Reviews of Pianist & Violinist Marini Kelley

Marini was very professional and kind. She played beautifully for my friend's wedding. It added so much depth, warm, and joyful during, especially during the wedding segment.

Marini is a very courteous, humble, flexible, and most of all, talented and servant-hearted musician! She can play music that she reads, and she can improvise when she needs! She's highly professional, but still humble and is able to work with us on the fly when circumstances change, here and there. She's always to go the extra mile if it means a satisfied client, and a job we'll done! Definitely recommend!

The first time I heard Marini play, I was blown away... she was so beautiful and graceful on that piano! She is extremely talented and musical. She is very kind and gentle with others... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!

Marini Kelley played violin at Willing Helpers Medical Clinic’s 20th Anniversary celebration, and she was absolutely wonderful. Her music was beautiful and added such a special, elegant touch to the evening. She was incredibly kind, professional, and such a joy to have as part of such an important celebration for our clinic. We are so grateful she shared her talent with us and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and gracious violinist for a special event.

Marini was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly professional and arrived at our venue right on time. Even though we were a little unorganized during the ceremony, she handled everything with grace and professionalism, making the entire process feel effortless. My fiancé and I had a couple of special songs that meant a lot to us, and Marini took the time to learn them. She absolutely nailed both performances! Her talent is truly incredible, and she made our ceremony even more special than we imagined. I can’t recommend Marini enough. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and genuinely cares about making your event memorable, she’s the one to hire. Thank you, Marini, for making our day so beautiful!

I wholeheartedly recommend Marini to anyone seeking to elevate their event with exquisite music. Her ability to blend technical prowess with heartfelt emotion is unparalleled. Whether she is playing a solemn hymn or a jubilant piece, Marini’s music always uplifts the spirit and touches the heart.
In conclusion, Marini is more than a musician; she is an artist who paints with sound, creating lasting memories with every performance. Anyone in search of a truly exceptional musical experience need look no further than Marini.

Marini is so sweet and so easy to work with! She’s professional and very flexible with variety of music! She also composes music to add the special music JUST FOR YOU on your special day!

Marini is not only respectful to her clients, but she conducts herself in a professional manner. If she says she can do it, trust and believe she can.
You will not be sorry if you choose her for your event.

Marini is kind, serves well on every team she is on and is very talented in her craft! We have enjoyed having her play on our teams these last few years.

Marini is a truly talented with a rare gift for connecting with people through music. She is kind, thoughtful, poised and professional. She creates an atmosphere that is moving and memorable.
Every note she plays carries depth and emotion, making the experience of listening to her not only enjoyable but unforgettable. She is truly a gem!

Marini played Pomp and Circumstance and Goodness of God for my high school graduation. I was homeschooled, so the event took place in our living room. She was very professional. The second song, Goodness of God, did not go to her expectations, because people started singing along. That surprised her, but she kept playing, and, overall, it went very well.

Marini’s talent and preparedness is truly unmatched. She was flexible and adaptive as the schedule changed, some of which occurred the day of the event. I was able to rely on her knowledge of the music to help facilitate smooth transitions between the various parts of the ceremony. She really did more than what was asked of her and made my job as a wedding coordinator so much easier. I appreciate her talent and professionalism so much and would hire her again in a heart beat. Thank you again Marini!

Marini was nothing short of amazing! She performed at my wife and I wedding early this April and from the moment we first connected she was great. She is excellent at communicating with the client leading up to the event and covering specific details which made everyone much more comfortable. By doing this she ensured there was no confusion and that we were all on the same page. She plays very elegant, warm, and smooth regardless of the piece and she was the perfect fit for our wedding. She had no problem taking song requests, even if they were new to her and played them so well that you would not have known she had just learned the song recently. We were very proud of the experience she created for us, as it will be a life long memory. I can not thank her more and she is 100% my first call in the event a violinist or pianist is ever needed again! A true professional from start to finish and even during the rehearsal and the day of ceremony!

