Hi Sara,
Dear Sara,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the role you played in making Harriet’s party such a great success. She had no idea that you would be performing and I know she was quite bowled over by the element of surprise.
The choice of songs was perfect and struck absolutely the right note (excuse the awful pun).
Many, many thanks.
Best wishes,
Sally
A very belated email – please accept my apologies however better late than never! However, I just wanted to say an enormous thank you to both you and Russell for my dads birthday entertainment. Russell was a true professional; he was a hit and completely made the evening with his lovely singing and entertainment! We’ve received many lovely compliments from our friends and family.
Thank you to you both for organising and please don’t hesitate to contact me should you ever require a reference.
Thank you again!
Best wishes,
Maria
Dear Sara and Russell,
Just to say a big thank you for the wonderful contribution you made to our party. Everyone just loved your performances, and if you ever need any recommendation at all, please let us know.
With many thanks,
Helen and Barney
What an amazing gift and great skill you have.
You have a most beautiful voice.
I only just about kept it together, especially when you hit those high notes, wow!
Also, thank you for getting there in the first place! and well before time, making it all go like clockwork.
I did wonder if the Reverand was trying to out pitch you ‘volume wise’ towards the end, at the committal part! 🙂
My Mum was hugely musical. My late Stepfather was a soloist tenor in the Burma Star Choir and appeared once on tv (Albert hall) singing solo, he even named my sister ‘Carmen’, due to his love of opera!
Mum would have loved your performance, thank you.
I was wondering if you have a CD available? (especially would like to be able to play the two songs you sang).
Kind Regards,
Gareth
I just wanted to drop a line to you and the other fabulous singing waiters. You were absolutely brilliant and something people will remember for a very long time.
And thank you so very much for our management team sing-a-long too and making us sound almost in tune. It worked like a dream.
Please pass my sincere thanks on to the rest of your team. I do hope we get to work again in the future.
Best Regards
Gary
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for yesterday and sorry I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.
The show will be going out on Christmas Day on BBC1 as soon as I know an exact time I will let you know.
Thanks again for bringing your fantastic costumes you all looked and sounded great!
Best Wishes,
Mel
Sara, just to say a big thank you for the choir last night – Georgi and the team did a fabulous job as always and everyone loved their enthusiastic carols and festive numbers….
Have a great Christmas and catch up again next year!
Many thanks
Ann
10/10 Great team – very versatile and obliging. Will definitely use again
A pleasure to meet you and work with you last night. I am so sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye and thank you in person.
It’s a difficult room to work but you did it with aplomb. I had many positive comments about your performance.
I believe you even had some of our guests join in and dance along, something I wouldn’t have expected!!
Again a big thank you for all your efforts. Can you please also pass on my thanks to Andrew who was a trooper and stayed on to keep the music going.
All the best
Alison, Australian High Commission
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful ‘opera singing waiters’ who performed so fantastically at my recent Birthday event.
My friends were completely taken by surprise and everyone absolutely loved both of you.
Great choice of songs which meant even those who were not opera lovers could enjoy and even join in!
It really made my evening so special so thank you once again and I would highly recommend your services.
Warm Wishes
Diane
I just wanted to thank you all so very much for your fabulous performance at our wedding 14th October Our guests are still talking about it and you surpassed all expectations
We have some brilliant videos of you and I wondered if you’d like us to send you them, let me know
Thanks again
Jacqui
John and I just want to say a huge thank you to you, Simon, Russell and Catherine for your performance yesterday. You blew everyone away, it was absolutely amazing and all that people could talk about.
It will live in people’s memories forever.
If you’re ever performing publicly, please can you let us know. We would love to come along.
Kelly & John xx
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the wonderful carol singing at our event on Wednesday.
We have had such positive feedback from all of our guests and especially Kenneth himself – I am just sad I wasn’t situated in the same room as you for the day!
I do hope you enjoyed it and a huge thank you again.
Very best wishes
Cat
I just wanted to thank you all for entertaining us on Saturday, it was a great success and everyone is still talking about the evening.
I managed to keep the secret from David and the look on his face when you began was priceless.
