Lucy's Reviews

5 out of 5

Our guests have not stopped raving about Lucy since our wedding and it is so easy to see why! We could not have picked a better singer to help make our day so perfect. Lucy is so incredibly talented, lovely and was just a beautiful presence to have at our wedding. From my very first message Lucy made us feel completely at ease and that no request was too much. She was so friendly and excited to hear all of our plans. On the day, every single moment we heard Lucy sing was just heightened and we cannot believe how incredibly she bought our favourite songs to life! We cannot thank Lucy enough for learning all of our song requests including a few sentimental ones for our late nan and dad. Lucy's song choice on the day was just completely us and we loved singing along to every song she sang. Her videos do not do her voice justice at all, she is absolutely incredible. PSA to all wedding couples, please please please book Lucy!!

Lucy was great from the minute we made an enquiry to saying goodbye on our wedding day. I wished we had booked her for the whole evening as we and our guests loved listening to her music and singing. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again for any future events we have. Thank you Lucy

I can use my PA to play music in between my sets during my breaks but not after.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually take between 30-45 minutes to set up my PA.

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

My set list is crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, I am definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event and I always suggest picking your top 10 song choices from my set list so I can include them on the day.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely!
