Using the added benefit of a concert grand electric harp for her incredible performances, Alyssa spans all genres from classical to contemporary and pop and jazz. The electric harp is connected to a DJ quality sound system, making it perfect for performing both at indoor and outdoor venues. Most recently her unique talents have caught the eye of Toronto’s own: Domanique Grant. This extraordinary Indie-Pop singer/songwriter decided to pair her soulful artistry with a harpist. Ms. Grant’s inspirational accolades span across the globe and give a rich history and deep soulfulness to her exquisite voice.

Couldn't image NOT having Alyssa. Her harp added the exact ambience required. On top we saw a professional at work. Amazing talent. Thank you so much.

Magical event - that just made the day perfect
Our wedding was magical but it was truly majestical with our harpist that made our wedding vows in a word perfect. There's something that makes your love flow when you have harp music playing behind both of you. Make your treasured memory never to be forgotten and I highly recommend for couples that wish to make the day...truly defined as perfect.

Alyssa came up as one of my searches when I was looking for a harpist. She was one of the quickest to respond, and was also the only one willing to accommodate a special request of mine - to allow my brother (also a harpist) to play a song on her pedal harp during our wedding. Several of my guests have even came up to me to compliment on her performances. Overall, I am rather pleased to have hired her.

Thank you SO much Melissa! Your wedding was fabulous, and the guests were so much fun to interact with and take requests from! It was my pleasure to play at the ceremony and then after for the cocktail reception. That huge photo mirror was a great touch!
All the very best to you and James in your new journey together in life! : )
