Naomi was kind enough to fill in for our wedding in January 2024 when another harpist was unable to perform due to an injury. We were initially bummed because our previous harpist was so sweet, but we quickly learned that we were in excellent hands with Naomi as well. She was incredibly responsive and had lots of musical experience. She performed during our cocktail hour, so unfortunately we didn't get to hear most of it ourselves. However, all of our guests told us the music was lovely and the snippets we did hear were amazing. She also dressed formally and was sure to ask what colors would compliment our wedding scheme, which we really appreciated. That was such a nice touch for her to do. We are so grateful that she was willing to jump in and were thrilled to have someone so talented as part of our special day! Thank you! read more

Naomi was chosen as the harpist for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding ceremony in Balboa Park on November 4th, 2023 (I meant to do this long ago and finally got around to it). I must say she was incredible! She worked closely with them to select the songs they wanted, letting them hear how each one sounded, and was incredibly accommodating throughout the process. She truly cares and enjoys playing and it shows! She was detail-oriented, punctual, and professional every step of the way, and she's also the sweetest woman. She played before, during, and after the ceremony with songs specifically chosen for each timeframe and even coordinated her dress color with their wedding colors. Her music is absolutely mesmerizing and added the perfect touch of elegance to their garden wedding. It could not have been more perfect. A couple walking by to preview the site heard her playing before the ceremony and stopped to ask for her card for their upcoming wedding. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed. Book her now! read more

Harpist Naomi Alter - Performing Arts Near Me

Naomi played at our wedding and her music is breathtaking! She was so friendly and kind during the planning process. She accommodated our every need and we are picky people! She even looked up a song that my husband really wanted for his entrance and was able to quickly learn it and play it for him. I enjoy listening to the songs of today played on classical instruments and she does this so well. If you do too stop reading this and hire her now! read more

Naomi is a very talented musician. We hired her for our wedding last Sat and transformed the ceremony to something magical. She was very professional, very attentive & responsive to our questions. She even recommended more songs for the church ceremony. We highly recommend Naomi Alter! read more

Ms. Alter has not performed at our wedding yet, but I couldnt be happier to be working with her. She has been prompt, responsive and friendly from the first time I contacted her to inquire about her services. This morning we were invited to her home where she had graciously set out water and snacks for us on the patio. She went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and felt welcomed. We had the pleasure of hearing of her play a variety of songs as she talked us through some options for our event. My fiance was very curious about the harp itself and she was incredibly polite and patient in answering his many, many questions about it, which I really appreciate. Her enthusiasm for both music and our wedding was very refreshing and made it a fun experience. And I havent even mentioned how unbelievably talented she is as a musician! She makes playing a very complex and high maintenance instrument look like second nature. We are almost too mesmerized to make any song decisions. I cant wait to hear her perform again and share that experience with our wedding guests. I have no doubt they will be just as impressed! read more

Naomi is not only talented, but the consummate professional. I engaged her to play contemporary music at a recent fundraiser and she was PERFECT! I was so pleased how lovely she played during both the cocktail and dinner. Everyone remarked about what a nice addition she made to the festivities. I'd hire her again in a minute!!! read more

Naomi was so wonderful to work with and her harp music was the perfect whimsical addition to our garden ceremony. She was easy to coordinate with, provided clear guidelines and feedback on timeline and songs, and has a great song library and list for reference. Naomi even coordinated her outfit to our wedding colors. Her harp was music to everyone's ears - we still receive compliments on her performance :) Do yourself a favor and hire this sweet lady and her heavenly sounding harp! Thank you, Naomi! read more

Naomi was a pleasure to work with. She's very responsive and gave a lot of good recommendations. She played the harp and sang beautifully. After the ceremony and family photos, she even strolled her harp over to us, so we could take a picture. She came early and was very professional. I would highly recommend Naomi. She is by far the best harpist in San Diego, Southern California. read more

Great harpist! I had the opportunity to watch (isn't it beautiful to watch a harpist?) and listen to the romantic music played by Naomi last Saturday, at a bridal fair event. She was so fantastic that I went to introduce myself. The location was so dreamy too, that she and her music totally blended with the ambiance. She explained a bit about her instrument and the type of music she plays in diverse ceremonies, parties and events. Naomi was super approachable as a true musician should be! Loved the experience of having an harpist playing for just a handful of us! read more

