Harpist Krista Strader

There are some fine musicians among the group, as the soloists showed. Especially good were harpist Krista Strader and cellist Leo Gravin on the theme “Tema Per Violoncello Ed Arpa”

~The Sacramento Bee, in review of the Sacramento Metropolitan Orchestra’s performance of Ginastera’s “Variaciones Concertantes”

Krista has been on the preferred vendors list of The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel since 2000. She is the only harpist on our list, as we feel she offers world-class service to our guests, equal to none. She upholds the standards set forth by our resort, arrives on time and takes great pride in providing the highest levels of customer satisfaction. ~George Nickel, Associate Director of Catering, The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

I have worked with Krista numerous times both as a solo harpist and as part of an ensemble. She is a superior musician as well as a very professional part of the team. Krista is always on time, well prepared, and professional in both her appearance and demeanor. It is my great pleasure to recommend harpist Krista Strader to you. ~Barbara Wallace, CSEP, Master Bridal Consultant, Barbara Wallace Weddings

As every bride-to-be knows, dealing with myriad vendors is often the most trying aspect of planning a wedding. But of all the vendors we dealt with, Krista was the most professional and it was also a real pleasure to work with her. She went out of her way to look for sheet music for a couple of songs we really wanted to hear, and cheerfully performed them, saying she was glad to add them to her repertoire. She is a gifted and talented musician. She has a beautiful website where you can listen to sample pieces of music, which we found really helpful. Krista's great appeal lies in her perfect blend of musical talent, warmth, professionalism, total reliability, and inner and outer beauty. Every bride who wants harp music at her wedding should know about Krista! ~Lauren Miranda Gilbert and Bob Johnson, Blue Violet Mansion, Napa 2005

Greetings Krista! The delinquency of this letter is in no way a reflection of how exceptional you are...or a true representation of how extremely thankful we are! YOU made our wedding day such a memorable experience. With such short notice and lack of time on our part, you expedited the service throughout the planning with grace and professionalism. The point in which we knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are a stellar and accomplished person was when you brought us to joyful tears over the phone when you played for us! Throughout the planning process, there was no question that the musical artistry for our ceremony would be extraordinary! We had full trust in you... and you exceeded our every expectation! The most cherished memory shared by all family members was during the prelude music when Steve (Ashley's Father) asked you to play "Stairway to Heaven," and you did! When reminiscing, everyone always raves about how beautiful and talented you are. Having you a part of our wedding day was such an incredible blessing... we cannot thank you enough for your AMAZING presence. You are not only a truly styled musician, but a beautiful person in all you do! Your music became a representation of the delicate and rare experience that only the truest form of love and sincerity can bring. We will never cease to sing your praises! Thank you, Krista...you made our lifetime of memories priceless! Thank you! ~Ashley & Ryan Smith
