Laurie was beyond-the-charts excellent at our Wedding, she truly made our vision come true! From excellent communication from the beginning, scheduling a call to get an idea of what we’d like for our day, to providing music choices to help us select songs, and executing perfection during our ceremony and reception was just a couple things that made our experience so great! She was honestly the easiest vendor for us to book. She has her own music and also offered to learn any songs that she didn’t know that we would like. Additionally, Laurie is so sweet and so kind, and will literally go the extra mile—or extra 900 miles in our case— as she played at a Wedding in Minnesota the day before our wedding, and drove OVERNIGHT 900 miles to Colorado to play at our wedding the very next afternoon. Incredible and second to none. Her music is flawless. Our guests are STILL raving about her beautiful harp music 4 months later, and many of us have sought out Laurie’s performances around town in MN just to listen more! I would book her again in a heartbeat! Thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect, Laurie!
Laurie did a beautiful job playing the harp for my daughter’s wedding. She was so easy to work with and accommodating on their music choices! She even played songs she had to learn especially for them! It made the wedding so special. So many people commented on how beautiful it was to have the harp played during the ceremony. Highly recommend Laurie to make your day memorable!
Laurie was fantastic to work with and the music at our ceremony was perfect. Would highly recommend.
Any questions?
Laurie was absolutely wonderful to work with and she made all of our wedding ceremony dreams come to life. She was so accommodating and was willing to work with us as much as we needed leading up to the wedding day. She is SO talented and made our ceremony extra special! I would recommend Laurie over and over again!!
Laurie, our harpist, was amazing! She played so beautifully, making my daughters wedding the most beautiful day! It was elegant and romantic and the sound carried across the crowd. We also enjoyed her playing over dinner! She can play anything from pop to rock to classical! I highly recommend her!!!
Laurie Leigh was the harpist at my son’s wedding over Memorial weekend. She played during the ceremony as they walked down the aisle and also during the reception. Laurie is so talented and customizes the music requests to the bride and groom. She is able to take current songs that are meaningful to the couple and recreate them with the harp. Her music adds such elegance to the event. She uses an amplifier so that everyone can easily hear her plunking the strings. I highly recommend hiring Laurie for your special event - everyone will remember how lovely the music was!
Laurie was such an amazing addition to our wedding! She is so talented and was willing to play any song I asked! She chatted with me several times throughout my year of wedding planning and was willing to make any changes necessary for the big day! I highly recommend hiring Laurie for your wedding!
I cannot say enough good things about Laurie Leigh and her incredible harp skills. I mean....first and foremost she is amazingly talented and her beautiful music was the PERFECT addition to our wedding ceremony. But beyond that she was also just such a pleasure to work with. She was kind and compassionate and was so congratulatory and you could tell she genuinely wanted to be a part of our special day and she wanted to do whatever she could to ensure it was unique to us and what we wanted. To that end, she bared with my numerous emails and inquiries about this and that song and she provided perfect recommendations and even took on a new song for us that she now has included in her overall repertoire. I would recommend Laurie for absolutely ANY event and I'd give my personal guarantee that she will be a shiny star of your event. We felt really lucky to have been able to book her and she lived up to all our hopes and then some. Thank you, Laurie, for being a part of our special day and making it even more special because of your talents. :)
Laurie is an absolute GEM! She was able to play at our wedding! She played when the guests came in, when we had the grand march, and the receiving line. She even played quietly through the ceremony so its not quiet, but just beautiful ambient music. She was super communicative, very friendly, and wanted us to hear her play before we made our final decision and let us hear her play at a craft show. I couldnt say no. Her smile is radiating and her professionalism is outstanding. She also helped us figure out what songs to play and even our grand march song. She played through the phone and made sure I liked it all. Loved working with her.
