GREAT singer, GREAT attitude!

This was our first time having Safia perform at our hotel for one of our evening events.
She did a phenomenal job and you could tell that our guests were enjoying her music and performance.
She also possesses a terrific positive attitude, which is very contagious and makes quite a difference. You could feel her positive energy the moment she walked into our lobby.
Thank you for a great performance and experience!

Amazing Performance!

Safia was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and was happy to accommodate our request of French music since our theme was A Starry Night in Paris. The other musicians and herself were very professional and they were well received by our audience of Senior C-Level HR Executives from Fortune 500 companies. Will definitely keep them in mind for future events!

Captivating, charming, and delightful!

Safia Valines with David Worker "brought the party" to our community's Casino Night fundraiser! The moment they began, every head turned, and we were mesmerized for the rest of the night by their captivating, charming and powerful voices. Safia, on her own, lit up the room with her delightful presence and soul-touching voice. It was as if Safia and David transported 200 people to a live Vegas show, and we’re still talking about it! They sang a wide variety of tunes from Big Band to Vegas Rat Pack all the way through to Uptown Funk! People came to the dance floor and stayed.

Safia and David are an Orlando entertainment treasure, and we can’t wait for them to headline our next event.

Carolers made our holiday party!

The quartet of carolers sang Christmas music for approx. 2 hours for our work holiday luncheon. The venue was not an easy one for performing, as it was a very large space with poor acoustics. The sound system was a must in allowing our employees to hear the singers over the conversation in the room. They were fantastic, a highlight of our event! I will definitely book with Safia for future events.

Exceeded Expectations - and we're an event agency!

Safia Hudson is the perfect combination of pure professionalism and 'knock your socks off' entertainment. Not only is she a SPECTACULAR vocalist who quickly and easily provided a custom entertainment package for our event, she also brought a wealth of knowledge to the table in terms of additional SPECTACULAR event/entertainment resources. Personable, charming and as cute as a button - Safia is so good, my company is considering using her at events outside of Florida and the U.S.. Yes folks, she's that good. Rarely does someone exceed my (President of the agency) expectations as Safia has - and I've done many, many international events in my 25+ years in the biz.

Guest said: "Best Christmas party they ever attended"

There are not enough words to explain how great the carolers were. They were the most friendly and accommodating group of entertainers I have ever had. They were friendly, professional and made everyone feel very comfortable. The voices and harmony in their singing was right of target. Our guest enjoyed the sing along and the songs they sang. All 4 entertainers sang as a team and in sync. Thanks so much for making our Christmas party the hit of the season. God Bless and looking forward to next year. Leon

Great Entertainer!

Safia showed up on time was professional and her singing is amazing she has a wide range of different styles she can perform. She suggested she bring a male singer, Sage as a duet which I originally wasn't keen on because of the additional cost but was totally worth it Our guests were thoroughly impressed with her singing ability. Off the stage she was very kind personable and interesting. When she announced it was her last song there was an audible sigh and my wife rushed the stage and asked her to extend which she graciously agreed. definitely recommend!

Best 50th anniversary party ever

We were lucky enough to have Safia sing at my parent's 50th anniversary party. My parents love opera music as well as Broadway, and Safia was so good that she brought both of them to tears many times. For my mom, that is no surprise, but my dad never tears up for anything. So to see him sitting there with a huge smile and tears streaming down his cheeks showed us all how much he was enjoying the music.

Safia was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional, but also very friendly and went out of her way to do whatever she could to make this as wonderful as possible. And she is an amazing singer with a tremendous vocal range and wide array of vocal abilities. She sings opera with power and passion, but then can switch to Broadway with the ability to mimic the vocal styling from any song.

After the party was over and number of the guests went up to her to get business cards as many of them want to hire her for their future parties.

It's hard to find the perfect gift for a couple that has everything they could want. So we gave them a memory, and it is something my parents will treasure for the rest of their lives.

If you have the chance to hire Safia, take it!!!

We continue to have great success when we add Safia Hudson to an event. she delivers 120% to her performances, leaving the crowd breathless and wanting more! She is like a female Andre Boccelli when she sings her Italian Arias...and everyone feels the goosebumps or a tea lilting from the corners of their eyes.

Simply Amazing

From start to finish Safia was an amazing performer to work with.

Her work the night of the event was even more impressive. She seemed to just draw the crowd of 400 in. Her set list was a perfect mix for the evening and resulted in multiple bursts of applause and her Nessun Dorma performance brought the house to its feet.

She is such a joy and I would highly recommend her to anyone that would ask.

Delightful performance

Safia and friends appeared as part of the 18th annual Mount Dora Music Festival. The performance was very well received by those who were there to hear many of their Broadway favorites.

Wow, just wow!

We booked Safia for our wedding at the Bohemian Hotel, Celebration FL. We are from the UK, so all correspondence was done via e-mail. We booked Safia and her singing partner Sean for a 30 min slot. Safia walked in and was oozing class and elegance before even beginning her performance. Dressed eloquently and extremely well presented. When she began to sing, everybody in the room was just lost within the performance. Beautiful tones and ranges to her voice which were tested by our selection of classic opera, contemporary Italian favourites and other genres. Her choice of partner in Sean was a complete masterstroke too, as she stood back and allowed Sean to rattle out Nessun Dorma in a breathtaking manner. Then the duets were simply out of this world, both Con te Partiro and L'ibiamo ne'lieti calici were performed without fault. We would highly recommend Safia for whatever the occasion. Professional, easy to deal with and extremely talented. A must have.

a beautiful voice

Safia performed for an outdoor charity bocce tournament. As she walked through the crowd singing our attendees were mesmerized by the strength and beauty of her voice. She performed Italian melodies.

We would recommend her for any type of event. She is definitely a professional in both her look and her presentation.

Talent, Beauty, will hire her again and again and again...

Safia was a real delight to work with! From our initial communication to the completion of our Dinner Party,reception she was talented,pleasant, kind, professional, calm, and adaptable. From my experience, Safia was definitely the easiest vendor to communicate with; she is succinct, clear, and no nonsense. During the course of planning we shared countless emails, Safia thoughtfully chose the songs She went above and beyond . I have absolutely no complaints and I highly recommend using SAFIA at your next event! You won't regret it!

The party was in Miami, Safia drove all the way from Orlando to give us more than we paid for, she is better than her promotional videos!..and A BONUS: beautiful young lady!
Very well dressed, the Italian vintage musics and the other musics were superb! She was so sweet to learn Portuguese and sing the girl from Ipanema in Portuguese...and was perfect! Very nice token of appreciation and professionalism. Safia in our opinion is the only good option your website have that will not get the guest sleep on the party table! being a soprano our guess were delighted with " el sole mio" , and Andrea Bocelli song, I look forward to having Safia perform in the future! 5 STARS*****

May Anniversary party in Charleston

We had a very diverse playlist for our family and friends, young and old, R&B and Pop, jazz and classical. We thought we had Nora Jones and Natalie Cole in the house, but that was just the first set. She and Dave got people on the dance floor, and Heather joined for absolutely beautiful duets and keyboard. I wanted Broadway and some classical standards - Safia served it up to perfection (All That Jazz) and a breathtaking Nessun Dorma(?). Who can do all that..? We are still talking about her - it was a Show, not just musical entertainment.
Thank you Safia, Dave & Heather - we will see you again!

Exactly what I ordered!!!

I was in need of a Spanish singer, who was versatile enough to pull off a Pop song with a Bachata flavor. After viewing Safia's reel, I was sold! The versatility she exemplified was AMAZING!
So I hired her, she showed up on time and delivered!!! Will book her again soon!
