Carol plays a CUSTOM MADE HARP and her harp tone is characterized as WARM, RICH AND FULL SOUND. CAROL'S BEAUTIFUL HARP LOOKS LIKE AN ANTIQUE with tasteful gold leaves and vines painted on the soundboard. Most brides do not realize that AN UNAMPLIFIED HARP IS HARD TO HEAR! Most harpists only play acoustically or run an amp without proper knowledge of EQ resulting in a thin, brittle sound. CAROL PLAYS THROUGH A BRAND NEW AMPLIFIER and has many years of knowledge and experience running sound, thus creating a warm, beautiful, clear harp tone.

  Worst experience ever- unprofessional and negligent
We had a horrible experience with Carol Tatum. She refuses to refund my ~$150 deposit and refuses to learn any new classical repertoire. She missed our first phone meeting on 1/24 (no calls that night) and wanted to reschedule to 2/21 or 2/28 (right before our 3/7 wedding). I emailed my song list on 1/20 and she did not tell me about her inability to play them until 2/15. I had to find a new harpist < 20 days before the wedding. She is unprofessional and negligent, leading to a breach of contract. Please do not book.
  CORPORATE EVENT REVIEW:
Carol was a complete professional! She made sure she was prepared in advance of the event, such as understanding the procedure for set up and understanding exactly what our company wanted for our client party at (Dallas Cowboys) "The Star" venue in Frisco, TX. Carol was very pleasant and everyone at our event enjoyed her presence and her talent. We received several compliments on her performance. Highly recommended!

  BRIDE REVIEW
It (the music) sounded absolutely beautiful! I loved the harp so much! Carol was very accommodating and helpful with my musical requests. She looked professional and wore a color that best matched my vision. All of my guests loved her beautiful music and it was a dream come true for me. It added a sense of whimsy and was very romantic. Carol arrived early to set up and made sure everything was as we wanted it. She also helped me decide the flow of the music with the ceremony so it was perfect! I could not be happier with her services!
  BRIDE REVIEW
Absolutely the best person and musician! Carol was an absolute pleasure to work with and handled all things with grace and professionalism! She plays like an angel yet also does current and other songs you would never expect on harp! She also learned our song for my walk out! I can't express enough how talented and great she is in every aspect! I interviewed a few harpists and God brought her to me! Great story not enough space to tell it! Bottom line- if she's available book her!!!! You will be a happy bride like me. :) I'm happy to give a more detailed reference! Just WOW!!
