10/10 highly recommend
We recently had Chess sing at our intimate wedding during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and all we can say is wow! All of our guests commented how talented she was and some even thought it was a playlist before they spotted her! Chess was really easy to communicate with, providing us with suggestions and helped make the day as special as it was. Thank you Chess for all your help

Can't thank her enough!
Chess was absolutely amazing for our church wedding ceremony. She was really great at communicating with us and understanding what would make our ceremony special and went out of her way to learn some of the songs we wanted. Can't thank her enough!

She really has the voice of an angel
Chess was our singer at our wedding ceremony. She sung 2 songs for us and our guests during the service and she really has the voice of an Angel. Not only did she sound fantastic, she was also extremely communicative, arrived an hour before the service to practice with the pianist who she had never worked with before and put me totally at ease. She’s also just a really lovely girl. I couldn’t recommend her and her stunning voice more highly

Her pure voice is absolutely beautiful
My husband and I booked Chess to sing at our church wedding ceremony two weeks ago. Her performance was stunning and she made our ceremony unique and very special indeed. Her pure voice is absolutely beautiful and a joy to listen to. She sang several songs for us, both classical and more modern and she switched between the two effortlessly. All of our guests commented afterwards on just how excellent she was and how much they had enjoyed listening to her.

Her voice blew me and my guests away
Chess gave my wedding an extra boost. Her beautiful voice paired with her professionalism gave me (the bride) pure joy. From the start, she was attentive and listened to what I was looking for. I didn't have to chase or re-explain myself at any point. Then on the day, her voice blew me and my guests away. I can't recommend her enough!

We wholeheartedly recommend Chess
We hired Chess to sing for our garden wedding ceremony and reception. In the months leading up to the wedding, Chess was very courteous and engaging. Also, on the day, she delivered a beautiful set in a friendly and professional manner. She was a highlight for us and our guests commented on her elegance and talent. We wholeheartedly recommend Chess for your own celebrations. From Bethany & Sergiy in Hampshire.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Singing at the national trust Clivedon House, it was just spectacular.

What about your business are you most proud of?

I have built my business up to what it is today from scratch. I gained lots of skills and knowledge working in the industry when I first went professional and it has all led up to this moment in time where I have so much going on for me. I put a lot of effort into the weddings part of my job as it is where I get the most joy out of performing. Wedding days are so full of joy and happiness and I love being a part of it.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Trust your suppliers, they know what they are doing, they are industry professionals and do this all the time. They want you to be as calm and comfortable as possible and want to take the stress away from you.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

After confirming I am available for their date, we will talk through and decide where it is they would like me to sing. After deciding sets and times I will send the couple my full repertoire where they can browse songs and see what songs they would like where. If they are happy to go ahead, I will draw up a contract to sing with a 10% deposit taken at the time of booking. After the booking is complete we have until the wedding date to get all the final details sorted!

What makes a romantic first dance?

I never like to sway opinions of first dances as I have seen so many done so differently! This is a very personal decision for the couple.
