I would just like to say a massive THANK YOU to Catherine for singing at our wedding. You were absolutely amazing and gave us the best memories! All our guests loved you and still now comment on how amazing you were. I would highly recommend Catherine and wish we could have our wedding day all over again just so we could sing and dance with Catherine for another hour! Forever grateful and thank you for making our wedding day that extra special.

Cat was one of the best touches in our wedding, her voice and style just made our time unforgettable and our guests thrill. Everyone remembers her from our special day and commented on her amazing voice. On top of her obvious talent, she’s just a delight to work with. She was always responsive, made our wishes possible even learning a new very difficult song for us and she’s just such a nice person. I would and I will count on her again whenever I have another chance and I’m looking forward to watching her perform again in any of the lovely venues she works in. Thank you Cat for creating such incredible memories we’ll never forget.
