“Devon is amazing! She recently played during our October 2012 wedding ceremony. She was very professional throughout the whole planning experience and extremely attentive. She arrived on time and and was very professional. I truly believe our wedding ceremony wouldn't have had the same atmosphere without her talent. I would recommend her to anyone needing a harpist for upcoming events!”

Kristen


“Devon Haupt was the perfect ceremony musician for our wedding. I cannot recommend her enough! Do yourself a favor and hire Devon! Throughout the planning process, Devon was super easy to work with and accommodated all of my requests. I asked for a Disney piece to be played as I walked down the aisle, and she played it perfectly! The music was wonderful, her harp was beautiful, and she was so kind. Thank you, Devon, for creating the perfect atmosphere for our wedding! We love you!”

Amber


“Thank you for your gift of playing the harp. Your talent was perfect and greatly enjoyed throughout our wedding ceremony in Lake Geneva. We look forward to referring you to friends and family and appreciate your organization and musical gift. Thank you!”

Lana


“Devon did a wonderful job at our wedding, and our guests really enjoyed the music!”

Joy


“Devon, Thank you so much for playing the most beautiful harp music at our ceremony and reception. You really helped us create the most memorable & magical day! I will be recommending you to everyone I know.”

Trisha


“Thank you so much for your beautiful music ~ it was one of our favorite memories of our big day! It was just magical with the candlelight. Thank you for making our wedding day so special -- we couldn't imagine anything else!”

Carolyn


“Thank you. Your pictures are beautiful and I must say Ireland looks very very pretty in the old farmhouse on the hill. We have lived here for so many years and have had violins, trumpets, piano, cello, sax, drums... maybe just never ever an instrument or a musician with such magic. The children were mesmerized by you and many parents commented 'Maybe I need to get a harp to put them to sleep at nite'! Sweetly, perched above the mantle just beside your harp is the oil of my mother. Nice to see my mother front and center with Ireland as she died three years ago and I know she too enjoyed the spot you chose! The picture melted my heart to see her there! Thank you. If you need further reference, ever, please do not hesitate to contact me.”

Jo


“Devon, as usual your music was lovely. Thank you for the touch of elegance you added to the event.”

Patty


“They were absolutely terrific, Our wedding was made so special by them. They were prompt, flexible with the placement of the harp, friendly, professional, well-dressed. Their harps were beautiful in the garden where our wedding took place. It wouldn't have been the same without them. I would highly recommend them as a classy and terrific musical accompaniment to your wedding or event. I was 100% pleased.”

Dan


“Devon played at our ceremony and cocktail/dinner hour for the reception in South Bend, IN. I do not have the words to express the wonderful job she did. I was nervous for our ceremony as we had multiple musicians (harpist, organist, vocalist), and I wasn't sure how they all would coordinate the timing, etc. Once the ceremony started, it all went very smoothly and everyone raved about how beautiful the harp was. It added the perfect ambiance and class to our ceremony and a beautiful touch to our reception. I highly recommend Devon and Jeff Haupt if you are looking for beautiful harp music. Very professional, accessible and TALENTED!”

Brian


“Devon and Jeff returned my phone calls in a timely fashion. Jeff was our harpist. He gave me guidance on music selection when asked. On the wedding day he arrived early to check out the venue and set up. His music was beautiful. He was very professional, polite, and nice. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a harpist.”

Margery


“We absolutely loved the work that Devon provided for us. She did an all Beatles ceremony and everyone walked away talking about what an amazing touch the harp added to the ceremony. Thanks for everything Devon!”

Saundra


“I was incredibly impressed by Devon and Jeff. I had a couple of special songs I wanted played for my wedding. One of them had vocals in it. Devon did a search for the sheet music online, and they performed the pieces beautifully! Devon sang for the piece with vocals in it while Jeff played. It was exactly what I had wanted! I also had a few younger kids at the wedding, and after the ceremony they were curious about the harps. When a couple of them came up and started playing with them, instead of getting angry and telling them to stop, Devon and Jeff started teaching them some easy songs to play. I would highly recommend them for any event you're planning!”

Shannon


“Devon was very helpful and accommodating through our planning process. We were at the park early for photos and had assigned several groomsmen to assist her when she arrived - but she was already there and set up! Her graceful presence and beautiful music was astonishing! The music filled the park like a symphony, and the timing of all the songs were perfect! My only regret is that we did not have a video camera dedicated solely for her performance. We cannot express our appreciation and admiration for Devon enough! Thank You so much!”

Kristina


“Devon, You did a beautiful job at our wedding on Saturday! Things got switched around on us at the last minute (no one told us they didn't close the Conservatory to the public during our wedding and we would only get a small chunk of it!), attendants missed their cues, etc, but your music made it so special, it all went off as though perfectly planned. I'm glad you decided to play during the ceremony, it helped offset the noise in the background! It was a magical day overall, and I wish I'd had a chance to thank you at the time, and tell you how much we appreciated your contribution. Here's a great picture of you, I may send more if we get more from another camera, this is just the best one from ours. Thanks again, we will recommend you to anyone we know that's in need of a fantastic musician!”

Penny


“Devon was wonderful. She was there and ready to go far before any of the guests arrived, and her music was beautiful. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Kelly


“We had a cello and a harpist for our ceremony. Devon arranged and practiced with the cello player before the wedding. She helped us select the music which we went with classical music which helped with the mood of our romantic timeless wedding. We did not have to have appointments or deal with major details in the selection of choosing Devon. She truly made her end effortless! Loved it!”

