Chess was a wonderful addition to the wedding reception
Thank you
Chess was absolutely fantastic and was the talk of our wedding. I would not hesitate to recommend Chess for any event. Everybody, including the hotel staff, were blown away by Chess and how well she gauged the audience and got everyone up on their feet. Fabulous addition to our special day.
Chess was a great success and kicked off the party with fantastic style. Everyone was truly surprised when the waitress burst into song and revealed an amazing voice. Thanks Chess
I booked Chess to sing at my daughter’s wedding as part of the church ceremony. Her performance was absolutely stunning! She sung Ave Maria, The Prayer and How Long Will I Love You, a mix of classical and modern and her voice was absolutely beautiful and her presentation spot on. Everyone, commented on her contribution and she really added a special aspect to our day.
She was very organised and professional too. I can’t thank her enough.
Chess was totally amazing in every way she has an incredible very powerful voice and knows how to project real passion and feeling into the lyrics. Chess knows how to work a venue during her act so that everyone there feels special and wants to join in. An added bonus is that Chess is also very flexible and happy to assist with tuning her act to suit the occasion which means you can personalise it as much as you want. I cannot rate her highly enough and an absolute pleasure and delight to work with. If you want your event to be truly memorable and an occasion that leaves people on a high with wonderful happy memories then go for Chess.
Chess was amazing at our wedding in Southampton! We arranged that it would be a complete surprise from my husband and only I would know. Chess communicated with the venue and myself throughout the process to arrange it all.
Our guests loved it and it certainly got them up on the feet after their main course! Her voice was great and her energy amazing!
Thank you Chess, love Tomos and Kieran.

Chess was fantastic. She got everyone on their feet and joining in. The atmosphere was electric!
Feedback from guests afterwards was that they all loved it and had never come across such an act before.
From the moment I made contact with Chess she was bubbly, professional and very helpful. She has a beautiful voice and was an amazing singing waitress. She was definitely the highlight of my party and I cannot recommend her and her service enough.
I hired Chess as a surprise singing waitress at my wedding (for my wife and guests) Chess was amazing. she owned the room, got everyone up and dancing and singing. It was everything that I wanted and more. Everyone commented on how good she was and what a good feeling she created from her performance.
Chess Taylor was absolutely amazing from the moment I booked her. Communication whenever I was unsure on something and all information I needed.
Her set was amazing, everyone was up dancing and singing. Every single person enjoyed it. She even took the time to learn the Welsh national anthem for me. Chess is the best singer, the most loveliest person and above all she has created memories for us for a lifetime. We are eternally grateful
What an amazing singer!
Chess made the whole experience truly fabulous, from communicating with the venue, to us having no idea which waitress she was until the event!

I have performed at a vast amount of events and venues including weddings, private events, parties, UK tours, headlining as a guest act on cruise ships and so on.
My standard sets are usually up to 1 hour, but I can sing for as long as you like (within reason!) and with a 15 minute break after each hour set.
I have my own PA system but not lighting.
Yes I have up to 5 million coverage of public liability insurance and yes my equipment is PAT tested. .
Not a huge amount, I have two speakers on stands that can be spread out or compact, a floor monitor, a small mixing desk on a table and a mic stand.
Please always ask because it may be that I know the song already even if it is not in my repertoire! However I am willing to learn any new songs at £15 per song as it will take time to learn and I will need to source a backing track.
For every hour set I perform I will require a minimum 15 minute break.
