Krista is the best!
I have worked with Krista for many years and in many venues and can give her my highest recommendation! As a wedding officiant, I know how important it is to have a musician who is not only professional but easy to work with. Krista is one of the best harpists I've ever heard and is a total joy to be around. Her clients love her. And so do I.
Krista Strader - Would recommend!
My wedding was in September 2020 in Napa and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had hired Krista last minute to play on the harp. She plays wonderfully and beautifully. She played us a variety of classical and modern pop songs during the ceremony and during cocktail hour. She was very accommodating when I had asked her to play a classical song that was not on her website. Her beautiful music really added a magical touch to our wedding day. Thank you Krista! I would recommend her to anyone looking to add music to their ceremony.
Professional, Graceful & Elegant
Krista was wonderful to work with from our very first inquiry with her through her musical services at our wedding. She was responsive and provided clear communications. We love that she had so many music samples to choose from and was also so open to our music preferences. Krista arrived on time and she set herself up and performed like the pro that she is. She played beautifully. Her performance added so much elegance to the event. We are so happy that Krista was a part of our wedding.
Krista is amazing
Krista was wonderful to work with on our wedding. She followed strict guidelines for the pandemic (social distancing, masks, sanitizing, etc) so we felt very comfortable. More importantly, her playing is top shelf. Checking out her website gives you an idea of her repertoire, which includes anything from classical to contemporary pop. However, hearing her play the harp live in person is truly beautiful, the website does not do her justice. She played perfectly and elegantly. Krista is professional, easy-to-work with, and cordial.