Marka


“Beautiful music! Devon was the harpist for my ceremony and did a great job! I was quite vague with my needs for the ceremony, and she did a great job of selecting music that was perfect! I live in MI, and she in IN so we never met and did all coordination through email - this worked out real well and Devon is extremely responsive and reliable! Devon really did a great job and everyone loved her performance!”

Jackie


“Devon, Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on Saturday. We think it was just wonderful and everyone enjoyed your beautiful playing. We could not have been more happy with the entire day and you gave it a special touch. Everyone who was there loved it. Thanks again.”

Jeff


“Devon was very helpful as we planned this wedding for Nashville from Hawaii. Her talent and assistance with planning the wedding music was everything we hoped for at our wedding. We were thankful for her being a part of our beautiful wedding day and having her talent shared with all of us. Just hearing her harp play during the prelude to the wedding created the perfect ambiance for our special day. We would most definitely recommend her for other weddings as she is very talented and professional. Thank you Devon.”

Jamie


“I just wanted to say thank you for making my ceremony so beautiful, I had so many compliments on how great you sounded. So once again thank you for being such a big part of our special day, it really meant a lot to me!”

Krystal


“We are so grateful you were able to play at our wedding ceremony and appreciate all the extra steps you took - you really went the extra mile. I really would especially like to thank you for being so organized and put together, it helped to alleviate wedding stress!”

Megan


“Hi Devon, I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful music you played at our wedding. With the rain putting a damper on our outdoor event, the beautiful music made up for it. So many people commented on how beautiful you played. Thanks again!”

Shannon


“Devon was great. The location of our ceremony changed so the start time did as well. She was very flexible. The music sounded lovely and the harp was beautiful!”

Courtney


“Thank you for providing such celestial music for the Lincoln Park 2520 Holiday Fair this past December. You worked magnificently with the acoustically challenged space in the John Hancock Center and the selections you performed were masterfully executed. We would be thrilled to have you perform again as your value to the overall ambiance is simply beyond compare.”

Carol


“Devon, thank you so much for playing at my daughter's luncheon yesterday. I loved listening to you and the duet of harp and violin was beautiful. I do hope you'll be able to play at another event for us in the near future. You are very talented.”

Danielle


“Our wedding guests have not stopped raving about you! You made my dream wedding ceremony come true and you never once tugged my sleeve to ask a question. I appreciate the professional touch you added to the entire evening.”

Melanie


“Devon Haupt, Harpist was great and my guests were moved and attentive to her performances. Her voice is a cut above the rest and her playing style is amazing. She is very, very, very talented and really classed up the event. Devon arrived on time, proved to be very flexible and open to sudden changes. She managed her instrument with incredible ease and played with absolute perfection. I look forward to hiring and hearing her for my next event. Thanks!”

Larry


“Being a landmark hotel on the National Register of Historic Places, we are quite picky about everything and everyone we bring into our building -- especially for Easter Brunch. With more than 650 people attending, it is a big annual event for us. Devon not only met but exceeded our every expectation. We received nothing but the highest compliments from everyone -- including our own staff! It is our honor to recommend her without exception.”

Kay


“Devon, We just wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful music at the wedding. Everyone commented on how lovely the music was, and it just made the ceremony complete. Thanks so much for all the time you put in and answering all the questions we had during the last year.”

Jessica


“Hi Devon, I never even got a chance to meet you which I am sorry about! Weddings are a little crazy for the bride and groom though. I wanted to thank you so much for the beautiful music you brought to our wedding, we loved it! I can't tell you how many people commented on your playing. So again, I'm so sorry we never got the chance to meet but I loved your work. Thank you!”

Laural


“Devon played absolutely BEAUTIFUL music at our ceremony. She was only supposed to play for 15 minutes before and after, but she arrived very early and started playing right away! Everyone was very impressed with her skills and she definitely made it feel like a fairytale wedding!”

Nicole


“Jeff, I've been meaning to send a quick note to let you know everyone really enjoyed the harp music for my daughters wedding. We heard lots of compliments for you!”

Cathy


“I wanted to take the time to thank you for providing the lovely music for my daughter's wedding ceremony. We had many comments on what a beautiful touch you added to the perfect day.”

Teresa


“I wanted to drop you a quick email for your service last Saturday. I was not able to meet you personally and I really did not hear many songs that you played, but what I did hear sounded excellent. I asked a couple people how it sounded and they said it was great so I appreciate that. Thanks again!”

Lee


“Mr. Haupt, Thank you so much for the lovely harp music, it added such a wonderful touch to Kristen's wedding day. Sorry, it was so chilly! Everyone enjoyed hearing your lovely music, made sitting in the cold a bit more tolerable. Thank you again.”

Terrie


“Thank you so much for entertaining my Foster Grandparent group at Honker's Restaurant on November 13, 2009! Many of the Foster Grandparents commented that they enjoyed listening to your beautiful harp music during the opening stage of our Recognition Brunch... and I am still receiving comments on your wonderful musical presentation almost two weeks later. Additionally, I appreciated your thoughtfulness as you stopped playing as I was doing introductions and announcements to our volunteer group. Thank you for your talent and for agreeing to play on such short notice.”
