Elizabeth made a dramatic and comical entrance at my husband’s birthday party, appearing first at the top of the stairs in our home, and descending singing Happy Birthday Mr. President. She continued to ham it up and sing 3 more songs to my husband- and the guests - and was quite fun and entertaining. She went over and above in her preparation for our event, visiting our home twice to test out the sound equipment and get the lay of the land for the surprise. We did have a hiccup with her equipment (because of the surprise, she had to set up a day ahead and couldn’t test it just before her performance), but she handled it with ease and performed a capella without a problem. Everyone loved it and thought she was great fun! Her 15 minute appearance at the party was the highlight of the night and created great fun and memories for years to come.
Elizabeth did a great job engaging the audience during our Christmas event. She was able to stop the crowd, engage them, and give children a magical holiday experience as they sang with her on stage.
I had a birthday party for a family member who turned 80 and his wife who turned 77. And I needed a Marilyn Monroe impersonator. I looked online and saw Elizabeth. She was great. My family loved her. Best pick ever. We had so much fun. My family can't get over how much fun they had. She included people and she was so funny. Elizabeth did an excellent job. She made a lot of people happy. Well worth recommending her.

Holiday Entertainment
Response from Elizabeth Young-Collins:
Thank you for the great review! Santa Claus and myself, Singing Ms. Santa, both enjoyed entertaining and engaging the children and adults in your lovely school. Your arts and crafts worked well; telling Santa Claus their Christmas wish eagerly sitting on his lap and then drawing on the papers that you left them on the table the wish that they expressed and putting it in the Santa Claus mailbox. It was fun seeing the younger ones dance as I sang!
Elizabeth assisted us at our 2019 Indy Bubble Run. Great stage presence kept everyone engaged. So happy we found her!
Emcee
I felt like Elizabeth did a great job connecting with our volunteers by talking about her personal experience with her dad being on Meals on Wheels. Her speech/performance helped remind our volunteers how vital their work is to seniors and also had a good mix of humor as well. She even included a song or two, which everyone really enjoyed.
Motivational Speaker

Singer/Songwriter
Response from Elizabeth Young-Collins:
They say success is gaining respect from those you respect and I certainly do respect and admire Beverly and all the folks who she has brought to my gigs. She has attended St Patrick's Cure for Cancer concert for three out of the four times we produce the show! Now that's loyalty! It was also a treat to see her at other concerts she has attended over the years which include holiday gigs on the cold snowy nights of winter.

About
Began performing publicly as teenage Miss America, now a professional singer who was first hired to perform with two bands at Octoberfest at a resort hotel (Eastover Resort, Lenox MA) in 1995 and have been singing and entertaining at private and public events ever since. A motivational entertainer who is a Singing Mrs. Santa for Boston Police and Chambers of Commerce and private holiday parties. I am comfortable with every variety of crowd, large and small. Complete with sound system, have performed with bands, solo pianists and guitarists and solo with background orchestral tracks. Sing in French and have song list of more than 400 songs.
Additional Booking Notes
I prefer that I use the facility’s sound system And I use my own microphone. However,
If it so happens that you want me to bring my own sound system, all I need is an electrical outlet. My quote is contingent on what kind of equipment I would have to bring.