Laurie was absolutely fantastic! Adding harp music was such a unique part of our wedding ceremony and so many people raved about it. Laurie was also so easy to work with, on time, and dependable. 🤍
The definition of the ideal wedding vendor starts and stops with Laurie Leigh. Her mastery of her instrument is immediately apparent from her lengthy list of known songs, her willingness to play them on the spot to help us choose our playlist, and her ability to learn any requested song that we would like to be included. When booking wedding vendors, one of the most important traits is flexibility. Laurie demonstrated this many times and has the ability to lengthen and shorten songs as she is performing to seamlessly follow the flow of the wedding. On top of all of this, Laurie is simply a treat to interact with. Her friendliness and joyful demeanor are contagious and exactly the type of energy you want to contribute to your big day. 10/10 recommend that you ask Laurie to play for your event, you will be glad you did!
I did a ton of research, worked with a bunch of vendors for my wedding- and trust me when I say that working with Laurie was a breeze! Not to mention, she plays so beautifully! You can feel that she cares when she talks to you. So accommodating, professional, a true joy to work with. She’s at the top of my list for people I’d love to have to opportunity to work with again
Laurie Leigh is and amazing harpist. She truly made our special day even more memorable.
I highly recommend her for any and all events. 💕.
We absolutely loved Laurie Leigh! She was very professional and communicated with us plenty before our big day. She eased all our nerves about it being a garden wedding and handle the day of events tremendously. From planning to originate some classics to learning a new song for our first dance, she was great to work with. The day of she adapted to all our uncertainties (weather) and gave wonderful tips to changing our timeline/plans for outdoor cocktail hour. She was super nice to our little boys with showing them her harp and worked with the other vendors (dj and photography) for our first dance moved inside. I would highly recommend and would love to repeat that day with her again a part of it!
Laurie Leigh played beautifully at my daughter’s wedding. I highly recommend Laurie for a wedding or special event.
Laurie Leigh is a fabulous Harpist! She played at my daughter’s wedding ceremony and during the reception cocktail hour. The music was absolutely beautiful and the guests continue to rave about Laurie the Harpist weeks and months following the wedding. Laurie is a delight to work with from booking the date, her insights and flexibility working with the couple on song selection, and her travels to the destination wedding. I highly recommend Laurie Leigh for wedding or other events.
Laurie was wonderful! She helped my daughter and her then fiancee pick out music for their ceremony. The music made the ceremony that much more special. It was lovely and all the guests were talking about how beautiful the harp music was!
We hired Laurie to play for our wedding (ceremony and cocktail hour) and we absolutely enjoyed working with her! She made it very easy to pick out what songs we wanted and she played them all beautifully. She was also very quick to respond to any questions we had. I would definitely recommend her!
We chose Laurie to play at our wedding (ceremony and cocktail hour) and she was absolutely amazing! The music was so elegant and multiple guests commented on how beautifully she played. She made our day so magical and I would absolutely recommend her to future brides!
Laurie is a true professional and delight to work with.
Her harp music set the perfect tone for our daughter's wedding at The Machine Shop.
Beautiful and Elegant!!!
We would highly recommend her for your next event.
Laurie made our day so incredibly special. She was so communicative and really brought our ceremony to the next level! I had so many guests complimenting her talent. We are forever grateful for her!!!!
Laurie and her music were the perfect touch to our day! She played incredibly beautiful music (including a close-to-my-heart piece) and ended with such great rock songs for our recessional. She can play anything and it sounds beautifully enchanting.
Laurie brought pure magic to the ceremony. Having Laurie’s music welcoming our guests was so beautiful and classy, and her accompaniments were lovely. Laurie is a gifted musician and is a joy to work with. Her smile, her talent, and her beautiful instrument were the icing on the cake.
Planning from afar; my husband and I (from North Carolina) were planning a wedding rehearsal dinner in St. Paul. We blindly selected and interviewed for our event. From the moment Laurie Leigh picked up the phone in response to our inquiry, I knew she was THE ONE for our wedding rehearsal cocktail hour and dinner! Enthusiastic, quick to respond with audio links, song list, and a contract, we were thrilled to book with Laurie. She was prompt and quickly settled in for the event and we - and our guests - were so impressed with the wide variety of songs (everything from Frank Sinatra to Maroon 5)! Equally impressive, Laurie mixed well with our guests when they would ask her questions, or compliment her on her music. Our guests gave us excellent feedback on her music and her bubbly personality - we were thoroughly impressed from beginning to end and would highly suggest Laurie for YOUR event.
