We enjoyed having Laura as part of our company holiday dinner. Her angelic voice had everyone talking about her performance still days later. She was extremely accommodating to requests and even brought a microphone along so the group could sing along with her.
Laura was attentive to the requests of our son and his bride. She was personable, and her performance had our small gathering feel more like 50 people than our 20 friends and family. Everyone was dancing and celebrating and having a joyous time. Thank you, Laura
Response from Laura Whidden:
Thank you so much, Gene, your group was so very fun, celebratory and warm. I enjoyed every minute.
We spent a fantastic time for our son’s birthday party with Laura. She is so talented and such a professional artist!
She had a large song list and an easy contact with the kids.
It was the best musical party for the kids and for the adults.
Highly recommended!
Response from Laura Whidden:
Thank you so much for this generous review! I enjoyed your family and friends so much, and your son is such a little jewel. I’m so glad I got to be a part of your fun day.
Great musician/singer! Crowd pleaser! Wonderful person!
