Customer questions

The sincerity and honesty of my performances. A bride once quoted “..she made my wedding aisle walk memorable by being herself. That is when she is in her best element..".

The Royal Senchi, Ghana, Chateau dos clos, France All Hallows on The Wall, Liverpool St, London UK The Broadway, Barking, London UK

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

I performed with Gospel Touch Choir, to film for a scene in Casualty, 2022.

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, as soon as possible.

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

This isn't a service I provide at the moment.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually require at least 45 mins to an 1 hour. This includes sound checking, stage-positioning and warming up. For more intimate or smaller affairs, a shorter time can be agreed upon.

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'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure I find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

If the venue has its own PA system, I prefer to use what is available. However, I have a Portable PA system which is suitable for small to medium sized venues of about 50 people. This is an additional fee of £80.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If there is a special song you'd like me to learn that is not on my song list, I am happy to do this for you providing enough notice is given (usually at least 3 weeks). However, if there is more than one special song, there is a fee of £30 per extra song for this service, to take into account rehearsal times etc.

Roni performed two of my Grandmother's favorite songs. She touched the hearts of all those present and really brought a warm moment of smiles to the close family. Her location, listening to snippets of her voice from previous performances, her professionalism and timely response when discussing the potential booking convinced me to booked her. Book her without hesitation!

I organised Roni to sing at the wedding reception of a friend. All attending were captivated by the performance. She sang a beautiful set of songs, the Bride and Groom both said they loved it, and it made their event very special.