Naomi played at my wedding in November 2013 at La Costa Resort and Spa. She was amazing! From the beginning I talked with her over the phone regarding not sure how to find the "right harpist" as I have never had to look for one to her patience when I began to run out of time to reply to some emails of hers because my wedding was right around the corner, she was pleasant and professional the whole time. Of the compliments I received at my wedding the top ones were, "your harpist was great!" She did a great job playing the harp, accompanying my sister as she sang to us, and thanks to her kindness we got some great wedding harp shots! Thank you so much Naomi-best of luck to you and your career! Susie and Marcus read more

Hiring Naomi was the best decision we made for our wedding. Not only is her music so wonderfully beautiful, she has a charming and charismatic personality, and is a team player! She coordinated with our wedding colors, and was very sweet, easy to work with, and very helpful throughout the whole process. Honestly, we continue to receive compliments days after our wedding occurred on how great the harpist was. And it really does dress up a wedding ceremony and gives a more upscale and classy vibe. Our venue coordinators were also in awe of the harp music. My only regret was having been the bride and not a guest, else I could have enjoyed all of the music she played! I also wish I would have walked down the aisle slower to prolong the song I chose for my processional. Anyway, that just gives me an excuse to keep recommending her to friends who plan to get married so I get my moment as a guest to hear her play :) Soon enough, hehe. Thanks again, Naomi. You're amazing! read more

My wife and I cannot thank Naomi enough for her blessing us with her talents. Among the FIRST compliments we receive on our wedding ceremony was 'The Harpist'. I wish I would have had time to thank her after the ceremony. I HIGHLY recommend her for any event. Don and Jeannette read more

I hope I am able to do justice in sharing our experience with Naomi who played for our Ladies Spring Tea. Being that Alice in Wonderland was our theme, seeking Victorian elegance with a bit of whimsy, we needed music that went along with our vision for our guests. Naomi gave us everything and more in playing the harp for us. It is such a beautiful instrument and perfect to give us the beauty of music without drowning out the interactions we wanted to see our guest having with each other. Naomi was very attentive to the volume, style, and choice of music with her skillful playing. She presents herself beautifully and dressed according to our theme. We have had nothing but compliments and excellent reviews from all the ladies who attended our tea. Thank you, Naomi, we appreciated you more than you know. read more

Naomi's amazing harp skills made us all feel like we were in heaven! She is very talented and WILL make your day the best! Thank you Naomi! read more

She even welcomed us into her home to sample her talent and pick out songs for our big day. Highly recommended! THANK YOU for being a part of our wedding:) read more

I loved Naomi. If you want to impress your guests, having a harpist will set the ambience of elegance and class of your party. I'm glad I met Naomi at the SD Bridal Bazaar because she is so sweet and easy to work with. Not to mention her pricing is very reasonable. I hired Naomi for my wedding ceremony and I would hire her again for my next party. She also has an extensive musical background and basically knows every song in the book. I had a Breakfast at Tiffany's theme for my wedding and she played Moon River beautifully. She provides her own sound system and her harp is large and beautiful. Definitely a great accessory to my wedding :D read more

Naomi makes your wedding ceremony unforgettable! Her incredible talent & beautiful harp playing goes without saying but everything about her is perfect! From our first encounter to the last beautiful song she played went without a hitch! We played an April Fools joke at the wedding and she went above & beyond finding learning & playing the "Mission Impossible Theme". From what she wore to every aspect of the business dealings- simply perfect! read more

I am so happy that we selected Naomi to play the ceremony music for our wedding. She was able to play every song that we requested without hesitation.