Wishing you all continued success
With my warmest wishes and thanks
Tessa
I am so sorry it has taken me this long to get back to you. Thank you so much to you and your team on your amazing performance at our dinner. You were all fantastic. The delegates loved it and feedback really good.
Sorry there were a few mix ups beforehand but you took them on professionally and really appreciate that.
Once again thank you.
Regards, Catherine
Friday evening was a stunning success – a real coup de theatre – we couldn’t be more pleased. Such talented performers with beautiful voices and charming personalities. Top notch. They really knew how to work the room – the place was buzzing and we had so many compliments from guests. I don’t do that many events these days but if I get another opportunity to book them I will. And will certainly recommend them and your agency. You have been helpful, prompt and efficient throughout. So thanks to all, it’s been a pleasure and their music and comedy is still playing on in my head.
Chrissy
Mike and I went to see the Russian State Opera doing Madame Butterfly last night. We were expecting something pretty special, but they were just OK, so today we decided to listen again to some really good singers to make up for the disappointment, and played the videos we have of your performance at our wedding. You certainly beat the RSO by a mile, and we were both welling up as we listened, partly in memory of the lovely occasion, but mainly because you sang so very beautifully.
Thanks again for your fantastic contribution, which was a stand-out part of our wonderful wedding day.
All best wishes, Sally & Mike
I wanted to email to say a massive thanks to you and the Choir for singing at my Father’s funeral on Friday. The way the songs were performed was simply stunning. It was everything we envisaged and more, I truly am incredibly grateful.
Having a choir to sing was one of the tops things on my list for the service and you surpassed my expectations. As it’s such an important day for us, I really wanted the hymns to be sung with such passion and for people to enjoy and remember them. I know that succeeded thanks to you. I had so many comments from friends and family about how much you added to the service, and how they thought your voices were beautiful.
And lastly thank you for the amazing performance of Going Home. My Mum chose that song for Dad, and your performance was exquisite. She has mentioned it many times, and I thank you for that memory you’ve given her.
Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the Choir and I’m so sorry I didn’t get to meet you. By the time we had greeted everyone the next service was about to start!
My thanks again and best wishes for the future, Carly x
Steve and I and our guests were absolutely overwhelmed by your performance at our wedding – it was so amazing and perfect and played such a huge part in making our special day so romantic and elegant. In fact your voice was more exceptional and exquisite than I could ever have imagined and I just hope some of our guests captured it on video so we can hear it all again . A big thank you in particular for preparing our special song “The Prayer” and for being a true professional in your detailed preparation beforehand to ensure that our day ran so smoothly. I am sorry I was not able to spend a bit of time with you and to thank you personally on the day only you did a very professional disappearance.
I know that I shall remember your wonderful delivery of all of our songs for always and as soon as I have another joyful occasion I shall be looking for you to be there singing.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Best Wishes, Donna x
PS I notice you have a CD on your website, which I shall purchase but please can you let me know the best way to keep in touch re other CDs you may be making, particularly including my 4 wedding songs, and any public performances / concerts etc.. I so must hear you again !!!
Many thanks, Donna
Hi Sara
Thanks very much for great performance!
Kate
Dear Sara,
I wanted to thank you and all the lovely singers who helped to make my Mother’s service so special. I can’t thank you enough for organising the group to sing for us – they all had wonderful voices and were so friendly and nice. Thank you too to Nicky who played the oboe so beautifully and made it possible for May to sing her Benedictus. I shall tell everyone how wonderful they all were – thank you!
With very best wishes from,
Cindy
Dear Sara,
I just wanted to thank you again for yours and Stephens lovely performance on Saturday. It was beautiful, fun and lively. You were the talk of the party.
With best wishes
Sally
Dear Sara & Colleagues
On behalf of the Zoroastrian Funds of Europe and the Zoroastrian Senior Citizen’s Home Project, I would like to convey my gratitude and thanks for the wonderful and memorable show you put on, last Sunday.
This was indeed a treat for all who attended. The performances were of such high quality that we were all bowled over. Thank you for all your hard work and the passionate performances.
