Holly was such a magical addition to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I only wish we would have booked her for the entire reception! I would recommend her to anyone--she truly helped curate the perfect atmosphere for our guests, and created lovely memories for everyone in attendance.

Holly provided a wonderful mix of original and cover songs, and added an air of magic to the evening. She's terrific and we look forward to including her in another of our events.

Holly has a beautiful voice and provided the perfect ambiance for our party. Fantastic evening and Holly kept every one entertained - can not wait for our next wine and cheese tasting event where we can hopefully book her again. She came prepared, setup without issue, and provide amazing vocals. Would recommend her to others. So happy that we chose her!

Holly is just a great artist, she was so easy to work with, very understanding on a stressful day. Holly arrived early and prepared, she sang beautifully in a confined space, very accommodating, I would hire her again for future events.

Response from Holly Elise Rose:
Janice, I am sorry to hear you were disappointed. Due to travel and preparation needed even for small gigs, bookings must be done on a rate per hour basis, with a 1 hour minimum. I did try to make sure you understood that before you booked so that you knew even though you only wanted 3 songs played, I do charge that 1 hour rate. I do apologize if there was any misunderstanding and hope to be able to perform for you again in the future!
Holly was amazing! Highly recommend!

We had a corporate event following a conference in Salt Lake City, UT. Holly was very responsive leading up to our event and blew the crowd away with her talent. If we're ever in the area again for a conference and need live entertainment, Holly will definitely be our go-to! Thank you, Holly!

Holly performed at our Christmas Social where there were 100 guests spanning in age from 22 to 90. Everyone loved her! She was even able to get some of our guests to perform some fun Christmas songs with her! She was easy to work with before the event and always responded to my questions. Holly has a beautifully unique voice and is just as talented on the guitar. Thank you, Holly!!

Holly performed at our outdoor private event and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. She communicated clearly leading up to the event and performed as promised. Our guests loved it!

I have never done anything like this before and was a little leary of the website and the whole transaction. I came to find out that Holly is awesome! She was willing and able to do whatever it took to put on a great performance. She even went to the extent to memorize the lyrics to two new songs, not to mention how to play them. She was willing to meet us at a park and just walk up and start playing. It was awesome! I will be using her in the future and telling friends all about her. Her voice was great, she made no shortcuts, and was confident. Thank you Holly