We were very fortunate to have Naomi played for our small wedding reception. She is a true professional harpist that met our expectations and beyond. Naomi's extensive musical and event knowledge came out to help us complete our wedding musical program to a perfect level. She came to the event prepared and very well-mannered. We would love to hire Naomi again for our next events. Thank you! read more

Including Naomi in our wedding was one of the best and easiest decisions! My husband and Dad met her at a bridal bazaar and instantly wanted to have her at our wedding. We had never discussed having a harpist, but it sounded amazing so we set up a meeting to meet with Naomi. She invited us over her house and put on a private show for us. We asked her if she could play The Luckiest because we wanted that to be the song I walked down the aisle to. She had never heard of it so we pulled up the notes for her and reading from our phone she started to play. It sounded MAGICAL. We knew instantly. She invited us to her home again as it got closer to our wedding and she printed out sheet music for all of the rock songs we wanted her to play as our guests arrived. She is always more than willing to learn whatever music that means something to you, she offers wonderful suggestions, and has a beautiful voice to accompany the harp if you want anything sung. She showed up early to our wedding and was already playing as our guests arrived, transitioned flawlessly to our cocktail hour, and graciously bowed out as our DJ took over for our entrance into cocktail hour. Naomi is truly an amazingly talented, genuine person and would be a fantastic addition to any special day. read more

Naomi was the harpist for my wedding recently and she is wonderful to work with! I decided to work Naomi instead of another musician, and I'm so happy that I made the right choice. She is informative, great communicator, and really dependable. She'll help you with your music selection if you are not sure and she will play all your requests. It also really helped that she was so responsive over email, because that is my preferred method of communication. This was such a big help because you don't need a non-responsive vendor while planning your wedding. Best of all, her rate is comparable, if not better due to everything she does leading up to the wedding, to other musicians. A sample of her music selection and playing is available on her website. I also met her at the SD Bridal Bazaar, if you want to meet her in person. You can't go wrong with Naomi :) read more

Omg! Naomi was amazing! She was so beautiful, and performed flawlessly at our wedding! She was such an amazing addition to our special day. Thank you so much! I highly recommend her! And did I mention she can play any song you'd like! read more

Harpist Naomi Alter - Performing Arts Near Me

Naomi Alter is absolutely fabulous to work with and that is a huge understatement. She was flexible, a wealth of knowledge, she helped direct us to awesome music choices and was extremely accommodating. She is extremely reliable, arrives early and represented our Church with respect and professionalism. Paired her beautiful harp music with our niece's singing and it was a match in Heaven. There wasn't a dry eye at the ceremony!!! read more

Naomi put together beautiful selections for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She was great to work with, extremely professional and pleasant, and our guests have given many compliments on her performance. A friend who is getting married in a few weeks plans to co-opt some pieces for his own processional. Naomi sounds even better in person than in the recordings on her website. She stayed an extra hour, without us even having to ask, when various disasters delayed the start of the reception. We highly recommend her. read more

Naomi played the harp for our wedding ceremony in June. Simply put, her music is exceptional. Her version of Canon in D is by far the best I've ever heard. it brought tears to my eyes (ok - maybe I was emotional since I was the bride, but it was really beautiful). She even went out of her way to ensure the photographer was able to take our pictures by the harp before she packed up. She's dependable and delightful. I highly recommend her! read more

My mom and I met Naomi at the Bridal Bazaar. After she played a couple sample songs for us on her harp, we knew we wanted to have her for my wedding. She was able to offer lots of suggestions for ceremony songs and welcomed requests of our favorite songs for cocktail hour. Her music was beautiful and definitely set the tone for our romantic day! read more

We met Naomi at a wedding expo and the first thing I asked her was if she could play Metallica, to which she replied "I can play anything". We hired her to play at our April wedding in Fallbrook and again, I asked her if she could play Metallica, but this time she replied that she tried it and it didn't sound good (even though the songs I wanted were instrumentals). Whatever, I thought, we still loved the idea of a Harpist playing as our guests were seated. As our wedding approached, it appeared that it was going to rain and we were making arriangments to move the wedding into the tented area. Naomi met my wife to be at the venue and that's when things went bad. She made a huge fuss about it being too cold, too wet, etc for her to play and there was no way she was going to do it. (Keep in mind this was the DAY BEFORE our wedding.) When my wife pressed her, she said she would return the entire fee, wrote a check and then gave my wife the old plastic rain coat she was wearing as a "wedding gift" and left. She is an odd duck to say the least and I don't know what happened between the older reviews and our event, but I would think twice about hiring her. read more

