I have been a professional harpist for over 20 years. I love to create beautiful ambiance for all kinds of special events - weddings, memorials, bridal/baby showers, birthdays, anniversaries, art openings, holiday events, etc. I also love to play at senior centers and at yoga/wellness classes and retreats and I offer discounted rates for these services.
I am easy to work with and dependable. I arrange all kinds of music to the celtic harp - from classical to contemporary, folk, rock, and world (especially Hawaiian, as I lived there for many years). I provide amplification for up to 100 guests at no additional charge. I look forward to helping make your dreams come true for your special day.
10 out of 5 stars!!! Loved the music! Made the wedding ceremony so magical. Our families and guests are still talking about how they enjoyed the music!

Thank you Lana. It was a beautiful day!
Anela showed up on time as promised, and played her Harp beautifully throughout our holiday party. All of our guests enjoyed her music. Highly recommend!
Anela took time from her busy holiday to come to our house and play for a dinner party. Everyone enjoyed her music.
Anela was a pleasure to work with, and she was both professional and personable. She arrived on time, set up efficiently, and was responsive to requests. She plays beautifully, and selected music that put a smile on everyone's face. Without exception, guests were delighted with live music that created a happy mood for all. Anela helped make this event memorable for all.

Thank you Sissel for having me to your beautiful home and for your wonderful hospitality! It was a true pleasure.
Anela was easy to communicate with ahead of time, she arrived early to set up and played great music that made my show opening warm, unique and uplifting. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a beautiful harpist for their event.

The music was perfect for our wedding, and Anela was wonderful and helped keep stress about the weather to a minimum.

Dear Ivy,
Thank you so much for the kind review. It was a pleasure working with you and I'm so glad everything worked out with the rain. I know that you and your husband will have a long and blessed marriage.
Warmly,

Her harp playing was beautiful and she played many contemporary pieces to which the audience could relate

Thank you Eddie and Dell! It was a real pleasure to play for your magical ceremony. Blessings for a long and happy marriage!
Anela is an accomplished musician! She was attentive to every detail and our requests. Anela also showed genuine joy when she was playing her harp and even when she was taking her moments of pause. We loved her gentleness and eagerness to please. We hired Anela trough Gig Salad and all of our guests at the wedding, during the ceremony and the reception, just adored her! We would definitely hire Anela Lauren again for any events. Thank you Anela!!
We hired Anela for our small outdoor wedding ceremony and couldn't be happier. She was easy going, professional and able to handle a last minute traffic jam!

I have clear lines of communication. As soon as you provide the general location of the event, I will give you a quote. Once your deposit is received, we will be confirmed. Full payment is required 2 weeks before the event. For weddings, I ask for song choices for at least the bridal walk and recessional - if you would like to choose more songs from my repertoire that is great, or you can choose genres and let me play what feels right in the moment. If you have special requests I need to know as soon as possible so I can determine whether they can be arranged to the harp. Depending on the song, I may charge extra for this service. I will arrive early to set up and will play for you with joy! I look forward to working with you to make your dreams come true.
I grew up playing the piano and switched to the harp because it was ever so slightly more portable. I played professionally for 13 years on the island of Kaua'i, 7 years in Boulder, Colorado and just recently moved to Coos Bay, Oregon. I have a small lap harp, Lulu, which is perfect for small spaces and remote places, and a full-sized celtic floor harp (a Thormahlen Swan) named Guinevere, who has a lovely curly maple body and strong, resonant tone. I am dependable and easy to work with.
Harps cannot get wet. If there is any chance of rain, a canopy or indoor venue must be provided.
