“Dear Catherine, What can I say\u2026\u2026..you and Russell were amazing! I have had so many compliments regarding your performance at our recent Charity Dinner. Thank you both so much. Not only were your voices superb but the element of surprise and the little touches of comedy were just right and everyone who was there thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Just to let you know that we went on to raise \u00a34770 for Breast Cancer Care which was wonderful. Thank you both again I will be delighted to recommend Hartley Voices to anyone looking for that touch of class. Kind regards<\/em>”\u00a0– Sue (Soprano & Tenor Singing Waiters Duo-Charity Dinner, Nailcote Hall Hotel, Warwickshire)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Dear Lisa, I have just been watching the video which seems to capture it all very well. Your performance was most musical and sensitive and very well received and I am grateful to all the soloists for putting on such a great show.

All the very best<\/em>”\u00a0– Bob (Soloists-Verdi Requiem Performance, Birmingham Symphony Hall)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Hello Sara, Beautiful, Brilliant, Lovely, Wonderful, Awesome, just a few of the words used to describe your and Luisa’s performance on Thursday. Mine, Perfect. It was exactly as I would have wished it to be. Not too happy, not too sad, but perfomed with feeling, love and thought. Even the Vicar complimented us on a Perfect Befitting Service for a well loved Mum. I understand the congregation was listening to Luisa playing whilst waiting our arrival and thoroughly enjoyed it even if it was such a sad occasion. The Vicar said it filled the church beautifully. It is a beautiful building. Thank you so very much – the only thing missing was our Mum. If only we had thought about organising something like this for one of her Birthdays it would have been even more perfect – she would have loved it. Please convey our sincere thanks to Luisa and once again many many thanks to you. May we wish you both and your families every happiness in 2011. Kindest regards,<\/em>”\u00a0– Anne and Family (Soprano & Harp Duo-Funeral Service, Faversham, Kent)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Many people came up to us afterwards to say how much they had enjoyed your singing – as I think must have been evident to you at the event.

We, ouselves, are constantly refering to the looks of wonder and hapiness on the faces of our guests when you were performing. The way you dramatised the pieces, and interacted with the guests was superb, and it made our day!!!! Thank you so much!

“Hi Sara, You were absolutely brilliant, thank you so much. I really enjoyed hearing you sing. What an amazing voice, wow. It really made the ceremony special. I’m just sorry I missed hearing you sing the songs whilst the guests were seated. The Flower Duet (solo!), Tra Bo Dau and the Verdi were all fantastic. Everyone was amazed at your voice. Sorry I didn’t get to chat to you but as you’d predicted, it was never on the cards! I really appreciate your patience and advice in choosing the songs. I like to get things just right, and it was, it was perfect. Regards<\/em>,”\u00a0– Gail (Soprano Soloist-Wedding Ceremony, Caledonian Club, London)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Sara, On behalf of Janine and myself, I would like to say thank you for your amazing performance on Saturday. You far exceeded both our expectation in terms of the quality of the performance and also the interaction you had with the guests and I know our guests had a similarly good impression. Without your ‘hand-on’ approach the evening would have been much less enjoyable for many guests, especially my father, who has probably not danced to anything so energetically since the 70s! We would not hesitate to recommend to our friends and family. Thanks again<\/em>,”<\/div>\n

The choir also added so much to the hymns and to the general atmosphere. Please pass on our thanks to everyone concerned. With kind regards, Emma.\u00a0<\/em>p.s. your voice in particular was spectacularly beautiful. My Godfather is a particular fan of sopranos and he said that he thought your voice had a rare and special quality. I could have listened to it forever.