Laurie’s communication skills are intuitive and she really cares that your event is the best it can be. She puts her heart into her craft and it makes all the difference in the world. It rained on our wedding day and it didn’t phase her. Laurie has played professionally all over the world and she is very adept and attentive and her musical talents will be an unforgettable memory for your special event, I guarantee it!
Response from the Vendor on 11/04/2021
Oh, Randy! Thank you for your VERY kind review! Yes, I truly do care that each and every event is the best that it can be! I loved celebrating with you and Vicki! And that rain didn't seem to phase you either! Wishing both of you the very best!...
Laurie is incredible. She did the ceremony music for my wedding and I absolutely loved everything about working with her. She is incredibly talented. Wedding days get to be incredibly busy and it was so nice to know that my music was completely taken care of. Laurie just knows what to do and will make sure that everything is exactly as it should be. I simply want to tell every bride out there to hire Laurie. She is talented and knows weddings!!!!!

Jenna - Thank you for this very sweet review! You were such an easy-going bride to work with! I'm glad I could bring some peace and calm to your beautiful wedding day. I hope you and John are doing well! All my best to both of you!
Laurie and her harp are a fantastic addition to any wedding. She was so easy to work with and her songs are BEAUTIFUL. Laurie played while our guests were seating, during the processional, my wife's beautiful entrance, during our unity ceremony and the recessional. She also was super accommodating and learned a song to play during our first dance.
Having Laurie play at our wedding was one of the best choices that we made for our big day. Her music was beautiful and ethereal. It created such a relaxing and enchanting atmosphere that set the tone for the rest of the wedding. She was perfect!!!!
Also, she did learn Africa by Toto for the groom and it was better than he could have ever imagined. If you are looking for a wonderful addition to your wedding then please look no further...Laurie is amazing.
Response from the Vendor on 10/21/2021
Hi John! Belated thanks for your very thoughtful review! Your wedding was beautiful, and I loved performing your unique and special requests. I'm so grateful that you included me! Thanks again! All my best to you and Ashley!
Laurie Leigh played her harp at my daughter's wedding reception and it was some of the most beautiful music I've heard at a wedding venue! I highly recommend Laurie Leigh!
Response from the Vendor on 10/21/2021
Thank you for including me in 2 family weddings, Denise! I loved celebrating with all of you - again! Cheers!
Laurie played absolutely beautifully for our outdoor wedding ceremony at Silverwood Park. We received tons of compliments on the music. Laurie has an extensive repertoire that was easily tailored to our event, and she could really project! This was important to us as we had a large outdoor space and ultimately were spread out further with social distancing. Our guests in the furthest seats were pleased to find out they could hear the music well.
Not only is Laurie a talented musician, the harp itself is beautiful. The harp added something visually to our ceremony and was the right scale of instrument for our large ceremony space. It also was a more accommodating instrument in terms of the weather it could withstand compared to some other instruments.
Laurie was very communicative and professional throughout the planning and re-planning process and on our wedding day. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend her!
Response from the Vendor on 10/21/2021
Hi Jessica! Belated thanks for your very thoughtful and detailed review! I'm so grateful that you included me in your gorgeous, outdoor celebration! And I hope married life is going well for you! Thanks again for your kind words!
Laurie,
Did an amazing job. Everyone at the wedding commented on the music she played, everyone loved her. Logistics were difficult and she didn’t seem to mind at all, true professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2020
Leah - Thank you for your sweet review! Your venue was just magical; and I loved being included! And ... I so enjoyed getting to know some of your family and guests - especially those who helped me with my harp on that unique staircase! :)
I cannot say enough good things about Laurie's work. She is amazing.
