Paula C Snyder

We enjoyed our experience and got what we paid for!

If looking for an entertainer who is committed to her craft, I highly recommend Paula Synder. I connected with Paula after conducting a Google search for a singing telegram for our daughter's 40th birthday. We are very, very happy our search put Paula in our path! She was extremely dedicated to making the occasion special and customized to our daughter, which included Paula spending time learning our favorite sports team's fight song. Paula took the time to learn some tidbits about our daughter and our family, which helped Paula personalize the presentation. And once she found out our 3 year-old grandson would be in attendance, added some customization to entertain him as well! The event was a hit for our daughter and family, and met my goal of creating a unique, special memory for a 40th milestone.

Paula is just a well-rounded, dedicated and professional entertainer who I highly recommend.

Paula came to sing for my husband’s mom’s 90th birthday. It was a surprise for her. We picked songs from year was born, high school, year married and other meaningful ones. She loved it! His mom sang along with some, brought back lovely memories! Paula was incredibly organized, detailed, pleasant, energetic, helpful and all around wonderful!

Paula provided a "musical telegram" for my son's birthday. She did a great job of personalizing her performance to match my description of my son and the musical experience I wanted for him. She went beyond expectations, and even wrote up my message on a nice note card to present to my son. I highly recommend Paula! My work with her on this mini project was fun and rewarding!

Paula is a very nice and talented and loves to do music!
She sings beautiful and I am very happy with how professional everything went.

Thank you!

Paula Snyder took the stage on the the cruise ship American Queen Navigator and delighted a room full of passengers. Her selection of popular music and her own compositions was ideal. Add to that her beautiful voice and style and you have an evening outstanding entertainment.

Paula provided entertainment at my parents’ 67th wedding anniversary and did just a fabulous job! She collaborated with me on a perfect play list and even learned a few new songs in short order that were special to my parents. Everyone at the event thoroughly enjoyed her music! Her communication and planning prior to the event was outstanding as well. Thank you, Paula, for making this an anniversary to remember for my folks!

We surprised our best friend for her 50th. Paula showed up on time and sang the requested songs. Paula even went the extra step and learned a song for her. It was a special and memorable moment and we couldn’t have done it without Paula’s help. Super talented and sounds lovely. Thank u Paula for achieving this goal for our friends. Will definitely use you again.

We reached out to Paula to create and sing
a personalized 50th birthday for our friend. Paula took our engagement and delivered beyond our wildest expectations! She was a true partner every step of the way, from selecting songs to work for our rock birthday theme, to creating a beautiful keepsake with the lyrics and including some of our favorite photos. The birthday boy was so touched by the effort and personalization; he keeps reading and rereading the lyrics and picking up on something else. I highly recommend Paula!

What a special treat for my husband. Paula not only is an amazing talent - she is professional, a great communicator and made sure everything was as I wanted to surprise my husband with a singing telegram. He loved it! Paula went above and beyond to make my anniversary songs special to both my husband and me.

Paula was fantastic every step of the way! From the beginning she was very professional, communicated very well and worked with me to create the best experience possible. I worked with Paula to come to our house and sing to my wife as a surprise for her birthday. Paula worked me to create a great playlist, she was right on time and the performance was exactly what I hoped for and more. My wife was surprised and loved it!

Paula was very thorough in finding out as much as possible about the interests of the birthday girl. She was very good in keeping me informed and asking if I needed anything more from her. I gave a somewhat complex set of instructions and she had no trouble taking charge from there. I am incredible pleased and wish she could travel to NYC for another niece's birthday!

Paula's superb performance of over a dozen of our favorite love songs and ballads help make this a very special celebration during this most difficult of times. Quite happy with everything, and as I said in my thank you card to her, "I knew when I decided to enlist her sweet voice, and now know with conviction that I made the right choice." Many thanks for some great memories!

Paula was great! We were especially impressed with her communication, she was always on top of messages.
We were also thankful for her guidance and ideas. This was the first time we have surprised someone with a personalized singing performance. Paula presented great options to make everything perfect!

Working with Paula was amazing, after a few emails we spoke on the phone. She created an amazing poem for my wife that summed up almost everything from my 16 years of marriage. She did this by me simply telling her a summarized story about my life and answering a few questions. This poem almost brought tears to my eyes. Thanks Paula , simply amazing.

