Sara not only had an amazing voice, but was an absolute pleasure to work with. Leading up to the day of my wedding, Sara was in great communication around what we were looking for and the overall style of music we wanted for our ceremony and cocktail hour. All the guests loved her and my husband and I couldn’t have been more pleased!!!
When we were first looking for ceremony and cocktail artists, I imagined it being only instrumental because so many vocalists all sound amateur. Then we found Sara. Once we heard her voice, I knew she was the perfect person to elevate our event. She was able to learn a Jewish religious song as well as the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to - even though there was no sheet music available. Looking back, I can't imagine the day without her. Her voice is soft and pure and she was a true joy to work with!
Sara was on time for her engagement, in fact she was early and did a thorough sound check. She is pleasant to work with and very much cares about her audience and their enjoyment. She sang some wonderful originals which were impressive. She made sure to play for the audience but definitely expanded their horizons, which they appreciated. Her piano playing is only second to her gorgeous voice. One of the best I have heard in terms of ballads, and I have seen many performers in my capacity as an Activity Director. If you want a beautiful ballad, this is your performer. She will blow you away. She should be "discovered", quite honestly.