We hired Laurie to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was to have her as part of the event. It was elegant and created the perfect ambience for our small gathering.
Her repertoire was broad enough to offer everything we needed from the classics during our ceremony to contemporary favorites during the cocktail hour. She was flexible with her booking time, and was very reasonably priced for the quality of her services.
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2020
Susan - your kind review means so much to me! Thank you! And thank you again for including me in your lovely celebration!
Laurie was absolutely wonderful! Not only was her music BEAUTIFUL and the perfect touch for our big day (she is clearly an incredibly talented musician), but she was so sweet, professional, and easy to work with. Especially throughout the process of postponing and rescheduling our wedding during Covid, we were so appreciative of her flexibility and kindness. Also, she was very helpful during our consultation. With so many other things to worry about when getting ready for the wedding, I was so glad that I didn't have to worry at all about the music. Another bonus: the harp looked absolutely gorgeous in our venue (the Sunken Garden at the Como Conservatory). Thank you Laurie!!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2020
Thank you SO MUCH for your very kind review, Emily! I loved being included in your gorgeous celebration at my favorite venue!
Laurie did an amazing job performing at my wedding ceremony and during cocktail hour. We had wanted to include a violinist and she knew exactly who to contact to join her for cocktail hour. It was beautiful and she was absolutely professional in every aspect. Best decision we made!
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2020
Thank you, Nikki, for your very kind review! We loved working with you! And that setting for your celebration - WOW! Absolutely one of my new favorites!
Laurie was absolutely amazing and made our day so special! We are terribly last minute people, and she was incredibly accommodating! She learned two songs that we requested and even found a way to play for a small secret first dance for us when I asked her -minutes- prior. I could not recommend her enough! She’s amazingly talented and was so, so easy and pleasant to work with!
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2020
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Melissa! I'm so grateful that you included me! And thank you for introducing me to two new fabulous songs that sound great on the harp!
Laurie's music was a fabulous addition to our family wedding. Laurie added a unique and classic touch to our outdoor celebration.

Thank you so much for your review, Maggie! ❤️
Laurie Leigh - Harpist performed at our daughter's wedding in June 2019. Laurie is the ultimate professional and the talent she possesses is amazing! She can play any genre and makes the music selection process so easy by categorizing music selections by genre. Laurie also recommended a vocalist for the ceremony that had such a beautiful voice and sang with so much emotion. We selected 3 solos that were not the "norm" for a wedding but Laurie and Callie were so accommodating and did a beautiful job that our guests are still complementing them to this day! Laurie's talent will be remembered long past the wedding day!
Laurie Leigh was a delight to all attending our event. Her repertoire is so large and command of her instrument so impressive that it makes a ceremony perfect in any sense—and this one ranged from traditional to modern.
The bride and groom were delighted and the guests entranced during both ceremony and reception as Laurie’s selection of music also contains contemporary songs not typically heard on the harp that guests take notice of in ways that only enhance their experience at the event. She’s unique!
I knew this would be the case as I have worked with Laurie before and recommended her for this event!
Laurie is experienced, positive, professional, very personable and wonderfully talented. She casts a stunning image with her harp and I recommend her wholeheartedly for anyone looking at create an atmosphere of elegance and joy to their event experience.
Laurie was an amazing addition to our day on 10/19/19! We had a brunch wedding so she played the pre-ceremony time while friends and family had mimosas and pastries, during our wedding ceremony itself, and also at our cocktail hour. The music she chose was perfect - contemporary before and after, and some traditional music we chose for the ceremony. She sent a huge selection of songs for us to narrow down our picks from, and even sent a cd so we could be familiar with her music prior! I had known her through a mutual friend, but she blew us away for our event, and made an extremely smooth transition between harp music and the dj playlist for our dance.

Thank you so much for your very kind review, Gabbi! You were a joy to work with! All my best to you and Brett!