With huge appreciation, Shernaz
I, too, should like to join Shernaz in sending to you my compliments on behalf of the Zoroastrian Senior Citizens Home Project (ZSCH). Both Sarcoma UK and ZSCH are worthy causes and, therefore, for you to have thought about ZSCH when initially approaching Shernaz was indeed a most laudable gesture on your part. The evening was a thumping success in so far as it provided the audience a most entertaining time. This is thanks to you, in particular, and all your fellow artistes; will you please thank them all on my behalf. Everyone I have spoken to say they were very pleased that they attended the charity show.
We have not yet been able to tie up the account because we are waiting for details of the bar account. Since the bar purchases were on a sale or return basis, and given that all the glasses were hired, the account has taken a wee longer to settle since the final figure has to be worked out by Majestic Wines. I am sure the account will be finalised by next week, whereupon I shall write to you.
Once again, please accept my sincere thanks on behalf of ZSCH for an excellent show.
Kind regards
NOSHIR J AVARI
Chairperson: ZSCH Project
I didn’t get chance to find you after your performance and my speech on Saturday – sorry. What an amazing performance that was – the whole room loved it and it really was the surprise I was hoping for. Your performance was the extra edge and value I wanted to bring to the event and it certainly did that. I’m so grateful that the weather didn’t affect the event too. I shall never forget Kitty’s face when you came and sang to her and she went all shy! Or the interaction with our friend Steve around the room, that was hilarious. I thought there would be a few chaps who would interact and you hit it perfectly. Many people asked for your details, so I shall pass them on. Thank you again so very much. You made the event extra special. I hope you had a restful Sunday. All the very best, Jodi
Dear Sara, The Ruby Wedding was a spectacular success, thanks to you, Christopher, Clementine and her colleagues. Thank you very much for your help finding such wonderful musicians at short notice; the evening was absolutely made by their fantastic performance! I just really wanted to thank you separately too for getting me out of a hole with only two weeks to go!
Christopher, Thank you very much for your stunning performance at my parents’ Ruby Wedding Anniversary last night. It was even better than I could have hoped for and my parents loved it too! I spent a long time trying to find someone to perform Rachmananov and most professional pianists wouldn’t touch it, with more notice than you. You’ve also got me back into Scott joplin, to which I haven’t listened in years and am very grateful!
Clementine, Thank you very much for your stunning performance at my parents’ Ruby Wedding Anniversary last night. It was even better than I could have hoped for and my parents loved it too! After Christopher’s feature, when you were playing, my father was reluctant to come over for dinner and just wanted to sit and listen to you! Thanks for being so accommodating of all of my requests as well.
Thank you again, you were spectacular and really made the perfect evening for us all. Rachel
I just wanted to say a big thank you for your fantastic renditions of beautiful operatic songs. Your interaction with my guests was great, & I’ve had so many messages complimenting you both, I’d be surprised if you don’t get a few bookings following on from yesterday! Once again, many thanks, David
Again, thank you so much for everything today, from your talent to being utterly great troops. We were up against it today so I really appreciated your enthusiasm. I hope our paths have a chance to cross again and II’ll be sure to send you the video once it’s live. All the best, April
It’s been a good run, the singers have been great, sorry that I haven’t been in touch since, it’s been manically busy! Thank you – all has been good, the client on Thursday was a little difficult in what she wanted, but the singers were very flexible and we managed to keep everyone happy! Have a great Christmas, and see you next year! Ann
Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you so much for yesterday. Everyone really enjoyed it and it was the perfect way to kick off our Christmas Party! We have tweeted about it on our Twitter: @WeareRedactive Thanks again and I hope you both have a lovely Christmas! Sophie, Events Assistant
I just wanted to say thank you so very much for your performances on Friday night – I’m sorry I didn’t get to catch up with you before you left.
I’ve had so many comments about how good you were and how it really set the tone for the evening – which is exactly what I wanted! Exceptional value for money, please pass my thanks on to your team.
If there’s anything I can do in terms of leaving positive reviews or online feedback please just let me know and I’ll get right on it!
Thanks again,
Kind Regards,
Erin
I just wanted to say I loved loved LOVED the carol singers! They were absolutely amazing, they sounded great and looked fantastic! I think the majority of the shops got to see/hear them too, and they added a special touch to the evening.