The regular pianist at our Church got sick on Friday evening, meaning Marini only had a day to learn nearly a dozen pieces, most of which were unfamiliar to her, including a choir performance. She adapted quickly to our liturgy, and managed to beautifully play everything from ancient chants to modern hymns. Not only did she perform well, she was also communicative, professional, and punctual. I look forward to working with her again!

I have gotten to hear Marini serve and perform on several occasions— she always brings her A-Game! As a fellow musician, I appreciate and admire her musicality, attention to detail, clarity, and her abundance of talent and developed skill in both piano and violin! She’s not only great at following the music on the page, but she is a master of improvisation as well! What an incredible player and servant of the Lord!

She assisted me with a song I needed to rehearse for an audition. I could not have been mire pleased nor more prepared.

Marini knows how to get a job done! She is extremely detail oriented and makes sure that she plays her absolute best! She is also super fluid and flexible when it comes to unexpected changes or issues. I can assure that she handles every situation with care and joy!

I have heard Marini accompany the praise and worship team at Liberty Church. She plays to the leading of the spirit and enhances the music with her impressive skill and abilities. She plays the piano so that the melody line is enhanced so the congregation can sing along to the music. I have throughly enjoyed hearing her play and look forward to hearing her play again!

Been on stage with Marini for years. She comes more prepared than anyone I’ve ever met. Not just good but also talented. Works well with a team and good at being flexible to change. When it comes to her instruments, I’m pretty sure there’s very little she can’t handle. Guaranteed to keep up no matter your stage.

Marini is a very talented pianist and violinist and a pleasure to have around! She plays piano in our church's youth and main service, where she really sets the atmosphere. When she plays violin at church as well, her full arrangements shows that she puts lot of skill and heart behind her craft. We are blessed to have her!

Marini Kelley is an accomplished pianist who plays with the anointing of the Holy Spirit and with great skill. We led worship for a women's event, and the praise and worship time was Spirit-led, God-honoring, and engaging. She has great musicality and timing to play with the right dynamic (piano/mezzo forte/forte) and balance to keep everyone engaged and participating in worshipping the Lord. She will continue to be my first choice for upcoming events.

Marini is an amazing pianist and an amazing person! I have watched her play both piano and violin for our church over several years and am in awe of not only her talent but her relentless pursuit of growth. She is kind and servant-hearted, always willing to pour into the younger generations of pianists. I can always tell when she is playing because of the beauty, dynamic quality, and excellence of her music!

It is an absolute joy to watch Marini use her gifts, she is incredibly talented and dedicated. Her mastery of both the piano and violin is nothing short of extraordinary. Each note she plays seems to resonate deeply, filling the space with a sense of peace and inspiration. Her performances are not just displays of technical skill; they are heartfelt expressions of her faith and devotion to the Lord. Her hard work and commitment to excellence are evident every time she plays, creating an experience that uplifts and moves those who are present. Thank you for being amazing, Marini!

Our permanent pianist had the flu and Marini was ready and willing at a moment’s notice (24hrs). It was a special church service with a choir special and She was perfect! I hope we can schedule her again Soon!

We had previously hired Marini to fill in as our Church's pianist, and after working with her, we quickly decided we'd like to hire her as a violinist for our Christmas Eve service. Since she was filling a more supportive role, she had more freedom to apply her own style and come up with her own harmonies. As before, she was communicative and professional, but she also impressed us with her adaptability and creativity. We're looking forward to working with her again!

Marini’s professionalism and consistent communication with me was impeccable. The piano performance at the wedding was breathtaking from the moment she performed. Hearing ‘Simply Beautiful’ by Maxwell played live as I walked down the aisle was unforgettable and an emotional moment. This could not have happened without Marini. Thank you so much for making my day special.

Marini plays the piano and violin for our church. This past Sunday she played a violin solo. Afterward, a handful of people told me how moved they were by it. Her piano playing, too, is confident but not "in your face." In addition to her musical abilities, Marini is also extremely easy to work with and a lovely person.
