Review Centre: Classical Soloists

"We contacted Caroline for our wedding in August, we were delighted to hear Caroline was available and was happy we had found the professional we were hoping for. We were told she would send an invoice in a few days, after a lengthy delay we received an email informing us that she was double booked but hoped we could find someone else for our day.... not quite the wedding professional you would hope for. Beware if you are looking to book."

Invoices are sent out within a week of a verbal or written confirmation as detailed on my auto-responder, although I endeavour to send them out sooner. In Hollie’s case I discovered, on writing the invoice that unfortunately, another person had requested and accepted a quote for the same date within the same week. The process had been to enter the date into my diary when the invoices were sent out to avoid any confusion, as many quotes are given out, but not all taken up. The fact that this rare situation had occurred was communicated to Hollie within the week of her written communication that she wished to proceed, and before the invoice had been sent out. Additional time had been spent sourcing and purchasing the best version of Hollie’s desired song as she had requested something outside of my repertoire list and I wanted to make sure that I had found a suitable version prior to writing Hollie’s invoice. However, processes are continually improved upon and the booking process has now been rectified so that a provisional booking is entered into the calendar at the point of a verbal or written confirmation, before an invoice has been sent out in order to prevent disappointment. - Caroline

"Hi Alan, just wanted to drop you a quick line to say a huge thanks for playing at our wedding at The Ravenswood. It was amazing that you learnt a new song for us, so it could be played during the signing of the register. Having you play during the wedding breakfast made it so much better than just having an album playing music in the background We had so many comments of how great you were and how it was a really nice addition to have you play throughout our day All in all, you really helped make our day the most special day we could have imagined Thanks so much again Mr & Mrs Philpott "

"We had Emily perform alongside us on the West End Bhangra Musical Tour 2019. Emily learned all the songs expected of her to the highest standard and it was an absolute pleasure working with her and we will most definitely be working with Emily in the future."

"We booked Sarah to play for our wedding ceremony and reception in October 2020. We thought we'd have to cancel but then the rules changed again last minute and Sarah was happy to play for us even though we only gave her a couple of week's notice! We are incredibly happy she could do it, it really made the atmosphere so wonderful even though there were only 12 of us. Whether you're having a big or small ceremony she is 100% worth booking, and we're so happy to have booked her again for our celebration next year. "

"We hired Mehreen to sing at our Christmas Ball. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a classical singer. What a voice! She sang classical and modern opera to suit our theme. She was professional at all times. Communication with Mehreen was excellent, answering my questions no matter how small. I will be keeping Mehreens details on file for future events and I will certainly be recommending her to others. "
