Thank you Leah!

Leah was great to work with. I loved that her website had samples to listen to and choose from. Her beautiful harp music was exactly what we wanted and made our day feel so special. It was perfect for our ceremony and cocktail hour. She is very responsive and professional. Thank you!

To say that the music that Leah creates with her harp is great would be the largest understatement! The music that Leah creates is the most amazing and beautiful sound and we are so happy to have found her. Leah provided a fantastic repertoire for our Catholic Church wedding and our guests had nothing but positive things to say about her. It was so great working with a harpist who was familiar with how a mass went and she went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect. We definitely recommend Leah The Upstate Harpist to anyone who is in need of a musician for their special day!

If I could give Leah 1,000 stars, I would.... She was absolutely amazing to work with and went above and beyond for us! After having some communication issues with our Deacon about our ceremony program, Leah stepped right in and rectified everything and I did not have to worry about a thing! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a professional yet personable performer for any type of event, especially your wedding!! Thank you so much Leah, you were truly amazing

I always dreamed of having a harp play at my wedding, and Leah made it possible. It was a perfect addition to help capture the moment and the church sounds beautiful. It added uniqueness and a sense of serenity to our special day. She also have such a variety of songs choices and music styles to choose from. She is incredibly talented and we are so luck to have found her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for ceremony music.

Leah is amazing! The harp is such an elegant and beautiful touch to a ceremony. For me this was one of my favorite aspects of the wedding. Leah is great because she is open to learning music and incorporates modern songs into her portfolio. We even kept the harpist through cocktail hour and it added some elegant background music while people chat and munch. Several people commented to me on how they truly enjoyed the harp.

Leah did a great job with our wedding ceremony music. It sounded beautiful and we got a lot of compliments from our guests on it. Leah was very easy to work with and flexible. She played a mix of music before the ceremony and then did a great job with the songs we picked out for the entrance, exit and ceremony itself. We had a fairly cold outside day (58ish degrees) and our ceremony started 25 min later than planned. Leah played during the entire time the guests were waiting so a huge thanks to her! Highly recommend!

I was looking for an elegant and classical musician for our pre-ceremony, ceremony and cocktail hour and when I on Leah's website www.upstateharpist.com I instantly knew that she was exactly what I was looking for. She had a wide selection of songs which allowed me to personalize my pre reception entertainment. The problem I had was the songs were all so beautiful I had quite a difficult time making my choices. Leah is amazing and I would highly recommend her for any occasion

I enjoyed working with Leah, she was willing to try something new and it was amazing, she was easy to talk to, responded quickly to emails and calls and provided a service that people still talk about from our special day. I have recommended her to several friends and plan on working with her again in the future.

The Upstate Harpist AKA Leah was amazing! My husband and I wanted our wedding ceremony to be romantic and although the church would have provided us with an organist we wanted our ceremony music to be softer than an organ. Leah did a fantastic job, the harp sounded great in the church and was exactly what my husband and I envisioned. Leah is easy to work with, professional and thorough. I would highly recommend her services.
