"Laurel Thomsen was truly amazing! She is beautiful, so very talented and such a joy! We couldn't have asked for more! She played so beautifully before, during and after our wedding. We highly recommend her to anyone and can't thank her enough for helping to make our wedding a dream come true."

"Laurel Thomsen's music added so much beauty to our beach wedding. As I walked down the aisle I could hear the violin mixed in with the sound of the waves and the ocean breeze. It made the moment magical. Thank you so much for helping to make my wedding unique and truly unforgettable. You are awesome! Thank You!"
Lynn Naves, Bride

"As the father of the bride, I knew that my daughter's expectations were going to be high. She had planned every little detail of her wedding meticulously - every detail that is, except the music for the wedding ceremony. She knew she wanted it to be simple, yet elegant. Non-traditional, yet still capable of evoking a traditional feel befitting such an ethereal occasion. Having found Laurel Thomsen online and recommending her to my daughter based upon nothing more than a "feeling" derived from reading her profile, I must admit to tempering my own expectations. I can now say unequivocally that the experience was nothing less than perfect! Professional and confident throughout the process, I believe Laurel's performance exceed every hope we could have had. Her music provided a seamless and intuitively poignant thread that helped weave everything else into a truly awesome moment in time. I am glad we made the choice to place our trust in Laurel. The results were "pitch perfect."
George Osborne, Father of the Bride
