Joanna Jordan, Harpist for your Wedding

I LOVED my wedding! The night was memorable, beautiful, and most of all....FUN! Although my wedding was small and simple, I wanted it to be elegant and I was successful in accomplishing this. Having Joanna play during the receiving line, cocktails and dinner really added to the ambiance I was trying to create!

Joanna’s electric harp helped put the room together – and the music was heavenly! She played a wide variety of songs from different genres (her music repertoire is huge so I knew she would please everyone) – including jazz songs – so it was also hip – matching our personalities.

During the evening, Joanna noticed the crowd was a lively bunch and asked if she can do her rendition of ‘Purple Haze’ by Jimmy Hendrix. I hesitated but agreed – and boy – am I happy I let her do it! 

Joanna was FANTASTIC and made the entire crowd scream and cheer, and that moment really set the mood for the rest of the evening! Although it’s been almost 3 years, people still talk about my wedding and especially Joanna’s ‘Purple Haze’.

Joanna Jordan is a true professional and a musical talent! Thanks Joanna for helping make my night awesome!

"We are so happy that we hired you  to play the harp for our Wedding. We love your personality and felt comfortable with you since the first time we met.

You surpassed our expectations of what we thought a harpist could do, from the ceremony where your Electric Harp filled the Church with a warm and beautiful sound, the romantic solo arrangement of “A Time For Us” for our first dance and then later on when you rocked out with “Stairway to Heaven” and “Sweet Child of Mine” to the delight of all our guests, many of whom stood on their chairs and cheered you on.

Thank you so much, you created a memory of our Wedding that we will never forget. It was a pleasure to work with you."

I am so pleased to write this testimonial for Joanna Jordan. If you wish to add a special component to your wedding, look no further than Joanna Jordan. Joanna is a gifted harpist with a repertoire of musical scores that guarantees that your favourite songs will make your day magical.

When I first contacted her, I was looking for live music to play while the guests were arriving, and for the bride's entrance.  Once I met her, and realized how incredibly talented and versatile she is, I booked her to cover the ceremony, as well as the cocktail reception, and dinner. My initial thought for the cocktail reception and dinner was to book a pianist, but once you consider that a piano is basically an undercover harp, how cool is a harp!  Anyone can have a piano, but the harp is mystical. If I had it to do again, I would have cancelled the DJ and booked Joanna for the entire event.

Joanna played at my daughter's wedding, and the feedback from friends and family was abuzz about the harpist. She was the icing on the cake, that final touch of class that made our day perfect. At one point my husband jumped out of his seat yelling  "I can`t believe she is playing the Doors".   My husband had left all these details to me, and was surely thinking, okay, we are  having a harpist, how sweet, whatever. I loved how pleasantly surprised he was.

Our venue was enchanting; The Estates at Sunnybrook; just add Joanna to your venue, and you will have your fairy tale wedding!

Joanna has my consent to forward my phone number should you wish to hear the excitement in my voice.  I simply lucked into finding her, and believe me, she is amazing. Best friends who attended our wedding have already booked her for their daughter's wedding this June (2010).

My husband and I really enjoyed the music on our wedding day. Our wedding was small and simple, but I would like to add my own character and style.

I made a good decision to have Joanna at my wedding, using Electric Harp to play both for our ceremony and the reception. The music was both elegant and modern.

To my surprise, Joanna can even play Chinese folk music. So I chose Jasmine, the folk song originated from my home province when I walked down the aisle. It's so emotional and memorable as it meant a lot to me.

During reception, her performance together with guitarist was great and I heard many compliments from my guests. Joanna was so reliable and thoughtful, that I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a classic yet modern wedding.

Eric and I just wanted to personally thank you once again for a beautiful and stunning performance on Saturday night. 

We wanted that WOW! factor and you definitely delivered it.  We still have family and friends that are ranting and raving over how impressed they were with your playing.

Thank you for helping us make our night just that much more memorable.

When David and I sat down and began planning our wedding day, we knew we wanted a luxurious, elegant affair. After choosing the Royal York Hotel in downtown Toronto as our venue, it was only natural that we would choose a soundtrack to match - and we didn't waste any time booking Joanna Jordan to play the harp for both our ceremony and our reception dinner!

We only wanted the best for our wedding, and Joanna definitely fit the bill - she went above and beyond what we expected, including learning a few of our favourite songs for the ceremony, and accompanying a vocalist during our ceremony. Joanna had me over to her home for an in-depth music selection, and was very easy to communicate with as our wedding approached. On the day of our wedding, I felt relaxed and excited - and knowing that the music was in Joanna's competent hands made me breathe even easier.

The ceremony was like walking down the aisle in a dream, and the music was beyond perfect. During dinner, Joanna dazzled our guests with her beautiful renditions of modern and classic songs on the harp! I know that we could have booked a musician for a lesser price, but it definitely would not have been worth the worry!

If you are a bride and considering spending a little extra on top-of-the-line entertainment like Joanna, I definitely recommend her! It is worth paying a little extra for the peace of mind alone - not to mention the amazing music! 

The reaction of our guests was more than I could have hoped for - everyone was commenting on the amazing harpist! Thank you Joanna for helping to make our wedding day fairy-tale perfect!!

Best wishes,

Jasmine & David