“Hi Sara, I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your help with arranging the contract for Russell to sing with us in ‘The Sorcerer’. The show was a great success and we were very pleased with Russell’s performance. The leading tenor in G&S can sometimes be a rather ‘cardboard cutout’ stereotype, but, luckily our director, Alistair Donkin, wanted him played as an ‘upper class twit of the year’…and Russell rose to the challenge!! He was a pleasure to work with, and added a great deal to our show. Thank you again.<\/em>”\u00a0– Alan (Tenor Performance Contract, Gilbert & Sullivan Opera, Courtyard Theatre, Hereford)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“What can I say – having the Wedding Crashers performing as a surprise at the end of our event made the atmosphere absolutely buzz. We had request after request for more songs from them. Not only are they incredibly talented in voice, they carefully created a song just for our event and at all times were charming. Thank you wonderful boys – will be seeing you again soon!<\/em>”\u00a0– Caroline (The Wedding Crashers-Corporate Event, London)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thank you for all your talent and professionalism! ‘Hi Liliana, Happy New Year to you and hope you had a great Christmas. This is my first day back since the event so haven’t had a chance to tell you how much everyone enjoyed the Operatic singers. They were truly fantastic and would definitely use them again – they were far better than I could have expected – they pitched the songs spot on and were so very entertaining – amusing, emotional, fun and all very gifted. Can’t thank you enough for recommending them – they were absolutely perfect.’ Thank you so much and will certainly be in touch if we need to book for another event.

Kindest regards<\/em>,”\u00a0– Stephanie (Solo Baritone-Memorial Service-Westerham, Kent)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We have had many requests from our friends for your details and I sincerely hope you will deservingly secure further bookings after today. I would recommend you highly and I have been very impressed with the personal service you gave being so understanding and patient in finalising the programme for us, so that experiences like this come out of the corporate realm and make a 70 year old man and his friends very very happy.

“Cath, I just wanted to thank you so much again for your singing at our wedding. I am SO delighted that I found you and decided to ask you to sing – I can’t bear to think that it was all done at the last minute and that we might not have had you! The ambience you created was unforgettable, really. You struck exactly the right note. Throughout the reception, more people asked me where I found you than anything else! Some of the most gratifying comments were from of the “tougher” contingent of our guests – namely some of the older men from Scarborough – who are usually very “matter of fact” about things. They all said they had lumps in their throats and were barely keeping it together!! You added to my personal memories of the day so much. I loved your choice of Casta Diva to walk into – it really gave grand status to the occasion and made me feel elegant and beautiful! I don’t think I need to tell you how successful O Mio Babbino Caro went – my Dad was obviously in pieces. He loves opera and the two of us have shared many happy memories attending operas together, so this song will now have added meaning for us. Habanera was great and the “audience” in the other room said they saw how much I was enjoying it, even through the TV screen. You turned the (civil) ceremony from something I felt was going to be an anti-climax into the highlight of my day – which if I think about it, is really how it ought to be. Many thanks again!<\/em>”\u00a0– Sophie(Soprano Soloist, Civil Ceremony-Kew Gardens, London)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I would just like to say thank you for organising Catherine to sing at our wedding in November. The whole day was fantastic and the drinks reception was brought alive by Catherine and Andy’s wonderful music. Catherine was very accommodating with the repertoire of songs that we wanted and sang them beautifully. It made such a difference to have someone who was not only organised and professional but also sympathetic to the importance of the event for Lucy and I. We would not hesitate to recommend Hartley Voices to anyone looking for wonderful performers for an event.

They sounded absolutely fantastic and helped us to get a number of the broadcast media interested while were stood outside the England cricket team’s hotel, even being filmed for BBC News 24 and ITN! They were enthusiastic about getting involved as much as possible in what we were doing and even got stuck in to speaking to the public and posing for some great pictures with the photographer.

Russell threw himself perfectly into the role of waiter and we managed to keep everything secret until the very last minute, then our friends were just so surprised when he started to sing. He performed our requested songs brilliantly \u2013 and entertained us really well. Thank you both so much again for making our dinner party so memorable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Russell to anyone else considering hiring him!

“Hi Sara, My wife (Ros) and guests were overwhelmed by your absolutely wonderful performance on Sunday ! I cannot begin to thank you and Catherine enough for the shear pleasure that it brought to Ros’s birthday celebrations and to say how much everyone enjoyed it. Ros is still on “cloud nine” and will, I think , be there for some time to come. Both of you evoked so much feeling and emotion but added a lot of fun and laughter by the way in which you involved some of us in the performance. This was just so perfect. Thank you with all my heart<\/em>.”<\/div>\n

