    Breathtaking performance

    Wow. Lauren is an amazing harpist. When I walked down the aisle the way she played the music made me feel so magical. Take this as your sign to hire her as live music. Thank you Lauren again you were beautiful and an amazing part to our wedding.

    Absolutely Made Our Wedding

    We unfortunately had to throw a last-minute wedding due to an illness in our family. She absolutely made our wedding so beautiful everyone kept talking about how amazing the music was. We got married in a beautiful rose garden and she really set the mood of elegance for our guests. She was very easy to communicate and work with even though our event was last minute.

    My favorite part of our wedding

    Lauren was an absolute dream to work with -- responsive, kind, and extremely talented. She was able to accommodate a song request for my processional that wasn't on her song list, which I greatly appreciated. Once I booked with Lauren, ceremony music was one of the few things I never had to stress over -- she was always so calm and helpful, which was remarkable considering I got married in the middle of COVID. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!

    Ethereal, Transformative Wedding Musician

    I feel so lucky to have found Lauren to play the harp for my smaller wedding ceremony. She was poised and professional throughout the whole process. She truly listened to us carefully and planned well to play meaningful songs at just the right moments. Everyone who attended the live (and virtual) ceremony gave the highest compliments the music. I was hopeful for a soft, romantic vibe for the wedding and she elevated the moment beyond my wildest dreams. Throughout our dinner, she was incredibly professional and just seems like such a nice person as well! Thank you so much to Lauren!

    Beautiful music from a talented, professional musician!

    Lauren was absolutely wonderful! We found her at the Bridal Expo back in 2019 when we could all be in an open spaces close together ;) Lauren was always responsive, professional, and such a joy to work with. She also worked with our Cantor to provide music for our Jewish ceremony. We just watched the video of our one year anniversary a couple weeks ago, and Lauren's music sparked such warm memories of the day. Thank you so much Lauren for helping set the tone for our ceremony!

    Excellent service, amazing talent.

    I have used Lauren 3 times, in the restaurant I managed, a birthday party, and my Wedding. It was such a privilege to have such amazing talent that would do these events for me. I hope we can have her more.

    Beautiful experience

    My husband and I had a small, intimate wedding this summer and we hired Lauren to play for our ceremony. I really wanted to personalize our ceremony music and surprise my husband with some of our favorite songs. Lauren took the time to learn them and even sent me audio clips so that I could hear what it would sound like beforehand. Having a live harpist at our ceremony was one of the best decisions we made. It completely set the mood and made it so much more special. She is extremely talented and skilled, and has so much background in harp (she has a master’s degree in it!). She is super professional and such a great person to work with. If you are considering a harpist for your event, Lauren is the best! I would highly recommend her.

    Lauren is amazing!

    Lauren was so great! She responded quickly, she is talented and she is so sweet. We even had some crazy requests and she fulfilled all of them and made our day so special! We had asked her to learn a few new songs and she did, and at no extra charge! She is really great and we would definitely recommend her! You won't be disappointed!

    Fantastic Wedding Harpist

    We hired Lauren as a harpist for our wedding ceremony, and absolutely loved working with her! She was incredibly helpful from start to finish, and we really appreciated being able to meet up with her and hear a selection of her work before deciding to hire her. Lauren was very flexible in terms of music choice, and accepts song requests that she is happy to learn in advance of your big day.

    I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a harpist for their wedding!

    Talented, Tasteful, and Professional Harpist

    Lauren was an absolute joy to work with. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and flexible during our planning phase which took a tremendous amount of stress away from the live music portion of our wedding. We also loved her professionalism and enthusiasm on our big day. Because of her talent and skill as a harpist, we wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her to our friends and family. If you are on the fence about having a harp at your wedding, take it from us that you absolutely should (and the person you should book is Lauren!).

    Her amazing harp music was the perfect frame for our ceremony

    If you're looking to add some elegance to your wedding ceremony or reception in an affordable way, you need to check out Lauren!

