"Tomina was incredible at our wedding reception! We were so thrilled to have her play for our cocktail hour. She was setup, on time, and playing as we entered the room and just thinking about how special it was gives me chills. She was happy to play our harp choices and add in her own as well. I would recommend Tomina to anyone looking for a talented, professional musician. Thank you, Tomina!"

"Tomina was the perfect addition to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Tomina was professional, prompt in all communication (even when postponed an entire year) and fantastic at her art. Tomina went above and beyond to help with all my last-minute questions and concerns in regard to choosing the best music for our wedding. She has a vast repertoire and I am pretty sure that she can play just about anything! We had a mix from popular Brazilian music, Frank Sinatra to today’s hits. She does it all! Tomina was an absolute pleasure to work with and our wedding would not have felt the same without her"
"Tomina performed at my wedding on August 14, 2021 at The Lighthouse in Chelsea Piers. She played during the ceremony and mingling leading up to the ceremony. She was incredibly responsive and helpful leading up to the day. She gave me a list of songs to choose from and also arranged a song for me (Dreams by Fleetwood Mac) because I really wanted my bridesmaids to walk down the aisle to that. She is super talented and incredibly easy to work with. She can arrange almost anything on the harp - I was blown away! She made the ceremony super memorable and it was such a beautiful touch to the whole day. Thank you, Tomina!"
"Tomina was the musician for our wedding ceremony. She was amazing, I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful harpist. She was very accommodating with music selections and all the questions I emailed to her. Her beautiful playing also added to the reception. I feel very lucky to have hired Tomina and it is my pleasure to recommend her. If the opportunity presents, I would not hesitate to contact her again.
