About / Biography

Mark Your Occasion

Bringing charisma, charm and choons to any occasion.

(I’m really, really sorry I said ‘choons’.)

Live Vocalist

So I'll start off with the reason you're here: you're looking for a singer for a wedding/birthday party/corporate do/other event of some sort. Well, I should hope you are, because otherwise you may need to start looking elsewhere. Here's a little more about me:

I'm a singer with experience on both West End and Broadway, having worked internationally on cruise ships and across the Mediterranean. In 2020, I returned to the UK to start my own business, Mark Your Occasion, which combines my background in entertainment with my new calling as a celebrant (but more on that later!)

I now offer live music for all the events I mentioned above, across the entire range of genres (except scream metal and house dance music, ugh!) and from the 40s to the present day. I can offer chilled, background music at a wedding drinks reception, for example, or an upbeat hour (or more!) of end-of-the-night party classics, and everything in between. Whatever the event, and whatever your tastes, I've got you covered – and even if I don't, I'm always happy to learn songs especially for you.

If you want to know more, just holla. I don't bite.

Other Services

Just in case you need more than just a singer for your event, allow me to share what else I do.

I'm a celebrant, which means if you are celebrating a wedding, I can be the one marrying you! (Not in the sense of becoming your husband, obviously! In the sense of being the person to conduct the ceremony!) Celebrant-led wedding ceremonies are truly beautiful and unique, and I'd urge you to consider using one if you don't feel you've quite got the right vibe for your ceremony just yet.

I'm also a master of ceremonies, which incorporates several things such as gameshows (like Mr and Mrs or Family Fortunes), quizzes, and general event hosting – you're talking things like introducing the speakers before the wedding breakfast, hosting awards ceremonies, and even sometimes just telling people when the ideal time would be for them to go to the loo!

My ultimate goal is to help you commemorate the most important moments in your life the way you want to – by ensuring that the ceremony or event is tailored specifically to you, and delivered with charm, wit, and aplomb – and perhaps a dash of music!

Let me Mark Your Occasion!
