TOTAL STAR

Please, please, please hire Sapphira. I wish I have already started recommending her to all my friends. She's talented, funny, intelligent, and just a fun time. Our event was a tough crowd, and she had a bunch of tech bros chanting "tip your queen" within minutes. DO NO MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO HIRE HER!!!

Increible and accommodating performer

Saphira was amazing, I hired her for a small bachelors/bachelorette party. She worked with me planning little tailored elements of the show. Was super engaging, energetic and captivating during her performance. Everyone at the party was mesmerized. I couldn't recommend her enough. She's worth every cent and more!

Go All-In

If you’ve read this far on Saphirra’s page & still aren’t sure whether or not to pull the trigger, JUST DO IT!! Best addition to a party, hands-down. I asked for a bit of lip singing, a bit of live & a “competition” of sorts. All was delivered & we even got a bonus opera performance from the amazing balcony our house had. 10/10 would recommend. Communication was great, flexibility was great & style/flare is second to no one.

Sapphira, please come back & hang w us again! (And sorry we made you sweat outside.)

OUTSTANDING! HANDS DOWN EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMER!

Sapphira Cristal made my Birthday Brunch one of the most special days of my life.
Along with her impeccable professionalism and ability to read a room to serve exactly what my party and guests needed, she is a TRUE TALENT. Sapphira truly brought it.
Punctual, energetic, beautiful, funny, and talented from vocals to moves, she checks all the boxes.
Above all, she mingles and connects you which told me right then and there, she isn't just an 'act'. She is a classically trained performer in every way and a kind and decent person. In a room filled with love Sapphira brings a vibe that fits right in. Her opera brought down the house and moved everyone. She drove all the way from Philly to Bergen County and brought the energy we needed.
Hands Down, hiring Sapphira Cristal was the BEST decision I made to take my event to the next level. Everyone loved her.
So will you.

Bday party for group of 5

The best thing I did was select and book Sapphira Cristal for a virtual birthday event. She was amazing and did an awesome job. We saw her opera skills and her amazing show specialized and tailored for my next friend. We jumped around between PG friendly until the birthday girl said “I’m okay with you doing a non PG show. We had a great time singing and dancing and participating in activities. Awesome awesome skill and talent….thank you ! So memorable.

Britnys bridal shower

Sapphire Cristal is by far one of the most professional and exceptional performers. My family was so happy especially my daughter. . I received so many phone calls the following day mentioning how wonderful the drag queens performance was. It was literally the highlight of the event. From the moment Sapphire walked in the energy was amazing, honestly this person is a beautiful soul inside and out 😉 I am so thankful beyond words. If you are looking to have an event and want entertainment this is the person you should hire . It really was amazing.

Such a fabulous performance!

I hired Saffira for a ladies only outdoor 60th birthday party. This was one of the most fun, different, and fabulous things I've ever done. Saphirra was professional and personable from start to finish, and although our crowd was small (24 people) she performed as though she was on a big NYC stage. Her costumes and staging extras were amazing. Her Diana Ross and Whitney Houston were incredible. I highly recommend that you hire Saphirra for your event. You will be amazed and impressed.

A voice & a heart

Sapphira was a pure joy to behold. We booked her to perform for Mom's 98th birthday. Mom was a soprano & music teacher. She has Alzheimer's Disease so music memory is important. Sapphira gave a command performance for the ages and Mom loved every moment! My husband admitted that he never had an appreciation for opera until he heard Sapphira's dynamic voice and 6 octave range. Just glorious!

Fabulous performance for virtual birthday party!

Booked Sapphira for a virtual birthday party and she was incredible! She's a very talented vocalist, an amazing performer and super funny - even through the computer screen, she made us feel like it was a real night out. Highly recommend her for any event and hope to have a reason to book her again soon.

A professional, sparkling gem of a queen!

So much to rave about Ms. Sapphira Crystal! She's courteous, professional, communicative, friendly, gorgeous and multi-talented! She arrived early, looked flawless And sang! And not just any singing - she is a trained and incredible opera singer so "Happy Birthday" was belted out like never before. The surprise was very much appreciated by our birthday girl boss and team of 15. From her friendly introduction via GigSalad, to our final goodbye as the party finished, Sapphira was gracious and entertaining! Thank you so much for making today so memorable - you have officially set the bar for office birthday parties off the charts! :)

Sapphira is the ultimate queen!

We hired Sapphira Cristal to entertain at a friend's birthday party. Sapphira exhibited the utmost in professionalism throughout the whole process from planning the event to the day of. Sapphira is also unbelievably talented, having a flair for all musical genres from Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Ross and has a lovely operatic natural voice. We welcome any further opportunity to use Sapphira for other events.
