We had the absolute pleasure of having Laura perform at our wedding, and it was truly magical. From the first note to the last, their music added so much warmth and elegance to our special day.
Laura worked closely with us beforehand to understand our preferences, incorporating some of our favorite love songs, into the collection she played as our guests entered the venue.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful music and how it perfectly complemented the atmosphere. It was clear that Laura is not only a talented musician but also someone who genuinely cares about making each event unique and memorable.
We’re so grateful for her contribution to our wedding day and couldn’t recommend Laura enough for any special occasion.

Thank you so much Lesley for leaving this review. It was an honor to play both your cocktail hour & reception.
Laura selected music based on our conversations which was perfect for the venue and the crowd. Our attendees were very pleased which makes us happy. She worked with me to practice and play a couple of special songs for our crowd. Very nice personality. Would love to have her back next year.

Response from Sounds of Laura: Great Piano Music:
Note: This review reads Organist. It needs to read Pianist. I just wanted to clarify the posting.
Thank you so much for the review here on Gig Salad, Erdal. I would love to come back next year. In the meantime, I will learn the other Chopin piece of music that you mentioned. I enjoyed putting together a program filled with Classical Music, and my World Music. Something very different.
We hired "Sounds of Laura" for our Red Carpet Event and was very pleased with Laura and her selection of music. We received many compliments from the Realtors and we will definitely hire Laura again for future events. Laura was so easy to work with, arrived on time for setting up and waited until the three hour event was over before she packed everything up. I highly recommend Laura for you upcoming Events! She's a beautiful soul, a delight & plays beautiful music!

It was a delight to have Laura play at our dinner party.
The music we requested is exactly what we heard. Our guests enjoyed the memories of music years back. Her music made our party more complete.
Would recommend Laura as she will play what music you wish to hear. She is a talented musician!

Laura went above and beyond to make my proposal perfect. She played beautiful music while I proposed to my girlfriend and then continued to play while we enjoyed a private dinner. She is very kind, responsive, professional, and above all, a killer piano player! I would *definitely* recommend you book her for your event, she'll take care of you for sure.

Response from Sounds of Laura: Great Piano Music:
Thank you Sara for such a nice review. I appreciate it. I really did enjoy playing your Wedding Reception. The best of luck to you and Andrew.
Laura played at my wedding on December 8,2012! My husband's friend was our pianist at first, but he ended up having to back out two weeks before the wedding--Bridal nightmare!
So I got on google and came across Laura's name on GigSalad. I read her reviews (which were all positive), so I decided to write her a message for a free quote. She responded very quickly, and to my relief, had very reasonable prices! She also called me the next day to follow up, give me more information about her services, and let me know a little about herself. She was such a delight to talk to on the phone-- very sweet and outgoing.
We then set up an appointment to go over song choices. Laura started playing the piano, and it was one of the most beautiful sounds I had heard in a long time! You can see her passion for music when she is playing or even just talking about music. She was very informative in helping to pick songs and was open to our preferences/opinions. She was so easy to work with!
She arrived to the wedding promptly, and she was dressed in a beautiful, elegant dress that matched our wedding colors! She also played the piano beautifully. My bridal suit was next to the ceremony room, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her play the piano while I waited for the ceremony to begin. During the reception, I had many guests tell me how beautiful the ceremony music was!
I don't think we could have picked a better pianist! And did I mention that we did all of this the week before our wedding? Yes, we did! :) Laura saved us!
You will not be disappointed if you choose her as your pianist!
Pianist
Laura met with us at her house to go over some music and we picked out the songs we liked. She has a portable keyboard that sounds amazing! She can make a song sound like the piano, organs, strings, etc. She compiled a list of the music we liked and the order according to our wedding. She helped out at the wedding and gave the minister a signal to walk to the altar. She played 30 minutes before the ceremony and after the ceremony as the guests were leaving. I would recommend Laura!!
Laura played for a funeral I attended this morning. The chapel didn't have a booster for the piano and she still made it sound beautiful. I think she was taking the lead but singing ended up leading & she made us sound good by playing along. Many verses of Amazing Grace and more songs we sang praising God & remembering Steve. Laura seems thoughtful, especially on a somber day like 2day she made it all the more special for participants &family alike. Bless u!
I was searching for pianists for my Waco wedding and came across Laura through this site. We communicated by phone and email, and I decided she would be great for our ceremony. I had a couple of special requests that were not already in her extensive repertoire - "Yellow" by Coldplay for my processional, and the Baylor school song for our recessional. She found the "Yellow" sheet music online and communicated with me in detail about how she would make the intro, cuts, etc. She searched for the school song and when she couldn't find it, she contacted the Baylor school of music personally and obtained it from them. She pieced together all the ceremony music well in advance of the wedding based on our selections, and she made good suggestions for how to arrange the selections in the prelude, etc. She played at our rehearsal and I requested some changes on "Yellow" for the ceremony - she accomodated this change overnight and it sounded just like I wanted during the ceremony. The quality of her music overall was great, it all sounded beautiful. She is very detail-oriented and will work to make sure everything goes together nicely!
Pianist
Laura is great! She was super friendly and helpful from the very first phone call. She worked with everything we wanted and worked around our schedules to plan everything. If she didn't have the music(which she has TONS!) she went and got it and practiced it to be perfect for the ceremony! Her and her "Roadie", TJ, are both pleasant and professional and great to work with! She is also very prompt and replies to any inquiries within the same day!! She brings her own keyboard so can change the sound of several songs just by playing it on strings, Electric Piano, regular Piano, etc. Her consultations are fun and upbeat and really let you get a feel for what will be played at your wedding or any event!!