We absolutely loved Laurie! Her prices first of all are incredible! She is very personably, charismatic, and willing to work with your vision for your wedding! I off-handedly mentioned her playing a song during our ceremony and never expected her to play it. She then surprised us and learned it!! 11/10. Can’t say enough positive things about her!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2019
Curtis - Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I will always think of you and Renee every time I perform "All Star" by Smash Mouth! :) All my very best to both of you!

Laurie Leigh’s beautiful harp music was the highlight of our wedding ceremony! She has an extensive list of songs to choose from and is very helpful in the planning process. She always responded quickly when I emailed or called and was a delight to work with. 1000/10 for Laurie Leigh!!
Laurie was amazing! She made my special day even more special! Everyone is still raving about her wide variety of song choices! Laurie helped me pick the perfect music and took request from my guests young and old! All were so amazed by her skilled talent! 10/10 would recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2019

Kevin - Thank you so much for your kind review and for including me in your beautiful outdoor ceremony! All my best to you and Bianca!
Laurie Leigh recently played at my brunch wedding for the ceremony and cocktail hour! Her music is beautiful! She was great to work with. Offered suggestions for songs to play and also took requests for songs I wanted played. She arrived early to set up. The day would not have been as amazing without her music!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2019
You are so sweet, Alex! Thank you so much for your kind review! I so enjoyed working with you throughout the planning process! And your day couldn't have been lovelier! All my best to both of you!
Laurie played at my son's wedding ceremony earlier this month - she was fantastic - the music was so beautiful and it made the ceremony even more special. She learned a piece that the bride wanted for her processional - one that she didn't know -and I was so appreciative of her doing this to make it so wonderful! Her music made this day amazing! She was so easy to work with and I didn't have to worry about anything in regards to the ceremony music! She will hopefully be playing when my daughter gets married someday! Thank you Laurie!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2019
A huge belated thank you for your very kind review, Jeana! I thoroughly enjoyed working with you! And how neat to see how the music and unique family traditions came together in a very special ceremony!
Laurie was so wonderful to work with and so approachable and friendly! I am the mother of the bride, so I never met her prior to the wedding. My daughter and her fiancé met with Laurie prior to the wedding to determine music selections. My daughter was not necessarily so enthused about having a harpist at her wedding. After meeting with Laurie, hearing her play and ultimately, after the wedding and reception, they both were extremely happy she was there.
As a suggestion, (which we didn't think about until after the ceremony) communicate with your other musicians about who you want to be playing and when. We also had a pianist. Unfortunately, the piano overpowered the sound of the harpist and cellist in my opinion. I wish we had told the pianist when we did not want her to play to so that we could have just enjoyed the sound of the harpist and cellist. (beautiful together)
Laurie is a professional! Very talented and a great addition to the wedding day!
Laurie!!! I cannot even begin to describe how amazing you were! You completely garnished the outlook of our love story and for that we are completely grateful and honored. Thank you so much for being a key component of our fairy tale!
So thankful for Laurie! Ever since I was young, I wanted to have a harpist at my wedding. All my guests were talking about how awesome of a surprise it was to see her play during cocktail hour. She is flexible with her music choices and very easy to work with. She is also reasonably priced which is an added bonus.
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2019
Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your "dream since childhood", Deidra! I LOVED being included in your gorgeous reception! And how fun to see the facial expressions of your surprised guests! Thank you for your thoughtful review, Deidra!...
All my best to you and Jon!
Laurie is great to work with and very talented. I worked with her on a wedding on September 9, 2019 at Olympic Hills and she did a beautiful job playing for the ceremony and again during the cocktail hour. I will definitely be referring Laurie to my clients for their future ceremony or cocktail needs. Thanks Laurie!
Not only does Laurie play Harp so beautifully, she does it with a cheerful and positive disposition and with true professionalism. She is very responsible and also very agreeable to suggestions and will make sure her part at your event goes perfectly. She provided an amazing long list of available songs she already knew beforehand, and was even able to learn a new one just for our walk down the aisle as well. She, her instrument, and her music were all so beautiful and it truly created the most PERFECT atmosphere for our wedding. All of my guests were so impressed with her. I recommend her services wholeheartedly. Worth every penny.