“Just to say that the Singing Waiters were perfect last night. Everyone was taken by surprise and loved it. Our Chief Exec was particularly touched and asked me to pass on his grateful thanks. In usual circumstances he would say something but I think he was rather overcome. So please say that we thought they were wonderful. I don’t know if you kept the lyrics to A Few of My Favourite Things, but he would love to have a copy. Many thanks for all your help with this. I shall certainly recommend you to anyone else who is looking for entertainers – it all went so smoothly.<\/em>”\u00a0– Mary-Lou (Singing Waiters Quartet-Corporate Awards Dinner-London)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I wanted to drop you a note to pass to our wonderful singers from last weekend. Their voices were amazing and they mixed in so professionally with our waiting staff at the beginning that no one was any the wiser. Until they started singing! It was truly magnificant. I will never forget the looks on my friends faces when Russell started singing – they couldn’t believe it. It was just the right balance of guests vs. singers and everyone was completely bowled over. At one point I think more than half were in tears at the beautiful songs from Phantom of the Opera. I just can’t thank you enough. Even the cook and the man who owned the house want your details for future bookings. I will definitely be in touch again when the opportunity arises to book singers. Until then please pass on my heartfelt thanks to both singers – they really made the weekend<\/em>”\u00a0– Catherine (Singing Waiters Duo-Private Party-Warwickshire)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Well – you were right – the boys did a great job. Our team was exceptionally happy and impressed with their efforts. Warner Bros has now in fact been passed and recommended the song to Tim Burton, the movie director… so if nothing else, the boys can at least feel pleased that their wonderful tones will be heard by a Hollywood director.

“Hello Sara, Beautiful, Brilliant, Lovely, Wonderful, Awesome, just a few of the words used to describe your and Luisa’s performance on Thursday. Mine, Perfect. It was exactly as I would have wished it to be. Not too happy, not too sad, but perfomed with feeling, love and thought. Even the Vicar complimented us on a Perfect Befitting Service for a well loved Mum. I understand the congregation was listening to Luisa playing whilst waiting our arrival and thoroughly enjoyed it even if it was such a sad occasion. The Vicar said it filled the church beautifully. It is a beautiful building. Thank you so very much – the only thing missing was our Mum. If only we had thought about organising something like this for one of her Birthdays it would have been even more perfect – she would have loved it. Please convey our sincere thanks to Luisa and once again many many thanks to you. May we wish you both and your families every happiness in 2011. Kindest regards,” – Anne and Family (Soprano & Harp Duo-Funeral Service, Faversham, Kent)<\/p>\n

I’m just sorry I missed hearing you sing the songs whilst the guests were seated. The Flower Duet (solo!), Tra Bo Dau and the Verdi were all fantastic. Everyone was amazed at your voice.

“Sara, On behalf of Janine and myself, I would like to say thank you for your amazing performance on Saturday. You far exceeded both our expectation in terms of the quality of the performance and also the interaction you had with the guests and I know our guests had a similarly good impression.

The show was a great success and we were very pleased with Russell’s performance. The leading tenor in G&S can sometimes be a rather ‘cardboard cutout’ stereotype, but, luckily our director, Alistair Donkin, wanted him played as an ‘upper class twit of the year’…and Russell rose to the challenge!! He was a pleasure to work with, and added a great deal to our show. Thank you again.” – Alan (Tenor Performance Contract, Gilbert & Sullivan Opera, Courtyard Theatre, Hereford)<\/p>\n

We have had many requests from our friends for your details and I sincerely hope you will deservingly secure further bookings after today.

“Cath, I just wanted to thank you so much again for your singing at our wedding. I am SO delighted that I found you and decided to ask you to sing – I can’t bear to think that it was all done at the last minute and that we might not have had you! The ambience you created was unforgettable, really. You struck exactly the right note. Throughout the reception, more people asked me where I found you than anything else! Some of the most gratifying comments were from of the “tougher” contingent of our guests – namely some of the older men from Scarborough – who are usually very “matter of fact” about things. They all said they had lumps in their throats and were barely keeping it together!! You added to my personal memories of the day so much. I loved your choice of Casta Diva to walk into – it really gave grand status to the occasion and made me feel elegant and beautiful! I don’t think I need to tell you how successful O Mio Babbino Caro went – my Dad was obviously in pieces. He loves opera and the two of us have shared many happy memories attending operas together, so this song will now have added meaning for us. Habanera was great and the “audience” in the other room said they saw how much I was enjoying it, even through the TV screen. You turned the (civil) ceremony from something I felt was going to be an anti-climax into the highlight of my day – which if I think about it, is really how it ought to be. Many thanks again!” – Sophie(Soprano Soloist, Civil Ceremony-Kew Gardens, London)<\/p>\n

