August 12, 2026All of my wedding guests were impressed with her performance and she was incredible to communicate with. Extremely professional and kind, she learned and played all the songs I requested while also providing backtrack music when I needed it. Truly incredible!

July 12, 2026Annelle was professional, communicative and efficient. Upon meeting her, you could tell she had a beautiful soul. She made my ceremony so special and played my requests. It was a surprise for my groom and as soon as she started playing, he was already in tears. It was amazing!

April 13, 2026Annelle was so lovely to work with. I planned a surprise proposal in the park and Annelle was professional, sweet, and quick to respond to my questions and unique requests. Her music was stunning and absolutely transformed my proposal. 10/10 recommend! Thank you again Annelle!!
