Response from Jessica Haddy:
Thank you congratulations your wedding was so beautiful
Jessica was way to work with, was able to play the music we requested inside a couple survival requests from my husband’s home country. She was prompt and able to adapt to the unexpected changes.
Response from Jessica Haddy:
Thank you!! Everything turned out beautiful
We hired Jessica to perform at my wife's birthday at a restaurant called Mozambique in Laguna beach. This was a surprise performance for my wife. The venue was a rooftop outdoor restaurant overlooking the beach and Jessica's performance was amazing to say the least. I would have paid twice as much had I known the experience and performance would be at this level. Jessica arrived in advance, coordinated with restaurant management and gave a stunning performance to our party. Thank you Jessica for making this day so special for my wife and our family. 5 Stars are not enough.
Jessica did a great performance to our Regents Point Residents. Jessica was able to play at 3 of our levels of living; Independent, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing. At the higher levels of care, Jessica was able to spend a little more time and talk with the residents and accommodate their requests. Brought up lots of fond memories for our residents and it was great to see the interaction. The residents would love to see Jessica return!
Response from Jessica Haddy:
Thank you for the review I really enjoyed performing for the residence
Jessica played beautifully for our wedding ceremony, we received tons of compliments on her behalf! She was easy to communicate with beforehand and everything went according to plan during the wedding. She had TONS of song choices that could accommodate any request! We would highly recommend Jessica to play at any event. Thanks Jessica!
We are so happy we got Jessica to play at our wedding! The music was beautiful! She showed up early, walked down about 150 steps to the beach, and even played extra time when guests showed up late. We chose three songs for the ceremony out of her long list of songs and they were perfect! Her playing is excellent, and she was such a nice person and easy to work with. Thanks Jessica!
Jessica was the violinist for my two person wedding and did a great job. It was hot and sunny outside and she solely planned on playing at the beach, however we decided to climb up a cliff side to have our wedding above the waves crashing, and despite the fact I recognize she didn't sign up for that kind of adventure, she was totally game and made it happen, even risking her valuable Violin for our memories. We appreciate it Jessica!- Matt and Jackie
Jessica and Ryan played at our outdoor wedding ceremony, which made an already breathtaking setting even more magical. They are both masterful musicians, with a varied repertoire that could be adjusted to any musical taste. And, they are both absolutely lovely people. Thank you, Jessica and Ryan!
Jessica played at our wedding along with a guitarist and my husband and I could not have been happier! She was professional, highly skilled, and had a smile on her face the entire time. She was the perfect addition to our event and I highly recommend hiring her for yours!
Jessica played at my wedding in Del Mar San Diego this past weekend. She made my wedding. She played for our guests arrival and for our beautiful ceremony. She also played at my sisters wedding a couple years ago and that's when I knew that i would be so blessed to have her on my special day. I highly recommend Jessica to play at any special event. She plays beautiful music and is very professional.
