"Melanie was fantastic in every respect!
Planning the event and timings worked very well. She responded well to the things that happened on the day with flexibility and really helped make the event a great success. The music choice I left to her but with a view on the mood for each set. I was concerned that being a Sunday afternoon event we would find people reluctant to dance, however, by the end of the day it was really going strong and many people on the dance floor. I would not hesitate to recommend Melanie to people for similar events and wish her well in her music career."

My husband booked Melanie to sing at my 40th birthday party this weekend. She was brilliant and despite the miserable weather, created a great atmosphere and filled the dance floor. Melanie is not only a great singer, but also a friendly warm person who helped make me feel really special. All my friends and family commented on how good she was. If you book her for your event, you’ll not be disappointed. Thank you! Xx. Laura