It was a pleasure working with Naomi for my wedding on June 24, 2016. Everything from getting in contact with her, making payments, and selecting songs was a breeze!! She also gave words of encouragement and was very excited to be working with us. She brings everything with her for set up so it's less for you to worry about. We took pictures with her harp after the wedding and she even helped straighten out my dress for pictures. NAOMI WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! read more

I've always wanted a harpist to play at my wedding and I'm SO happy I found Naomi! Our wedding was on October 25th. Her music is beyond majestically BEAUTIFUL; She was extremly gracious and kind! If you are ever in need of a musician, please hire Naomi! You will be so happy you did! read more

I just worked with Naomi at a wedding June 28 at Rancho Bernardo Inn. Her playing was beautiful. And at one point she sang during the ceremony, it sounded amazing. She is a true professional, personable, and so easy to work with. read more

I met harpist Naomi at the San Diego's bridal bazaar. After that I felt in love with her music and her beautiful voice! You can listen to her demo online at her website. She played harp for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on October 18th, 2014. Her music sounds even better in live than her demo! If I could give her 10 stars I would, because she really went above and beyond for my wedding. She was so responsible and organized. About one month prior to my wedding, she would email me and discuss with me about song choices for my event. She carried out all the details without any flaws! I received so many compliments about her performance at my wedding! Her cost is very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend her for any event, trust me, you and your guests will be impressed! read more

Words cannot describe Naomi and her beautiful harp music..it's beyond magical! Her elegance, grace and spirit lit up the precession of our Niece's wedding, August 20, 2016! I wish I can get married again after 20 years (to the same man of course :) LOL)... I would hire her immediately!!!! No other music can compare-I Promise! read more

Naomi was amazing! She brought her harp all the way up to 5th floor to offer us one of the most romantic photo opportunity! She was cheerful and a joyful addition to our wedding. We couldn't be happier with her performance during our wedding and cocktail hour. We highly recommend her to our friends and family. read more

Naomi played the harp and sang at our wedding last weekend. A few months before the big date, Naomi invited us to her house to listen to her play. Her music was beautiful - more than we could have imagined! Our guests could not stop raving at how amazing her music was. One of my friends said she felt like she was in heaven with chills down her spine when Naomi played Canon in D for my bridal procession. I am forever grateful that we decided to book her as our wedding music! read more

Ms. Alter is a superb harpist, and she was the perfect musician for my daughter's outdoor wedding. Harp music is always lovely, and it provides that elegant finishing touch for outdoor events. We are so thankful for Ms. Alter's advice and counsel, and of course for her beautiful music! From a very, very happy mother of the bride, Kathy Summers read more

We, the Davis family are so very pleased to highly, highly recommend Naomi Alter, harpist for your occasion. Naomi blessed us with her music, voice and hymn leadership throughout the Memorial Service and Reception for our 101 year old mother. Together we chose favorite songs and appropriate WWII era music to enhance the beauty of the day. She is prompt, responsible, intuitive and a lovely caring person. We'd give her ten stars if we could ! read more

Naomi has been playing her harp for our annual Community Christmas concert for many years now, and she is excellent!! We always book her early in the year because she is in high demand during the Christmas season. She plays so well, and I can give her any music that I need played, and if there is not a specific arrangement for harp, she will find a way to make it work! She is extremely professional and always arrives on time, ready to play. She communicates well and is very organized with her schedule. The harp adds a stunning addition to any setting, and Naomi is the best!! read more

Naomi Alter played Britten's "Ceremony of Carols" for the Christmas Concert of the Christian Children's Chorus. She was marvelous, and such a pleasure to work with! She also played beautiful carols as the guests entered and played several other songs with the choirs during the program. We had not rehearsed these until "the last minute," but Naomi knew just when to play - at what volume level - and how to enhance the singing by her professional musicianship. I highly recommend Naomi for any event. Whether she is playing solo or accompanying a choir or soloist, she knows just how to do it! You will be pleased with Naomi! read more
