Music Services

“Last Sunday was fantastic! I felt that Lauren’s song choices and verses were incredibly relevant to what God was speaking throughout the entire service. What a great response that I received from our congregants and Board also. I really felt it was a great ‘fit,’ and I thank you for your heart of worship and for the people!”

Pastor Johnny Burke, New Beginnings Wesleyan Church

“Lauren did a fabulous job with the special music for a memorial at our church. She was professional, on time, and easy to work with, both for our church coordinator and the grieving family. I appreciate her positive attitude, and willingness to be flexible. She even made some adjustments at the last minute at the family’s request. We look forward to having her back again.”

Jathan Good, Worship Director at Sunrise Community Church in Fair oaks, California

Audio Tracks:

These Feet to Run (Original Song – Demo Recording)

God of Light (Original Song, Lyrics from Collect)

St. Patrick’s Prayer (Words by Dwight Bael, arrangement by Lauren Hunter)

Talented pianist and vocalist, Lauren Hunter, stepped in to play and sing with my team when I was in a bind for a prayer and worship night at my church. She has a sweet voice and an even sweeter spirit. It was a two-hour set and she learned all of the songs ahead of time with excellence and dove in like a champ! If you’re looking for a leader who loves the Lord with a kind and gentle heart and who is genuine in her worship, call Lauren!”

Jillian VanTassell, Former Worship Director at Harvest Community Church, Roseville, California

Endorsements:

I had the privilege of working with Lauren for nearly six years at Valley Springs Church while I was the director of worship and arts. Lauren is a talented vocalist and pianist with a heart for leading worship and serving the Body of Christ. Lauren is also a talented songwriter and is being used by God to share her gifts at conferences and with other churches. Lauren inspires me and others with her creativity, her love of words (poetry, prose, and lyrics), and her passion for music, all for the glory of God and his kingdom.”

Paxson Jeancake, Director of Worship at Covenant Church in Palm Bay, FL

Lauren’s musical talent and desire to encourage heartfelt worship has been a gift to our women’s Bible study for many years. I appreciate how Lauren introduces each song with a personal story or a reflection related to our study, preparing our hearts to understand the meaning of the song and to connect with our Lord in worship. Lauren’s music invites us into the rest our Lord longs to give to us.”

Carole Pleis, Women’s Bible Study Leader for 30+ years

“It was such a treat to have Lauren come in and mesh so easily with our worship team both instrumentally and vocally. Lauren played the lead lines I asked while also tastefully filling gaps and adding to a very full, cohesive sound. Lauren very quickly picked up on the different sounds that the computer had to offer and implemented them with ease. I look forward to leading with Lauren again soon!”

Shane Brandsen, Worship Pastor at Locality Church in Roseville, California

Lauren officiated my Mother's celebration of life service and we could not have asked for anyone more caring and loving. She also beautifully sang several of my Mother's favorite songs. It was wonderful to have one person who could handle both the officiant role and provide the music.
Thank you Lauren ! The whole family appreciates everything you did !

Lauren is amazing. She has a wonderful way of connecting deeply with people very quickly, making you feel welcome, seen, understood and loved. Her heart for people and for God are evident. And yet at the same time she is very respectful and professional, meaning she follows through with what she says, and does a great job at whatever needs to be done. She is an excellent communicator, speaking with clarity and emotion. She's also a wonderful musician and songwriter!

Lauren Hunter was incredibly caring and compassionate as she led my mother’s funeral service. She took the time to learn about my mother’s life and our family, offered kind guidance as we planned, and checked in often to see how I was doing. The service was heartfelt, personal, and exactly what my mother would have wanted. The music she performed was beautiful and added such a special touch. I’m deeply grateful for the comfort and care she provided during a difficult time.
Response from the owner 19:29 15 Oct 25
It was an honor to serve your family, Kathy! Thank you for your kind review.

Lauren was absolutely amazing for the family she helped serve!

From start to finish, her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail truly makes any ceremony unforgettable. She takes the time to get to know the families and their loved ones life, and crafted something that felt perfect.

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant recommendation for our funeral home — highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a meaningful and memorable ceremony!

Lauren Hunter is a truly exceptional celebrant. She stepped in during a very emotional and difficult time and gently guided me through the process of planning my mom’s service with compassion, grace, and professionalism. From start to finish, Lauren had a thoughtful plan in place and helped bring calm and clarity when I needed it most.

Her kindness and caring nature shone through every step of the way, and it’s clear she was meant to do this work—it takes a special person to hold space for others in times of grief, and Lauren does it with deep empathy and respect. I’m so grateful she was part of this important moment in honoring my mom’s life.
Response from the owner 18:39 30 Jul 25
Niamh, Thank you so much for allowing me to serve your family during a difficult time. You were a pleasure to work with and I appreciate your kind words. Blessings, Lauren
