Laurie was a pleasure to work with. She took the guess work out of our planning. Specially since we had never hired a harpist.
Her great communication, professional insights and expansive music selection helped make our wedding an event that people are still talking about today.
She was so accommodating and adaptable to our requests. From our outdoor ceremony to our indoor dinner/reception she did an amazing job. Her music recommendations and skills helped elevate our wedding to the next level.
My wife and I highly recommend Laurie for all of your event needs. She was extremely professional, reliable and one of our best vendors to work with.

Laurie is the epitome of professionalism, talent, and love for her craft. She was such a joy to work with - from our very first phone call I knew I had to book her.
She created the most incredible atmosphere for our ceremony - downright ethereal. She took our song ideas and made a perfectly flowing and truly magical playlist. She is the very best of the best and we are SO thankful that we got to have her at our wedding.
If you are looking for the perfect music for your wedding ceremony, look no further!

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!

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.

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!

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

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 is a fabulous Harpist! She played at my daughter’s wedding ceremony and during the reception cocktail hour.

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 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!

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 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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
