I had the pleasure of having Jennifer perform on the keyboard during my wedding ceremony, and she was great! Right from our initial contact, Jennifer impressed me with her quick and considerate responses, her willingness to accommodate my requests, and her overall friendly and professional demeanor. She is very talented and played each song flawlessly. I highly recommend Jennifer for any musical event or occasion. She exceeded my expectations and contributed to making my wedding day truly memorable. Thank you, Jennifer!

Jennifer performed at our wedding on April 2023 and our guests loved her! Her music was recognizable and elegant. She was very easy to deal with and we would highly recommend her for any function.
