Mass of Remembrance

Jayne played at my Mom's mass of remembrance. She was wonderful to work with and gave me the support I needed to have the event be meaningful. Her voice is like an angel and the harp was so soothing. We can not thank her enough!

Breathtaking music and a true professional

Jayne played during our wedding ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful. My husband is from Northern Ireland, so we were looking for something a bit different that would reflect his heritage. Jayne was instrumental in choosing our music and helping us to realize our vision. Not only was her playing extraordinary, but she was extremely profession and a joy to work with. I can't count how many people approached us after the wedding to tell us how amazing the ceremony music was. I have no hesitations in highly recommending her and have already passed on her name to other friends that are getting married!

Creates an atmosphere of elegance and harmony

Jayne Demakos performed the music at a wedding for which I was the officiant. This calls for someone who is skilled at tuning into not only the specific requests of the couple, but to the subtle shifts and nuances of holding a large group in a certain "feeling of anticipation and harmony". Jayne did this in such an easy manner, and her music was absolutely beautiful! You would be wise to call her to be part of your event!
