"Dr. Heidi Tims Hernandez is amazing! She is pleasant and fun, and TALENTED! Her pricing includes a consultation at her home and her repertoire is vast! She is even willing to learn your favorites... I am so happy she gave us a mini concert at her home because as the bride, I never actually heard her play at the wedding! But my guests said it was beautiful and were impressed with how lovely the musical selection was. I recommend a harpist to any wedding! And I definitely recommend Heidi. She is truly the best." - bridal review