“I would just like to say thank you for organising Catherine to sing at our wedding in November. The whole day was fantastic and the drinks reception was brought alive by Catherine and Andy’s wonderful music. Catherine was very accommodating with the repertoire of songs that we wanted and sang them beautifully. It made such a difference to have someone who was not only organised and professional but also sympathetic to the importance of the event for Lucy and I. We would not hesitate to recommend Hartley Voices to anyone looking for wonderful performers for an event. Thanks again” – Will (Soprano and Pianist-Wedding-London)<\/p>\n

“I just wanted to drop you an email to say how fantastic the guys from the barbershop were on Monday. They sounded absolutely fantastic and helped us to get a number of the broadcast media interested while were stood outside the England cricket team’s hotel, even being filmed for BBC News 24 and ITN! They were enthusiastic about getting involved as much as possible in what we were doing and even got stuck in to speaking to the public and posing for some great pictures with the photographer. Many thanks.” – Gemma (AKA Barbershop-PR Campaign- Central London)<\/p>\n

“I just wanted to let you know that Russell was a huge success on Sunday! Our friends have since told us they have not stopped talking about the evening to other people. Russell threw himself perfectly into the role of waiter and we managed to keep everything secret until the very last minute, then our friends were just so surprised when he started to sing. He performed our requested songs brilliantly \u2013 and entertained us really well. Thank you both so much again for making our dinner party so memorable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Russell to anyone else considering hiring him! Wishing you both the very best,” – Judy (Singing Waiter -Dinner Party-Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands)<\/p>\n

I cannot begin to thank you and Catherine enough for the shear pleasure that it brought to Ros’s birthday celebrations and to say how much everyone enjoyed it. Ros is still on “cloud nine” and will, I think , be there for some time to come. Both of you evoked so much feeling and emotion but added a lot of fun and laughter by the way in which you involved some of us in the performance. This was just so perfect. Thank you with all my heart.”
\n– Russ (Soprano Duo-Birthday Party-Gravesend, Kent)<\/p>\n

“Just to say that the Singing Waiters were perfect last night. Everyone was taken by surprise and loved it. Our Chief Exec was particularly touched and asked me to pass on his grateful thanks. In usual circumstances he would say something but I think he was rather overcome. So please say that we thought they were wonderful. I don’t know if you kept the lyrics to A Few of My Favourite Things, but he would love to have a copy. Many thanks for all your help with this. I shall certainly recommend you to anyone else who is looking for entertainers – it all went so smoothly.” – Mary-Lou (Singing Waiters Quartet-Corporate Awards Dinner-London)<\/p>\n

“The whole day was fantastic and the drinks reception was brought alive by Catherine and Andy’s wonderful music! Catherine was very accomodating with the repertoire of songs that we wanted and sang them beautifully. It made such a difference to have someone who was not only organised and professional but also sympathetic to the importance of the event for Lucy and I. We would not hesitate to recommend Hartley Voices and Catherine Fish to anyone looking for wonderful performers for an event.

“I wanted to drop you a note to pass to our wonderful singers from last weekend. Their voices were amazing and they mixed in so professionally with our waiting staff at the beginning that no one was any the wiser. Until they started singing! It was truly magnificant. I will never forget the looks on my friends faces when Russell started singing – they couldn’t believe it. It was just the right balance of guests vs. singers and everyone was completely bowled over. At one point I think more than half were in tears at the beautiful songs from Phantom of the Opera. I just can’t thank you enough. Even the cook and the man who owned the house want your details for future bookings. I will definitely be in touch again when the opportunity arises to book singers. Until then please pass on my heartfelt thanks to both singers – they really made the weekend” – Catherine (Singing Waiters Duo-Private Party-Warwickshire)<\/p>\n

Was a great show.” – Andrew (Bespoke ‘Singing Nuns…men’-Best Man’s Speech-Buxted, East Sussex)<\/p>\n

