Trained Professional vocalist who sings ALL genres for ALL events (weddings, funerals, private events, etc)
So I was expecting her to hit super high notes and go crazy loud with the song I choose for my wedding. When she saw the setup (the mood was more like a candle lit dinner) the way she took the song and blended it into the background of my ceremony was perfect, she sounded like an angel singing down from the heavens. I so appreciate an artist that can analyze a situation and adjust. I would recommend her for all live singing events.
Mara is a must book! She provided beautiful vocals for our wedding ceremony, including my walk down the aisle, accompanied by the talented Rose on acoustic guitar. We provided Mara with a list of songs we loved and left the rest to her- with that she created beautiful musical stylings/renditions that made our ceremony so special. Our guests were enamored and could not stop talking about our wedding performers and neither could we!
Mara was phenomenal! She had a beautiful voice, even in the freezing cold she performed beautifully! She was on time, easy to communicate with and professional. Highly recommend. Would love to see her in concert one day.
Mara Love was absolutely amazing and extremely professional . She was the highlight to my event .
Mara Love was amazing!! Her voice is heavenly!! Affordable! Punctual! Personable!
Mara and the band was AMAZING!!! I surprised my partner and she loved it. We couldn’t stop talking about the gifts you all have. Thank you all for making our night extra special. We’re definitely booking again!
Mara Love was great - she surprised my boss with a singing telegram on zoom for his birthday. Thanks!
Mara Love and Band did an excellent job performing for my 40th birthday. I wanted a special evening and she did her best to coordinate a wonderful evening for me and my friends. She was professional and highly communicative throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to hire her again. Thank you again Mara. I was worried that my birthday wouldn't be special this year because of COVID, but you made sure that it was!!!!
Wow, I honestly don't know where to start. Well, I'll start by saying that Mara Love is truly a professional whether performing in front of a mic or handling business with you. She's an amazing vocalist, very polished in her presentation. Her background vocalists & band are also top notch as well. I am extremely happy that I chose this gem to perform for my event. So if you're on the fence, I promise that you will not be disappointed!
Response from Mara Love:
Stephen!
Thank you so much for this kind review! It was great working with you and looking forward to the future!
Peace & light,
Mara Love♥️🦋✨
Mara Love was great! She provided us a 3-song set (approx. 15 mins in length) for a virtual conference we hosted recently. Her performance was positioned as a couch concert during one of our breaks. Attendees loved it!
She was quick in response - we reached out to her over a weekend and she circled back with the recorded video - herself and two members of her band - by end of day on Monday evening!
We'll use her again for sure!
Beautiful voice, appropriate song selection, and lovely disposition. I would definitely hire Mara again.
I hired her to sing for my moms birthday! My mom loved it and she showed up with a balloon and a card ! Best telegram ever ! My mom loved loved loved it ! Thank you again 💙🥰
Response from Mara Love:
🥺😊I’m so glad your mom enjoyed her gift!! Thanks again for the hire and kind review!! ♥️
I met Mara Love through Uber. She picked me up and was so sweet to me. I just lost my brother and she offered her services for the funeral. Her voice is good y’all, like real good 😩 she was such a blessing to my family. Hire her for your next event. You won’t regret it.
Recently hired Ms. Mara Love for my wedding. My wife is a big fan and it was a great surprise for her. Ms. Love is very sweet and professional to work with. I think she undercharges because she is definitely worth more than she charges! Will definitely be hiring her again and I refer her to every for all events.
Response from Mara Love:
Thank you Jeff!! ♥️ So happy to have been able to bring some added magic to your wedding 😊
