Olivia Insignares - Ceremonial Singer

I bring a high caliber of professionalism to all of my vocal work. Punctuality, thorough knowledge of the piece, exceptional tone, and excellent vocal delivery are my primary goals in satisfying any client I work with.

The most requested songs that are asked of me during ceremonial singing are "Ave Maria" or "The Promise", especially for weddings. Usually the family of the bride or groom has a special song in mind that is significant to the family. I can provide my own sheet music and would request a short rehearsal with an accompanist before the performance, to ensure the piece is up to par with the client's expectations.

I can learn any piece of music within a 24hr notice, so I can be hired last minute, if another singer is not able to perform. My prices vary on the duration of time spent at the venue, the difficulty of the music, and what my clients are able to give. I always go above and beyond, at times ending a gig with an "encore" special piece I dedicate to the couple if requested! I love sharing my gift of music with others and I hope I can bring that extra special something to your special event!

I do not require any special technical requirements, all of my own equipment if needed I can bring myself (music stands, lights, sheet music). Microphones would be expected, if in an outdoor gathering.
