Testimonials
Laura’s music at our wedding made our day even more special than we could have imagined. After deciding we’d like a live harpist at the ceremony, we found Laura online. She made the process of booking super easy, and when we asked for some inspiration for the music at our ceremony, she shared her wonderful ideas. The organisation for seamless, and Laura’s music itself was evocative and personal, making the ceremony even more meaningful. Thank you, Laura, for helping make our special day so memorable!

Wedding ceremonyLaura was very professional and very reactive, sending me the song’s list, advising me on the songs and also played some for me to help me decide! On the day, Laura was on time with a very smiley face and added a warm sweet feeling to the ceremony.
