Heather Moran sang at our wedding!
Not only does Heather have the most beautiful voice, but she is so kind and very easy to work with! She made our ceremony so memorable with her help to coordinate the order of our ceremony and all of the music that was to be played. She did everything she could to help us! She was fantastic. I have gotten so many compliments on our wedding music thanks to her!! I wish I had my ceremony music on a disc so I could always listen to Heather Moran sing all the time! She was incredible! I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks Heather!!
Mr. and Mrs. Ennessy :)
Response from Heather Moran:
Thank you so much for the kind words, you are a stunning couple and not just on the outside;) I absolutely loved working with you and planning the ceremony music. May you have joy and happiness every moment you share for always....
Heather and Gabriel were awesome! She worked with me from beginning to end on what I wanted as far as musical style and genre at my engagement party. The guests had a blast - and Heather was more than accommodating with regard to family toasts and making various announcements to our guests. We loved her so much that she'll be doing our wedding as well! Thank you Heather and Gabriel for a great night!
Heather was amazing and provided wonderful service! Such a talent!
When first investigating musical entertainment for our event, Heather Moran (and band) came very highly recommended. I had not hired musicians before and was a bit apprehensive about the process. Heather was an absolute dream to work with as we were planning the event, and the performance was stellar. The music was fantastic and really made for a very classy evening. Clients were impressed, everyone had a great time. From start to finish, an absolutely wonderful experience - we will definitely be bringing them back for more events. Highly recommend! Thank you, Heather!
I hired Heather Moran off a website, after hearing her demo, but without the benefit of seeing her perform live or even meeting her. She and I were able to speak on the phone and arranged most details via email. Even before our event, I felt comfortable with her.
On the night of our event, she and her band arrived on time (early) and really took care of themselves and their needs so I was free to attend to other party details.
Heather and her band are professional entertainers - that much is evident. She knew the right questions to ask before the event and knew how to handle the actual event, too, so that the volume level was well suited to conversation or for entertainment.
I have received a lot of positive feedback about our party and our great musical entertainment. I strongly recommend Heather Moran and her band.
Heather and the boys in the band we great. We have already booked them again for next year's Christmas party. All our clients complimented the music. The band played at the right volume, enough to hear them but not so loud you couldn't talk. They are a great party band. And good looking to boot!
Heather continues to delight our audience every time she performs at one of our events. She is the ultimate professional with a warm and personable connection to the audience. We recommend Heather highly and will continue to ask her back.
Since Heather did such an amazing job at our wedding, when we needed a singer for my mother's funeral I knew she was the one to go with. She went out of her way to make the ceremony memorable for all of us and her voice touched everyone that day. I'd recommend Heather for every type of event since her voice is absolutely beautiful.
Heather's voice is absolutely amazing. She sang at our wedding ceremony and made the day special for us in every way. She was so easy to work with and offered excellent suggestions to make our wedding that much better. Thank you Heather!
Heather's voice is amazing! We wish she could have joined the band for our reception too. We will definitely keep her in mind for future events.
It was a pleasure having Heather Moran at our Celebration event again this year. If we could we'd have her back every year, but we have to settle for every couple of years. She is wonderfully talented and a great to work with.
Heather did a wonderful job at our event and gave us memories to last a lifetime. I would highly recommend her!!!!