I hired Paula to serenade my neighbors as a social distancing going away gift! She came on a Saturday morning at 8:15 bundled up with her guitar and a beautiful voice. my neighbors were so touched it was a wonderful experience I cannot recommend her enough.

Paula was a gem to work with. Her performance was not only customized to the occasion, but to my husband’s life. This will be a cherished memory for years to come.

Paula was wonderful to work with!!! She went above and beyond from corresponding via calls and texts to letting me hear the songs she would sing because I would not be present at the time of the scheduled call. She helped make my Me-maw's 99th birthday a great one with a personalized concert over the phone. Thank you for helping make my Me-maw's celebration one of a kind.

Paula was the consulate professional who made our parents socially distanced 77th birthday celebration an absolute success! She was easy to collaborate with, very responsive to all communication, and perfectly on time. She prepared every song we requested and was lovely to listen to and to work with on this surprise! We absolutely would recommend her to anyone looking for something different and special! She has a lovely voice! Thanks so much Paula and Gig Salad!

Wow! Paula went above and beyond. I worked with her to do a Birthday serenade for my Mom's Birthday that we would schedule on a family Zoom call. It was a big hit and livened up the birthday in this time we couldn't be together in person. She collected likes, info about my mom from both myself and my siblings and the songs were custom tailored to her. Everyone loved it!! I highly recommend Paula's serenade to make your nexts family birthday celebration special :)

We booked Paula to do a surprise performance for my parent's 50th anniversary, and she was wonderful! From the beginning, Paula was extremely responsive, had great ideas and was also very open to doing whatever I wanted with regard to songs, etc. On-site, Paula performed beautifully, was very engaging with my parents and my 2 year old niece, and really made it a special experience. I highly recommend her!

Paula was fantastic. She was prompt at putting everything together for the event. She put a lot of extra touches in to it. She is very knowledgeable about all types of music and very talented.

Paula was very good to work with. She took great care to personalize my event, and she was very timely with her communication. She went out of her way to make things work well.

Great quarantine birthday gift!

It's clear that Paula put in a ton of work to prepare and customize the performance, resulting in a really fun and memorable experience for us.

I asked Paula to put together a short list of songs to play for my younger brothers birthday since we are all in isolation this year. She did such an amazing job and even played "you'll never walk alone" which is one of our favorites being Liverpool fan's who lived in Liverpool in our Childhood. My brother said she was very friendly and professional and did a wonderful job and sounded GREAT! Thank you Paula for putting such a wonderful birthday surprise together for my brother with little time to prepare ! We really appreciate your effort and hard work!!!!!!

Paula was so easy to work with! She communicated all details well in advance and accommodated all of our needs. We would definitely use her again if an occasion arises. I highly recommend her!

Paula went above and beyond to ensure a personal poem was presented and organized directly with the venue to present the best performance. She is wonderfully organized, professional and has excellent attention to detail. She made our event an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend.

Paula did a great job putting together a private romantic evening for my wife. Would hire her again.

Paula Snyder is a great performer and my participants loved her music choices. They knew all the songs she performed and enjoyed every minute of it!!

My sister's 70th birthday occurred in July, 2019 and my other sister and I wanted to do something really special to mark the occasion. Fortunately gig salad guided us to Paula Snyder. Paula is an accomplished musician who went far beyond anything I expected to make Marian's 70th birthday an especially memorable occasion. Paula stayed in close and constant contact with us to insure she had all the details of Marian's life correct and then incorporated them in a :45 performance that was the highlight of the day. I cannot say enough for the effort and attention Paula incorporated into the planning of the performance. Even though she had two other performances prior to arriving at Marian's home, her work in setting up the performance made me feel the birthday gig was the only one she had to plan for! All in all, just a wonderful experience for all involved. I can recommend Paula and her due diligence and performance standards with no hesitation to anyone looking for a first class musical artist who works diligently to create a memorable experience for her clients.

I found Paula on GigSalad and was pleasantly surprised that she had an interest in my event and wanted to make sure she pleased the guest of honor and the entire crowd. She did just that, she went above and beyond in getting details on the guest of honor, she was organized, timely, and put on a great show for all. I would recommend Paula to anyone that is looking for that special presentation, she goes above and beyond. Thank you, Paula Snyder!

