December 26, 2016Dr. Wanda was excellent. Our congregation immensely enjoyed her performance, presence, and phenomenal gift. She has an instrument (voice) that stirs the soul and draws the listener into her gift. We are looking forward to her providing a full concert for our congregation next year.

December 14, 2016Its been almost a year since we called on Wanda to sing for my grandmother dying in hospice. It was very short notice but Wanda answered the call immediately and drove ober an hour to sing for her in her last moments. My grandmother was always a hige fan of the operas and this, this made her year and brought tears of joy to all of our eyes. Wanda sang effortlessly but with soul, she was kind ams very well presented, id hire her again in a heartbeat. Not only did she go out of her way to bring one last huge smile to my grandmothers face, she has since checked in with us later down the road to see how we are doing. She is the best!!

January 26, 2015Even months after my Mother's funeral service ,people were still talking about what beautiful service it was. My mother had been a Pastor's wife for sixty-one years . She deserved to have someone like Wanda sing at her service. Amazing Wanda. Thank you. I will always have beautiful memories of my Mother's service , thanks to you
