Kristal,s smooth and sultry vocals filled the room with relaxing sounds that wowed the guests. Her original compositions and amazing cover renditions were magnificently performed and certainly enjoyed by everyone. Kristal is a superb artist, that I'd recommend for your events for that spectacular special touch.

Kristal did an AMAZING job singing our song for our first dance at the wedding! She is very thorough and will make sure the details are accounted for before your event. Her guitar playing skills and voice are beautiful. She dressed beautifully and was very professional. We trusted her with such an important part of our wedding reception and she was flawless!
Response from Kristal Cherelle:
Thank you, Krystal! I am glad you two enjoyed it. It was an honor to perform for your wedding!
My husband hired Kristal to come to my work to sing happy birthday to me and also came to my home for a private concert for me and my husband. Kristal has a Beautiful voice. She played the guitar while singing some cover songs and ones she has written (which are really good). No other background music, just her and her guitar which is all you need!!! She is very personable and kind. She checked back in to make sure we were both satisfied with her performance. I HIGHLY recommend her!!!!

Kristal performed at my wedding. She was very professional and she sounded so good that the guests at my wedding thought she was a recording. Her voice was so clear and beautiful. She sang "Golden" by Chrisette Michelle as I walked down the aisle and I had to hold back the tears. I later found out that she said she had to learn the song because she had never heard it. I would have never known, she did such an awesome job! Thank you so much Kristal! You helped make my wedding day even more special.
Response from Kristal Cherelle:
Thank you so much! I am glad to be a part of your special day!
Krystal was very professional. Her voice is one of the best I have heard. This experience has change the way our family and friends view live entertainment for a private party. The album is a must buy.
Response from Kristal Cherelle:
Thank you for your review! It was a pleasure doing business with you!
If you want uniqueness, elegance, and great communication tied into your event, Kristal is what you need! SO many people have raved about how beautiful her voice is and wanted her contact info since our wedding on 05/04/14! What was extremely important was that she was readily available if I needed to contact her as I did not have a wedding planner and juggling work and school. Thank you again Kristal for helping us make our day a beautiful day to remember!!!

Thank you so much! I enjoyed performing at your event. :-)
Kristal is awesome she sings like a angel leaving you wanting more.This young lady is amazing on the guitar and the piano I can't wait until she release her CD god bless you in the future .
Kystal is an amazing artist. I used her recently and I was completely blown away by her voice and talent. She is extremely strong at vocals and on the guitar. Her voice is soft and soulful yet powerful and put with a guitar- there is nothing prettier. She was very professional- calling to follow-up, arriving at the event several hours before to practice, and accomodating to my needs. I am not sure if she already knew the song "Love Me Tender" but her rendition has stayed with me since the event. It was so beautiful. I also received MANY compliments from the guests- they just thought her voice was incredible. Krystal- THANK YOU, It was beautful and everything I wanted it to be... I truly truly thank you. This is the person you want to hire! Amazing.
Response from Kristal Cherelle:
Thank you! I really enjoyed working with you and singing for you. If you ever need anyone again or know someone that needs a singer, refer them to me. I'd be more than happy to perform again.