I can’t recommend them enough, and I will most definitely be using them again.
It was a pleasure dealing with you too; there’s always a worry when dealing with someone new for the first time, but I felt reassured from start to finish so thank you!
Kind regards,
Karen
I am sorry you and I did not have the opportunity to meet last Friday although I did manage to thank the quartet in the reception room. Everyone was most impressed by your dazzling performance and the guest interaction – it was tight but we just finished before 9.30pm – people do talk rather than eat!! Obviously, you did not stay around for the speeches but had you done so you would have heard me saying that one of our acting guests is a good friend of Aled Jones. She sent him a video of your WITA performance and he replied back that he enjoyed it and wished everyone well. I hope all was good for you guys and Skinners’ Hall looked after you well. Thank you again, Andrew … Sharing the Best Ltd
I simply wanted to thank you for a truly outstanding performance at our birthday celebrations yesterday afternoon. You and Russell were incredible. Breathtaking voices, wonderful acting skills and lovely personalities to go with it. You royally entertained our small family gathering consisting of those aged from 6 to 88 – and how you managed to transform our living room into a private show that would not have been out of place at the Royal Opera House or in London’s West End was a truly remarkable feat! You left us all with an incredibly warm glow and made for a hugely memorable occasion. We shall also be personally recommending you to our friends and contacts in London – you deserve all the success that you rightly achieve! In any case, I wish you every continued success – and I so hope that we get to see each other again. Your voice is simply stunning and it was also truly wonderful to meet you. I am so pleased that our original duet let us down!!! I simply cannot thank you enough – also for your very helpful and efficient preparation for the event at very short notice. With all good wishes and many thanks again, Anthony
Please can you pass on my thanks to both the a cappella carol singers. They were all brilliant and performed above expectations.
Frankie
I just wanted to say a huge thank you from the McIntyre Big Show Team for being part of the bonkers Midnight Gameshow! My producer has told me how fantastic you all were, and apologies for the torrential rain, I hope your costumes are okay. Great to work with you, and hope to again in the future.
Best Wishes and a Merry Christmas, Mel
We have had some excellent feedback on your performance! Thanks again for making it a great event. Best wishes, Mandy
I don’t really know where to start – your quartet was absolutely fabulous and really made the day – the normal comment was “best do I’ve ever been to”. As you know, I was unsure about a 2nd 20 minutes, but in hindsight, if it had been possible, we’d have had more. It put everyone on a high and after speeches, different ones were standing up and telling stories. We hope you enjoyed your trip to Royal Lytham and that you all got back safely. Can’t wait until our 75th so that we can ask you back. Never really got the chance to speak to you, but did enjoy the dance. Best wishes, David
Just a short note to say how nice it was to meet you on Saturday at the Zoroastrian Centre and how much we enjoyed listening to you as well as the fun and super environment you created. It was a great evening and it turned from becoming just another fund raising evening to one of joy and happiness, with peoples moods elevated by your singing.Hope you had a safe journey home and we look forward to meeting you sometime in the not to distant future. With very best wishes and warm regards from us all on Table one. Good luck and all the very best, Pervin and Cyrus
Just to say a big thank you for gracing our fund-rising dinner. Your beautiful singing uplifted everyone and made them give more than they would have normally. Our Chair of the Zoroastrian Senior Citizen’s Home Committee has asked me to thank you as well. Some of the people present, have asked me whether they could go to hear you at a concert. If you are doing anything where the public are allowed to buy tickets, do let me know and I shall inform them. Many thanks and see you soon, Shernaz
Can’t thank you enough for yesterday, what a performance it was brilliant everybody loved it, lots of people asking about you, including management at the golf club, will give them your details if that’s ok with you. Thanks again! Kind regards, Sharon
Thank you so much for organising such a superb ensemble for our Musicals evening. They were all absolutely wonderful and Stephen was a delight to work with. We had 110 people there and everyone enjoyed the evening. They were blown away by the amazing voices! I would be very pleased if you could pass on my gratitude and congratulations to the whole team. Thank you again, Melissa
Many thanks for your performance; it was fantastic, and so many guests have commented on how it was one of the highlights of the day. With best wishes, John
