Amazing lady I would definitely book again!

5 out of 5

Fransis (Emma) is simply superb! Her videos actually don’t necessarily do her justice as I felt she was even better than what you see online…. She arrived early after some great communication and you get that relaxed vibe from her immediately. She looks the part and was ready to go before the arranged time but was in no rush. Feedback from the entire (70/80 guests) was that her set list, vocals and style was amazing and everyone loved her. Do not hesitate to book Fransis!! She’s great.

Emma performed at our wedding and was not disappointed. Emma arrived super early to familiarise herself with the venue and make sure she was ready to start, and sang all the songs requested. Emma is energetic and enthusiastic which shows in her performance
