Laurie is a dream!

Laurie was an absolute dream to work with! She was professional, extremely talented, and knowledgeable. Laurie helped us understand what was needed for setup and timing for our courthouse ceremony. She had us pick a few pieces for the processionals and recessional, which she wove together seamlessly, and she filled in the rest of the time with her large repertoire of music. I cannot recommend her highly enough! She is wonderful to work with and will make your ceremony beautiful with her music. Thank you Laurie!!!!!