“It was absolutely PERFECT! Ted and Richard were fantastic. Not that I had any doubts, when I heard him sing the first song, I knew I had the right tenor for the event. There were over 40 people from Germany, France, Canada, etc. – I think people were surprised and touched. I received many many positive comments. Ted and Richard were very friendly and I really appreciated that given that it was a rather cozy event. Thank you so much for your help!” – Sophia (Tenor Soloist with Pianist-Birthday Party-London)<\/p>\n

“Well – you were right – the boys did a great job. Our team was exceptionally happy and impressed with their efforts. Warner Bros has now in fact been passed and recommended the song to Tim Burton, the movie director… so if nothing else, the boys can at least feel pleased that their wonderful tones will be heard by a Hollywood director. The boys did a fantastic job and we have certainly offered a lead idea. Thank you very much for your help in organizing this.” – Alastair (Barbershop Quartet-Movie Promo Recording-London)<\/p>\n

Mine, Perfect. It was exactly as I would have wished it to be. Not too happy, not too sad, but perfomed with feeling, love and thought. Even the Vicar complimented us on a Perfect Befitting Service for a well loved Mum. I understand the congregation was listening to Luisa playing whilst waiting our arrival and thoroughly enjoyed it even if it was such a sad occasion. The Vicar said it filled the church beautifully. It is a beautiful building. Thank you so very much - the only thing missing was our Mum. If only we had thought about organising something like this for one of her Birthdays it would have been even more perfect - she would have loved it. Please convey our sincere thanks to Luisa and once again many many thanks to you. May we wish you both and your families every happiness in 2011. Kindest regards," - Anne and Family (Soprano & Harp Duo-Funeral Service, Faversham, Kent) "The choir were amazing, they sounded incredible and the guests reactions were amazing!

Regards," - Gail (Soprano Soloist-Wedding Ceremony, Caledonian Club, London) "Sara, On behalf of Janine and myself, I would like to say thank you for your amazing performance on Saturday. You far exceeded both our expectation in terms of the quality of the performance and also the interaction you had with the guests and I know our guests had a similarly good impression.

The show was a great success and we were very pleased with Russell's performance. The leading tenor in G&S can sometimes be a rather 'cardboard cutout' stereotype, but, luckily our director, Alistair Donkin, wanted him played as an 'upper class twit of the year'...and Russell rose to the challenge!! He was a pleasure to work with, and added a great deal to our show. Thank you again." - Alan (Tenor Performance Contract, Gilbert & Sullivan Opera, Courtyard Theatre, Hereford) "Hi Sara, Just a brief note to thank you so much for performing at my Birthday Bash on Wednesday.

Kind Regards," - Amy (Christmas Caroling Quartet-Corporate Party, Knebworth House, Hertfordshire) "Dear Gina, Hope alls well, thank you so much for your help and the trio were brilliant at our carols. Hopefully it is something we can grow over the course of time. I had a chat with Catherine afterwards and would be really interested in the three of them coming back to the Club for our annual staff xmas party. We were thinking on the lines of the singing waiters etc if possible - maybe something quite contemporary. Regards," - Tessa (Christmas Caroling Trio-Private Party-Queen's Club, London) "Hi Sara, Below is the comment of Sharon on your performance. I am sure you will enjoy it. Will keep in touch for future events. Thank you for all your talent and professionalism! 'Hi Liliana, Happy New Year to you and hope you had a great Christmas. This is my first day back since the event so haven't had a chance to tell you how much everyone enjoyed the Operatic singers. They were truly fantastic and would definitely use them again - they were far better than I could have expected - they pitched the songs spot on and were so very entertaining - amusing, emotional, fun and all very gifted. Can't thank you enough for recommending them - they were absolutely perfect.' Thank you so much and will certainly be in touch if we need to book for another event. With very best wishes for 2010." - Liliana (AKA Singing Waiters Trio-Corporate Party-Chatsworth House, Derbyshire) "Dear Sara, I just wanted to drop you a line to say how completely and utterly thrilled my family and I were at Neil's performance yesterday at my mothers Memorial Service - he was stunning and his voice was just amazing and he made a hymn that was so special to my mother and grandfather even more poignant. He had barely started singing when I broke and the tears started falling, it was truly beautiful and I thank you both from the bottom of my heart for making the service just that little bit more special for mummy. Kindest regards," - Stephanie (Solo Baritone-Memorial Service-Westerham, Kent) "Dear Sara, Thank you once again for the brilliant performance. With many thanks and kind regards," - Maria (Carol Singing Quartet & Organist-Carol Concert-Fifield, Oxfordshire) "Hi Sara, Just a quick thank you for your wonderful performance last Friday evening by you and your colleague, the feedback I have had this morning was very positive and every one enjoyed hearing your lovely voices. Kind regards," - Carol (Singing Waiters Duo-Corporate Party, Oxfordshire) "Dear Sara, Catherine was phenomenal!