What to Expect
The passion I have for my music joined with my melodious material captures an immediate, emphatic response from the listener, sustaining interest throughout the duration of a performance. My Oldies & Classic Rock bring back allot of memories for many people. All of the wonderful Italian, French, Russian & Indian music in my repertoire stirs emotions.
My ambient background music, whether it is Classical, lovely tunes from Broadway and Film, Light Jazz or Contemporary Sounds, brings about a relaxed, peaceful, refreshed feeling for the listener.
Music for the Wedding Ceremonies and Receptions that I play create lasting memories for the bride and groom.
The words of my past and present clients perhaps best expresses what you will hear when you listen to the Sounds of Laura: "Beautiful," "Awesome," "Amazing," "Unique, "Elegant," "Romantic," "Flawless," and simply "Gorgeous."

Testimonials
"Breath of Fresh Air!"
I know how stressful planning a wedding can be! I just went through it. I had my musician lined up for my wedding ceremony and about a month before the big day they backed out! I searched online and found Laura. She is so organized and professional. She put my mind at ease as soon as my husband and I had our consultation with her. She takes care of you and makes you feel like her main priority. Did I mention what a fabulous pianist she is? Her song selection is so great and diverse, you will definitely find what you want! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pianist for their big day!
– Neely Rogers, Fort Worth, Texas
Laura was wonderful! I'm so glad she was there to play the music on our special day.

Laura played the piano at my wedding ceremony and it was so beautiful. I wanted to cry but i didn't want to mess up my make-up. I really loved how she played "Ave Maria." The best of all is that I have it on videotape to replay over and over.

Sounds of Laura provided excellent live ceremony music for our wedding. Laura & I reviewed each song & the order of songs in advance. She is very flexible & willing to work with you on music. Since she is such a professional, I trusted her opinion & judgment & went with the list she proposed. But I did not want to enter to "here comes the bride" so she chose a more classical piece for my entrance. Her keyboard produces so many varieties of sounds, not only piano, but organ, pipe organ, & many other sounds. When we were developing the list of music, she would play me an example of each sound...here it is in piano, here it is in organ, etc...which I appreciated. My music was completly customized for me & our wedding day. Everything was perfect & we had so many compliments for having live music & not a CD. Sometimes, if there is a change or the timing is off, a CD seems off with the people walking. For example, we had some elderly people in the wedding so Laura could see them & time the music to their walk...the bridal party didn't have to adjust to the music; Laura adjusted and accommodated the music.

Laura was wonderful to work with and I was at ease knowing that my ceremony music would be perfect for my wedding day. She is very professional and makes you feel that your wedding is a top priority. I enjoyed having her play at my wedding ceremony!

"I have sought out Laura's public performances since first hearing her play at a friends wedding reception 3 or 4 years ago. My wife and I asked Laura to play at our Wedding Reception. Everyone there commented on how good her playing was. Laura's repertoire spans many genres, and I go away from every performance mentally refreshed, and feeling much better than I did an hour or so earlier. If you're looking for good music for your wedding or reception, I suggest giving Laura a call."

LOVED her service. Laura is an amazing pianist. She took the time to go over a ton of songs with me to make my ceremony perfect for us!!! She was able to play all the songs that I reqauested, and even worked with me the day of the wedding when I felt like we needed a quick change. I would recommend her to anyone that is wanting some beautiful music to accompany their magical day!!!

The quality of Laura's service was excellent; she exceeded my expectations. I would recommend her to anyone. Not only is she a professional, but she is also a very warm and caring person. You can tell she enjoys her music and that she understands the importance of the events in your life.
We used her services for my daughter's graduation reception and for her wedding ceremony. It was a very unique and enjoyable experience.
You can't beat the price for the quality of service that you receive. We were fortunate to catch her at a very good time; her schedule allowed her to perform both events.
