Kailey and her father did such an amazing job at our wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and our guests could not stop raving about them! They are such a talented duo and we couldn't recommend them more. Kailey was super friendly and easy to work with. Her and her father did two custom arrangements for us (songs that were not on their list) and they came out perfect. We highly recommend booking them for your wedding- you won't regret it!
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.
