Taylor brought joy to my Mother's birthday celebration. Everyone enjoyed the performance. Taylor created many happy memories. Highly recommend her.
Taylor did a great job playing for our event. She helped elevate the evening to another level.
Taylor was great. We had her perform at my Brothers memorial service, and she was punctual, cordial, empathetic. Would hire her again!
We used Taylor for our wedding ceremony and I am so glad we did. She always responded in a timely manner and offered such helpful advice on how to choose the perfect music selection for each part of the ceremony. She plays beautifully and it really added sentimental value to our wedding. We are So happy that we chose her!
Taylor was very responsive with details and communication prior to our event. She offered a variety of musical pieces and kept our residents entertained for our holiday event. We received Lots of positive feedback from residents on how wonderful her music sounded. We only wish we could have listened longer, but our event was only a few hours! Definitely recommend her for events!
Taylor was very professional. She was able to assist with music selection, was very self-sufficient and didn't require assistance to get set up. Her music selection was a surprise from the bride to the groom, and brought tears to his eyes!
