"Zoe was perfect. She was extremely helpful from the prep to the day of the wedding. We asked for so many different songs, from Game of Thrones to You've Got a Friend in Me. She was really responsive and very professional throughout the entire time. Everyone praised her on the day and there were many tears as Claire walked down the aisle, she helped create the perfect atmosphere. I have already recommended her to my sister who is getting married year."

When booking Classical Soloists:

Many instrumental classical soloists will be happy to perform acoustically, depending on the setting, but you should always consult with your musician in advance. The factors that will influence this will be things like the size of the crowd and whether the performance space is indoors or outside.

Each classical soloist will be proficient in a different instrument, and so careful attention should be paid to each act's promotional materials, to make sure you select someone that plays the style of music you are after.

About a Classical soloist's repertoire

Classical soloists (singers in particular) will be able to perform a whole host of musical styles, but will have a wide selection of classical pieces, from Schubert to Bocelli. They will usually also have a selection of popular hits, rearranged in a more classical style, as well as having a repertoire of jazz numbers and even musical theatre. If they play an instrument, this may also include film scores and traditional music.

If you are looking to have your musician perform a particular piece (while you walk down the aisle for example!) then it is always best to get your request in as quickly as possible. Depending on the style, it may take time to rearrange the piece in a classical style, as well as the usual time for rehearsal. Some musicians will also be prepared to record a small snippet of their version in advance, in order to help facilitate your decision.
