Voice so Pure

So I was expecting her to hit super high notes and go crazy loud with the song I choose for my wedding. When she saw the setup (the mood was more like a candle lit dinner) the way she took the song and blended it into the background of my ceremony was perfect, she sounded like an angel singing down from the heavens. I so appreciate an artist that can analyze a situation and adjust. I would recommend her for all live singing events.

A beautiful performance for our wedding ceremony

Mara is a must book! She provided beautiful vocals for our wedding ceremony, including my walk down the aisle, accompanied by the talented Rose on acoustic guitar. We provided Mara with a list of songs we loved and left the rest to her- with that she created beautiful musical stylings/renditions that made our ceremony so special. Our guests were enamored and could not stop talking about our wedding performers and neither could we!
