    Perfect Harp Music for our Wedding

    I really love harp music, so I was thrilled to learn there’s a wedding harpist in Tucson. Dr. Christine was very easy to work with and learned the three songs we sent to her for our ceremony. Her music was flawless; as soon as she started playing the procession song, I almost started crying. She made our ceremony truly dream-like! I did not get a chance to listen to the cocktail hour music, but I got many comments from guests complementing her music. She was the perfect choice for our wedding. Thank you, Christine!!

    Christine Vivona's reply:

    I was honored to play at your beautiful wedding. Learning your special music for the entrances and exits of the bridal party was awesome because I knew how sentimental those pieces are to you. I loved being a part of your family's special day!

    Dr. Vivona was amazing!

    Dr. Vivona was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! She was great at accommodating every piece we wanted to have played and able to do arrangements of pieces not written for harp. Despite the rain, Dr. Vivona was prepared to play indoors and be hooked up to speakers so her playing could still be heard for the ceremony.

    The most beautiful wedding music

    We hired Christine to play our ceremony. My husband had this dream to have it played by harp and then Christine was listed on our preferred vendors. She’s the sweetest woman you’ll ever meet and we absolutely loved working with her! We went over our song choices and she played samples for us. She showed up early on the day of and it was truly such a magical experience to walk down the aisle to a harp! I highly recommend her, she’ll make your dreams come true on your special day!

    Christine Vivona's reply:

    Oh thank you so much Alecia-it was my honor to play harp for your family's special day! What an amazing place to get married! The weather, the gorgeous autumn leaves as well as the warm guests you had made it an absolutely beautiful setting!

    Arizona's Finest Harpist

    Christine definitely has je ne sais quoi. I cannot fully describe the experience of hearing Christine play other than ethereal and powerful.

    From our first meeting in person, Christine was kind enough to show my husband and I an array of harps, as well as the harp that she takes to weddings for its sound quality. When we expressed that we wanted our songs played for the processional, the kiss, and our private dance at the end of the night, she downloaded the music theory right then and there, and played it for us! I cried then, and I cried happy tears at the end of our wedding.

    Our guests loved hearing Christine play. My mother stated that the guests, "se acaramelaron": To literally become like caramel; ie, become very sweet and tender towards one another in a romantic way, especially based on ambiance and situation. Quite true.

    Notes to couples considering Christine:

    Christine's playing is timeless and elegant, even if a piece is contemporary. Having live music truly sets the mood for your day, and what better way to start your forever with a master of her craft who is truly passionate about her instrument making your day special?





    Christine Vivona's reply:

    Thanks so much for having me play harp at your wedding! I felt my music was very appreciated and was so happy and honored to be a part of this special day! You looked so beautiful and happy!

    The highlight of the ceremony!

    Christine was AMAZING. She truly made our ceremony special. We got many compliments about the harp music during our ceremony. She is the sweetest and has great suggestions. 10/10 would recommend for the price!

    Christine was amazing!

    I knew for a long time that if I were to get married, I wanted a harpist for the ceremony music. When the time came and I found Christine, she exceeded all my expectations. When we met at her home, she was so gracious and we ended up selecting all the ceremony music. She was open to learning any songs that we wanted that she didn't know (which wasn't an issue as she knew all that we wanted), and had some great ideas for adding a couple of Irish songs as that meant a lot to my husband. On the day of the wedding, Christine was so professional and kind.
    Our guests loved her music, as we did as well, and received so many compliments. There are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding, and hiring Christine was one of our best decisions. Thank you Christine - you made our day so special with your beautiful music!

    Breathtaking!

    Working with Dr. Vivona was so much fun. We were planning our wedding from 1,500 miles away and couldn't meet with Dr. Vivona in person, so Dr. Vivona played samples of her music to us over the phone. Dr. Vivona's music was so moving that it gave our guests the goosebumps. She added such an elegant touch to our outdoor ceremony. Don't think twice about booking Dr. Vivona - I promise, you will not regret it.

