Reviews for Ted Nichelson, Harpist
Ted was a great person to work with. We had his contact information from other Disneyland couples, but didn’t think we’d employ his services because we weren’t sure if we could afford a live musician. After getting his very reasonable quote, we were convinced that adding a harpist to our event was possible. He was delightful to work with. From even prior to booking, he was very quick to answer our inquiries. After sending our deposit, he was very attentive to our e-mails and was really flexible about what songs we wanted to hear played. We wanted music that was completely untraditional and not on his website and he was able to let us know what he had in his repertoire and made them available for us to use. He was even fantastic about learning a new piece for me to surprise my FI with for my walk down the aisle. All I had to do was send him the music and he learned the piece at no extra charge. He was AMAZING !! We were so impressed with how early he arrived and how quickly he set up at our wedding.
My husband thought the musical selections he played sounded tremendous!! We later learned that he had a slight technical difficulty during a particular processional piece but nobody even noticed. We're so glad that we decided to add a Harp to our event and that he was able to accommodate our untraditional requests.
Ted’s rendition of the main theme from Disney/Pixar’s UP (the song I had him learn for my walk down the aisle) was beyond what I imagined. That song warms my heart so much and when I heard the beginning part, I just about lost it. When my fire engine pulled up and I heard it, I tried so hard to choke back my tears. It was seriously beautiful and I can't wait for the video so I can hear it again. He did SO well and I thank him so profusely for taking the time to learn the song and fill my heart with joy. My husband ended up recognizing the tune and he said that that started him crying because he knew how special it was and we're just so thrilled with everything Ted did for us.
We HIGHLY recommend Ted to anyone wanting to hear harp music at their event. Ted is a gifted musician and definitely a worthwhile addition to any event.
Ted was awesome! I admit, while you're walking down the aisle, it's tough to listen to what he's playing, but the parts that I heard were magical! He even played during our cocktail hour which everyone thought was pretty fancy of us ;) Ted is beyond reasonable in his pricing and is quick to respond back to your questions and concerns. He dressed in the appropriate attire and was very professional. I highly recommend him to any bride :)
Very pleasant and professional. Played our chosen selections and did a lovely job with choosing other pieces in the same mood.
Ted was fantastic and easy to work with. He was even willing to learn new songs for our wedding cocktail hour. (I thought it'd be nice to have modern songs played on the harp, though our ceremony music was traditional). I wish I could say I heard all of these new songs but I was so busy during my cocktail hour I didn't have time to tune in closely! Regardless, he is so accommodating and charges a reasonable amount for his harp services!
Dr. Ted Nichelson truly contributed to the success of our wedding. Our ceremony room wasn't big enough to hold a string quartet, so we decided to look for a harpist to play for our wedding. Like most people, we first went by word of mouth, then got on the internet to look for vendors. Finally, we came across www.yourharpist.com. I knew I found the right person when he responded to my inquiry within a day. He's fair in his price and his talent speaks for itself. All of our guests raved about how beautiful our ceremony was, all thanks to the beautiful music Dr. Nichelson provided. I thought I was taking a chance when I hired him because I had never met him in person and had only communicated with him mainly through email. However, all of my worries were put to rest when he actually called me a week before the wedding to confirm the details! He was prompt and played until the end of our ceremony, from beginning to end, he played for more than the hour we hired him for. Dr. Nichelson's talent and his sense of responsibility to his clients makes him the top choice for any occasion.
