Olivia helped my fiancé and I create a short set list for an intimate wedding. She was flexible on the day but also sounded fantastic! Would 100% work with Olivia again.
Olivia was great to work with. Easy and quick to communicate with, helpful when suggesting songs, she even learned a piece to play that I picked out. A true professional 10/10 I would hire her again
Olivia was a surprise musical guest for a small birthday gathering in our living room. Olivia was great! She introduced herself and shared some of her musical history and current musical interests. Olivia asked about what we’d like to hear and played a range of music from Bach to Beatles. Her presence was one of the evening’s highlights.

Olivia is kind, professional, and endlessly talented. She has great work ethic and communication skills. 10/10 would recommend!!
Olivia played at our wedding ceremony and was very professional and tentative. I requested a song that she wasn't familiar with and she was more than willing to learn how to play for us. She made our day that much more special for us!
Olivia played at our wedding and it couldn't have been more perfect! She is great at responding quickly, pricing was great, and she was super patient as we had an outdoor wedding that we had to work around torrential downpours. Hands down the greatest experience.
Price Range: $200-$2500
When you hire Olivia, expect to be met with a clear professional who can make any space musically inviting. She comes prepared with her own equipment and understanding and a problem solved if things come up.
