    Akash S (The Knot)

  • Stephanie was literally amazing. We had a vision of what songs we had in mind when walking down the aisle and were worried it wasn't going to be possible but Stephanie made it happen. She's extremely talented and knowledgable and provided the music for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour at our wedding. She was excited to play our request for all contemporary music including the Sailor Moon theme song and all my guests were extremely impressed. Having a harpist was honestly the best decision and I am so glad I found Stephanie. 10/10 recommend.

    Ashley O (The Knot)

  • Stephanie was such an incredible component of our special day, her harp playing freezes time and sets the absolute perfect mood to really take in the moment. Working with her was incredible as well, she had an extensive list of songs and even planning the details with her helped us figure out the flow of our ceremony!

    Stephanie and her harp in our forest setting were such a dream. When I think back to our wedding, I think of her rendition of our favorite song - beautiful beyond words.

    Haley (Wedding Wire)

  • Stephanie proved to be an outstanding selection as our harpist for my recent wedding. Throughout the entire process, from the initial planning stages to the momentous day itself, she consistently demonstrated exceptional communication skills, which provided me with a sense of ease, even as I was simultaneously planning my own wedding. Her musical selections seamlessly aligned with the ambiance of our wedding, and she was particularly attentive in pausing her performance when anyone wished to make a toast. I recommend her services to any couples seeking to infuse a touch of sophistication into their cocktail hour and/or reception.

    M W (The Knot)

  • Stephanie is the best! We worked with her for our wedding and could not be happier that we did. In the lead up, she was incredibly organized, easy to communicate with and quick to answer any questions. On the day of our wedding, Stephanie, and the other members of the Echo Chamber Ensemble trio, blew us and our guests away during both the ceremony and cocktail hour. There is such an amazing diversity of music that they play. They also arranged and played a couple of songs for us for our processional / recessional and cocktail hour that they hadn't before which rocked. Recommend her so much!

    Charlie K (The Knot)

  • Having Stephanie play for our ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding day. From our very first interaction, she was kind, warm, and genuinely invested in helping us create something special and personal. Her music was nothing short of magical - so many of our guests told us how moving and beautiful it was, and we felt the same way. She also went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, including collaborating seamlessly with a violinist she brought in and coordinating timing for special moments in the ceremony. Everything felt effortless because of how thoughtful and professional she is. We are so grateful for the beauty and emotion she added to our celebration. It wouldn’t have been the same without her. Highly recommend!

  • Steph was a phenomenal addition to our wedding in Tuscany! She went above and beyond to tailor the performance to the vibe we were looking for. She was flexible, organized, and extremely talented. She’s also a fun and friendly person who got along great with all of our other guests! We would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a harpist in NYC or beyond, for a wedding or any other occasion.

    John K (Wedding Client)

  • Steph truly made our reception magical. Throughout the planning process and during the event, she was kind, professional, responsive, warm, and so darn good at her art! She helped us make choices about music ahead of time that we didn’t even think of and she composed a special arrangement of our song. She helped us navigate the equipment and sound system logistics and communicated directly with our venue and the DJ. All of our guests were raving about entering the space to ethereal modern-meets-classic hard melodies. We sincerely cannot recommend Steph enough!

    Vidya M (Wedding Client)

  • We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Stephanie who was our Harpist for our 9/6/25 wedding. She played beautifully throughout our ceremony and then played and sang during our cocktail hour - she was absolutely incredible. Our guests could not stop raving about her. She was professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to communicate with, and her streamlined process took so much stress off our plates during planning. Beyond her exceptional talent, she was genuinely kind and enthusiastic, and it was clear she was truly excited to be part of our wedding day. We would work with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.

    Rachel T (Wedding Client)

  • Steph was amazing. She helped us plan our songs and was open to working with us on some less familiar songs. Very professional and experienced. All that was sugar on top. Her performance was perfect and added such a special element to our wedding. We will never forget it. Highly recommend.

    Jeremiah T (Wedding Client)

  • Stephanie is incredible! From day, one I loved her vibe and consistent communication.

    Taylor L (Wedding Client)

  • I hired Stephanie to play during our wedding! She performed the classics during my ceremony to welcome guests and as I walked down the aisle. She also played popular songs during our cocktail hour. I loved working with Stephanie. She helped us navigate song selection and was always quick to respond. It was important for us to find someone talented, professional, and kind to be part of our special day and Stephanie was all of these and more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Kellie B (Wedding Client)

  • We had the absolute pleasure of having Stephanie and her team perform during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were nothing short of incredible! My husband and I have a pretty wide range of music tastes and could not decide on whether we wanted to feature more classic wedding music, modern top 40, or R&B/Hip hop hits, but thanks to Stephanie, we didn’t have to choose! She fully understood our vision from the first consultation and was able to create a seamless setlist based solely on us sharing some of our favorite songs from various genres. In addition to perfectly blending twists of pop, hip hop, R&B, and the classics, Stephanie was able to tap into her network of seasoned talented musicians and fulfill our request for a violinist accompaniment. She took so much stress and mental load off of us during a time when we were so overloaded, and we are just as appreciate of that as we are for the beautiful music. Stephanie created a truly unforgettable experience for us. Our guests still rave about the gorgeous music to this day. To have been able to work with someone who is so talented, kind, and knowledgeable made all the difference in the world, not only for our wedding day, but for our planning experience as a whole. Thank you so much, Stephanie!
