“What can I say other than … wow! You were amazing. I had guests approaching me all day to tell me how wonderful you were and what a beautiful voice you had. It was such a pleasure to have you as a part of our big day. I know I didn’t get the chance to speak to you but I also had many comments on what a lovely person you were as well, the verger of the church (the one who met you as you arrived) was waxing lyrical about you! There were many guests who also wished they had had the opportunity to thank you personally, as they thought you were wonderful, so may I take this opportunity to also pass on their thanks. A special thank you for doing such a fantastic job of our personalised song too, it really made my day; you are so very talented. My little niece on the front row was in her element singing along to you, I have never seen her sing so passionately, she even had her eyes closed – she was in awe of you. Apart from your voice, I would like to thank you also for your professionalism, nothing was too much trouble for you. Thank you. You really and truly made one of the biggest moments of our life very special and memorable. Thank you for making our day magical.

WEDDING, WIGAN – 2ND JUNE 2017
FROM LAURA AND MATTHEW
“We spent a lot of time searching for the perfect singer for our wedding and from the moment we heard your voice, we knew that it would have to be you. You have the most beautiful voice and your skills as a pianist are out of this world. We asked you to perform our favourite song “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran whilst I walked up the aisle which was a song that you informed us that you would have to learn specially for the day. You did not disappoint and created the most beautiful and romantic atmosphere in the room and reduced most of our guests (including myself) to tears. We could not have found somebody more perfect to sing during our wedding ceremony.
Your talent was clear for all to see as you continued to perform during our welcome drinks and wedding breakfast despite some silly requests from our drunken family! Every single person who came to our wedding commented on how amazing you were.
Your communication and professionalism has been fantastic from the moment that we asked you to play for us right up until the day itself and we would recommend that anybody looking for a wedding singer who just oozes class should get in touch with you. We just wanted to say a huge thank you, you were everything that we could have dreamt for and more and made our wedding day perfect.”

WEDDING, BUXTON, 2ND APRIL 2016
FROM HANNAH AND KELLY
Carolina performed at our wedding. She sang and played the piano during the ceremony and wedding breakfast and she literally brought tears to our guests’ eyes. We chose all of the songs from her extensive repertoire so we knew that we would love them all. So many of our guests commented on her beautiful voice. Carolina even got roped into leading a sing along during the meal. What a good sport.
In the evening, Supersession, Carolina’s band, joined her and she transformed from a solo singer to a member of a soulful group. Again, we handpicked all of the songs so knew what we were going to get. The dance floor was the focus of the room and Carolina belted out song after song. We did not want to evening to end.
Not only did Carolina bring something extra special to our day, she was also a pleasure to work with from our initial enquiry to the end of the last song. She stayed in regular contact with us throughout the months leading up to our big day. This means so much when you are wedding planning and counting on people to be part of your day.
We could not fault Carolina and would recommend her without reservation. She is a real talent and a true professional. We are so glad that not only was she part of our special day, she helped to make it the best day ever.
WEDDING, LORTON, CUMBRIA – 19TH DECEMBER 2015

Carolina was extremely professional right from the start, responded quickly to any queries right up until the wedding so there was never any need to worry.

I would not hesitate in the slightest in recommending this lovely lady for any event, she really added something special to our day

BIANCO ITALIAN COFFEE SHOP, SALE – 15TH JUNE 2014
FROM KEITH
“I can’t sing. I do sing, in the shower, in church and in places so far from any other human being that I feel reasonably safe but if I am honest I can’t sing and probably shouldn’t. I wish I could sing and, after today, I wish I could sing like Carolina. She has something about her that isn’t just heard, it’s felt as well.
I don’t mean that her singing has you welling up although some of her songs are so sweetly delivered that it can easily happen. What I mean is that there is a quality to her singing that bypasses the ears. It comes in somewhere at the back of the neck, like a lover’s touch and makes you feel her music somewhere deep inside.
There have been various singers at Bianco over the last few months and I have enjoyed all of them. Some I would listen to again were I in a place where they were playing; some I would make a conscious effort to go and see again but Carolina would draw me back without any decision on my part because hearing her sing is not just about listening it is a wholly different and uplifting experience.
It’s not just me, as I look around the whole café seems entranced and transported to a place that is somewhere beyond the walls of the building.”
