Wonderful Harpist

Laura worked with me to customize music for my ceremony. She even learned a Taylor Swift song! She was very responsive and clear with her needs for setup. I highly recommend her.

Beautiful music!

Laura was incredibly easy to work with, and while we weren't around for much of her playing… all the guests raved about the enchanting music! She was very familiar with the Gramercy Mansion and played at both the ceremony and cocktail hour. We sent her a list of random songs we liked, and she surprised us with familiarity playing nearly all of them (and was willing to learn the others). She was exactly what we were looking for!

A truly timeless sound! We could not imagine our wedding any other way. Laura set the mood for a lovely afternoon of enjoying the company of family and friends. She is too humble for her unbelievable talent. Check her out on YouTube or on her website. We were sold at the first song.

Laura did an absolutely BEAUTIFUL job at our wedding in May 2017. Her repertoire is excellent and she was so easy to work with! She asked what kind of music we wanted and I just said "impressionist" and she worked with it! She was professional, sweet, and most importantly, played beautifully. HIGHLY recommend her for any event!!

I knew from the moment I got engaged that I wanted to walk down the aisle to a live harp; my Aunt walked down the aisle to one and it is forever ingrained in my heart as the most perfect way to get married. I initially found Laura through a google search and then my wedding planner confirmed that she was amazing. We communicated via email and the process was seamless. I sent her a list of songs from her website and she filled in the “gaps” with similar music for our prelude. While I did not get to meet Laura officially on my wedding day (she only played the ceremony) I will forever remember her music - I walked down the aisle to Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World. Her talent is undeniable and it really made my ceremony perfect. I would instantly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a classic, beautiful way to enter into your wedding ceremony.

Laura was AMAZING at our wedding! The day was such a blur but I knew I didn't have to worry at all about Laura. I gave her a genre of music my husband and I liked and one song for the entrance. She played beautifully and was so professional!

Laura was wonderful and easy to work with. She really made our ceremony and cocktail hour so special. She is an amazing musician, and her harp is as beautiful to look as it is to listen to. It was really such a classy touch to our wedding, and would highly recommend her!

We were married June 3, 2017 in an outside evening ceremony at Mt. Washington Mill - Dye House in Baltimore, Maryland. Laura's sound and presence was perfect for our classic, industrial and urban setting. She plays beautifully and definitely made our ceremony perfect! She also played as guests arrived. I would highly recommend Laura on all levels!

Laura was great! Even while she was in the middle of moving she kept in touch with all the details and planning. She played wonderfully during the ceremony and played some special requests during the reception. The guests were very happy with her rendition of some of our favorites!
