Beautiful sound!

Bailey provided a pleasing classical backdrop to the wine and cheese party. My friends all complimented her and to be honest we were a little stunned when she began - it was that good!

I would definitely recommend hiring Bailey for your event.

Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

Bailey provided lovely background music for our son's wedding rehearsal dinner. We had discussed the playlist prior to the event and it was wonderful. She was able to adjust down the volume, as the room was rather small so that all our guests could converse with each other, while enjoying the superb music.

She is a can't miss.

Bailey was a great musical treat for the cocktails during our reception. She played a special request from us too, "Just the way you are" by Bruno Mars! My wife's favorite song. She was a professional throughout. There were many of us who sat outside even on a humid day because we wanted to hear her just play.A wonderful surprise and compliment for our intimate event!

Lovely to work with!

Bailey was very professional and was willing to work with me in the days leading up to my event (proposal) to make sure that all went according to plan. Played beautifully - both popular songs and classical works. Was very enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with!
