"Ted was easy to work with, prompt and communicated
well in making plans for his performance. Everyone
enjoyed his music very much and felt he was a classy
addition to our Holiday Party" |

"Ted was great! Very conscientious, courteous and
easy to work with. He showed up timely, and played very
well. I would recommend Ted to anyone looking for a
harpist. Every part of the experience was a joy. Ted is
the consummate professional, looks the part, and sounds
great while performing. I am glad he was a part of the
wedding day. Thanks again Ted!" |

"Not only is Ted Nichelson kind, and professional,
he is extremely talented. My wedding was so beautiful,
and would not have been so elegant had I not hired Ted.
I am and will forever be grateful to Ted for the
outstanding performance he gave at my ceremony and
pre-reception. I will always recommend him. Thank you
Ted." |
