Thank you so much Barbara! Sandy
We love Sandy's music! She provided holiday music for a family party of about 25-30 people. She shows up early, has professional equipment, and has a beautiful voice. She has an extensive playlist and even played a few children's songs for our "dance with the band" toddlers. We will definitely hire her again, she can play ANY size venue.

Thank you Laurel, your family is lovely to be with for such a speacial holiday occasion. Best Holiday Wishes! Sandy
I loved Sandy. She showed up 45 - 1 hour early to set up. I had her play for a small party of family and friends at my home, about 20 people total. It was easy to see that she would also be great with a large event, she comes prepared. I will hire her again. The music was beautiful and created wonderful atmosphere at my party.

Response from Sandy Hathaway:
Thanks Yope & Eric! Best Wishes for your beautiful family and journey! Sandy
My fiancé and I booked Sandy 8 months before our wedding so we could be as prepared as possible and avoid last minute stress. She was very communicative and worked with us to come up with a great set list for our event. However, a month before our wedding, Sandy emailed me saying she had to cancel. I was freaking out and so stressed because we got married on Valentine's Day and knew it would be hard to find a replacement on short notice. I was so upset that we booked Sandy so far ahead of time to avoid stress and ended up being more stressed out just weeks before our wedding. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Sandy because we never got to hear her sing in person and were left hanging just a month ahead of out big day.
Sandy is very professional and very nice. She was such a pleasure to have for our graduation party. Wonderful voice and set list! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much Marylou!
Sandy performed for us at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in June for our Corporate Event. She was professional, punctual on time and most importantly -- a great musician! She provided wonderful background music for our networking event and was a pleasure to work with.

Response from Sandy Hathaway:
Thank you Gabrielle! Your review is appreciated!
Over the last decade I've known and listened to Sandy's songwriting, as it reflects her life and as she has continued to work at getting out there and playing her songs, in many ways performing her life and observations of others in tight little song packages. Sandy seems to have a rare mix of music and art, with both organisational business sense and a desire to continue to grow as an artist, a writer and a performer - I'd urge you to share the journey, an experience shared is an experience that grows.
