Would you like to add a beautiful, soothing, and elegant touch to your event? I have played for numerous weddings, banquets, bridal showers, baby celebrations, viewings, funerals, and holiday parties for twenty years, and I would be delighted to get to play for your event! Though I earned a degree in harp performance, and have played with many orchestras, including the Dayton Philharmonic, Springfield Symphony, and Lebanon Symphony, I enjoy playing all genres of music. I would be delighted to play elegant classical, lilting Celtic, romantic standards, or worshipful Sacred selections for your event, and am happy to work with you to craft the appropriate repertoire list for your event.
Leah was the best addition to my daughter’s wedding. She made our event GRANDE. She was on rime, dressed elegantly as requested and she played every song with precision and excellence. There was such an anointing felt by the guest. Her skills are over the top!
Leah was timely, easy to work with, professionally sound and a gifted instrumentalist!
Response from Dayton Harpist:
Thank you for your encouraging words. It was an honor to get to play for your business launch. All the best!

Response from Dayton Harpist:
Thank you so much! It was a delight to be a part of your wedding. All the best!

Response from Dayton Harpist:
Thank you so much for having me. It was delightful to get to play for you and your guests!
From our first interaction to The Performance—Ms. Leah was exceptional. Thank you for that finishing touch! Lovely Lady & Musical Goddess.
Response from Dayton Harpist:
What kind words - thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful wedding!
Leah did such an amazing job along with the violinist to make our ceremony perfect! She and our violinist were so amazingly talented and I am so grateful to her for all of her work into making our special day beautiful.
Response from Dayton Harpist:
Gwen, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! It was an honor and privilege for both Ellen and I to get to provide the music for your wedding ceremony. ❤️
The Dayton Harpist played a prelude and postlude for the graveside service for our Mother. She played a selection of sacred, folk and popular music and tailored the selections to music that was specifically meaningful to our family. Leah arrived in plenty of time to set up and start playing at the agreed time. The effect of her music lent a beautiful, peaceful and calming backdrop to the service. Many people afterward commented on how memorable the music made the service. Our family can not thank Leah enough for providing a beautiful ambience for our Mother's celebration of life. Ginny would have loved it!
Ms. Leah was a much welcomed addition to the luncheon. Her promptness, selection of songs, and welcoming attitude was a breath of fresh air. Everyone had so many compliments regarding her and her very valuable and beautiful skill set. Thank you so much!
Response from Dayton Harpist:
What a privilege it was for me to get to be a small part of honoring your special guests. Thank you so much for having me!
Leah was fantastic. She was very accommodating and came prepared with the songs I requested. She did a fabulous job in setting the mood. Everyone loved her performance.
Response from Dayton Harpist:

Response from Dayton Harpist:
Getting to play in memory of your mother was truly an honor for me. Thank you for welcoming me into your family and circle of friends to share those special moments with you.
Leah is just the best!!! She is a very, very talented harpist, a true professional, and a really nice person. She can play most anything you want and will learn new music if by chance it is a piece she is not familiar with. I would use her over and over again.
Response from Dayton Harpist:

Response from Dayton Harpist:
Thank you so much, Kamela! What an honor it was to get to be a small part of their special day. ❤
We LOVED the Dayton Harpist! She was easy to work with and the music was so lovely. It made the ceremony extra special. We would hire her again. She received a standing ovation when she departed.
Response from Dayton Harpist:
It was such a delight and an honor to get to be a part of your daughter's wedding. Thank you, and all the best to your family!
Leah and her harp were the perfect addition to our wedding. In addition to being an elegant touch to the wedding day Leah spent time with us before we even booked to play for us to get a feel for what we wanted and what she could do. She was able to tailor the song selection to our tastes and personalities. I received many compliments after the wedding about the song selection being perfect for us.
I wish I would have been able to hear more (It was a busy day!) but I will always remember the sound of Sailor Moon on the harp before the ceremony.
Response from Dayton Harpist:
Thank you, Ross! It was truly an honor to get to be part of yours and Jenny's wedding. All the best to you both!
Leah was very good. She got a standing ovation when she left. It made the ceremony so special to have her there. She was a pleasure to work with through out the process. We are so glad we hired her to be our harpist for the wedding. I would recommend it!
Response from Dayton Harpist:
Cathy, thank you so much for giving me the privilege of being a small part of your daughter's charming wedding. You and your family were incredibly kind and hospitable. Blessings!
- Leah
Lea played the harp during my ceremony a few weeks ago and she was absolutely delightful. She was a joy to work with, she was very organized and had really good advice for helping me pick out my songs for the various parts of the wedding. She was very professional and played incredibly well. I got so many compliments and everyone really enjoyed the music. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
Response from Dayton Harpist:
Thank you very much for your kind recommendation. It was such an honor to get to be part of your special day! All the best!
Leah was extremely professional. She arrived early and her playing was beautiful. She was perfect for my sisters memorial service. I could not have been more happy with her. I'm sorry I did not get thank her in person.
Thank you Leah.
Response from Dayton Harpist:
You are most welcome, Ralph. It was truly an honor for me to be involved in your sister's memorial service. May God grant peace and comfort to you and your family during this difficult time.
Leah played for our wedding. She was prompt, professional, and even traveled to see our home (which served as the venue) prior to the wedding day to review logistics and music choices. I was very impressed by her professionalism, and look forward to having the opportunity to hire her again!
Response from Dayton Harpist:
Thank you, and a hearty Congratulations to you and Chantel!
LEAH DID AN AMAZING JOB! ALL THE GUEST RAVED OVER HOW BEAUTIFUL THE MUSIC WAS! Leah also was so thorough in the planning on the ceremony music for each different piece and wanted to make sure it was perfect! It meant a lot to me that she helped plan everything out since we didn't have a wedding coordinator! I will recommend her to everyone. She totally set the tone and it was beautiful :)
Response from Dayton Harpist:
Thank you, Korey! What an honor it was to get to be part of your beautiful wedding ceremony!

We weren’t able to meet in person due to distance but we’re able to set up a video call to discuss what the plan was. Leah played us examples of songs and we were so thrilled. Everyone at our wedding was surprised and loved the music!
Response from Dayton Harpist:
What an honor it was to be part of your beautiful wedding, Morgan! Thank you for giving me the privilege. All the best!
I wish my photos had sound!
Despite the heat of the outdoor location, Leah was amazing, she provided soft music throughout the ceremony and it was the perfect addition to the intimate ceremony. She also stayed for a bit afterwards for some phot ops of the bride and groom dancing to their first dance. I highly recommend her!
She is a fantastic musician! And a wonderful person to work with! Highly recommend her for any event you are doing- large work, solo, or accompanying!
