I am a NY-based Harpist with over 18 years of experience. I have been fortunate enough to play for dozens of professional events and weddings along the East Coast. I have performed at many different events, from weddings to corporate Holiday parties to tea parties to retirement parties.

Most recently I was selected to be a featured musician on an episode of the Drew Barrymore show!

We cannot speak highly enough of Terrease, her skill, and her professionalism! My partner and I had not known we wanted live music for our wedding ceremony until we saw a video of her performing. Terrease was an incredible addition to our wedding ceremony. Her musicianship was astounding, and she was a delight to work with---organized and communicative and generous. When we had to move our wedding ceremony indoors last-minute, Terrease went above and beyond to make it work, and was extremely flexible and patient. We could not be more grateful for her willingness to be a part of our event and encourage anyone to work with her. She is an absolute delight and incredibly talented!

LIAT (singer/songwriter) 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves New York, NY

With her earthy acoustics, dark melodies, and rich vocals, singer-songwriter Liat has been captivating live audiences for over fifteen years. After years of performing in the pulsing cities of Philadelphia and New York, Liat moved to Colorado, where she drew inspiration from the folk music of the mountains. Her music evokes her itinerant life and Israeli-American heritage— 90s’ pop-rock meets 60s’ folk with glints of Middle Eastern desert soundscapes. She spins guitar acoustics with her powerhouse vocals for lyrical “dark folk” sounds that linger long after a performance.

My husband and I chose Liat to perform at our wedding and it was the perfect fit to make our reception memorable. My favorite part was Liat playing her guitar and singing as my husband and I shared an intimate first dance on the beach at sunset. Her voice was so beautiful and it made the moment perfect. She was easy to work with and extremely accommodating. She also was able to provide many different kinds of songs for everyone to enjoy. I would definitely recommend using her for your big day- you won’t regret it!

What an honor for Marvill to play at my mother's retirement party (or as she called it a "Radical Reset" party). We originally found out about Marvill when he played at the DC Wharf, while celebrating my mother's birthday at a nearby restaurant. We knew we would have to use his services one day. Marvill was a pleasure to work with! He was on time and handled himself like a professional. He has an extensive song list to select from, including holiday choices.

We cannot say enough kind words about how amazing Sarah is in every aspect! Right from the start, she was so prompt in answering any questions I had and willing to personalize our ceremony just for us. I had an instant connection with her so much so that I asked her if she could officiate our wedding and she thankfully said yes! BEST DECISION EVER! I was so stressed trying to put a wedding together in just a few weeks! Having to only communicate with one person for both the violin and an officiant made this process so much easier! She seamlessly went from violinist to officiant, back to violinist! She also came early to set up and make sure everything would go perfectly, which put my anxious heart at ease. Through our conversations she customized our ceremony perfectly while playing all the songs we requested! She went above and beyond for us, and we are eternally grateful . She is worth every penny and more. I'm so glad I found her! She will always hold a special place in our heart!

Awarded Best of Zola
Matt traveled out to our wedding in Jackson Hole, WY and was such an incredible addition to our day. His original songs were beautiful and he also played some covers for us on request. He was so well prepared and really took the time in the weeks leading up to our wedding to learn the exact “vibe” we were going for and what we wanted. And when there were times that we we were overwhelmed and unsure about which direction we wanted to go in, he was never pushy. He was just so patient, understanding, and made helpful suggestions. He even learned some last minute cover songs for us when we suggested them just a couple days before the wedding. His talent blew my guests away, we heard non stop compliments from everyone about Matt throughout the entire wedding weekend. What was most special was when Matt collaborated with my husband and surprised me and my wedding party in our suite while we were having hair and makeup done. He serenaded us and it was SO special and romantic. And he even played some special Disney songs for our flower girl (my niece) when she was getting nervous. I will never forget hearing Matt sing and play “our song” when I walked down the aisle. Don’t hesitate - book Matt for your wedding!!