    Christine Vivona's reply:

    Oh it was such a pleasure playing harp for your beautiful wedding! Thank you for having me be a part of your special day!

    Beautiful music on our wedding day! Christine provided us with a harp and also brought a violin player with her by our request. Our wedding was unique and wouldn’t have been the same without her music. We would use her again in a heartbeat.

    Our wedding date isn’t scheduled yet, but we met Christine at a bridal fair and she was wonderful! I’ve been recommending her to everyone who’ll listen to me. Her ratings are perfect and I wanted to contribute giving her 5 stars in everything. I’m sure she’ll be the star at our wedding and wouldn’t like to be selfish, please everyone hire her already!

    We have hired Christine Vivona to provide wedding ceremony music, for two separate weddings here in Tucson over the past few years, with the most recent one on April 2, 2016. Christine is a true professional to work with. She was very accommodating to the specific music we wanted for this last ceremony. The quality of her music is second to none. We had nothing but rave reviews on her performance, appearance and professionalism. Thank you Christine for a wonderful event.

    Christine met with us at her house and played a few selections that she normally played and asked us if we had any special requests. We made a very specific request for a song by Coldplay and while it was not the easiest song to learn she did that and played it flawlessly along with a violin accompaniment. Everyone of our guests complemented us on the beauty of her music. We really enjoyed her music before, during and after the ceremony and would recommend her to anyone.

    Couldn't have been more pleased in Christine's professionalism and performance. I selected a specific song to be played while walking down the aisle. The harp and the added in violin played amazingly. Thank you!

    Christine is wonderful! She played songs both before and during the wedding, including songs for entrances, exits, and our sand ceremony. She even included a CD of the songs that we requested for the wedding! She is very professional and works out all of the details on her own (where to set up, equipment needed for the venue, schedule for the day, etc.) which meant that we had nothing to worry about for our big day. She was also very accommodating with our song requests- we wanted one for our sand ceremony that she hadn't played before, and she was more than happy to get a copy for us. I would definitely recommend her, and her prices are similar to other harpists we found in the area. Well worth it, and our guests loved her as well!

    There is something about a harp that makes a wedding, or in our case- a wedding reception, come together. Christine proved this by performing beautifully, laying an amazing and welcoming foundation for our event.

    Christine Vivona was a highlight of our celebration. Her professionalism, expertise, variety of music played, and her kind and generous soul were top notch. Her repertoire is extensive so we enjoyed a wide range of pieces. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Christine for any event. She absolutely won't disappoint!

    Amazing harpist. Made our ceremony and cocktail hour so elegant, and that much better. She was very flexible with prices (adding a violinist or subtracting him for an extra hour of music). Definitely recommend her for anyone who wants that added touch on their day.

    We first heard Dr. Christine Vivona play at a Bridal Expo. We went by and it was breathtaking beautiful. We had always considered your normal singing or organ player for the church ceremony. After we heard Mrs. Vivona play at the expo, we couldn't get the harp music out of our minds. After contacting her it was very easy and she was very knowledgeable with our request for our wedding ceremony.

    On our wedding day, the guests entered to the sound of a beautiful harpist playing. The ceremony was breathtaking as the harpist played. Our guest have not stopped commenting on how original and beautiful the harp was played by Mrs. Vivona.

    I highly recommend Dr. Christine Vivona, Harpist for any event. If you look at her website you can hear all the music she plays.

    Christine provided fantastic ceremony and cocktail hour music! From our inital sit down where we were able to pick music that would be played at the ceremony, I was totally blown away with how comfortable she was to work with. The day was perfect, and the music was absolutely perfect, thank you Christine!

    Christine played the harp for our church ceremony and reception in Tubac Arizona on October 22, 2010. At the consultation she had my fiance and I in aww and tears. She's soo skilled and talented at playing the harp. Made my entrance come to life and the realism made me burst into tears as I walked down the aisle after I told myself I wouldn't be one of those girls. Hard not to when you have such beautiful music playing. Thanks Christine for everything, one of the few things that seemed to go right at my wedding. Will spread the word..;0)
