    Harpist Krista Strader was a wonderful addition to our wedding day. From our first interactions, she was kind & prompt in her communication, making the booking process smooth and easy. On the day of the wedding, her performance was absolutely beautiful - the lovely harp music set the perfect tone for our ceremony. Krista provided everything we wanted and more, and many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed her elegant playing. We would highly recommend Krista Strader to any couple looking for a skilled and professional harpist to make their wedding day extra special.

  • We love working with Krista!

    The Mountain Terrace has had the privilege of working with Krista Strader on so many weddings over the years. Not only is she incredibly talented and experienced, her warm and friendly presence on wedding days make her a dream to work with! She’s always prepared and communicates with us in advance so that all details are worked out. And her extensive repertoire is simply amazing! We can’t recommend her highly enough!

  • The best!

    We hired Kristy to provide music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She was amazing and so easy to work with - would highly recommend her to anyone looking for live music for their wedding! The next day, we had family come up to us to say they felt they had been transported to a wedding straight out of a movie because of the harp music!

  • 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.
