We first came across Annika when she performed at a Ladies night function where she wowed us with her live performance and outgoing, friendly and sociable personality and talent. We decided we would love to book Annika to sing at our wedding. The booking process was straightforward via email, whatsapp and meeting Annika at Costa for a coffee and a chat. Annika looked stunning on the evening of 22nd June 2024 and set up her equipment as we had pre-arranged. Annika was flexible in her approach to entertaining everyone and made the most of the lovely sunny warm weather by performing outside to start off with. There's so much to say about how right Annika was for our wedding day and how everyone got out of their seats and enjoyed the eclectic mix of tunes throughout the evening. I would thoroughly recommend Annika for any event. Kind regards Hannah Harvey

I can't express how good it was to work with Annika. Hiring Annika for my wife's 40th birthday, she was so helpful in sorting out equipment and advice for the night. Then she smashed our party out of the park with her amazing voice and engagement with the audience. Thank you Annika!
