Frequently Asked Questions
Why have a singer perform at your wedding?
A live performance adds a unique and special touch to your wedding which cannot be compared to using recorded music. Not only does it add a touch of class to your ceremony or reception, it can make the signing of the register and setting the scene of the wedding a much more romantic experience.
When is the best time to have a singer perform?
During a ceremony a singer can be used to set the mood before the ceremony begins, while the bride is arriving, during the signing of the register, and while the guests are leaving.
A singer also adds a great atmosphere to a wedding reception or breakfast, when guests are arriving, as background while the guests are eating, or as entertainment later in the procedings.
What do you sing?
I sing mostly classical music, but can perform most styles of music, including jazz and show tunes, which are particularly popular at receptions and wedding breakfasts.
Please see my repetoir section for song suggestions and contact me for anything you would like performed which isn't listed there.
Can I have religious music performed at my non- religious service?
No. Any wedding not performed in a church cannot use religious music. However there are many very beautiful pieces of music which have no religious content. Please get in touch for suggestions.
Do you have any references from happy customers?
Of course! I have lots of references from people that have enjoyed my singing at their weddings. Here are just a few of them:
‘Nara was a wonderful and unique addition to our wedding. We got loads of comments from our guests about her beautiful voice and great style. She was really keen to tailor what she sang to suit our event by asking us questions and giving her expert advice. I would recommend her to anybody planning an event’
Kate and Alistair Kuechel
Nara’s stunning voice is beautiful and distinctive, that she is classically trained is obvious but there is also a uniqueness to her sound that elevates her above other singers who might otherwise be comparable. Though friendly and personable, Nara is a true professional; liasing with us extensively leading up to our day to make sure that the final song choices were exactly what we wanted and then practising them to make sure they were delivered perfectly. This allowed us to relax and enjoy her angelic sound. Overall Nara’s singing was without a doubt one of the highlights of our wedding, really helping to make our day utterly unique and special. I would not hesitate to recommend her 100% to anyone thinking of hiring her.
