Tara was the best!

I had such a wonderful experience booking with Tara for my wedding ceremony. They communicated with me so effectively to make sure we were on the same page musically, and had such a positive energy that put me at ease.

And of course they played beautifully on the day. Our guests loved the addition of a live musician. I would book Tara again and again for any type of event. Such a talent!

Tara was incredible

Tara was a sheer delight from first contact all the way through my wedding. She was completely open to the songs I suggested and was ready to play them within a day or so. Showed up, looked amazing and sounded unbelievably good. Could not of gotten luckier. Please hire her for everything. We will!
