Hi Debbie, awh thank you so much for leaving this review! It was my pleasure meeting and performing for you. Hopefully, see you again in the near future! :) All the best, Abbi-Kaye (Viva la Vintage) x

I booked Viva La Vintage for my husband's 70th birthday party after seeing her at a local jazz lounge. She did not disappoint. We had a fabulous evening. Abbi was so professional. She made the event personal to my husband which made him feel special for his special party. Her voice is amazing and suits the genre she sings. She knows how to get the party going and how to get everyone up dancing and enjoying themselves. I cannot recommend Viva La Vintage enough. Thank you for a fabulous evening!

If you're in the market for a vintage wedding singer, look no further than Viva la Vintage! I recently had the pleasure of hearing her perform at my own wedding and it was an absolute delight. Abbi-Kaye has an incredible voice that transports you back to a bygone era. Her vocal range is remarkable, and she effortlessly croons through popular songs from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. But it's not just about the voice - Abbi's stage presence is something to behold. Her energy is infectious and it's impossible not to get caught up in the joy and nostalgia of it all. Overall, Viva la Vintage's performance was one of the highlights of the wedding. The guests were tapping their feet, swaying, and singing along throughout the evening. If you want to add a touch of vintage charm to your wedding or any event, you can't go wrong with Viva la Vintage. Highly recommended!
