Rika V. Married on 26/08/2018Honest and an exquisite addition to the ceremony
As the bride, I didn’t really get the chance to enjoy her music and performance. But I have had many Bride to bes ask me for her contact. She adds elegance to the ceremony and is perfect for pictures. Music was perfection and would added emotions to the ceremony. I now regret not getting a videographer just to see her play.
She was also honest. My venue kicked her out before her time was up, she suggested to be moved, but they insisted on her departure. She could have just left and I wouldn’t know, but she notified me and even provided a refund for being kicked out 30 mins early.
You would love her if you want that fairytale wedding, One of a kind music!!Chantal Dube, The Harpist's reply:
Thanks so much for your review! I’m so sorry you didn’t get to hear more of my performance but you had a gorgeous wedding. All the best to you both! -

Tina S. Married on 09/06/2018Beautiful musicians add a whole new level of elegance
We are so happy to have Harpist and Cellist Naomi and Heather play at our wedding. Their music was absolutely heavenly and it doesn’t hurt that they even wore stunning dresses that matched our theme. We would highly recommend them for anyone trying to add some elegance to their wedding.Chantal Dube, The Harpist's reply:
Thanks for your kind words Tina! I am so glad you noticed how elegantly we dress when we perform at weddings! Naomi and Heather appreciate that you noticed their matching gowns :) All the best! -
![Illusha]()
Illusha N. Married on 07/10/2017Fantastic, professional, talented harpist
We wanted a harpist for an early October wedding ceremony. It turns out that harpists are (understandably) somewhat concerned about playing outdoors in the middle of fall. Of the over half-dozen harpists we contacted, Chantal Dube was by far the most responsive and willing to work with our venue. She was also very helpful in making suggestions regarding song choices and helping us with the songs we wanted. On the day itself, Naomi Jackson arrived with plenty of time to set up. She did a fantastic job playing in the lead-up to the ceremony and during the ceremony itself. The music really helped make our day a little bit more special. I would highly recommend Chantal Dube and her team to anyone looking for harp music for their wedding!Chantal Dube, The Harpist's reply:
Thanks so much for your kind words and great review. We try to be as flexible and helpful as possible! All the best to you both! -
![Vanessa]()
Vanessa B. Married on 05/08/2017Elegant, professional, organized and affordable
After spending countless months reaching out to individual musicians Chantal dube was recommended to me by a friend that had seen one of her musicians perform. She had our wedding date available and was one of the more affordable options for us so we were thrilled. Naomi Jackson was our harpist for our ceremony at kortright and she was dressed elegantly and incredibly professional. The music selection is already extensive offering plenty of top 40 songs but willing to learn a new one if your event is far enough away and she did in fact learn a new song for me! I was very impressed with my first impression including website and quick email responses. I would recommend!Chantal Dube, The Harpist's reply:
Thanks for your kind and honest words Vanessa! Thank you for the photo you included as well and mentioning how we come dressed and offer a nice range of music :) All the best! -

It also added a unique and special feel to the ceremony. Thank you Chantal for your amazing performance.Chantal Dube, The Harpist's reply:
Thanks so much Chris for your kind words! It's great to hear the guests also enjoyed my performance, it's a real treat for people to see a harp up close since it's a rare instrument! All the best to you both!
