Having over 15 years of professional experience, I am able to quickly adapt to venue specifics and client requests. I specialize in wedding prelude/ceremony music and small party events.
Leah provided music for our small ceremony, and we received so many compliments about how wonderful she was. We requested nontraditional songs that weren't in her song list for both the walk down the aisle and our recessional, and she did a fabulous job on both.
Everything was perfect thanks to Leah. Excellent choice of music, and a total professional
We had Leah play our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour along with her duo partner, cellist Kristin. They played classical pieces during the ceremony flawlessly. We missed most of the cocktail hour due to pics, but reviews from our guests were extremely positive across the board.
Hired for wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Beautiful music. Thank you, Leah!
Very professional and nice live touch for our cocktail hour!
Thank you for adding the best touch to our reception hour! Beautiful cover songs added the touch we needed! Thank you again
She played beUtifully!
We hired Leah to play the violin as a 50th Wedding Anniversary gift for our dear friends and neighbors. Communicating with her through phone, email and text was very personable and professional, with prompt responses ( in other words, she was very easy to work with). She arrived at the upscale restaurant event on time and her appearance was impeccable. On top of it all, she played the love songs beautifully. We would recommend her in a heart beat and will definitely hire her again for all our future events.
Professional, arrived on time, played everything we requested and made our son's wedding extra special.
Leah's violin music added just the class and elegance that we needed for our daughter's wedding. Leah was on time,very pleasant to work with and the consummate professional. I will definitely use her again for my 2nd daughters wedding.
thanks again Leah!-The McArthur's
Leah was a wonderful addition to my wedding that made it extra special. I felt like I was in a fairytale walking down the aisle to her gorgeous violin music. I absolutely recommend her for your next event. And she was very affordable! She even learned special songs I requested!
We invited Leah to play violin for my mother's memorial service. Leah drove a long way and was on time. She was polite, kind, very talented and really made our service a touching and beautiful event. She played the pieces we requested. Everyone loved her. I would recommend her very highly.
