As the owner of Heavenly Harps of Hawaii, I present the most elegant harp music available on Maui. As a symphony pedal harpist who has been classically trained, I offer you the opportunity to have a premier harpist providing exquisite music for your event.

Not all harps are created equal. You will find many harpists on Maui providing harp music on small Celtic harps or “concert” lever harps. I play a full size gold symphonic pedal harp. I am also the only trained harpist on Maui who provides vocals while playing my harp.

“Celia: we always know that we can trust in your integrity and high standards of service and quality, thank you for this. I had a bride tell me she never realized how beautiful the harp would sound and my response was that Celia is incredible and we are so lucky to have her as a musician on this island.”
-Carin Seim, Wedding Manager
Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea

I am proud to be the first-call harpist for the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea--Hawai'i's only Mobil Five Star and AAA Five Diamond Resort. That alone speaks of the quality I consistently provide to my clients, whether they are getting married or holding a corporate event at the Four Seasons, Maui Prince, Kea Lani, the Kapalua Ritz-Carlton, the Resorts on Lanai, or in a private home, club, spectacular beach setting, or even a sailboat! I have been playing professionally for weddings & special events since 1990 at these venues and more.

Whether you’re here to celebrate the wedding day you’ve always dreamed of, hold an intimate vow renewal at a resort, or host an amazing event for your corporate party, my music can enhance your Maui experience. To set the tone for your event, you want the best musicians on Maui-- My colleagues and I are those musicians.  We are professional musicians who have played for thousands of events and who have developed the expertise from many years of study and application on the instrument you are hiring us to perform. We know how to fine-tune the music to suit your ambience, your requests, your minister, your age group of guests or employees. As in any arena of life, there is no substitute for quality: experience, knowledge, finesse, and elegance. This quality sounds through the music you will experience when you hire me or our group of music professionals.

My deep love of music and dedication to quality and integrity of the complete music-making process sets me apart from other harpists. I own a large size gold symphonic pedal harp. This beautiful instrument allows me to project a harp’s full rich sound to a greater number of people at increased distance than would be possible with a smaller harp. I can do this with or without the aid of amplification and this kind of harp gives me the flexibility to provide my clients with a much wider variety of repertoire played with integrity.  

For weddings, parties, corporate events, and dinners for two I offer solo music or specially arranged ensembles, duos, trios, quartets, and more. I work with only the best, most well trained musicians on Maui. My most popular requests are to play with my violinist, or with my fabulous quartet of cello, violin, flute and harp. 

"I want to thank you so much for playing and singing at our wedding. You really added such a special touch. Many people commented on how beautifully you sang."
-Patricia & Jean-Pierre-

My specialty is sensing in the moment the particular needs of my clients and providing music that forever becomes a part of your lasting memory of the special occasion, whether that be a wedding, vow renewal, celebration or corporate gathering. My repertoire focuses on the lovely and accessible classics and the most beautiful popular love songs, standards, folk songs, and sacred tunes.

"Your beautiful music added so much to our wedding ceremony. Thank you!!"
-Treena & Barry-

One of my favorite instruments is the Glass Harp or Glass Armonica. I have the only one in the Hawaiian Islands. It is a rare and beautiful instrument. 

“As captivating as the sounds of her harp are, they are almost eclipsed by her glass armonica and its strange, brief history.”
-Jerome Kellner, Maui Island Weekly
