Catch Up!

Posted on by admin

I have been so busy and I guess my new testimonials prove how busy I have been. Hope you have all been well….

I was in Wales a couple of weeks ago for Tristram & Sara’s wedding day. I travelled down the day before, to meet with the Reverand at the church to have a run through of my songs inside the church. I then set up my equipment in the couple’s main venue which was at Lastra Farm Hotel, where I was going to be staying for the next two nights – http://www.lastra-hotel.com/

The hotel was gorgeous and the staff really welcoming and friendly, by the time I left I think id met them all and they really made me feel so welcome. If you are that neck of the woods do choose visit they will provide you with great food, stay and service.

But back to the wedding! I met the bride and groom the day before and set everything up and sound checked, which was fab because they booked me to perform in the church (their aisle song, three songs whilst signing the register & a song as they leave) as well as after dinner and speeches were made I performed an hours set of smooth songs and then to finish the night I provided complete entertainment of up beat party songs from my party set list, 2 hours worth of hits and by this point I must say the guests were definately ready for a good dance!!!

Infact, the main thing that stands out to me at this point was the groom and his uncle taking their shirts off and placing their ties round their heads to perform a well choreographed dance routine to ‘Im Bringing Sexy Back’ by Justin Timberlake….haha!! It was a unique creation of dance routine and sheer drunken body shaking and thrusting that really showed off their talent as a duo lol 🙂 Tristram if you are reading this I am certain you are laughing and cringing at the same time haha…it was a great night and everyone was on the dancefloor breaking some moves.

But all jokes aside, the church was absolutely stunning….here is a link to the church itself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Eleth’s_Church,_Amlwch beautiful decor inside and the bride and bridesmaids looked absolutely gorgeous, although I did not know the couple personally, by this point I had communicated so much with them leading up to their day that I felt like I actually knew them and the moment was so emotional and special that I found it hard to hold back a couple of tears! I am always a bag of nerves on the inside at this moment as it is their special day and I wanted to do my very best to make sure they were happy….and as you can see from my feedback they provided, I think it is safe to say I have bagged another happy customer. If only I had video footage of this moment to provide to you, there was a photographer who I am hopefully receiving some photographs from to show you all just how stunning the church was and myself performing of course. I performed their requested songs which were Faith Hill – There You’ll Be, Take That – A Million Love Songs, Eva Cassidy – Somewhere Over The Rainbow & Etta James – At Last. Inside the church my voice echoed and created such a beautiful atmosphere it was amazing….if I could do it all over again I really would.

My feedback from the couple: “Jenna, hope you had a safe journey home, myself and Sara Marie Lee could not have made a better choice for our entertainment for our big day yesterday, the church was fantastic, the afternoon was brilliant and the evening was amazing, the feed back I have had during the day and evening was exceptional, both Lastra farm hotel and the vicar made points to tell me how professional you were and how it… was a delight to have worked with you in making our day special. We will never forget out first dance you were perfect. I am absolutely convinced that yesterday will not be the last time we see you in our part of the world as I know for sure we wouldn’t hesitate to book you for any other event in the future!!!”

Reading this makes me smile 🙂 hard work pays off in the end. I love to sing and perform and sitting back and reading feedback like this makes what I do so worth while. Thank you to Tristram and Sara Lee for booking me and huge congratulations as you are now officially husband and wife 🙂
