Rel Lynn ,
She did a wonderful job her voice is so angelic she sings so beautifully and despite only having one week to learn the main song that I wanted song at my grandson's funeral she sang it beautifully. I totally recommend her for any event. She truly did a magnificent job.
Response from Rel Lynn:
Thank you so much, Reina! It was truly an honor to meet and serve your beautiful family. I have the picture of your grandson you gave me in our living room, and we've been keeping you all in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers for continued healing and comfort. I truly appreciate you taking the time to write this beautiful review. Many blessings!

When I first receive your inquiry, I will ask for you to respond with the 8 questions listed in the “About” section if you have not already shared this information. Please add any other specific needs you have in your inquiry. From there, I will provide a quote.
If you book me, I will confirm with a message that I have received your booking details. You will receive my phone number at this time. I will also begin learning and practicing the songs you selected until the day of your event. I will message you here on this platform a few days prior to let you know that I am set and ready to sing for your gathering.
I will be dressed to the occasion, prepared to passionately sing songs you specifically requested or ones from my set list for the duration of time scheduled. I will come in at least 20 minutes early to set up my guitar and check the audio levels with your sound technician. I highly recommend that you indeed have a sound system (and the other set requirements I listed) for me to plug into before booking me, so we can ensure a smooth and welcoming environment for your guests.
Once my set time is completed, I will pack up as quietly and efficiently as possible.
I look forward to singing for you!
Thank you in advance for considering me for your special occasion. My name is Rel, and it is a privilege to serve you. Currently, I am a worship leader for several churches which has provided me ample experience playing for various celebrations both religious and secular. In addition, I am a music instructor for a neighboring city working with people of all ages and backgrounds. Though I am most knowledgeable in singing worship songs, I am also fluent in pop, Broadway, oldies, Christmas carols, Gospel, and traditional hymns. I’ve provided a list of songs I’m most requested to sing under the “set list” tab. However, if you have a specific list of songs you’d like for me to sing for your event, please send the title and performer of each of these songs to me, and I can let you know if I am able to learn them in time for your gathering.
Before booking me, please send me a message with specific details of your event:
1) type of event (I.e., funeral, wedding, etc.) and desired dress attire (semi-casual, business, festive, standard black for funerals, etc.)
2) exact address
3) number of attendees
4) length of time you would like me to sing
5) what time you’d like me to begin and end. Please send a schedule of events if you have specific time frames you’d like me to sing (for example, a few songs in the beginning, middle, and end, the entire time as background music, etc).
6) list of songs you’d like me to sing (if you have something specific in mind that is). For funerals, please let me know if you desire all religious/Christian music, non-religious/secular music or a mix of the two.
7) if the event is indoors or outdoors
8) what kind of sound equipment you have to amplify my voice and guitar
Once I receive responses to all 8 of these questions, I will be able to provide you with a quote and let you know if I am available and able to meet your needs. Thank you again for considering me for your event. Blessings!
