Punctual and very flexible with requests and different genres. Great evening and will definitely hire her again.
Pianist
We hired Ruby for our Conference reception, and she was incredible. Our attendees had not seen each other for 2 years and were looking to relax and spend some time with each other, and having Ruby there with her incredible voice sure did give them a chance to sit back and enjoy their time together. Such a great time, highly recommend you book Ruby for your next event.
Pianist
Ruby Jaye is just the best. I needed a professional on short notice for a memorial service. She contacted me right away, confirmed my needs and I booked her immediately. She communicated, showed up early, did everything I asked and more. I was relieved and happy before I even heard her play. Once the music started, it was clear that Ruby was like a gift from Heaven that day. If you need someone for any event, book this woman. You won’t be disappointed!
Singing Pianist
Ruby’s performance was excellent. She arrived early and had a complete setup ready to go. She played the ukulele and sang for two hours, the guests raved about her performance. I highly recommend her for an event!

Response from Ruby Jaye:
Thank you for the wonderful review, Heidi! It was a pleasure being a part of your event and I hope to work with you again.
Ruby was amazing. We hired her for my dad's funeral and she was fantastic. Beautiful voice. Super easy to communicate with. Overall a wonderful experience during a very difficult time.
Singing Pianist
Ruby put together a wonderful set of songs using both ukelele and keyboard. She is easy to work with, super talented, and has a lovely voice. My guests were impressed and so was I. Next time I throw a party, I’ll definitely be requesting her.
Ruby was excellent to work with. She was very through from start to finish. Her music and voice were fabulous, we will be having her here soon at our private club.

Response from Ruby Jaye:
Thank you, Emma! I had a great time!
I've seen Ruby Jaye perform several times. She always brings a wonderful, warm feeling to the atmosphere whenever she takes the stage. I am repeatedly impressed by her vocal and piano skills. She is a seasoned musician in my opinion and I would hire her in a heartbeat!!!
Singer/Songwriter
Ruby Jaye is not only extremely talented, unique sounding, diverse, and professional, but she is also very personable and made my event so much more fun and exciting! I recommend Ruby Jaye for any occasion!
Singing Pianist
Ruby and her band were the perfect addition to a lovely evening. I was impressed with her professional demeanor and blown away by the bands tight sound and comfortable aura on stage. Ruby and her band are super versatile and played so many classics that me and my sweetheart enjoyed as well as contemporary hits we were familiar with. The band was controlled and kept the music flowing making for the perfect atmosphere!
Pop Singer
Ruby Jaye entertained guests at my party for several hours taking minimal breaks. She kept music playing during breaks, and mingled with the guests, finding out what their favorite songs were and then performed them! She's great picking up new songs on the spot, and I love that she can play multiple instruments. I'm hoping to book her in a full band for my summer party next year.