Best wishes," - Andrea (Solo Baritone-Birthday Party, London) "Dear Sara, A big, big thank you for the most amazing choir on our wedding day.

Best wishes for 2010," - Kate & Steve (Carol Singing Quartet-Wedding Ceremony & Drinks Reception, South Stoke) "Dear Sara, We are all still talking about how wonderful you were today. You have without exception been praised for your beautiful voice, particularly Michaela's song....my father was so touched that you learned that for him and we were all very moved by your performance...I think pretty much everyone had a tear in their eye. We have had many requests from our friends for your details and I sincerely hope you will deservingly secure further bookings after today. I would recommend you highly and I have been very impressed with the personal service you gave being so understanding and patient in finalising the programme for us, so that experiences like this come out of the corporate realm and make a 70 year old man and his friends very very happy. Kind regards and heartfelt thanks." - Cathy (Tenor and Soprano Singing Waiters Duo-Birthday Party-Chelsea, London) "Sara, Great success thanks again - have been handing your name out to many interested parties. Thx again" - Rod (AKA Singing Waiters Quartet-Wedding Reception, Blenheim Palace) "Dear Sara, Firstly I hope you managed to all get home safely and had a pleasant journey and secondly thank you so much for being a very important part of what was a very special day for both Janine and myself. From both an entertainment and professional point of view you were all exceptional and I know will be a major part of the memory that everybody will have taken from the day. Once again many thanks and I sincerely hope that that we will meet again in the future." - Malcolm & Janine (AKA Singing Waiters Quartet-Wedding Ceremony, Dinner and Reception, Isle of Man) "Cath, I just wanted to thank you so much again for your singing at our wedding. I am SO delighted that I found you and decided to ask you to sing - I can't bear to think that it was all done at the last minute and that we might not have had you! The ambience you created was unforgettable, really. You struck exactly the right note. Throughout the reception, more people asked me where I found you than anything else! Some of the most gratifying comments were from of the "tougher" contingent of our guests - namely some of the older men from Scarborough - who are usually very "matter of fact" about things. They all said they had lumps in their throats and were barely keeping it together!! You added to my personal memories of the day so much. I loved your choice of Casta Diva to walk into - it really gave grand status to the occasion and made me feel elegant and beautiful! I don't think I need to tell you how successful O Mio Babbino Caro went - my Dad was obviously in pieces. He loves opera and the two of us have shared many happy memories attending operas together, so this song will now have added meaning for us. Habanera was great and the "audience" in the other room said they saw how much I was enjoying it, even through the TV screen. You turned the (civil) ceremony from something I felt was going to be an anti-climax into the highlight of my day - which if I think about it, is really how it ought to be. Many thanks again!" - Sophie(Soprano Soloist, Civil Ceremony-Kew Gardens, London) "Hi Sara, Could you please thank the singers who preformed at Clandon last Tuesday. They were great and I will be in touch regarding other dates at Clandon. Many thanks" - Phil (Tenor and Soprano Singing Waiters Duo-Birthday Party-Guildford) "I was at the dinner party at Clandon Park last Tuesday, and I just want to tell you what a great experience your 'act' made it. Both the voices were really beautiful, and turned it into a very special evening. Thank you" - Alison (Tenor and Soprano Singing Waiters Duo-Birthday Party-Guildford) "I would just like to say thank you for organising Catherine to sing at our wedding in November. The whole day was fantastic and the drinks reception was brought alive by Catherine and Andy's wonderful music. Catherine was very accommodating with the repertoire of songs that we wanted and sang them beautifully. It made such a difference to have someone who was not only organised and professional but also sympathetic to the importance of the event for Lucy and I. We would not hesitate to recommend Hartley Voices to anyone looking for wonderful performers for an event. Thanks again" - Will (Soprano and Pianist-Wedding-London) "I just wanted to drop you an email to say how fantastic the guys from the barbershop were on Monday. They sounded absolutely fantastic and helped us to get a number of the broadcast media interested