“Jay played the ukulele at my event last month and it was so wonderful. She curated the songs to match the vibe of the event, and it was so much fun to have a live musician! It definitely added an extra special element. She was easy to work with, punctual to the event, and really was a highlight of our after-party! I would highly recommend her for any event, and I hope we can hire her again next year!”
