Lara was wonderful, her music was beautiful and exactly what we requested. She was prompt when responding to email and arrived early and was set up before we arrived. We would strongly recommend Lara and it was our pleasure to have her be a part of our wedding!

Lara was a really wonderful addition to our holiday party. Our clients commented frequently about how the music was light, lively, and added a significant touch of class to our event. Lara was professional, responded to my emails and questions quickly and clearly, and was very friendly. I would definitely hire her again for anything else we might plan in the future.
Thank you Lara!

Professionalism: Lara was in contact often and was flexible. She also let me know what music she had available- she made sure I would be getting what I wanted. :)
Accommodating: I think this goes with flexibility and she was always in touch through phone or email. She answered quickly and promptly.
Talent: I wish I could have enjoyed more of her music, but from what I heard it was exactly what I wanted! Her playing was beautiful. It wasn't too loud or too soft, but the perfect accompaniment. Also she was timed well with each event. This was for a wedding. We had a different piece of music for the prelude, seating of parents, bridal party and bride. It was perfect

Lara and her accompanying violinst were phenomenal--unobtrusive, very sweet, and played truly beautiful music that turned my teeny tiny little city hall wedding into a lovely afternoon. They continued playing after the ceremony, while we sipped champagne. Couldn't have asked for an easier, friendlier transaction. Prompt, professional, and exceptionally talented musicians.

We were very happy working with Lara, and the music was beautiful... Many of the guests attending the memorial were impressed, and they all asked where we had found the musicians...

Lara is very talented on the harp, with a pleasant demeanor, and I was extremely satisfied with her music for my wedding. I had e-mailed her a list of songs prior to the wedding with my requests for the processional music and exit music, and she didn't have that list on the day of the wedding and sent the officiant to ask me for it again in the midst of all my stress and getting myself ready. Everything besides this was great, I was very happy with selecting her for our big day :)

Perfect. Lara arrived in plenty of time, and her whole approach was one of empathy towards the event and providing the appropriate atmosphere and professionalism. Everyone loved what she contributed in quality of music, warmth and sensitivity.
Would definitely book Lara again and so would everyone there.

I hired Lara to play the harp at my wedding ceremony. She brought another musician who played the violin and they were wonderful! In addition to arriving on time and being very professional, our guests loved the performance. I would highly recommend her for any event large or small. Thanks again Lara!

We hired Lara for our wedding and reception and couldn't have been more pleased. She was able to accommodate all 4 of our special song requests, including one where we had to provide the sheet music to a hard-to-find song. She played harp at our wedding and piano at our reception and added classic elegance to each. We would not hesitate to recommend her.

Lara is a fantasic pianist and harpist--and as an added caveat, she is wonderful to work with. I would give her my highest recommendation for weddings, special events, and other venues where profesionalism and musical talent is need!

Lara and her violinist, Sue, were absolutely fantastic! I would HIGHLY recommend her to friends! She played at my mother-in-law's, Bernice, 80th birthday dinner and my mother-in-law just LOVED their music. She could not stop talking about how much she enjoyed them! I am truly satisfied with their performance and grateful to have them take part in such a special event! TRULY AWESOME!!!
