Laurel is an absolute gem and a true artist! Having her play at our wedding and cocktail hour was one of the highlights of our special day. From start to finish, Laurel was everything we could have hoped for and more – responsive, polite, and an absolute joy to work with.
Her communication throughout the planning process was flawless. She was always prompt in responding to our questions and incredibly accommodating when it came to song requests or any adjustments we needed. Her professionalism and warm demeanor made us feel completely at ease, knowing we were in the best hands.
On the day of the wedding, Laurel’s performance was nothing short of breathtaking. The music she played was beautiful and created the perfect ambiance for our ceremony and cocktail hour. So many of our guests commented on how enchanting her harp playing was – it truly added a touch of magic to the day.
We feel so lucky to have had Laurel as a part of our wedding and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to elevate their event with stunning live music. If you’re considering a harpist, and I strongly consider you do, Laurel is exceptional!

Laurel is an incredibly talented harpist with a great repertoire of all types of songs. She has samples on her website that you can pick from that helped me choose a song. I hired her for my proposal to my fiancé. It was on a rooftop in downtown Dallas. She was easy to communicate with via text and was promptly on time with no issues. Very affordable for a quick event like this only needing a few songs. We hope to include her in our wedding celebration as well. Highly Recommend for any event!

We Hired Laurel to play at our wedding. She played during the ceremony and for the cocktail hour. It was MAGICAL! I loved her music, and it felt very special walking down the aisle to the sound of her lovely Harp. She adjusted according to my walking speed so it flowed very well. Laurel was great about being in contact with me throughout the entire booking process. She even learned a song to play in honor of my grandmother. We highly recommend Laurel! :)

She was perfect. I wanted a harpist for a little over a year to perform while I walked down the aisle. Super pleased. She sounded heavenly, and when I asked for her to be in formal wear, she didn’t blink. Easy to work with.

Laurel was fantastic to work with. She was prompt with her replies, open to suggestion, and a super talented harpist!!! We also made some last minute changes to our ceremony music and she made those adjustments for us without problem. We had Beatles themed ceremony music, canon, can’t help falling in love with you- we received so many compliments from our guests about the music. She even stayed afterwards and played while family were taking pictures! So talented! Five stars & A+++

I hired Laurel as a harpist for my wedding ceremony. We wanted to hire all small business owners for our wedding vendors and Laurel was good. She showed up on time and played for our wedding ceremony. It was an outdoor wedding (Dallas Arboretum) so it was hard to find musicians who would fit in a remote, garden setting. A harp was perfect for the setting and Laurel did well.

Laurel (harp) and Mary (flute) were amazing. Laurel met with us to go over music at her home and we were able to choose everything. She took the time to work with us and was so incredibly kind. We received so many compliments on the ceremony music - absolutely beautiful!
