‘At one of our dinner parties, Vanessa was referred to us to entertain us with her suite of songs and music accomplishments. We were stunned with her repertoire and how she managed to keep us all engaged with her captivating presence without taking away from our dinner conversations. After dinner we couldn’t help ourselves but join in the fun of dance and song. Vanessa ‘s edge made our night, she was sensational and I would most certainly book her again for any of our entertaining evenings.’
Sharon Styman
‘Ryan and I had our wedding recently at the beautiful Koonyum Ranges Retreat.The setting here was of natural beauty, surrounded by green rolling hills, blue skies and amazing views out to Byron Bay.
Ryan and I wanted for our music to reflect our surroundings so choosing Vanessa was the prefect option. We knew she had a fabulous voice and she was perfect to start the day off. It was a perfect way for my guests to start mingling, eating and enjoying themselves.
Vanessa was very accommodating to our needs and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend her for your special day.’
Talei & Ryan
Having a wedding and marrying the person you love is one of the most memorable moments in your life. Music is so important to my Husband and I, so choosing the right person/band to be the soundtrack to our big day was a carefully considered decision.
Vanessa delivered the goods. Vanessa was easy to communicate with and was responsive to our request of learning and performing our wedding dance ( At Last by Etta James). Vanessa bought the funky tunes that had our wedding guests up and dancing the night away. The professionalism of Vanessa was second to none. Guests at our wedding still rave that it was one of the best weddings they have attended. The music, energy and funk that Vanessa bought to our wedding day made this a wedding to remember. I would highly recommend Vanessa for your next event. You won’t be disappointed.’
