Nichole is a brilliant, professional, and creative musician. She brought magic to our wedding ceremony, and I'm so grateful to her.
We were so incredibly lucky to have Nichole perform at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on 10/19/24! Back in January, our venue hosted a food tasting event for all the 2024 ...
couples to meet fabulous reliable vendors, and Nichole happened to be there playing her harp. My husband and I love movie/T.V scores and video game music, so as soon as we heard Nichole playing songs from Final Fantasy, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and Legend of Zelda, we knew we wanted to hire her right away! Nichole worked hard to create a song list for our wedding ceremony that was personalized for us. Our guests raved about how beautiful and unique her music was! If you are looking to add a little something extra to your special day, then please book Nichole for your next event! You won't regret it. Thank you Nichole! <3

e and she is extremely accommodating to requests. She was able to play all of our requested tracks and it brought such a personal touch to the ceremony.
Everyone at the event loved her performance. Nichole is professional, organized, and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a beautiful addition to your event, look no further!

erself without issue, which is just impressive.
From classical to contemporary, the only reason you won't hire her is because you're crazy. Go on, click her link :)

chole ahead of the wedding was so simple and she even learned a new song for us with no question. We also streamed our wedding live and the music still sounded incredible!
I wrote the Flute-Viola-Harp trio "Sandcat Lullaby" as a surprise birthday gift for my wife. Nichole arranged for her friends (Jennifer Gosack-Darwell, Flute; Colleen Kuraszek, Vio...
la) to join her, and handled all the logistics.
Normally we would have invited them to our home, but circumstances dictated a remote performance. All the same, Nichole, Jen and Colleen dressed for the concert hall – just one more mark of their all-around professionalism. Their enthusiasm for the piece is greatly appreciated, and their performance was excellent; all that a composer could wish for. My hope is that someday we can arrange for a high-quality recording for release.
So it was a joyous event! I’m recommending Nichole, Jen and Colleen without reservation. I’d work with any of them again, anytime. Each of them will enhance any event you can conjure. I hope we will have other occasions to work together.
