Harpist for all events. I own several types of harps: Classical concert pedal harp; Rustic Celtic harp and several wire strung harps that are based on the ancient harp designs of Ireland and Scotland.
I have made several recordings of mostly original harp music of my design. Select pieces have been featured on several radio programs, including KRVS Harpestry program. Free harp music consultation for weddings is available at my studio. Member of the Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce (phone number hidden)4. NACE member (phone number hidden)4.

Katie, thank you for taking time to post a review. It was a pleasure to be part of your wedding!
Laurie was a pleasure to work with, very accommodating and professional. Her love for what she does shows in her music. I would recommend Laurie to anyone that needs that extra special something at their event. She helped make my daughter's wedding perfect!
Hiring Laurie was the best decision we made! Even thkugh I was in Florida for most of the wedding planning, she was able to communicate, and work with us on every stage of the process. Lovely harps, excellent song selections and she even learned a few pieces for my ceremony. It was a pleasure to work with her! Everyone in my party enjoyed her musical talent. Price was better than any other harpist I was able to contact, and I would book her again in a heartbeat!
Ms Laurie, you made our special day even more special. I will never forget it. Thank you for being a special part on our special day!
Response from Laurie Hefner:

Laurie was a terrific find. Thank you Gigsalad and Laurie Hefner. Having a harpist with a wide repertoire for our Mother and Son Brunch was a nice addition, with attendees saying , "Boy, the event really was upscale!"

Response from Laurie Hefner:
Thank you Katie! It was a great pleasure to work with you and I'm very happy that it turned out so lovely!
Laurie did an excellent job for our wedding ceremony on April 18, 2015. She was flexible as our venue changed and very professional. A beautiful collection of harp music was executed for our ceremony by Mrs. Hefner.
Laurie provided music for my outside wedding. Her performance was wonderful, everyone enjoyed the musical selection. She is very professional and communication was great.
Response from Laurie Hefner:
Thank you Stephanie for taking the time to write this review. It was a real pleasure being a part of your wedding.
How could one not like hearing Harp music. Beautiful. Laurie provided the exact music selections we had invisioned and her command of the harp is a pleasure to behold. Thank you again for a great evening of music.
Laurie took out of her busy schedule to perform on our local talk show 'Louisiana Heart Beats'. Her soothing spirit rises from her music and flows; like a healing serenade to all who are in her presence. We were honored to have her on our show.
Customers at Wild Birds Unlimited were treated to Laurie playing her harp during two special events at Christmas. Some thought the music was coming from a CD while others commented on how much they enjoyed her music.
