Hi Deirdre,
We shall never ever forget your beautiful singing at our wedding. To say we were blown away would be an understatement, we were amazed!
Deirdre, you have a unique talent and I’m so proud that you were part of our day. We have received so many compliments about you since the wedding.
We were delighted with the final songs so thank you for your help and suggestions. Everything was so easy and you were an absolute pleasure to deal with.
We were both delighted to have you be part of our wedding day and we highly recommend you to future couples who wish have you sing for their wedding.
Thank you and best wishes for the future.

What can we say. The calibre of your performance is just second to none. I could listen to you for hours on end. I am so glad we brought you together with the wonderful musicians and I sincerely hope we can do this again in the near future. But it’s not just about your performance that makes you so special – you’re so enjoyable to work with, so relaxed and comfortable and are always smiling. Working with you is just good for the soul.