How do I even begin to explain how wonderful Laurie is? I had it in my head I wanted a harpist for our ceremony and cocktail hour music, and I couldn't have dreamed that we would wind up with someone as kind and accommodating, not to mention talented, as Laurie. I wasn't sure if I was going to cry on my wedding day, but when I heard the first few notes of the song we selected for my bridal processional that was it for me. It was so perfect, and perfectly emotional and her harp has a such a rich, grand sound that it really set the tone for our ceremony, even outdoors the sound was crisp and loud enough for everyone to hear. Our ceremony was outside and it was 48 degrees and she gracefully weathered the cold with a smile on her face and no complaints. She is such a delightful person, I can not recommend Laurie enough. Her prices are very reasonable, and her level of talent is off the charts. One of the best decisions I made in our wedding planning process for sure.
I actually first heard Laurie when she played in the lobby at my work during Christmas last year. I am so glad I asked for her contact information. Laurie is not only extremely talented, but SO easy to work with. I sincerely appreciated that during the craziness that can be wedding planning, especially the last month. We had a special request for our recessional and she was more than happy to learn it. We received so many compliments on our ceremony music and having a harp added such a unique element to it. I can't recommend her enough.
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2018
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jennifer! You were a joy to work with - so easy-going! And now every time I perform the song "Africa", I'll think of your beautiful ceremony and your special request! Thanks again for including me!
Laurie did an AMAZING job at our wedding! Right after our "trial performance" with Laurie we knew we were going to love her. She was such an uplifting, positive part of our day and her music was amazing. She is so talented! Guests told us that she was a hit during cocktail hour, as well!
We would highly recommend Laurie for anyone looking for tasteful, amazing live music at their wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2018
Thank you SO much for your kind review, Maddi! Working with you and Chris was truly a joy! Thanks again for including me in your gorgeous celebration!
Laurie played at our wedding on October 22 and I can’t say enough good things about her!! My guests young and old were completely captivated by her music! She took the time and learned who we are as a couple and went with it!! Many of our guests complimented at her talents playing everything from the traditional classics, Disney, and even some Pink Floyd!!! She made our day extra special!!! Laurie we cannot thank you enough!!! That day will live on in our memories forever and you will be a big part of it!!!

Thank you for your kind review, Solveig! I loved being a part of your gorgeous celebration! Thanks again for including me!
Laurie Leigh made our day so uniquely special and we are so thankful! Our guests are still commenting on how great our harpist was - and our wedding was two weeks ago! She was a dream to work with, I cannot recommend her enough.
Response from the Vendor on 09/20/2018
Oh, Gwen! You are so sweet! Your wedding was perfect, and I loved working with you! And your vocalist!
All my best to you!
Laurie was absolutely fabulous! I lost my dad almost exactly 2 months before our wedding and I was taking some night courses, needless to say I was very stressed in the months leading up to the big day. Laurie offered to "free lance" the music to take some pressure off, but I had a specific vision in mind. She reassured me that I didn't have to rush to pick songs, we had up until the day before the wedding to finalize the list. Once we made our selections, she was more than willing to meet with us to review and even play the songs we picked to make sure we were on the same page. She made adjustments to fit our vision and went above and beyond to basically learn a "new" song, which turned out beautifully. We had a solid plan for the day, she would extend or shorten songs as needed, given my step dad walked with a cane, we werent sure how long the trip down our aisle would take. She visually checked in with me to make sure I was still in the building and ready, she even blew me a kiss :). She is incredibly talented and very sweet, we received so many compliments on the beautiful venue, the music and the level of elegance a harp brought to the event. The thought of having harp playing at my wedding never even crossed my mind, but after getting the idea and visiting the Galleria to listen to and talk with her, we knew right away that we wanted her to play for our day. I feel so incredibly blessed to have had an absolutely perfect day and attribute Laurie, as a person and musician to the beauty and elegance of the ceremony. Any excuse I may have in the future to work with her, I will. I simply cannot say enough good things about her!
