Singing for our wedding

Vanessa was prompt and early for the ceremony. Unfortunately the waves and wind were loud and she had to compete with the elements so it was hard to hear her sing and play the ukulele

Choose venue and performer accordingly

I think Vanessa is a tremendously talented singer and guitarist. Unfortunately for our event (small, just 4 of us) I had selected an ocean side/beach venue. The waves were pretty loud and we could barely hear either the guitar or the vocals for pretty much the entire performance (~1.5 hours). Not sure what could have been done different to be more audible but maybe an amplifier/speaker would've helped. Otherwise, I think Vanessa would've been fabulous indoors.

Thank you for your review. I would've brought an amplifier, however, your location on the beach was very far and difficult to get to from the parking lot. I definitely think a more convenient and tranquil location would've been more suitable. I enjoyed singing for your celebration. Mahalo!

Beautiful experience

Vanessa was wonderful!!!! She arrived at our beach wedding before we did. The songs she sang were beautiful. Her voice is sweet and pure. She was a beautiful addition to our ceremony. Malalo nui loa Vanessa! You made our ceremony so beautiful.
