Hi Sara,

Thank you ever so much to both you and Stephen for an absolute dream come true performance for both Nessun Dorma and Nella Fantasia. I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to making the live version happen, and the performances were out of this world.

If there is anywhere I can leave a review please let me know. I have also attached a couple of videos, feel free to use them anywhere.

I’m so sorry we didn’t get to catch you in person but you were truly stars of the show.

Thanks again and wishing you all the best.

Dear Sara,

On behalf of my husband and I, we wanted to personally thankyou for your incredibly beautiful and moving performance which moved both of us and many of our guests too tears on our wedding day! ✨️😍

Your voice is something from the heavens and our only regret was that we could not listen to you sing for longer!

I had so much positive feedback about you from my guests, and whether you do concerts and shows, etc. Your performance was one of the highlights of my wedding that I will never forget.

It was an absolute dream to have you! Thankyou for making our day so incredibly special.

Best wishes,

Karen & Sabatino Xx 🥰❤️❤️

Apologies for my delay in writing to you but I wanted to say a huge thank you for helping to create such a fabulous day on Friday at Cliveden for Karen and for making all her dreams come true.

It was fabulous working with you and I hope very much to be able to do so again in the future!
I had a lovely message from Karen afterwards – I share an edited version below showing how grateful she is to you.

Where do I even begin?? Yes, absolutely we are still on cloud 9 and I can’t believe we are officially married!!!

The entire day from start to finish was more incredible than I ever dreamed and each major element was executed perfectly and was exactly what I envisioned.

So many emotions and memories to be held for a lifetime.
The wedding was an absolute smashing success!
I just want to say that me and Sabatino cannot thank you enough for helping to make our wedding day everything we ever dreamed of in our life.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming together and for creating something absolutely magical for Karen and Sabatino last week.
It has been a pleasure!

With best wishes,
Susannah

Dear Sara,

We are so thrilled that you were able to sing for us on Saturday. All our guests, without exception, were completely floored by the performance you and your fellow singers gave us. ‘Memorable’ is an often repeated word.

Your voices complemented each other perfectly, and the choice of music and presentation was superb.  Thank you all so much. You made our special event very special indeed.

I am attaching a photo that you might like.

Kind regards,

Dear Tom,

A heartfelt thank you to you all for the most wonderful performance at Bayard’s home on Saturday.  Messages have been flooding in from appreciative friends, saying how much they loved the event you created, the festive spirit of your singing and the memorable atmosphere you created.  Bayard has quite run out of adjectives, as have I, in describing how lovely it was!!

You really raised the roof in some of the strongly swelling numbers, and lulled us with tender mood in others; it was a beautiful mix.  I hope you felt how much everyone appreciated your singing, and also enjoyed chatting to them beforehand. 

I trust you and your family enjoy a wonderful Christmas, especially after having done so much to engender festive joy for others.

My thanks once again for a wonderful, wonderful performance, and all the preparation that made it so. It was brilliant! 

All the best,
Juliette

Hi Sara

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you all for helping Charlie’s birthday go with a swing!

He loved it all and so did everyone else!  What a co-incidence that Digby was in the audience having sponsored your two colleagues some years ago?  The world is certainly a small place sometimes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you might be asked to come to Guernsey again in the future.

Kind regards
Connie

Dear Sara

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your singing partner for providing the entertainment for my 90th birthday party.

None of my guests knew you were going to perform so it was a very pleasant surprise for them when you started to sing. All my family and all friends agreed you were a great success and they really enjoyed the variety of music that you performed for their entertainment.

I am so grateful to you both for making my party so entertaining and memorable.

So many thanks once again

Hi Sara,

I just wanted to thank you and Scilla for giving us the most amazing performance on Saturday evening. My Dad was completely thrilled with it and all of the guests were blown away.

I hadn’t expected the audience interaction during ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ – what a great touch. You picked two of my favourite cousins – they both loved having a twirl – and we all thought that was very amusing!

It was all completely brilliant. My Mum was a pretty good Mezzo Soprano in her youth and she was extremely impressed with how well you sang in a living room which perhaps doesn’t offer the ideal acoustics. You were brilliant, as was Scilla.

