It felt like I was in a movie

“I seriously can’t thank you enough for being a part of the special day. I’m not one of those people who has had my proposal or wedding planned since I was a kid, but I’ve always known I wanted a harpist there—you literally made my dream come true! The music was so lovely, and you coincidentally played several of my favorite pieces of music (“Moon River”, “And I Love Her”). I think my friend Greg put it best when he said “it felt like I was in a movie” after you left!” – Barton Robison (I played the harp while he proposed to his boyfriend!)
