Katie played at my daughter’s graduation dinner. Katie was the utmost in professionalism... responsive, pleasant, adaptable, totally self-directed during the event (which was much appreciated when so many others were approaching with questions re this, that, and the other). And that voice...beautiful!!! Katie’s song selection, volume, and impeccable performance were a perfect complement to the event! I recommend Katie without reservation.
Katie Ekin was great to work with! We were fortunate to have her sing the music genre that we liked. Katie was responsive, and personable. She worked really well with our DJ and venue coordinator. She truly made our wedding ceremony much more memorable and we would highly recommend her to anyone!
Katie played guitar and sang for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She played a combination of contemporary music and her own original work. She was super easy to work with, very professional, and has a huge amount of talent. We had a ton of guests come up to us and compliment her sound. She enthusiastically learned a few songs for us and helped make the day even more wonderful than I imagined.
The Relay for Life Luminaria Ceremony is a time when we remember those who have lost their battle with cancer. Katie has been a part of this ceremony for at least three years, maybe longer. Her musical accompaniment during the Ceremony makes it a memorable event. She is professional, and chooses music that helps make the event beautiful. We are thrilled that she has committed to being a part of this event each year.
Could not have been happier with our choice to hire Katie to be our wedding singer. Although she has her own selection of beautiful original songs, she can make any song you choose her own and blow you out of the water. Love her sweet soultry sound, her professionalism and great positive attitude. Highly reccomended!
I recommend Katie Ekin! She is talented, professional, dependable and has such a sweet and kind personality! She is great for any event and venue
