We hired Caroline for our Wedding Ceremony and we had a laundry list of songs ranging from pop, musicals, spiritual, to even obscure Filipino Ballads and she accommodated us in all these requests. She played pre-ceremony, processional, during and after the ceremony. We did a full Catholic Mass so she knew when to appropriately fill in silences with music without our direction. Caroline was a pleasure to work with and made our backyard ceremony even more special with her music.
Thanks for making the occasion even more special
Response from Harpist Caroline Reyes:
Thank you! It was a pleasure to work with you.
We are a repeat client and couldn't be happier with Caroline's second performance here at our country club. She played for our Valentine's Day dinner and the members enjoyed the love songs she played on the harp as background music. Thank you, Caroline!
Response from Harpist Caroline Reyes:
Thank you, Chloe! It’s always a pleasure to work with you!
Caroline Reyes played for Christmas Eve Dinner at our Country Club. I have nothing but stellar things to say about her performance. She was fantastic, prepared a great array of Christmas songs, and was very professional. She was not intrusive to the atmosphere, but instead greatly attributed to the ambiance. We will definitely hire her again if she is available. Caroline is an excellent addition to our event. Thank you!
Caroline played for our wedding giving the intimate lovely ambiance we were looking for. She accommodated our requests, was prompt, professional, easy to work with. Thank you Caroline. Kathy & Tom
Caroline came to my mothers small home to play for my family at Christmas time. I could not be home for Christmas and I wanted something special. Caroline provided that and much more. She was professional, kind, personable and her music was beautiful. She played Christmas songs but took requests as well. She made my family very happy and made a great memories for them. Thank you Caroline. You did an outstanding job!
Response from Harpist Caroline Reyes:
Thank you very much! It was a pleasure to work with you and your family!
We had Caroline for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Caroline was great! We got so much good reviews about her beautiful music! And she sat down with us to discuss what to play at our ceremony! Strongly recommend her!
