Harry and his team were extraordinary. He was a pleasure to work with every step of the way and his group was wonderful. We had asked for a more "rock" oriented song to be written for strings and he coordinated this and performed it beautifully. Would not hesitate to recommend him.
Thank you Harry!

New Orlean's Finest was absolutely wonderful. We had a duo (violin - Harry Hardin and guitar - Scott Parro) at our outdoor ceremony and it was just perfect. Harry was willing to work with me on song selection, gave great suggestions and even offered to track down a uklele for me. He was prompt in responding to emails, super easy to work with and worked really well with all of our other vendors. I highly recommend Harry and New Orleans Finest!

...everyone said the church was beautiful and I think that it was because of your music. The music was so absolutely beautiful and the switch up from the strings to the organ was a wonderful suggestion- so dramatic. Working with you to coordinate was one of the easiest parts of the wedding- in fact, you took that pressure off how things would work at the church.
I will gladly recommend Harry Hardin.

Harry was a pleasure to work with. He even dealt with a slight mix up when the officiant read out of order. His service added the most special touch to our ceremony, and we will never forget it. Worth every penny!

Harry Hardin was a true pleasure to work with and we loved the wedding music which he tailored to our desires. I cannot express my appreciation enough regarding his professionalism and outstanding follow up; that is truly a rare gift and we loved working wih him. He was one of the best vendors we've ever worked with from start to finish. His follow through was so prompt and kind and accurate to a tea! We cannot say enough superlatives about the professional quality of his music and working relationship with us! Ellen Martin

I got many compliments on the ceremony music because of these guys. Harry always answered any of my questions to the best of his ability. He was a great help. I would recommend them to anyone! It was a perfect touch to the ceremony.
The instruments we chose were the violin, cello, trumpet, and piano.

Planning my wedding from out of state required a leap of faith when hiring all of my vendors. Harry was by far the easiest and most responsive of all of the vendors I worked with. He was quick to answer my questions and came up with a wide selection of different song suggestions for me to choose from. We incorporated some Beatles tunes into the ceremony as well and he and his musicians played them all beautifully! We also had a wide variety of musicians and styles to choose from including classical guitar, trumpet, violins, viola, cello, harpist, and more. I ended up going with the classical guitarist, violin, and trumpet and it sounded beautiful!

We truly appreciated how organized and responsive Harry was from the very beginning; he communicated fairly and promptly about your services, and most of all, was very open-minded about our selections. It meant so much to us that he was able to research and provide the guitar and violin arrangement for Tchaikovsky's Pas de Deux, and Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring sounded just perfect. On top of that, our vocalists said that he was amazing to work with on the arrangements for "I'll Cover You" and "Marry Me." We received so much beautiful feedback from our guests about how personal and moving the music was, both vocal and instrumental. Not surprisingly, as we have gone back and watched the video, some of our favorite moments from the ceremony are those that involved the music. We will cherish it for many years to come and want to thank Harry again for helping to make our wedding as beautiful and as touching as we had hoped. Five stars!!!

I loved working with Harry. He put together a very very nice and unique ceremony set (or is it compilation?). He even ordered music sheets for a song that he had not heard of before, and his group played it so beautiful. I would recommend him for any event! He is professional, responsive and works with your budget. I can't say enough good things about him and his talented group.

Harry Hardin was so amazing to work with! He is incredibly talented, helpful, kind, responsive, and accommodating. He emailed us sample music to chose from, which was incredibly helpful. He made suggestions and really was such a pleasure to work with. We were so impressed! The ceremony was just perfect, and we have him to thank for it. We HIGHLY recommend!!!

They are awesome!! Used them for our Ceremony and Rehearsal Dinner. You should use them for your wedding occasion. They were easy to work with and are amazing musicians. I would recommend them to anyone!

New Orleans' Finest Musicians were the perfect match for our wedding. Harry was incredibly prompt and thourough in his replies, and helped us pick the songs when we got a bit "lost" in what we wanted, and how many musicians we'd need (he was not at all focused on selling more, but on what we needed at our venue). Harry helped us put together a great set of songs, which worked beautifully on the day. The musicians turned up early to set up their equipment, and spent time practicing to make sure everything was as it should be. I can highly recommend Harry and his team - they made our ceremony unforgettable (and all our guests teary-eyed). Thank you so much for making our special day complete!

I had always envisioned a string trio for my ceremony, and my search brought me to Harry with New Orleans Finest Musicians. They were absolutely amazing. I received so many compliments from my guests on the music. Harry worked with me more than a year in advance and helped us tailor a music program that fit us perfectly; very professional and helpful. He even helped me find a reception band! Look no further brides, this is your pick!

I had a very small courtyard wedding in the quarter and wanted just a guitarist to play for the ceremony. Harry set us up with John Bagnato. His playing was beautiful and several people in our party commented on how lovely the music was. He even learned a song for our ceremony that was special to us. Harry was responsive to every request and his communication was impeccable. The cost was very reasonable and we would definitely recommend Harry and his musicians to anyone who wants the best.

We absolutely loved the music for the ceremony. Everyone has given us nothing but wonderful compliments about the ceremony music. I got chills during the Ave Maria, and the violin sounded more than amazing. You have no idea how much we'd like to thank you for service and patience on helping us choose the instruments and music. It was all so perfect. Being that I'm the first among my friends to get married, I know I can definitely recommend you for their wedding music!

Harry was a complete pleasure to work with. I had no idea why type of music I wanted and he was incredibly patient and helpful by sending suggestions and actual recordings. I didn't figure it out until the week of the wedding when I asked him to learn music he didn't know. A true professional and gentleman.

Harry helped us arrange music for both our wedding ceremony (a string quartet) and the reception afterwards (a vocalist and band).
Not only was Harry extremely easy to work with, he was able to find just the "sound" we were looking for, and even helped with the music selection for the wedding ceremony.
The vocalist and band he secured for us was Kristina Morales and the Bayou Shufflers. They were fantastic! Everyone loved their music and had a great time dancing throughout the evening.
I give my highest recommendation to Harry, New Orleans Finest Musicians, and Kristina Morales and the Bayou Shufflers.

We can't begin to say enough about Harry Hardin and his musicians! Harry was great to work with throughout our entire planning process. He is so helpful with suggestions,coordinating all the music as well as contacting everyone who would be playing the night of our daughter's wedding. He took care of everything. So easy to get in touch with,and quick to respond to our needs. As for the music at the ceremony, it was fabulous! All of our guests can't stop talking about it! Their music really made the whole ceremony special and unforgetable! We hope to have another event that we can request them to play at because we just couldn't get enough!!!

Harry was so easy to work with, and so flexible in terms of song choices! I did not want typical songs for my ceremony processional and recessional, and he was willing to learn anything that he didn't know. We had Harry and a guitarist, and the music for the ceremony was absolutely beautiful. They knew exactly how to pace the music. They were professional, on time, easy to work with and get in touch with and just so nice! I would recommend them to any bride out there who wants to add a beautiful, special touch to their wedding day! Thank you to Harry and the rest of New Orleans Finest Musicians, you really helped make my special day wonderful!

We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful music you provided at our
daughter's wedding on June 12th, 2011. Your suggestions and help in the planning of the music was
invaluable. You are such an easy person to work with and you were more on top
of things than we were. Please know that we can always be used as a referral
for you.
Many thanks,
Karen and Jeff
