Sara Stix's Reviews

5 out of 5

Sara was the best! She really made my wedding, from the moment she arrived to when she was playing and then after her set, she was a total joy to have around. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Just wanted to say a ginormous thank you for all your hard work and help on last night’s show. It was absolutely amazing and we couldn’t have done it without you or your musical direction! I am so delighted with how it went and hopefully you enjoyed too. - Rachel McAndrew - Glastry Advisory LTD
