A lovely lady with the most beautiful voice!

Cara is the most lovely lady with the most beautiful voice. Cara was a recommended supplier from our venue and I had seen lots of videos of her singing away in the sunshine and I knew she was who I wanted to sing at our wedding. We booked Cara for our ceremony, reception and wedding breakfast and she was just amazing. Cara learnt 2 new songs for our day including the song that I walked down the aisle to. The wedding breakfast was a highlight, all the guests commented on how lovely her voice was and how she made the atmosphere so relaxed and upbeat. Cara was so helpful during the wedding planning, she has a huge list of songs already and she played a gorgeous mix of songs on the day. Cara was a joy to talk to before and during our wedding and she was so helpful and professional. Cara made our day so memorable and the guests absolutely loved her. Thank you so much Cara!

The most stunning and flawless wedding acoustic musician

Cára played at our wedding at Irnham Hall in June, during our ceremony and reception drinks and wow she was absolutely flawless and her voice is just stunning. All of our guests loved her and were complimenting her throughout the day and have been ever since. Cára singing at our wedding was exactly what we wanted and more. She is a beautiful person with a stunning voice and the most genuine personality. The ceremony and drinks reception flowed seamlessly with Cára performing and creating all the wedding vibes we wanted, we simply couldn’t of asked for anything more perfect for our day! Cára, thank you so much for being a part of the best day out of lives. We will cherish the memories forever and we wholeheartedly recommend you to everyone!

I'll never forget Cára singing me down the aisle

Wow, Cára was absolutely amazing on our wedding day and I am so happy we had her there. Cára sang for us and our guests all day up until our wedding breakfast was finished. The atmosphere when she was singing was everything I wished for and it made us all get up for a dance during the wedding breakfast! I will never forget having Cára sing me down the aisle ❤️ thank you so much for being such a big part in our special day x

100% recommend her, we love her voice...

Cara is just amazing and we would 100% recommend her, we love her voice and she was perfect as our wedding singer for both the ceremony and daytime entertainment. Even several weeks later our guests are still telling me how amazing she is! Cara is also very professional and worked with us along the way to make everything happen as we wanted it, and even learnt a song for us. Thank you Cara for making our day extra special! 🙂

Absolutely Amazing!!

We booked Cara as a fairly last minute addition to our day when our original plans fell through and I can safely say she absolutely MADE our evening! In the lead up she was really helpful, really easy to chat to and made picking the songs so fun! She was completely on board with learning a few songs for us which meant we could have some that were really special to us, and we just can't thank her enough! She is just absolutely amazing at what she does, the way she works the set list and blends songs into each other is flawless, and she makes each song her own in such a fun way. I can easily say it was the best gig I've been too (and I wasn't expecting that from my wedding day!), I didn't want to leave the dancefloor and so many guests have commented on how brilliant she was and how fantastic she is! Thank you so much Cara for being a part of our day, as silly as it sounds I had always had a vision of dancing on my wedding day to my favourite song (Dancing in the Moonlight) and the way you did it was just beyond all expectations, it's a beautiful memory that absolutely fills me with joy, I don't think I can thank you enough!!

All our guests loved her...

We were lucky enough to have Cára play at our wedding last month. She was fantastic! All our guests loved her and were asking for her details after the wedding. Her song list is great too, something for everyone. Only regret is we wished we booked her for longer as she was that good! Thank you so much Cára!

What is your most memorable wedding?

I had the pleasure of performing for my secondary school music teacher in summer 2021 and it was a very 'full circle' moment for me as she was one of the people in my life who encouraged me to follow my career in music and performing for her and her new husband was an incredible honour, the whole day was like a private music festival it was so much fun!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Acoustic, pop, folky, soft, fun

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am honestly so proud just to be asked to share such a special part in my couples lives and to provide music for their celebrations! It's so exciting getting to know about their favourite songs and to have the pleasure of entertaining their friends and family.

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

When thinking about entertainment I would always recommend having something going on during the Reception Drinks, as it's a time when your guests are mingling and you'll be off taking photos. Whether that's live music or a photo station with polaroids or a guest book!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

- At the enquiry stage I'm here to answer any of your questions usually over email or Insta DM. My prices and rates are all laid out in packages for the different stages of the day. - I use an Online Booking System so once a quote is sent and accepted, you can find everything in the one place which is super easy for me and my couple's to use. - I then send over my Setlist and how many songs I'll need you to choose for the day and start chatting about any initial song requests! (I love learning new songs). - A month before the Wedding I check in to firm up all the timings, logistics, song requests and check in with you! Usually over a Zoom call. - Then it's counting down till the big day!

What makes a romantic first dance?

I have a tip if you're unsure whether you want a first dance in front of everyone - there's a moment between the Reception Drinks and Meal where the event manager or ushers will get your guests seated to welcome you in for the Wedding Breakfast. I've played a private first dance during this moment before and it is SO romantic and personal and a breather for you both to have fun and chat and dance. I have never done the same song for a first dance! Everyone has such different choices and I love it when it's a song that people might not expect done in an acoustic way. I can always speed up or slow down a song if you want a different feel to the original.

What is your number one floor-filler?

My 80s, 90s and 00s mashups!

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

Fleetwood Mac

What is the soundtrack to your life?

Taylor Swift - Folklore (album)
