I was not able to give Melody the rating she deserves. If the ratings go to 5, she's a 10! If the ratings go to 10, she's a 20! With only a thread of hope left that I would be able to find just the “right” person to sing a very personal, spiritual song at my son’s wedding rehearsal, my prayers were answered. Melody transformed my vision into a reality from the instant the first notes of the song were strummed. From her heart, to her fingers, to her guitar, she held the entire dinner party captive using herself as the conduit to provide every attendee with the precious gift of a lifelong treasured memory. Priceless! I have two more single sons. We have all agreed that Melody is now a family tradition. When the next two sons find their soul mates, we know it's only Melody that will be able to invoke the same tears of pure wedding joy. We're so sure, we've already booked her for their future rehearsal dinners. She’s awesome, she’s incredible, she’s Melody Klemin!

Her name says it all; Melody! Melody was the perfect addition to our small outdoor ceremony and cocktail reception. Her music set the tone for our guests as we enjoyed ourselves and celebrated a beautiful wedding day. She listened to us and provided music suggestions and even learned a song at our request (A Thousand Years). Melody is is great to work with, flexible, professional. Our guests commented to us, that her music was the perfect addition to a perfect day. We recommend her without hesitation and you'd be fortunate to have her as part of your ceremony.

Melody did an amazing job at our wedding! She is professional, personable and very talented. She learned new songs just for us and her acoustic interpretations were beautiful. She made our ceremony so special and we received numerous compliments from guests about the reception music. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Mel's acoustic version of our favorite song (Brandi Carlile's "The Story") single-handley turned us into blubbering fools. She learned the song just for us and her tender delivery was pitch perfect. Hands down the best part of our wedding. Hands. Down.

Melody was the perfect compliment to our Wedding Celebration & Reception. Her ability to play so many wonderful songs (and sing so beautifully along with) was just the magical touch we had been looking for to create our special day. I would recommend her wholeheartedly!

There are no two ways about it--Melody Klemin made our wedding magical. We had such faith in her skill that we asked her to do a rendition of "our song" (The Killing Moon - Echo and the Bunnymen) for our processional during the ceremony and to back up our friend she had never met (and who lived several states away) for our first dance (Just Like Heaven - The Cure) during the reception. Not only was our faith not misplaced - her incredible talent cannot be states in words, but she was fantastically easy to work with and flexible. She was very clear about what she needed and provided most of the equipment herself, and even helped us problem solve our set up. We cannot recommend Melody enough. To have her as a part of your event is an absolute treat.

We had Melody manage all of the music for our wedding. She played acoustically before the ceremony, electronically after the ceremony, and then created playlists for the dinner service and dancing. She asked us (a lot) what songs we wanted her to learn, and then learned them all! She was willing to collaborate with an out of state family member, at his request, and they played so beautifully that our guests wanted more. She was a joy to work with and we couldn't have been happier that we chose her for our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