Wow! Just wanted to let you know the party was a great success……and Russell & Louisa were absolutely brilliant…….lovely people and wonderful voices…..they really were the icing on the cake. I can’t thank them enough. Best wishes Mark
You were truly wonderful on Saturday evening! Everyone agreed it was a real treat to experience your performance. I will happily write a glowing review for you and will, of course, pass on your details to any of Saturday’s guests. I captured some fun video and photos on my iPhone and will edit them over the next couple of days and share them with you. Likewise, I’m so pleased I found you – you are a real gem! Love Lesley x
Thank you again for making our evening amazing, you where just amazing in every way!!! and would love to see you perform again, we just love your voice and so did everyone else. Thank you once again for a fabulous evening, Linda Xx
Hi Sara, sorry for such a late reply…I can’t thank you and your colleague enough for the spectacular performance at the wedding. You blew everyone away and it really added something to the day!! Bravo! I have spoken to the photographer and she is happy to share the photos with you. She said could you contact her via Facebook if possible please? Her Facebook name is Pixie Abott photography
Can I add my gratitude. Your arrangement was exquisite and you really made the evening extra special. We will all remember it for many years. All the best, Prapa
Thanks again for such a wonderful start to our evening. It really set the tone for the event and Wyn was clearly very moved. I am also very grateful for the effort that you went to in order to insure that the difficult logistics did not get in the way of the evening! BW, Nick
Thank you both from all of us here at Bicester Hotel. The performance was brilliant! I’m currently awaiting for the pictures to be sent from our owner, once I have received this I will forward over a couple of images onto yourself. Kind regards, Charlotte, Wedding & Events Coordinator, Bicester Hotel, Golf & Spa
Alyson and I cannot thank you and your colleagues enough for your excellent and wonderful performance last Saturday for our Golden Wedding event. Other than our 3 children, no one including our grandchildren, had any idea of what had been organised. As a consequence your opening event had great impact of initial horror before breaking into song – I know our grandchildren loved it all! The occasion was a huge success and already from thank yous we have received all comment on the ” wonderfully entertaining opera singers”! So thank you so much for being a major contributor to our day. You never know there may be other occasions we may meet! Many thanks again to you all.
Yes they were absolutely brilliant and really got huge crowds, thank you! x Frankie
Dear Tom, Could you please extend my appreciation and thanks to Rebecca and Stephen for the memorable performances from you all on Friday at my President’s Evening, Bisham? It is an understatement that your singing was superb and it was appreciated that you were mixed with the guests. I have had tremendous feedback, including people being moved to tears and some men who ‘didn’t like opera’ being totally won over and excited by it. I look forward to looking out for your names in concert programmes in the future. Warm regards, Louise
Thank you so much for being such amazing entertainment for our VIP event. Everybody thought you were both incredible and we will definitely recommend you. Kind regards, Sarah
Good Afternoon Sara, Just a quick note to let you know what a wonderful service you provided yesterday, I have spoken with Mrs Neves today and she was absolutely over the moon with everything, she also told me that everybody she she has spoken to also commented on what a lovely service it was and a massive part of that is down to your professionalism, so we would also like to offer our thanks to you. Kind Regards, Peter
Dear Sara, Just wanted to say a big thank you for your performance yesterday – my mother and everyone else really appreciated it – a very special day for her. Thank you, Charlotte 
Hi Sara, Thank you again for this morning – the feedback has been fantastic, and we all loved listening to your beautiful voice! Everyone commented too, on how lively and engaging Scilla and you are, and how well that caught and kept the children’s attention. We loved the choice of songs too. It was fantastic! With kindest regards, Liz
Hello Sara, All the guests at the party after Irene’s funeral said what a beautiful voice you have and how wonderfully you sang O Mio Babbino Caro. The whole funeral service went fabulously well and you and your choir, led by James the choirmaster, had a huge role to play in its success. It was an absolute delight to work with you. Thank you for your professionalism – you and Hartley Voices certainly delivered the high quality of musicianship that Irene would have loved. I wish you every success in the future. Many, many thanks. All best wishes, Lesley