while were stood outside the England cricket team's hotel, even being filmed for BBC News 24 and ITN! They were enthusiastic about getting involved as much as possible in what we were doing and even got stuck in to speaking to the public and posing for some great pictures with the photographer. Many thanks." - Gemma (AKA Barbershop-PR Campaign- Central London) "I just wanted to let you know that Russell was a huge success on Sunday! Our friends have since told us they have not stopped talking about the evening to other people. Russell threw himself perfectly into the role of waiter and we managed to keep everything secret until the very last minute, then our friends were just so surprised when he started to sing. He performed our requested songs brilliantly \u2013 and entertained us really well. Thank you both so much again for making our dinner party so memorable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Russell to anyone else considering hiring him! Wishing you both the very best," - Judy (Singing Waiter -Dinner Party-Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands) "Thanks for Saturday evening. We thought it was a great show and thoroughly enjoyed it." - Terry (Singing Waiters Quartet -Anniversary Party-Chalfolt Saint Giles, Buckinghamshire) "We can't thank you all enough. It was just fantastic. Everything we had hoped for. It was a very memorable addition to an excellent day - and the backdrop of the rain pouring down behind you almost added to it! The 'intro' you devised was perfect and had everyone fooled and made it all such fun. Thank you!" - Diana (Singing Waiters Quartet -Garden Party-Sevenoaks, Kent) "Dear Sara, We wanted to thank you so much for singing at our wedding. You are very talented, and the three songs you sang were outstanding. The day was the best of our lives, and you played a big part in making all our dreams come true. If you ever need a referral please do not hesitate to ask, so many of our guests commented on you and your performance. Love and thanks," - David & Carolyn (Soprano Soloist-Wedding Ceremony-Amington, Staffordshire) "We just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU! You made our wedding day! We loved every minute of your performance as did ALL our guests. Everyone here talked about you endlessly. Thank you so much. You were really fantastic." - Robbie & Caroline (Soprano and Tenor SingingWaiters Duo-Wedding Reception-Sparshold, Hampshire) "Hi Sara, My wife (Ros) and guests were overwhelmed by your absolutely wonderful performance on Sunday ! I cannot begin to thank you and Catherine enough for the shear pleasure that it brought to Ros's birthday celebrations and to say how much everyone enjoyed it. Ros is still on "cloud nine" and will, I think , be there for some time to come. Both of you evoked so much feeling and emotion but added a lot of fun and laughter by the way in which you involved some of us in the performance. This was just so perfect. Thank you with all my heart." - Russ (Soprano Duo-Birthday Party-Gravesend, Kent) "Just to say that the Singing Waiters were perfect last night. Everyone was taken by surprise and loved it. Our Chief Exec was particularly touched and asked me to pass on his grateful thanks. In usual circumstances he would say something but I think he was rather overcome. So please say that we thought they were wonderful. I don't know if you kept the lyrics to A Few of My Favourite Things, but he would love to have a copy. Many thanks for all your help with this. I shall certainly recommend you to anyone else who is looking for entertainers - it all went so smoothly." - Mary-Lou (Singing Waiters Quartet-Corporate Awards Dinner-London) "The whole day was fantastic and the drinks reception was brought alive by Catherine and Andy's wonderful music! Catherine was very accomodating with the repertoire of songs that we wanted and sang them beautifully. It made such a difference to have someone who was not only organised and professional but also sympathetic to the importance of the event for Lucy and I. We would not hesitate to recommend Hartley Voices and Catherine Fish to anyone looking for wonderful performers for an event. Thanks again" - Will (Jazz Singer & Pianist, Wedding Reception-London) "To Sara & Team, Just a quick thank you for your performance at our wedding recently. I think it's fair to say that all of our guests were blown away by the standard of your singing and really enjoyed the surprise! It put the icing on the cake on a fantastic day!" - Vikki & Marcus Randles (Singing Waiters Quartet-Wedding-Charlecote, Warks) "We are back after a wonderful honeymoon - and just wanted to drop you a little note to say a HUGE thanks for performing at our wedding.