Response from the Vendor on 09/20/2018
Emily - what a sweetheart! Thank you SO much for your thoughtful review! I'm still performing your "new" song, which I absolutely LOVE! If you come to one of my public Holiday performances, I'd love to play it again for you.
Laurie did a great job during our ceremony and also performed during our cocktail hour. She was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. We received several compliments on her performance. We would highly recommend her.
Laurie was absolutely amazing!! We had SO many compliments from her music at our wedding ceremony- it was truly beautiful! I've seen her play a few places now and she is always incredibly professional, fun, energetic and excited to play her music for people.
To be honest, I had a couple reservations on if the songs would sound the same in the beginning as I had never heard a harp before, but WOW, her playing at my wedding ceremony was really the best part! I would highly recommend her for most any event. Her harp is quite loud when needed, but soft at the right moments. So whether its a social hour, business/social party, wedding or an upscale shower/celebration- you'll be happy you booked her! (Super easy to work with too- such a sweetheart!)
I highly recommend Laurie Leigh and her harp for your next event or wedding ceremony. I could not have imagined anything more beautiful than listening to harp music playing among the trees at our outdoor venue. She arrived on time, set up quickly and began to play for our arriving guests. She offers a great variety of classical, modern and country music. If there is a piece you wish to hear - she will learn it (if possible). Very satisfied and so happy that she was a part of our special day!
We are so lucky to have had you play the harp on our special day! You are very talented and helped create the perfect setting during our ceremony.
We didn't know what to expect when our planner recommended harp music. We met with Laurie, listened to recordings and hired her. What a delightful, elegant touch the harp music added to our ceremony. It added so much to our day. I would not hesitate to recommend Laurie. She was professional, personable and a joy to work with.
Laurie performed during the dinner portion at our wedding. My dad has been a fan of hers for many years, so having her be a part of our day was a surprise for him. Her music was beautiful and helped set the tone/mood that we wanted. She is professional, but also has warm and welcoming personality that compliments the wedding setting.
Top it off, she was one of the easiest vendors I worked with. I literally called her, gave her the venue information and that was it....she took it from there and I never had to think about it again.
I'd highly recommend Laurie for any event!!
After being entertained by the amazing harpist Laurie Leigh for many years at corporate events, I was thrilled at my daughter's wedding to have Laurie join our family's celebration. She is a gracious, engaging and unique talent. Simply the best!
Laurie and her harp were the perfect touch at my daughter’s wedding. Laurie met with my daughter and son in law and helped them with music selections that reflected them perfectly.
Laurie was amazing to work with and her music during our ceremony/cocktail hour was so beautiful!! I would recommend her to anyone looking to add something extra special to their wedding.
We loved working with Laurie!
She was so helpful to my wife and I. She walked us through the planning and was very kind and warm.
She did an outstanding preformed at our wedding ceremony.
Laurie also offered great advice on other aspects of our ceremony. She is VERY experienced!
Laurie was AMAZING!
Her performance at our wedding ceremony was perfect!
She also was a joy to work with in planning. She was kind and patience the whole way through!
Laurie was amazing, and her playing really brought our ceremony to the next level of class and beauty. She happily learned a handful of new songs for us, making sure the music was personal and truly helping to make the day special. She was the only musician for our ceremony and cocktail hour.
I would 110% recommend this beautiful woman and her beautiful harp to anyone looking to add something special to their ceremony/cocktail hour/reception
I assisted with planning my friends wedding on February 11, 2017 and Laurie was hired to play. She had great ideas for interlude and ceremony music. She was personable and was a consummate professional. Her music is stunningly beautiful and added so much to the ceremony. I recommend her to everyone I know. I can't wait for another opportunity to hire her to play.
