*Celebrating music for children & families! Familiar favorites, lively originals, lots of participation with movement & dance. I have rhythm instruments for the kids to play & scarves for shaking. Balloon animals for birthday celebrations. Perfect for ages 1-6.
*Preschools, festivals, daycare centers, libraries, malls, country clubs, summer camps, private parties - I've even done shows at the Kennedy Center. I sing, play guitar, use puppets, props & generally cavort about the stage.
Oh Susannah gracefully integrated background music and children's show at our preschool's end of year celebration, lending a lovely spirit to the event. The whimsical lyrics appeal to children and their families!
I hired Oh Susannah to come to my son's school and perform for his 13th birthday. He attends a school with children who all have moderate to severe disabilities/special needs. All the children, teachers, aides, and support staff were invited. Everyone had a blast! Susannah's bouncy, fun music (singing and guitar with background track) kept everyone dancing. I would absolutely hire her again! Thanks, Susannah!
Response from Oh Susannah:
Thanks so much for inviting me - I loved meeting all the sweet students & awesome staff. Had a blast, myself! Sincerely, Susannah
Oh Suzanna really made our little girls birthday party a great success. Great music, lively fun games, cute balloon animals - perfect! All the other parents asked me how I found her!
Oh Susannah was fantastic! She really engaged with the kids and they loved dancing along to her music. She even learned one of our daughter’s favorite songs for the party!
Response from Oh Susannah:
Thanks so much for inviting me - have a wonderful year with your sweet little girl!
She sounded fantastic, the kids loved her, and she was super professional and reliable. I highly recommend her.
Susannah was delightful, very flexible and responsive to the needs of our group, a dozen children ages 2-3 gathered for my granddaughter's birthday party. She involved the children in singing and making music and capped her performance by making balloon animals for the kids. A real hit-- she made the party a success!
Our 2 year old had a great time and loved the songs
I booked Oh susannah for my 2 yr old’s mini party at his daycare/school and she was so easy to communicate with from the start. On the day of the event, she arrived punctually, set up right away and started the performance without any issues. Because of her show which featured requested and popular children’s songs, my son and his friends were dancing, jumping, and singing along with delight. She also made balloon animals at the end, which was a sweet icing on the cake that the kids kept talking about throughout the day. I highly recommend Oh susannah for any event that calls for an easy, magical time for children and adults alike! Thank you Ms. Susannah!
Susannah was a wonderful entertainer for my 6 year old's birthday party. She has a wonderful way of entertaining kids and her chill personality worked well for our group.
She was wonderful! This was a nice addition to our party. Thank you!
Oh Susanah was the highlight of my 3 year old's birthday party. The whole crowd - kids & adults - loved her music! And as an added bonus, she was a pro at making balloon animals. Such fun! Highly recommend!
Oh Susannah was wonderful. She had a fun set, and the kids had a lot of fun singing, dancing, and playing their tambourines (provided by Oh Susannah) along to her music. We really appreciated how she reached out in advance to ask about our daughter’s favorite songs, and came prepared to sing them all. 10/10!
Oh Susanna was so great at mg daughter’s first birthday! She showed up well in advance of the time to set to set up and made everything very easy. The music was fantastic and engaging. My daughter loved it so much.
Susannah was just wonderful. Great with the kids, awesome voice and absolutely a pleasure to deal with.
Response from Oh Susannah:
Thank you so much for inviting me. Have a wonderful year with your sweet little rock star!
Susannah was awesome, she played a ton of songs and even learned some of our kids favorites! She brought instruments for the kids to play and was super engaged and entertaining!
Susannah arrived early and had everything set up for the event. She was engaging and brought instruments for the children to "join the band". As a part of a larger festival, Susannah provided a fun and upbeat atmosphere for the entire event. Wonderful working with her and definitely recommend!
Response from Oh Susannah:
Thank you so much for inviting me - it was a lovely event on a beautiful day... I really enjoyed playing with the families & kids!
Oh Susannah was perfect! So wonderful having a singalong time for my daughters 2nd birthday. She was wonderful and flexible and understanding of toddlers’ attention spans.
Response from Oh Susannah:
Thank you so much for inviting me! It was a beautiful day to be outside with the kids, playing & singing. Hope you have a wonderful year with your sweet girls! Sincerely, Susan McNelis/Oh Susannah
Oh Susannah was great! The kids loved her, the timing was perfect, she was on time, and very flexible when our timing was a bit off. She made our two year old's birthday super special!
Oh Susannah/Susan was a perfect fit for our 2-year old's low-key backyard birthday party! She was incredibly responsive, easy to work with, kind, and sang all our child's favorites. The kids were dancing and all the other parents commented on how great she was. I am so glad we found her and would highly recommend!
