"Dear Devon, Thank you so much for entertaining my Foster Grandparent group at Honker's Restaurant on November 13, 2009! Many of the Foster Grandparents commented that they enjoyed listening to your beautiful harp music during the opening stage of our Recognition Brunch...and I am still receiving comments on your wonderful musical presentation almost two weeks later. Additionally, I appreciated your thoughtfulness as you stopped playing as I was doing introductions and announcements to our volunteer group. Thank you for your talent and for agreeing to play on such short notice."

“Being a landmark hotel on the National Register of Historic Places, we are quite picky about everything and everyone we bring into our building -- especially for Easter Brunch. With more than 650 people attending, it is a big annual event for us. Devon not only met but exceeded our every expectation. We received nothing but the highest compliments from everyone -- including our own staff! It is our honor to recommend her without exception.”
Kay, Hotel Baker – April 12th, 2009

She is very, very, very talented and really classed up the event. Devon arrived on time, proved to be very flexible and open to sudden changes. She managed her instrument with incredible ease and played with absolute perfection. I look forward to hiring and hearing her for my next event. Thanks!”

“Beautiful music! Devon was the harpist for my ceremony and did a great job! I was quite vague with my needs for the ceremony, and she did a great job of selecting music that was perfect! I live in MI, and she in IN so we never met and did all coordination through email - this worked out real well and Devon is extremely responsive and reliable! Devon really did a great job and everyone loved her performance!”
Jackie, Bride – June 7th, 2008
“We had a cello and a harpist for our ceremony. Devon arranged and practiced with the cello player before the wedding. She helped us select the music which we went with classical music which helped with the mood of our romantic timeless wedding. We did not have to have appointments or deal with major details in the selection of choosing Devon. She truly made her end effortless! Loved it!!"

George, Retirement Party – July 22nd, 2007
“Devon, You did a beautiful job at our wedding on Saturday! Things got switched around on us at the last minute (no one told us they didn't close the Conservatory to the public during our wedding and we would only get a small chunk of it!), attendants missed their cues, etc, but your music made it so special, it all went off as though perfectly planned. I'm glad you decided to play during the ceremony, it helped offset the noise in the background! It was a magical day overall, and I wish I'd had a chance to thank you at the time, and tell you how much we appreciated your contribution. Here's a great picture of you, I may send more if we get more from another camera, this is just the best one from ours. Thanks again, we will recommend you to anyone we know that's in need of a fantastic musician!”
Penny, Bride – July 7th, 2007
“Devon was very helpful and accommodating through our planning process. We were at the park early for photos and had assigned several groomsmen to assist her when she arrived - but she was already there and set up! Her graceful presence and beautiful music was astonishing! The music filled the park like a symphony, and the timing of all the songs were perfect! My only regret is that we did not have a video camera dedicated solely for her performance. We cannot express our appreciation and admiration for Devon enough! Thank You so much!!!!!”