    Lauren played for our pre-ceremony, processional, and recessional at our wedding on December 8, 2018. For $350 for an outdoor wedding, it was one of our best investments make our ceremony feel classy and personalize the music choices. Our guests are STILL talking to us about how beautiful the music was :)

    Lauren is not only an excellent harpist, she is responsive, has an ever-growing and wide repertoire of songs (from hymns to classical to pop, and even some geeky/more obscure pieces), and is just a lovely person to work with. She even learned a new piece for us so that we could walk as Mr. and Mrs. to our favorite Studio Ghibli movie theme.

    I can't thank her enough for her services, and I hope more couples in the greater Sacramento region discover how wonderful she is!

    Beyond Happy

    I found Lauren through Instagram and couldn’t be more thrilled with how our ceremony went! She played a lot of songs that had cultural significance to us as a Pakistani Muslim couple, and the guests enjoyed the songs a lot as well. Thank you again, Lauren, for making our day so special!

    Simply the best

    I cannot possibly express in a review how amazing Lauren is but I'll do my best. She was easy to work with from planning through execution. She communicated clearly in all aspects, including a very concise contract. She plays so beautifully; it was a 100th birthday party and she hit all the songs this age group loves and remembers. She dresses impeccably. She was gracious in taking time to talk with the guest of honor who also played the harp many, many years ago. This meant the world to the birthday girl and to our family. Many of the guests asked how we found this special person, she just shines in every way. Thank you Lauren!

    The perfect way to elevate your wedding!

    There is just something so romantic about having a harpist play at a wedding! Lauren was exceptional to work with. Not only did she play beautifully, but she was also very easy and friendly to communicate with. I would highly recommend booking with her for your wedding day or other event!

    Fabulous All The Way Around !! Professional & Elegant!!!

    100 STARS!!! We hired Lauren for my nieces wedding day to play in our home while the bridal party was getting reday. From the moment I contacted Lauren she was an absolute delight to work with. She made the booking process so simple. The day of - Lauren showed up early, looking so beautiful and professional. She has a genuine personality and is very sincere. Everyone loved her style and taste of music. She has a way of just fitting in and knowing what to do on a busy day... without any direction. We are very familiar with the harp and have had different harptist play for us. LAUREN IS BY FAR THE VERY BEST!!! She has a magical touch and certainly displays this in her music. Everyone is still talking about how beautiful Lauren's music was and her exceptional talent. We can't wait to have another event... to have Lauren with us. Thank you Lauren for making Kristina and Arman's wedding day so special.

    Beautiful Music!

    Lauren played her large harp outdoors under a willow tree as all the guests were walking in and enjoying a glass of champagne. She then played throughout our ceremony as we walked down the aisle and exited into our cocktail hour. She is such an incredible musician, very professional and it was just a lovely way to start off our wedding with really pretty magical harp music playing. I am so happy she was able to play for our wedding and I cannot recommend her more highly.

    Phenomenal


    I remember the first time I heard Lauren play at the wedding expo years ago, I knew for sure when I got married i wanted her to play at my wedding. Not only was she phenomenal at playing the harp but the process in planning and organizing my list of songs was a smooth and easy process. When I walked down the aisle to my wedding song “All of Me” the same emotions I felt years ago filled my heart again as I saw my husband waiting for me this time. I would book Lauren a million times over. Thank you so much!

    I couldn’t recommend Lauren more! She is super affordable and is an amazing musician! Everyone at our wedding loved that we had a harp for the ceremony! She worked with us to pick the songs and sent us samples to listen to. She even learned a whole new song just for us! She’s so talented!

    Lauren Sharkey is “The Harpist” for your wedding.

    Lauren is an experienced, passionate Harpist who plays the harp beautifully, offers a wide repertoire and is open to learning specific songs you may wish to include in your wedding.
    Lauren “set the tone” in elevating our wedding ceremony, from the prelude to the recessional, from being “special” to becoming “unforgettable”. Lauren understood that we wanted our harp selections to complement the overall vision we had for our wedding ceremony and worked with us to create an eclectic mix of harp selections that appealed to all musical tastes. The result? A truly lovely, memorable, moving and unique ceremonial soundtrack, one we, and our guests, are still talking about.
    With thanks for playing your harp so beautifully, looking so elegant and being such a lovely presence at our wedding. Lauren, you are the best!