It was also extra special for us that Scilla was able to play so beautifully on my late grandmother’s piano.

I have had so many messages from all my family and my Dad’s friends and they all make particular mention of the performance. It was a real treat for us all.

Thank you both so much!

Best,
Freya

Dear Tom,

Just a note to say thank you for everything on Saturday. The choir sang beautifully and really made the occasion perfect. We have had so many positive comments and videos from our friends and family.

As soon as I heard ‘Fields of Gold’ as the doors opened I felt relaxed. It was beautiful.

Thank you so much. Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

I would like to say a very big and heartfelt thank you for your performance last night – it made the party! Everyone was talking about it last night and again today, saying what an incredible voice you have and how fantastic your performance was. My son loved it and it was the best surprise for him.

I hope you enjoyed performing too, and sorry about the long wait you had ‘being a waiter’ until your performance.

Kind regards

With the dust beginning to settle I wanted to thank you and the team for helping to make our Renaissance Banquet the success it turned out to be.

Launching into Nessun Dorma from the Mezzanine certainly created the atmosphere we intended and the sheer professionalism of the act certainly enhanced the evening.

Many thanks to all.

Oh Tom that was absolutely brilliant. Honestly can’t thank you enough. You had us all in tears and it was so wonderful to see Mum laughing like that.

So funny and just brilliantly executed.

Can’t express our gratitude enough. It really made her day. Thank you so much. It was better than anything I could have imagined and was absolutely flawless.
Very very talented chaps!!!

Well, Oh My Word,

Words can not express the gratitude, amazement and pure excitement I have in congratulating and thanking you and your team.

It literally could not have run so smoothly and to the letter of how I imagined it would.

The whole team were out of this world, and the vocals exquisite!

The feedback I received from Terry (DJ) and Owain (Toast Master) on how professional and organised you all were helped ensure the surprise was kept quiet. Which you know was my main concern!

The whole room after you all left was in a state of stunned silence and sheer amazement! Some of our male friends our the most hardened men who they will admit themselves do not have a “soppy” bone in their body, who admitted to me that they even got a tear in their eye.

Craig absolutely was stunned and over the moon that I had arranged it, as he always wanted to see or be at an event that had that type of performance made.

All through the breakfast and following evening meal people could not stop talking about the performance and how superb it was.

Truly magical spectacular performers and performance. Thank you so much, and I was so chuffed to see yourself, and Russell were amongst the performers. However everyone warranted a personal standing ovation.

Comments I received from guests like:

“I was gob smacked”
“emotionally stunned”
“So engrossed I forgot where I was”
“Electric”

Thank You is not enough to show how amazing it was, I’m speechless and so grateful. Thank you Sara.

Thanks
Sean

The Event: Greenwich Millinium Village Residents Channel Their Christmas Spirit with an Evening of Carols and Wreath Making

Of course, the Christmas cheer wouldn’t truly be felt without carollers gathered to sing round the tree. A collective of six talented carol singers delivered several sessions, which covered classics like “Holy Night” and “Come All Ye Faithful”, among others. As in the previous year, the carol singers came from Hartley Voices, a group of London based opera, musical theatre and choral singers.

I just wanted to say thanks for being brilliant at the church service a few weeks ago – we got some lovely feedback from the client:

“We just wanted to say a huge thank you for the amazing Sara, Scilla and choir. They were fantastic, so professional and with some beautiful voices. The bride, groom and mother of the bride were really happy and so were all the guests. It was just what the church needed, some damn good music! Please will you pass on our thanks to the team.”

Thanks again from me, and hopefully work with you again soon!

Hartley Voices perform at the Royal Albert HallDear Sara and Maciek,

A HUGE thank you for making our Philanthropy dinner such an overwhelming success. The guests were totally blown away with all aspects of the evening.

Your set was perfectly put together, funny, entertaining and beautifully sung. Ellie Goulding got you on video, so I am sure she was also suitably impressed.

The element of surprise was fantastic and it added the perfect interlude during the dinner, thank you.

We will definitely use Hartley Voices for other events in the future and, I will pass on your details to our Corporate and Hospitality Departments in case they also have any special events in the pipeline.