It was just perfect." - Bridget and Leigh (Singing Waiters Quartet-Wedding Breakfast-Bingley, West Yorkshire) "I just wanted to say thank you for your help in the organisation of the Pringles campaign.

Their voices were amazing and they mixed in so professionally with our waiting staff at the beginning that no one was any the wiser. Until they started singing! It was truly magnificant. I will never forget the looks on my friends faces when Russell started singing - they couldn't believe it. It was just the right balance of guests vs. singers and everyone was completely bowled over. At one point I think more than half were in tears at the beautiful songs from Phantom of the Opera. I just can't thank you enough. Even the cook and the man who owned the house want your details for future bookings. I will definitely be in touch again when the opportunity arises to book singers. Until then please pass on my heartfelt thanks to both singers - they really made the weekend" - Catherine (Singing Waiters Duo-Private Party-Warwickshire) "I just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the carol singers who entertained us at our Christmas party at the London Art House on Friday night.

You sounded great..."- Marianne and Mike (Barbershop Quartet-Wedding-Royston, Hertfordshire) "Well all the dust has settled and was a job well done. I lost track of the line up anyway as I was busy getting back from Oz! We only had one problem that the audience were laughing so loudly we couldnt hear the music at one point - a good problem to have! Thanks for your help. Was a great show." - Andrew (Bespoke 'Singing Nuns...men'-Best Man's Speech-Buxted, East Sussex) "It was absolutely PERFECT! Ted and Richard were fantastic. Not that I had any doubts, when I heard him sing the first song, I knew I had the right tenor for the event. There were over 40 people from Germany, France, Canada, etc. - I think people were surprised and touched. I received many many positive comments. Ted and Richard were very friendly and I really appreciated that given that it was a rather cozy event. Thank you so much for your help!" - Sophia (Tenor Soloist with Pianist-Birthday Party-London) "Just to say that everyone thought you were all absolutely MARVELOUS! It made this year's annual lunch stand out and the trustees have no decided that some sort of music is a must for future years!

With sincere thanks - Lucy (Singing Waiters Trio-Corporate Fundraising Dinner-London) "Ps - dancing with Chief Executive John was a stroke of genius!" "I am writing to thank you for making all the excellent arrangements for last week's dinner. The performance by Russell, Catherine and David was of the highest order and they adapted the repertoire very much to capture the warmth and spirit of the evening. They are great ambassadors for Hartley Voices. It was also good of them to stay after the end of the performance to talk to many of the guests. I look forward to welcoming them back to Bitchfield on a future occasion." - Peter (Singing Waiters Duo with Pianist-Charity Fundraising Dinner-Belsay, Newcastle) "Sara, Thank you so much for your efforts on Saturday - you and your 'band' did a fabulous job.

I know it was not at all your usual practice, but it all went very well. You were very patient and professional.

If you ever had occasion to seek an endorsement or recommendation, I would be happy to oblige." - Gordon (Bespoke Madrigal and Opera Performance-Birthday Party-London) "Hi Sara Thank you for providing such excellent singers.

Our team was exceptionally happy and impressed with their efforts. Warner Bros has now in fact been passed and recommended the song to Tim Burton, the movie director... so if nothing else, the boys can at least feel pleased that their wonderful tones will be heard by a Hollywood director. The boys did a fantastic job and we have certainly offered a lead idea. Thank you very much for your help in organizing this." - Alastair (Barbershop Quartet-Movie Promo Recording-London) "Thanks Sara . . . we all enjoyed ourselves and your singers will be on the lips of everyone for quite a time, you were all excellent." - Graham (A Cappella Quartet-Birthday Party-Midhurst, West Sussex) "Thanks for organizing the wonderful singers.

Please pass on our gratitude to the quartet, we hope that they enjoyed themselves as well. Thank you so much for all of your assistance, we will most certainly be recommending you to our partners and clients!