Incredible! Very easy to relate. Catches on hastily!

Paula went beyond the call of duty by learning specific song for my event. Her vast repertoire offered exactly what I wanted. She complied with all my requests, was on time, pleased the crowd, and left event without major disruption. Would hire her again, for sure!

Paula was great to work with. She was flexible and compassionate about working with the terminally ill friend we hired her to sing for. They felt loved. She is a very conscientious person.

Paula entertained us with Veteran’s Day songs and other sing-a-long favorites. Very appropriate song selection and excellent rapport with the audience.

Paula was so thorough with me directly while we were planning our event! The residents enjoyed her very much and I'm looking forward to working with her again in the future!

My aunts surprise 65th birthday party was out of state from a group of us. We wanted to send something from all of us since we couldn’t be there. I didn’t want the standard flowers or fruit so I thought of a singing telegram. This was beyond a singing telegram. There wasn’t much time due to my procrastination but Paula put together a program that was super special! My aunt and all the guests were so entertained! She was so happy!
I would absolutely hire Paula again!

Paula was fantastic! A real pleasure to work with and a simply beautiful voice with range to work in just about any music genre.

Paula was so prompt in responding to my first request to send my brother-in-law a singing telegram in honor of his retirement. Not only did she plan and execute the whole thing with only 48 hrs. notice, she was so accommodating and professional with my whole family. She was a joy!

I contacted Paula less than a week before my brother's 75th birthday, with the hopes of surprising him with some music at his home in Raleigh, N.C. Paula checked her schedule, found she had an opening that day, and immediately began preparations. Her attention to detail and enthusiasm combined to create appropriate celebration music, and a tailored poem. She was thoughtful and considerate, and professional, which all made for an excellent, memorable performance. Glad I was able to make a connection with her.

Paula went above and beyond my expectations to create a very personal and heart warming birthday surprise. She was attentive, punctual, extremely detail oriented, adaptable, and sings beautifully! Wonderful experience, thank you Paula.

I could not be happier with Paula. I contacted her on relatively short notice to seremade, if you will my wife on our anniversary at her work, let me just say Paula was amazing. She took a lot of time with me to find the perfect songs to sing,she did an absolutely amazing performance for Kerry and even called me after to wish us a happy anniversary. Paula is a class act. Her talent and passion for what she does is unmatched. I would recommend her without a second thought. She made a beautiful lasting memory for us, and I could not be more grateful!

The song list Paula prepared was very appropriate for the residents to hear familiar songs and even sing along. Her performance was enjoyed by all and they requested another performance before she had even left the building. We will definitely have Paula back for another show!

Paula did a wonderful job for me. I had her sing a love song to my girlfriend at work, and Paula even offered to write a custom poem using some of the highlights from our relationship. I literally couldnt have asked for more.
Then to top it off, Paula was involved in a car accident on the way to her performance... but somehow she managed to find a ride and still get there the same day to make sure it went according to plan.
It doesnt get more professional than that, you just dont find service and dedication like that anywhere anymore. I was extremely happy, and so was the girlfriend. It was perfect.

Paula was AWESOME. We contacted her during the week of our event and she still managed to write INCREDIBLE verses all about my mother and sing some of my mother's favorite songs. She is diligent, competent, entertaining, extremely talented as a pianist, guitarist, singer and writer, and she made my Mother's 80th birthday EXTRA special. Her fees were more than reasonable. It was just an AMAZING experience and we would recommend her very highly! Thanks again Paula for a memorable experience!

Paula recently played the piano and sung at a 90th birthday party for my grandmother. She was truly a delight to work with, had a very impressive repertoire and did a wonderful job entertaining the crowd consisting of people of all ages - dancing toddlers to humming and toe tapping senior citizens singing along with her. Paula has a beautiful voice and kept everyone thoroughly engaged for more than an hour. She absolutely made our special event even more special with her beuatiful singing and music. Paula really had a wonderful sense of the crowd and kept everyone thoroughly engaged and entertained. She went above and beyond to take requests from Broadway and other genres, and played all of our favorites. She is clearly a very talented musician and vocalist. I would highly recommend Paula without hesitation for any event where you wish to have wonderful music and great entertainement with guests of any age!
