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!

Best wishes,

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

opera singers hire ukI, 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

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 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!

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

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

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.
