What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I will always do my best to be flexible if the timings need to change, so please just let me know at your earliest convenience.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes certainly, no problem at all. I can play music through my PA system in my breaks or before my sets.

How much time do you need to set up?

I need 15 minutes to set up my PA system. I will always set up at a time that is convenient to you as the client.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Yes I am very happy to share my repertoire to clients in advance of the events, so that they can choose any songs they particularly like. I feel this is an important part of my performance. I have also been requested to sing ‘first dance’ songs at weddings and I am happy to accommodate this with prior notice.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes I bring all my equipment, but I can also plug into a PA system already at a venue by connecting my iPad and I am more than happy to do this also.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes I am happy to learn up to three songs - that are not in my repertoire if they fit into the set and I have prior notice. I am also happy to sing one song for a wedding ‘first dance’ provided I can find the necessary backing track.

We had Annalise booked for 2 hrs for our evening wedding reception! It's been nothing but pleasure dealing with Annalise leading up to the wedding and on the day as well. She has a wide spectrum of songs to choose from that can suit any taste. She has got that beautiful powerful gift of a voice and charisma that got everyone up on the dancefloor from the moment she started singing. And she also sang our favourite song for our the first dance which made our day extra special and memorable. Her recorded videos on the website don't do her justice, she is much better live.

I got in touch with Annelise to book her for a last-minute vintage themed gathering for the university literary society. She was a lovely warm presence and really made the event by singing a selection of jazz classics and pop songs in a swing style. I particularly enjoyed her rendition of Mr Brightside! Annelise brought her own equipment and all replies to emails were fast and detailed. She really set the perfect atmosphere so that everyone was up and dancing by the end of the night. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and I hope I will do again!
