The Perfect Night!

Galy was wonderful - very communicative and self contained. Exactly what we needed when making this last minute booking. She brought an air of elegance to our Paella Picnic, the perfect addition to our VIP beach event. 10/10

The Perfect Background Music for our Baby Shower

Galy was early to set up and was playing music as our guests arrived. Her classical guitar strumming was the perfect background to our elegant Co-ed Baby Shower. The music floated from room to room in the house. Galy even received a round of applause at the end from our 40 guests, men and women.
