    FLAWLESS!!!

    We couldn't have asked for a better harpist than Liska Yamada for our wedding day. From our first conversation, she was professional and responsive, keeping us informed every step of the way in a manner that truly put our minds at ease. What impressed us most was her willingness to learn a brand new song specifically for our ceremony and execute it flawlessly on the day of. Her playing was nothing short of stunning, and the way she coordinated with us showed her dedication to making everything run smoothly. Liska brought such grace and elegance to our celebration, and honestly, it could not have been any better. If we could rate Liska 10000000000 stars, we certainly would! We highly recommend her to any couple in a heartbeat!!

    Great choice!

    I’ve loved the sound of the harp since I was a child, and hiring a harpist was the one splurge I insisted on for our wedding — and I’m so grateful it was Liska Yamada. She was kind, responsive, and incredibly professional. We were running 40 minutes late, and she graciously kept playing without missing a beat, creating a calm and romantic atmosphere for our guests. The weather was very windy, but Liska played through it all with such poise, as if nothing could shake her. Her music was absolutely beautiful and added such an elegant, heartfelt touch to our special day. Thank you, Liska, for your talent, grace, and patience. We’re so grateful to have had you be a part of our celebration!

    Made our ceremony feel like a Ghibli movie

    Liska has been kind, thoughtful, and communicative from the beginning. On our wedding day, Liska was nothing short of amazing - her playing was ethereal and it sounded absolutely gorgeous. She worked with us to adjust the length songs for specific moments and learned new pieces. She made our ceremony sounds like a Ghibli dreamscape and I can't recommend her enough! Thank you Liska!
