Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 28, 2023•From Beverly Hills, CA
Natalie is fantastic! Not only is she a truly talented musician - guests are still talking about what a treat it was to hear her songs - she is also a delight to work with. Natalie performed at a costume party, and she so happily dressed up! She learned a song that was special to our guest of honor and did so much to engage the crowd. I can't wait to work with her again!
:
Thank you Jamie!! That was so much fun! Not gunna lie, I absolutely loved dressing up and seeing everyone’s costumes as they arrived! Such a joy!

Engagement Party•Reviewed on June 13, 2023•From Ventura, CA
Natalie was wonderful in every respect. She was enthusiastic, kind, eager, so talented, excited, and just spectacular. She was creative, suggested ideas, and implemented exactly what we'd hoped for. We met her once, for our proposal, and she felt like an old friend--just a genuine person, a kind soul, who added a particularly special, memorable touch. We couldn't have been happier. And we cannot recommend her more highly or with more gusto.
:
Thank you so much Dan, it was my honor to be a small part of such a special moment for you guys!! Everything you created was so special and memorable!! Hope to see you guys again and share more music! :)

Natalie was so amazing!! Her music is beautiful, and she sings like an angel. Really, I had goosebumps listening to her music.
She has a wonderful presence, and has a great sense of humor. She had our guests laughing in between songs, and she made lifelong fans of all our guests with her music. I highly recommend her for any event.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 13, 2022•From Paso Robles, CA
We booked a live musician during our dinner reception because we think live music makes the food taste better!!
Natalie did such an amazing job for our wedding day! She followed up with us right after booking to get a feel for what type of music we want her playing, where she will set up, and making sure she had everything squared away before the big day. That brought us so much ease knowing she was on top of all the details beforehand!
On top of all that, her voice was SO beautiful and had an extensive song list option. All of our guests were blown away by her! Thank you Natalie for adding that special detail to our perfect day!
:
Thank you so much Monique! It was really wonderful to play for you guys and be a part of such a special evening! Best wishes to you on this amazing next chapter of your life!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 14, 2020•From Camarillo, CA
She was amazing. This was my first time hiring a musician for a party & I was a little nervous. Everything was just so easy from start to finish with her. She was the perfect addition to the party, not only did the guests absolutely love her, the neighbors did too. We were worried about possible noise complaints, but instead received song requests from neighbors who sat on their porches to listen in. Natalie spent her break learning how to play one of those song requests that she wasn’t familiar with. She absolutely nailed it, along with everything else she played/sang. She’s super cute, talented, and professional and we look forward to working with her again.
:
Thanks so much Sheri! It was such a pleasure to sing for everyone and I can't wait to play for you all again soon!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 30, 2019•From Ridgecrest, CA
She was an excellent singer and entertainer ! She stayed nearly a couple hours beyond her scheduled performance and I was actually concerned during the reception that she needed to take a break and have something to eat. I was just glad that we were able to booked with her on a holiday weekend for my daughter's wedding. It made the night more special and memorable on her special day !
:
Thank you Damasa, it was lovely to sing for your daughters wedding and meet the whole family. I really loved the sing and dance alongs with everyone and was honored to be a part of their day!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 7, 2019•From Ojai, CA
I hired Natalie to perform at my husband's 50th birthday celebration and she was fantastic in every aspect! I found her to be incredibly responsive, warm and professional when we communicated about the plans for the party. She provided a song list that allowed me to make selections and show her what kind of mood we wanted, plus she kindly learned three songs of our choice for the evening. Natalie's voice is beautiful and unique and her talent on the guitar and ukulele are tremendous. We loved the music and our guests were truly blown away! She made the evening so special. Hire her... now.

It was so much fun to sing for you and celebrate Matt!! You guys are awesome! I'm still playing "Life to Fix" too! :)

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 25, 2018•From Cambria, CA
If you are lucky enough to book Natalie Gelman then I would do it. I requested her through Gigmasters and she quickly responded. She was very accommodating both in designing a perfect play list for the wedding reception and in regards to the timing. I planned a surprise for my bride which Natalie was very ready to coordinate with my photographer and me. Everyone loved her at the dinner and even to her surprise we were all up dancing to her enchanting acoustic guitar. A night to be remembered by all. Thanks Natalie for making it a wonderful evening.

Thank you Rick! It was so fun to play surprise music at your reception and I was surprised everyone loved dancing so much too, that was the best!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 12, 2018•From Ojai, CA
Natalie was wonderful. She was professional, talented, accommodating, and added something so special to our wedding. Her folksy vibe went perfectly with our venue. She learned a song for us and played it beautifully during the ceremony. We also chose one of her original songs to be played during the ceremony and it was great. Our guests were impressed by her and I can honestly say she was one of my favorite parts of my wedding (my husband agrees!). I would highly recommend her!
:
Thank you so much Melody! It was an honor to work with you and your husband on your wedding music. Love the pieces you chose and had me learn, maybe I’ll see you two at a Patty Griffin concert if she ever tours out here. :) Congrats again!!

Natalie was a wonderful professional and very talented musician. Working with her was like working with a family member. She understood exactly what was needed , And went 180% maybe 200% above and beyond what we were expecting. It was a pleasure working with her and she made my daughter's wedding and intimate memorable experience. we are a fan of hers forever.

Thank you so much Susan. It was so nice to play for the beautiful and fun ceremony and cocktail hour! I loved all the music Lindsay and Eric chose too including the Motley Crue challenge! Congrats again!

I give her 5 stars for her performing at my wedding. She was absolutely fabulous worked great with me, even though I changed my mind like 100 times. She even learned a couple new songs to make my wedding perfect. Any future events I do and need a live musician I'm going to hire again.

We hired Natalie to perform for our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception. She went above and beyond to make our big day extra special, learned new songs that we requested and even worked with one of our friends to perform together during the ceremony. Her performance was flawless. Through the entire planning process, Natalie communicated promptly, making sure we were always on the same page. Talented, professional, and just an overall kind, thoughtful and wonderful person! THANK YOU NATALIE!

Family Reunion•Reviewed on July 25, 2016•From Carpinteria, CA
Natalie performed for our family of 14, on an outside patio where we were seated around a fire pit. She did an outstanding job. She has an excellent voice--kind of "bluesy" with a good range. Her guitar and ukulele playing are both excellent. She readily adapted to what we wanted to hear, adding a few of own choices which were well received. But what makes her unique is her ability to relate to her audience and get them involved. She was both a true professional and likable in all aspects.

Engagement Party•Reviewed on June 7, 2016•From Big Sur, CA
I was fortunate enough to have Natalie be part of my surprise proposal. My proposal involved having a guitarist learn my fiance's favorite Colbie Caillat songs and then perform them on a Big Sur beach. Not only did Natalie stay in constant communication with me in order to get the set-up of the songs just right, but her attitude and energy was so comforting. She drove up from Ojai to Big Sur, was on time and coordinated with my photographer to be in the perfect spot. Natalie's talent is absolutely beautiful. She performed amazingly in acoustic fashion while on the beach. She sang and played the songs exactly the way I had pictured it and made the proposal perfect.
