Thank you Debra for playing at my wedding on at the Surf Club. The harp music was amazing. My guests were impressed with the ceremony, as you arranged the music perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Everything flowed very well from beginning to end. I would certainly recommend you to future events without hesitation. Thanks again for being apart of our special day.

We were privileged to have Debra Whitman perform at our wedding at the Tarrytown House Estate. She is truly an accomplished musician with an impressive repertoire. Our ceremony was outside on the terrace surrounded by lush greenery, and Debra's harp was central to creating an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. Her interpretations were perfectly nuanced, capturing the emotional essence of the pieces without overt sentimentality. She is an elegant lady and a professional throughout the process. Debra was very receptive to our musical preferences and played our favorites (highlighted by compositions from Satie & Debussy) throughout our cocktail hour. We depended on Debra for our special day and she delivered!-Jinny & Jim C.
