Made the Wedding Magical!

We could not recommend Kailey Shaffer enough!! We booked Kailey to play for our wedding in the Santa Barbara Mural Room and she was absolutely fantastic. From the get-go, Kailey provided clear communication on pricing and song availability and gave us plenty of runway to choose and discuss the songs available. She showed up perfectly on time, and was already set up and playing by the time our guests began to arrive for the ceremony. She was professional, incredibly kind and accommodating, and played beautiful music for us and our guests. She was there in every capacity that we needed for the big day. If you need someone reliable and talented to play live music for your event, contact Kailey Shaffer and she will be there to knock it out of the park.

Military retirement ceremony

Absolutely the best! Kailey is so incredibly talented. She worked with us on a custom playlist that added so much depth to my ceremony. Additionally she was accompanied on the piano by her father, Kevin, creating an amazing duo. Book her now for your event because her schedule tends to fill up quickly.

Thank you Kailey!

Kailey made our ceremony everything we dreamed of. Prior to our wedding Kailey did such a great job communicating with us to find out exactly what we wanted for our wedding. The day of our ceremony she arrived on time was super professional and everyone loved her we could not have been more happy with our decision to have her play at our wedding.
