hannah! I'm so glad that you were pleased with Shannon. I love to have Shannon "sub" for me when I am not able to be in the 1000 Islands region at the time of brides' weddings since I am only there between mid-June to mid-September. In this case I had to be at my eldest grandson's high school graduation. All the best to you both!

    Played the Harp at Wedding

    Esther played at our wedding. She is very talented and played beautifully, which added to the wedding. I loved that she has a variety of songs to choose from. Prior to my wedding she was extremely helpful with the planning aspect, and was willing to play and do what I wanted. Esther was always available to help me with anything I needed, which then helped make her part to my wedding easy. I recommend her.

    Impeccable

    Esther and her team played at our wedding ceremony. She was so sweet, personal, accessible, accommodating, and most importantly, professional! She has a plethora of all kinds of songs to choose from, and is happy to learn songs as well. She made our ceremony magical and stunning. Thank you for everything!!!

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    India, it was such a privilege to have my Trio play for your magical wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at The Biltmore. There are no words to describe the incredibly beautiful wedding, every detail thought of, masterly carried out by Wedding Planner Marjorie Beauvil-Michaud. I loved the ballerinas. But even more than all that beauty is your beauty both inside and out. I wish the very best for you both in your journey together.

    Magical Music!

    Esther and her team were absolutely wonderful and played the most beautiful music for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I could not be happier with them - they are professional, extremely talented, and truly listened to my musical interests and choices. Thank you Esther and Elegant Harp for being part of my special day!

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    Thank you so very much, Jaclyn! We loved being a part of yours and Jose's gorgeous wedding in Port St. Lucie. What a beautiful setting! Your family and guests were so gracious. And I totally loved your choices of music! All the best to you both in your journey together!

    A harpist that elevated our wedding

    Esther was such an incredible addition to our wedding vendor list! She made it so easy to pick the songs we wanted to hear, but honestly, she would have done an excellent job even if left without any input from myself and my fiance. Communicating with her was easy and was one of the few things that I wasn't worried about at all. Of the 83 guests at my wedding, I think the majority took the time to comment to me about how Esther's music changed the tone of the ceremony and the cocktail hour to something more elegant. I would absolutely recommend adding Esther to your vendors because she was worth every cent!

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    Thank you so much, Sarah! It was such a pleasure to be a part of yours and Zachery's wedding at the Ann Norton Sculpture Garden, and assist with making it all that you dreamed it to be. Ideal weather, lovely setting, and beautiful couple. Perfect.
    All the best to you both!

    Mesmerizing

    Esther and team were a highlight of our whole wedding! The best!

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    Thank you so much, Patrick! It was certainly a pleasure for the quartet to play for your wedding ceremony at Lady Jean Ranch in Jupiter, FL. We had not been there before, what a great venue for your wedding! Thanks again and all the best to you both.

    The best addition to our wedding!

    Esther was amazing! She is a very easy and responsive vender to work with. She has a great selection of music to pick from and was also willing to learn new music for us which we are very appreciative of!! Esther played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Her music is beautiful and I am jealous my guests got to spend more time listing to her music than I did!

    Thank you Esther, we are so grateful we had you at our wedding!!

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    Thank you so much, Erin! It was a delight to play the harp for your beautiful wedding at The Inn at Granview in Ogdensburg, NY on the banks the St. Lawrence River. I wish you and Michael all the best!

    1000 Islands Harbor Hotel Wedding

    Esther was amazing! So insightful and helpful with the whole process! We wanted certain versions of songs for our ceremony and she was able to learn them before the big day. We are so glad we decided to go with her for our ceremony and cocktail hour! We definitely recommend!!

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    Thank you so much, Trish! Such a perfect day on the banks of the St. Lawrence River! I was very happy to be able to do my part in making it all that you envisioned it to be. All the best to you and Dane.

    Esther is amazing!

