Iris' Reviews

5 out of 5

Iris was amazing during our mother’s funeral reception. She has this sultry soothing voice and sung the songs we requested beautifully. Highly recommended. Again, Thank you Iris!

5 out of 5

Me and my friends had seen Iris perform before, so we expected nothing less than the amazing atmosphere she created for our friend’s birthday party! Arrived on time, was very friendly and communicated in an excellent manner before and during our event. We also had a fun sing-along as my friend loves singing, so it was a very special moment. Thank you and can’t wait to have you back!

I booked Iris for my sister's 18th - she loves vintage PMJ style, so Iris' act was perfect for the occasion. She arrived on time, was very professional and bubbly and we had a great time! Her selection of tunes matched the theme of the party, and our guests had an amazing experience. Thank you again!

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Definitely Hotel de Paris at Monaco.

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

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run-up to the event just let me know.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £100.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 30 minutes to 1hr before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I am definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, we supply the PA for an event up to 80 people.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you.
