Jemma's Reviews

5 out of 5

Jemma sang for the guests at our wedding dinner in Windsor. She is a lovely, happy person with a beautiful voice. Brilliant value. Highly recommended. Our family and friends all had the highest praise for Jemma. Thank you.

Jemma sang beautifully at my wedding. I requested her to sing 'Simple Gifts' and I received compliments from my guests that enjoyed her singing. I would definitely recommend Jemma to sing at future events.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The fact that clients did NOT realise I was the singing till halfway of my performance! They have thought I sounded like a recorded track. They have described my vocals as 'lush' and relaxing.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

The Hambledon Vineyard, The Easthampstead Park Hotel and The Castle Hotel Windsor.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Amy Winehouse, Laura Fygi, Ella Fitgerald, Baila Nova, Doris Day, Janaelle Monae, Diana Krall, Rosalia de Souza, Esperanza Spalding, Astrud Gilberto, Lea Michele, Anna Netrebko and many more!

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

We always try our 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 us know.

How much time do you need to set up?

Set up usually takes 30-60 minutes before the performance time. As soon as thePA is set up a free playlist service can be played 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?

Yes. Alternatively, if you are having trouble choosing music for your event, I can provide song suggestions. You are also welcome to submit a 'Do not play' list to ensure you won't have music that you dislike.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes. I have my own PA system suitable to the size of the venue and event.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes. I offer to learn 3 new songs for free. For additional songs after, I charge £10 per song to take into account for rehearsal times and song production.
