Nicolette was easy to work with and an excellent performer. She’s funny, engaging and has a beautiful voice.
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you so much Anne! I had a blast on this gig! I loved your family!
Nicolette was great to work with! She gave me ideas and rewrote a sing just for my brother's 50th Birthday! Communication was great, and she replied quickly.
Would recommend it would again!
She also has an amazing voice if you ever need someone to sing for a special occasion. ❤️
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you Erica! It was a pleasure working with you. You are a great communicator as well. So glad we surprised your brother in a fun way! I love writing custom songs for special occassions! Best to you!
Nicolette was awesome everyone enjoyed her performance singing and be friendly and kind she definitely made our party fun
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you Carmen! This is on my top 3 list of favorite gigs!
We enjoyed Nicolette surprising our physician for his birthday.
Response from Nicolette:
Thanks so much, Meagan! It was such a fun telegram!
Nicolette was professional and easy to work with. She helped select just the right songs for the occasion and the birthday lady was so surprised and pleased. It was a great experience.
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you so much, Keri. I'm so glad she was pleased. It was wonderful to perform for your special Aunt!!
She made my mom's bday very special! Professional and full of charm.
My mom loved it - lots of energy and passion.
Response from Nicolette:
Thanks, Liza! Your Mom is a delightful lady and seemed very touched! It was a pleasure to sing to her for a special birthday.
I had a memorable 89th birthday surprise planned for my mother, and Nicolette pulled it off like a consummate professional. Since I live in another country, I had to rely on Nicolette to handle all the preparations. She learned custom personalized lyrics, sung to the tune of a popular standard, and even agreed to pick up and deliver flowers. My mother was Incredibly moved by the whole presentation, and will forever remember her first singing telegram. I highly recommend Nicolette for all your custom singing telegram needs.
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you so much, Steve. It was a sheer delight singing to your Mom. After I sang to her she said, "I knew he was up to something!"
I give YOU a 5 star review for the amazingly creative birthday song you wrote, your communication, and your kind and professional style. I hope I have the honor to sing for your Mom again!
I booked her last minute to deliver a happy birthday singing telegram to my mom for her 70th birthday. My mom was moved to tears! She sang here comes the sun, which was a song at my parents wedding in 1976, and of
course sang happy birthday. 10/10 I would book Nicolette again. Thank you!
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you Katelyn!!! This was my most favorite gig yet. I am going to add this to my list of telegrams to choose from. It was so wonderful seeing your parents smiling back at me as I sang.
Nicolette did an incredible job singing happy birthday to a dear friend! I can't wait to leverage her services in the future and will refer friends and family!
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you John! I enjoyed singing an operatic birthday message for your special lady friend very much!!
Disappointed in the quality of the performance. Was told that the song would have background music from the cell phone but it wasn’t clear enough and her voice was just off. Also the clown outfit was requested but she arrived without any costume.
Response from Nicolette:
Thanks for your feedback. A karaoke track was used and was loud enough for the birthday gal as she stood two feet away from me. She was grinning ear to ear, dancing and singing along with me. i was actually surprised that she came out into the sidewalk considering we are in a pandemic. I was very nervous while singing because of this but I wasn’t “off”.
When I arrived and the door opened I started the track. A man with a camera came out of the door around me and interrupted the song so I had to start it over. He had a camera and was a good 8 feet away. Also there was a young man inside the house who appeared to be recording in his phone. Please keep in mind that a recording is not going to be representative of the actual volume of the performance.
Regarding a clown costume, that was never discussed. if you had requested it I would have declined the gig. Here is what was in the contract:
Happy Birthday song by Stevie Wonder with Karaoke track. Half of song to be sung or slightly less depending on the right break in the music to stop at a good place. Phone to be used for music and lyrics. Balloon bouquet included and delivered with song.
***
I am sorry you feel the performance wasn’t worthy of five stars but your recipient seemed pleased. Warm regards to you.
Five star performance. Amazing She accommodate us with last-minute arrangements and knocked it out of the park. The birthday boy was blown away and super impressed with her professionalism. Highly recommend
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed singing this special message.
Nicholette was amazing and on time. Her rendition was beautiful. She followed instructions and did everything I asked and that she had agreed to do! Also her prices were very fair and she was not trying to overcharge like some do. I Highly recommend here for your booking needs!
Nicolette (aka Marilyn) did a great job surprising our guest of honor for his birthday! She confirmed the appt, stayed in touch & graciously posed for photos! A memorable event & a beautiful voice!
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you Terri! I really enjoyed performing for you all!
Hired Nicolette to serenade my wife and she really belted out the song That's Amore with quality. The gestures that went along with the song displayed enthusiasm and effort. Really happy with my first singing telegram. Would hire again due to the quality, price, and prompt response times.
