• July 14, 2018"Gemma's singing was superb and it made our day so special - all of our guests commented on this afterwards.
She was also very professional both in the lead up to the wedding, and on the day itself. She was happy to help
with all of our questions and I really appreciated her advice on the timings of my entrance song!

• May 11, 2018"Gemma was absolutely fantastic and performed an outstanding set that brought my friends and family totheir feet applauding her wonderful soprano expertise. She specially researched and prepared two songs that she had never performed before but were on my wish list and this was amazing. I will definitely recommend her to anyone else.
