Amanda is a gifted professional singer! She did 3 songs for our mom’s memorial service and each one that she delivered was powerful and inspiring. She also took the time to suggest a couple songs that ended up fitting very nicely in regard to how it represented our mom. Everyone I talked with, commented how special the music was at the service. She is a very dedicated and humble person to work with. I was glad we had her provide the music. Everything went smoothly and we felt very supported at our time of grief and remembrance.

Response from Amanda Ellison:
Honoring a life lived is one of the greatest blessings of what I do. Thank you for allowing me to honor your mother in song! It was a privilege
I would hire Amanda again and again and again. This was by far the best decision we made in our wedding entirely. First of all, she is a beautiful person inside and out. Secondly, her talent is unmatched. She has the most beautiful voice and is extremely talented. Not only did she travel for our wedding Day, but she made multiple trips to practice with us so we could hear the songs, but she also met with us individually to go through our song choices. She walked us through different options on how the songs could be sung and she listens to what YOU want and what your vision is - and it was better and more beautiful than I could have imagined!!! 6 months later and we are STILL being complimented on the ceremony piece sticking out the most to our guests (and our personal favorite part of the entire day). It was such a moving experience that we will cherish forever and we could not have had that without Amanda.
Wedding Singer
Amanda Sue Ellison has a wonderful voice and is even a more exceptional woman.
She sang for my daughter’s Wedding three years ago, and my son’s Wedding last year both attended by nearly 300 people. People still comment on the gorgeous music. So… guess who’s singing for my final child’s - (daughter) - wedding this summer?
Amanda is equally adept at singing solo, or in harmony with others, as well as a acapella arrangements. Her special ability to smile and connect with the congregation while singing makes her vocal gifts even more of a unique experience. She is thoroughly professional yet personal in her delivery .
For my children’s weddings she harmonized wonderfully in four part harmony to a song I had written As well as soloing at several parts . She also sang an acapella four part rendition of an adaption of Pentatonics version of Cohen’s “Hallelujah” - but with lyrics that were much more appropriate for a Wedding Ceremony. Not an easy version - but done unforgettably well.
Amanda also sings in a duo group known as “The Preachers Daughters” that perform frequently throughout Midwest venues.
I myself have been involved in music performance for nearly 45yrs and can attest that this woman has the vocal quality and engaging personality to bring smiles to faces and even make jaws drop at her performances.
You will not be disappointed.
Hers is certainly the Voice of the Angels…
Wedding Singer
Amanda brought everyone to tears at my husband's funeral service. Her voice was beyond our expectations!
She sang solos for two of the songs and also led the congregation for two hymns. Amanda singing The Lord's Prayer was absolutely beautiful. Aside from her unbelievable voice, Amanda was aware of how hard it is for families to make decisions during these days proceeding a funeral. She stepped in with a giving heart to handle all of the details of the music with the church and the pianist/organist. We will forever be grateful for Amanda.

Mary Beth, thank you for this wonderful review, it was my honor to sing and I think one of my favorites will always be How Can I Keep From Singing. Blessings, love Amanda
Amanda was so wonderful to work with. She was the perfect reflection of the vision we had for the wedding ceremony, and her contributions to help make it the perfect day were spot on. Amanda is not only an extremely talented vocalist, she is a lovely person. Working with Amanda, I knew we did not have a worry in the world. She handled everything with kindness, and the utmost professionalism. Her voice is absolutely beautiful, and we felt so fortunate to have found her. Many glowing remarks from those in attendance.
Classical Singer
Amanda is a dream to work with. She was patient in planning my wedding suggesting songs and providing her expertise. Amanda communicated with us every step of the way to make us feel confident and prepared. Amanda has the most amazing voice and made it feel like she was singing to you. After the wedding we have gotten endless compliments on her gorgeous singing!! Can’t be more thankful to her and recommend her enough.

Response from Amanda Ellison:
Molly, thank you for choosing me to be a part of one of the best days of your life! It was an honor to behold your love. Thank you for including my spouse and I as guests for your incredible reception! What an incredible day. God bless you and your beautiful family, now and forever!
Hired Amanda for my parent's Celebration of Life ceremony. Planning was effortless. She arrived on time with her own equipment (which worked perfectly.) Her voice is amazing and delivery was lovely. Received many compliments from attendees. Feel lucky to have found her! Would hire her again for any event.
Funeral Music
Our congregation hosted Amanda for a worship service, what an incredible experience. She joyfully shared the gifts and talents that the Spirit has given her. She shared not only her music but also a few short messages that resonated with members. Fresh perspective, new eyes are a gift when given the opportunity. We are a rural congregation and as many other congregations we face particular challenges with having access to music-- we are grateful that we found her and look forward to having her back this upcoming January.

Response from Amanda Ellison:
What a joy it was to meet the incredible, loving congregation you so beautifully shepherd. Thank you so much for opening your doors and hearts to me. Cannot wait to see you again!
Gracious, prepared, timely, beautiful voice, beautiful background tracks, beautiful sound balance.
I led worship for years, and I also wrote music and arranged music for various instruments, so I'm probably more picky than the average person. Amanda had arrangements for the hymns that were exquisite. This was my dad's funeral, so it was very difficult. It was really really important for me to have anointed and skillful music. I literally had never met Amanda before the day of the funeral. She arrived on time, which was very important, did all the set up on her own, did her soundtrack with no drama (musicians can sometimes bring a lot of drama with them), was gracious with everyone, sang BEAUTIFULLY. She made everything easy, on a very, very difficult day.
Thank you, Amanda!

Amanda went above and beyond to graciously accommodate my and my mother’s wishes for music at my mom’s memorial service. She sang three solos acapela, and her voice beautifully filled the chapel. Amanda also skillfully led the congregation in singing two hymns. She added beauty, warmth and grace to an emotional day. My mother was honored and would have undoubtedly loved it! I’m so grateful.
Funeral Music
I've had the privilege of working with Amanda when I needed someone to lead worship, and for special events. She is professional and and a voice that is truly a gift. As a worship minister she is someone I trust to come and lead the congregation I've been entrusted with when I am gone. Her heart for the Lord and sharing music with others is evident in the presence she brings!

Amanda did an amazing job singing at our womens event! She has a beautifully powerful voice. She was was friendly, professional, and accommodating to work with!

Praise & Worship Leader
Amanda sang at my parent's gravesite. I selected a few of their favorite hymns but the most special was "In the Garden". She also sang "How Great Thou Art" and "Old Rugged Cross"
Amanda's voice was angelic and beautiful! It was also comforting that she said a prayer over the service.
Amanda took time away from her family vacation to sing at the service and I was very grateful.
I am sure her voice was heard to the heavens and I felt my parents watching over us during that special time. Amanda helped make the occasion even more memorable with her lovely voice.
