5 out of 5

We first met Gem 💎 at the Mecure hotel during a wedding fair. As we were walking out she asked if we had sorted our music for our day. Which we said ‘yeah we got a dj’. We both knew live music was so much better than a dj, but keep costs down we weren’t looking for anything. Gem responded ‘that’s not music’ and we got talking …. Gem mentioned country music, and performed Wagon Wheel in front of us, we were sold from that moment. Originally Gem had two years to practice and learn three songs. Unfortunately circumstances changed and it turned out to be two months! Understandably only one song was able to be learned. (and that was a push due to Gem herself getting married a matter of weeks earlier!) And oh my goodness, what a goosebumpy moment when she was performing; Tennessee Orange - Megan Moroney. 🧡 Everyone who attended our wedding complimented Gemma and how amazing her voice is. We had Gem for the whole day and we are so incredibly grateful for being able to have her share our amazing day with us.

When we booked you for our wedding on 30th May, I want to say from start to finish you was absolutely incredible. Over the two years between booking and our wedding day, communication was excellent. You remained in regular contact with us, discussed set options with us, and was always happy to accommodate changes to the schedule. Your flexibility in swapping sets around to fit the timings of the day was hugely appreciated and made everything run seamlessly. On the day itself, your vocals were simply amazing. So many of our guests commented on how talented you are, and I received compliments of you throughout the entire day. One of the highlights was when you collaborated with the saxophone player, which created such a fantastic atmosphere and was a real talking point among our guests. We genuinely could not have been happier with how everything turned out. Your professionalism, organisation, and incredible talent helped make our wedding day so special. We are so grateful and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding singer.
