Franacesca sang during the appetizer and cocktail hour of my wedding. She started my Big Day with a Big Bang. I can't emphasize how great she is. I would recommend her to anyone!
I booked Francesca to perform an our non-profit's annual fundraiser. It was titled "Bella Notte", or Beautiful Night, as was to have an Italian theme. I knew we wanted an opera singer, and when I watched Francesca's videos, I knew I had to have her perform at our event. Francesca was a delight to work with throughout the event. When we chatted on the phone I asked her to focus on Italian themed music and she happily complied. I could tell that she wanted our event to be as successful as I did. She arrived early so we could run through the evening. All these things are logistics, but when she stepped on stage to perform....pure magic. I literally stood there with goosebumps as she sang. She peppered her song list with more traditionally well-known Italian songs and the crowd loved it! While she always maintained her grace and poise, she would interact lightly with the audience and it pulled them into her performance even further. She received standing ovations after her first set and at the end of her performance. I expect I will hear great things about this young lady. Her look, her professionalism and her voice are all absolutely exquisite!
We were graced with Francesca’s moving performance for my 87 year old mother’s surprise birthday party. Francesca brought her to tears, In her words, “ I could not fight back the tears of joy, your voice is so beautiful.” Not only did my mother tear up so did our guests. Francesca has such a gift and brings so much personality and grace to the stage. We were all in awe of her performance. I am going we can have her back again. She is amazing!!!
Words don’t do Francesca justice. Her performance left us all star struck! She was the perfect touch to the Phantom of the Opera themed birthday dinner. Her singing touched our very soul! Very professional. Highly recommended.
Incredible, on time, well dress, just perfect
I needed to book an elegant and sophisticated performer for a VIP Event with over 300 of our top clients. Francesca was the perfect choice. Her voice is incredible. She is beautiful and personable. The clients Raved about her performance. We will definitely book Francesca again!
Francesca is an extremely talented and entertaining performer. She scored immense adoration from a highly critical audience performing at a birthday event at a vineyard in Santa Ynez. We only have praises for her and hope to see her on a larger stage soon!
Francesca's voice is sublime. Her repertoire is broad--from great operatic pieces to popular romantic ballads. And, she is lovely to work with. Francesca Sola will add magic to your party. She performed at our recent anniversary dinner--a hotel banquet--and wowed our guests. We could have listened to her without end!
Francesca sang for our country club wedding in Malibu, CA. We decided on a song we wanted her to sing just two days before the ceremony, and she was extremely accommodating and even learned a new song for us!
I'd never hired a singer before, but Francesca was so professional and made everything easy for us throughout the whole process. She made sure everything was taken care of and even dressed to match our wedding color scheme! Several of my guests made a point to tell me how much her beautiful singing added to the ceremony. Five stars!
We were looking for a performer that would entertain our hard to please members at our annual installation dinner and Francesca had them on their feet clapping and wanting more. (this has never happened before) So, if your looking for a singer with a vocal range from powerful to delicate, sings opera to broadway, self contained, low maintenance, professional that will leave the crowd in awe then choose Francesca.