Oh Susannah was exactly what we needed for my daughter's first birthday party. The majority of the crowd as 3-5 years and their parents. The performance was perfect for that age range and a backyard birthday party. She brought pre-sanitized rhythm instruments, which the kids loved. Super easy to schedule and asked and performed favorite kids songs.
Response from Oh Susannah:
Thanks, Cara! It was such a wonderful group of kids & parents - just a beautiful day. Have a lovely year with your sweet little one!
This was our second show with Oh Susannah and we would be delighted to invite her back again. She is polite, professional, easy to work with, and does a great, interactive show for the children... not to mention she has a beautiful singing voice. If you have her come to your event or party, you will not be disappointed.
Oh Susannah! joined us on February 15th to celebrate my son’s first birthday! The performance was wonderful, and we love that she accommodated our request to have songs that fit a “teddy bear picnic” theme. The interactive portion of the performance appealed to the kids of all ages, and the adults also enjoyed her singing. It was super easy to coordinate the booking and details for our event. We definitely hope to work with Oh Susannah! again in the future.
Response from Oh Susannah:
I had such a wonderful time at the party! Thanks so much for inviting me to perform. Have a wonderful year with your sweet little boy...
Oh Susannah was amazing! We had such a wonderful time listening to her wonderful guitar, playing instruments and dancing. She provided the best bells, scarves and rattles. She held the littlest one (at 6 months) to the oldest (age 5) attention throughout her entire set. Baby shark even made an appearance! I highly recommend her show.
Wonderful lady! My son and his friends had a blast! She arrived on time and went over the time we requested to finish making balloon animals for the kids, which were a hit. She was engaging and great with the group of toddlers we had. Would definitely recommend and hire again!
Response from Oh Susannah:
Thank you for inviting me, Lorena! What a lovely group of children... Have a wonderful year with your sweet boy!
Great to work with, On time, and good entertainment for kids!
She was great! The children loved her. Kept them entertained.
Oh Susannah was a hit at our 2 & 3 year-olds combined birthday party. The kids (ages 2-9) were thoroughly entertained and the adults enjoyed her musical talent, as well. The balloon animals at the end were an especially nice touch. Would highly recommend her.
Our children and staff loved Oh Susannah's show. She did a great job engaging the children, has a beautiful singing voice and is very professional and friendly to deal with. Many thanks! We will be in touch for another show in the future.
Response from Oh Susannah:
Thanks so much! I had a wonderful time performing at the preschool. Super audience & staff - can't wait to come back! Sincerely, Oh Susannah
We had Susannah for our 1-year-old's birthday party and she was marvelous. In the audience, we had more than a dozen kids ranging in ages from a months to 10 years old, and she kept them all engaged with singalongs, simple dances, handing out instruments (including tambourines and castanets), and goofy good humor. The adults had a blast too. And the balloon animals at the end of the show were the cherry on top. From an admin end, she was responsive and on time--a total professional. I wouldn't hesitate to engage her again.
Response from Oh Susannah:
Thanks, Henry! I had a great time at the party with Luca & your fantastic community of friends. Have a wonderful year with your sweet little boy! Sincerely, Susan McNelis/Oh Susannah
Oh Susannah was so much fun. She entertained the little kids with fun music and brought instruments for them to play. The big kids had a blast too. They especially loved the ballon animals that she made.
Response from Oh Susannah:
Thanks so much for inviting me - the kids were great & we really had fun together!
She was great and it was exactly what my daughter wanted! Thank you!!!
Response from Oh Susannah:
Thank you! Your daughter & her little friends were delightful. Have a wonderful year with your sweet girl!
She was a great singer and very kind and patient. Kept everyone entertained with music, toys, games, etc. Would book again for the next party!
Response from Oh Susannah:
Hi Kay - just wanted to thank you again for inviting me to sing at the party! I really enjoyed the kids & moms. Have a wonderful year with your sweet little ones! Sincerely, Susan McNelis/Oh Susannah
She kept all the kids entertained and happy. My 4 year old son had the best time. Many thanks, Susan, for making his day very special.
She sang, played musical instruments with the kids, and made balloon animals. She even interacted with my family and was doing the electric slide 😂 I think she was having a great time also because she stayed past her time 😊 awe she’s amazing best entertainer I ever had 🥳
Thank you again, it was a pleasure having you
Susan is an amazing and super talented performer! She performed at my daughters' 2nd birthday party for 15+ kids and she kept each one engaged for the entire time. They were up dancing, singing, and interacting using various props and instruments. I think the adult guests had equal if not more fun than the kids! One of the kids even shouted out "this is the best day ever". Thanks Susan for making this such an unforgettable event!