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you Jonathan! I'm glad I was able to be a part of your special event! I had fun!
For the first time ever, I hired a professional singer to bless my sister's birthday in Dec. 2017...and we were not disappointed. Nicolette openly shared both grit and love for her art by overcoming initial minor Bluetooth issues with a smile to complete strangers, and, second, by performing an angelic rendition of Over the Rainbow from Wizard of Oz, my sister's all-time favorite. It was clear to all of us in that moment that Nicolette has the heart of an artist, one who was born blessed with the divine and who has dedicated a great many hour-day-year to perfecting her craft.
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you Antonio! It was an absolute delight to share this special occasion with your family. Your sister's smile made my heart warm. She reminded me why I do this. I wish her and all of your family a bright and happy New Year filled with many blessings!
I order flowers and balloons and she picked them up and delivered at the same time she sang to my wife on our anniversary.
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you for this very kind message Mark. It was a pleasure to sing for your wife on this happy occasion. Best wishes to you both with your new baby!
did not introduce herself, music started playing way before she had lyrics brought up on her phone, 5 minutes , took picture then gone
Response from Nicolette:
I am surprised you have provided this rating. It is contrary to the feedback that I received asking if I had a Facebook page for promotion. Regarding an introduction, I was asked by the gentleman at the door if I wanted to be introduced and said yes. I sang the song Calenar Girl as requested. This was not a song that I had memorized and I indicated that I would be using the lyrics when I provided the quote. The lyrics I was using were on a karaoke track on YouTube. The first part of the song was a short chorus and sung by backup singers. I started the song right after that on the word "January." I involved the guests and got them singing on the chorus as well. I addressed and congratulated the happy couple. I ask you questions about your parents and your family and where they were from. I thanked everyone for allowing me to be part of the special anniversary occasion. Most singing telegrams with one song average about five minutes however I was there for approximately 12 minutes I enjoyed this gig very much and appreciated the tip you gave me. All the best to you and your family.
Super job! She was flexible, worked with our off-beat idea, and did an amazing performance. What a pro!
Response from Nicolette:
Thanks! I had a ball at this gig. The staff was so great and fun!
Nicolette 's has a beautiful voice, with a warm and welcoming personality! My mother was truly blessed and came to tears hearing her sing Happy Birthday in Opera! My only disappointment was that I selected from the pictures on website for her to appear in a formal dress as a performer. It would had been excellent to have Opera attire to arrive in, but I was content with the formal dress. Nicolette said she would be coming by after work, I assumed she change clothes for the performance. She arrived in business casual and that was the only disappointment. I would hire her again, but confirm that the choices on website to select from would be honored.
Nicolette did a singing telegram for me. she went to my friends house and sang happy birthday (very well might i add) and even picked up balloons on the way! My friend was so surprised and it really made his day! thank you so much Nicolette. I highly recommend her!
I live in Colorado but wanted to give this experience to my dad for his 75th birthday. Nicolette was amazing. I asked her if she would do some Patsy Cline songs (dad's fav) and she listed off his 3 favorite songs. She showed up at his party and surprised him and delighted the guests with her gorgeous voice. My dad is just about impossible to buy gifts for and this one is going to be tough to top. Thanks, Nicolette!
Nicolette did a great job singing Happy Birthday and making it fun!
I would like to thank Nicholette for making my valentine gift to my husband an amazing one. She was able to respond on such short notice. She had an amazing voice.
The "performance" for my son on his birthday was great. Nicolette was professional, reliable, and has a beautiful voice!
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you so much!! He seemed to enjoy it!
We requested Nicolette Erwin to do a singing telegram performance as Marilyn Monroe at the 30th anniversary celebration for the Texas Association for Mediators (TAM) in San Antonio. Specifically, we wanted to recognize the outgoing President with a surprise. Nicolette dressed as Marilyn in a platinum wig, white dress and high stiletto heels. During the Presidential lunch and member meeting, Nicolette performed to Frank Sinatra's "My Way" by changing the words to Your Way. She was very, very talented from her beautiful voice to how she performed as she strolled through the ballroom floor. Everyone thoroughly laughed and enjoyed the memorable moment. She used improv to bring in certain things she heard behind the scenes in the President's outgoing message and sauntered up to the stage to "play" a bit as we said goodbye to our President. Thank you Nicolette. We would highly recommend Nicolette not only as a singing telegram but for any singing event as her voice is beautiful.
Nicole was great! She offered to Skype event for me, since I'm on the East Coast and the event was in San Antonio. She kept in contact with me before, during and after singing to my friend. I have already discussed future events with her.
Response from Nicolette:
Thank you so much!! It was fun to see her expression and those of the patrons in the restaurant!!