Excellent service from start to finish. From her kind and welcoming personality to her ability to play what we wanted and be flexible with weather conditions. Truly the perfect music for the setting!
Laurie was great to work with. She was very helpful and accommodating through out the whole process. She did an amazing job and it made our cermoney a million times better
Laurie played the hard during my daughter's wedding and during the social hour afterwords. Laurie was a pleasure to work with. Her communication with the bride and groom was excellent as they discussed which music they wanted played during the different parts of the ceremony. We actually got several compliments about how beautiful the harp sounded. If our next wedding includes a harp we will definitely ask Laurie to play for us again.
Laurie is wonderful! Her repertoire is expansive, with lots of great choices so we could tailor our ceremony exactly how we wished. She was professional, easy to work with, and added a true sense of sophistication to our special day. She is a joy and comes with my highest recommendation.
Laurie was easy to plan our event with and on the day of our reception she arrived early; performed beautifully; and was a joy to have. Her music was beautiful and her performance made our event even more special then we could have asked for. I highly recommend Laurie for your next reception.
Laurie was just wonderful to work with. My wife's mother is Scottish and requested a song that wasn't in Laurie's normal repertoire but she learned it especially for the wedding. She plays the harp beautifully and is a real pro at finding the right place to end a song so the ceremony can continue. She paid attention to what was happening in the ceremony and hit all of her cues. Highly recommend!!
I would highly recommend Laurie! She was amazing to work with & made our wedding that much more special! She is very gifted.
We were introduced to Laurie through a family member and are so thankful that she was part of our celebration. She offered a large selection of music to choose from and even offered to learn new songs just for us! Laurie played beautifully at our ceremony and she was extremely professional. I would highly recommend adding Laurie Leigh to any wedding ceremony.
Laurie was beyond amazing. From the conversations we had leading up to the event to her spending a significant amount of time talking to my elderly father who was blown away by her beautiful music, my experience with her was perfect. She listened to what songs I wanted to include in the ceremony and gave great advice about when to play certain songs I knew would make me cry (but I wanted to include anyway since they are so special!) We were married at the arboretum and her music in the setting was perfect. I recommend her 100%!
We absolutely LOVED working with Laurie! We hired her to be our harpist for our June 12, 2016 wedding and couldn't have been happier. The music was beautiful and everyone complimented us on how great she was. I would recommend her to ANY bride wanting beautiful music for her special wedding day!!
Laurie was absolutely wonderful to work with! My husband and I wanted to explore having a harpist for both the ceremony and cocktail hour and we were excited to find her. Laurie was great in helping us pick out a wide variety of music even though we didn't entirely know what we wanted. We were surprised with her extensive music list and so were our guests. We received multiple compliments on her music.. She really helped set the stage for a great evening! I would highly recommend her if you are looking for something unique to have during your ceremony or reception.
Laurie is just Amazing and I find myself lost for words when listening to her play. She is so kind, knowledgeable, and oh so easy to work with. It is so refreshing when you are working with a Vendor who listens and gives you insight of ideas and thoughts, and this is exactly how I felt the whole lifespan of my wedding planning all the way up to my Wedding day! Laurie thank you for sharing your Amazing talent and helping with making my Dream Wedding; come true!!! I would and have recommended Laurie to many friends that have a wedding or event coming up.
This is one talented and highly professional musician. I think it takes a special person to be as willing to provide backdrop and atmospherics to an event as Laurie is. With her, it's about what you need your event to be about...not how to best showcase her own unique musical giftedness. She listens! Gotta tell you, I cringed a little when my sister asked Laurie to add an obscure Ralph Vaughan Williams piece to her repertoire for our event, but, in just a few days Laurie had it nailed! Not a soul would ever know that it was something she'd never played in public before. I suspect that she just plain loves the sounds that she can coax out of that instrument...and it matters not what genre.
Laurie is a beautiful musician and can play just about any type of music requested. I would recommend Laurie for my event!
