Lauren's Reviews

5 out of 5

Lauren was absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful voice and lovely lady. Couldnt have wished for a more suitable singer for our garden party. Absolutely wonderful.

5 out of 5

Lauren's beautiful voice was perfect for our private dinner event. She performed 2 x 45 min sets throughout our dinner and it was the perfect background music to our evening. All of our guests were commenting on how incredible she was which really brought that extra something to our event. Highly recommend her and I am sure we will hire her again :)

5 out of 5

From the feedback we had from our guests, Lauren was amazing and perfect for the charity event. She sounded amazing and was perfect as either background music or to stand and listen to in awe during cocktail hour of the event - exactly what we wanted. Thank you!

Customer questions

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

I will 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?

My set list is crafted from previous piano-vocal performances however, I am definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.
