Christina sang at our wedding about 5 years ago and it was one of the highlights of our big day. From early in the planning process, she worked so closely with us to help guide us on song selections (as we were married at a Catholic Church there were limitations) and her knowledge on this matter was hugely beneficial. When it came to the big day, her professionalism was unmatched and her singing was a highlight for many. I received so many compliments on the ceremony music all thanks to Christina. Her warm nature and kind spirit make her such a treat to work with. Recommend 10/10!
I loved every detail of my wedding, so for something to be a standout memory says a lot. Christina was flawless (both in performance the day of, and in professionalism leading up to the event), and I wholeheartedly recommend her.
Christina has a beautiful voice and is a true pleasure to work with. She is kind, professional, and has a wealth of experience in various genres. From Bach and Mendelssohn to bluegrass or pop, she delivers a wonderful performance. Highly recommend!
We asked Christina last minute to sing at a memorial service for my sister. From the moment she replied (in the midst of all that last minute anxiety) she was balm for the soul - communicative, efficient and reassuring. She didn't know one of the songs we requested but hardly needed more than the name to figure it out (which was good because we couldn't have provided more). Heading out to the church the morning of the service I was aware that while I had filled the slot for a soloist, I had no idea how well (we hadn't heard a sample of Christina's work). Christina arrived at the church early and disappeared in the back. I was going over some things with the pastor when suddenly the church filled with music, so completely full and beautifully that I thought someone had switched on a high volume recording. But it was Christina practicing, accompanied by the church organist, and it was possibly the most gorgeous rendering of Schubert's Ave Maria I have ever heard. I had to stop and sit down and cry. Later she sang an equally beautiful Irish ballad (which, after consulting with us, she performed a cappello). It wasn't just me; after the service countless people, including the pastor and the organist, commented on the sheer beauty of her voice. I don't have the language for music but my in my words I would say that Christina's voice is voluminous, rich, crystal clear, and expressive without being operatic. Christina also has a very gracious manner. This was also much appreciated by my family and I given how emotional the occasion was for us. If I could sing I would sing Christina's praises. As it is, I will just recommend her unequivocally. I wish her a long and happy musical career.
She got up to sing a country song at the Rodeo Bar in Manhattan. She has a completely original voice that just blew me away. Most of the people around me seemed really moved as well.
