Ruth was wonderful.

Ruth was great. Her selection of music was perfect for my sister’s Celebration of Life. Her voice is lovely and the harp added serenity to the occasion. Ruth is charming and delightful to work with. I recommend Ruth without hesitation.

Magical Mermaid & Musical Delight-Highly Recommend!

We had the most magical experience with our mermaid entertainer! Even though they couldn’t swim in the pool due to venue restrictions, they made the day unforgettable by bringing their beautiful mermaid tail to the water’s edge and enchanting the kids with their singing and ukulele playing - a creative solution that everyone loved. What impressed us most was their flexibility and professionalism in accommodating a last-minute change with such grace and positivity.

My six-year-old said, “I want her to go to my next birthday because I want to have another mermaid birthday. She couldn’t swim in the water, but her tail went in the water and it was still fun! She’s a very good singer and very good [at the] ukulele.”

Highly recommend them for any special event-she truly brings the magic!

Highlight of the party!

Ruth was such a good sport with the weather taking a turn. It was 63 degrees and drizzling but she went along with it and everyone had a blast!