    I am SO happy I hired Esther to play the harp at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She was absolutely amazing. Everyone said how elegant her performance was and she truly made our event. She even learned songs that were not in her library that we requested she perform at our wedding. I cannot say enough good things about her and highly recommend hiring her to perform at your next event!

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    Thank you so much, Samantha! Such a pleasure to play for your wedding at iconic The Palms Hotel, Miami Beach. I must say I had never been asked for "Who Let the Dogs Out", but for the surprise appearance of your dog as ring bearer, it fit! All the best to you both!

    A dream harpist!

    Esther was so wonderful to work with while setting our intentions for the musicality we wanted present for our pre ceremony and wedding ceremony, into cocktail hour. Esther was patient, accommodating, and listened to our requests and made sure everything we wanted was carried out. I could not have asked for a more beautiful string ensemble!

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    Mary, thank you so much! It was indeed such a pleasure for our String Trio to perform for your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at The Addison in Boca Raton. All the best to you both!

    Amazing harpist!

    Esther was the harpist at my wedding and she did an amazing job! She was always very professional, responsive and helpful throughout the process. She has a large selection of music and upon request learned to play a song from one of my husband's favorite video games (Zelda's Lullaby) - we had a lot of Zelda fans and they were thrilled to hear it! I highly recommend hiring her for your wedding if you are considering it. You will not regret it!

    A Beautiful Memory of our Special Day

    Our experience with Esther was wonderful. From my first phone call with her to the actual wedding day, it was so easy and just what I wanted it to be. This was a 2nd wedding for both of us and we were only having a small intimate ceremony and reception with family and a few close friends. We weren’t looking for the typical reception music used for dancing. We wanted something elegant for our ceremony and then again while we enjoyed our dinner and evening with our guests. When I say that Esther is amazing to watch play I really mean it. You can see the music playing through her. The look on her face is pure joy as she sits there making some of the most beautiful music. We were so pleased that we chose Esther to share our special day with us. She’s a genuinely nice person and so talented. If you are searching for something elegant and beautiful you won’t be disappointed with Esther.

    Wonderful Harpist

    Esther played her harp during the ceremony at my son's wedding in February. She was wonderful. Punctual, professional, talented, easy to work with. I would highly recommend her.

    March Wedding 2021

    Esther was AMAZING!! Did a magnificent job for my daughter's wedding & the guest loved the music that was played. The harp was an elegant touch to the wedding. Thank you Esther for the beautiful music and putting all the personal touches that Miranda wanted on her special day. STUNNING JOB!!

    Thank you so much, Annette! It was indeed a privilege to play for Miranda's exquisite wedding at Tuckahoe Mansion...finally after having to reschedule due to Covid-19. It certainly was worth waiting for. All the best to you and MIranda and Tahsin.

    Esther was amazing! We booked her for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and everyone loved her! She is very professional but still nice and personable. She was very flexible with the music selections and learning new pieces! It really added that extra special touch to our day. Highly recommend!!!

    Thank you soo much! I just loved playing for your wedding at Walton House in Homestead. Of all the venues that I have played at I had never been there, so beautiful! Loved the peacocks strutting around. And thank to introducing me to the song "Reckless Love"...it has become a favorite of mine. All the best to you both! xoxo

    Absolutely amazing

    Absolutely AMAZING. When we first met to go over the music, she was open to play anything. She already has a huge list to choose from with all different types of genres. She played a few songs for us and after the first one, we were in tears. It was beautiful. Having Esther play the harp made our wedding. Everyone was so impressed and it was the highlight of the night. I promise you, that this will make your wedding stand out in an amazing way. You will not regret having Esther play at your wedding. The price is perfect and more than worth it. She is so kind and truly will do whatever to make your day special and elegant. BOOK HERE NOW!

    The Elegant Harp's reply:

    Thank you soo much, Christie! I am so thankful that you were able to have your wedding before everything shut down! It was so beautiful at Tuckahoe Mansion! All the best to you both!
