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!
Violinist
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!
