Catherine G booked Ruth for their Wedding in London • June 2023
“Ruth sang at our wedding reception on Saturday and she blew us all away with her exceptional talent and incredible voice. Ruth's warmth, confidence and enjoyment shone through and this, along with a brilliant set list, made sure everyone was up and dancing and had the most amazing time! Leading up to the event, Ruth took the time to discuss our ideas and requirements; our guests were a mixture of ages and the set list she produced was perfect, with songs from across the decades that everyone could enjoy. Our guests all commented on how brilliant she was and how much they enjoyed the night. Ruth really made our wedding reception the party that we had hoped for. We feel really lucky to have found her!! ”
Claire S booked Ruth for their event
“Thank you to the brilliant Ruth who brought the house down last night, what an incredible voice, we will see you again very soon.”
Peter E booked Ruth for their event
“I saw Ruth at another venue and thought she would be great for our Bowling Club's Valentines Dance, where our ages are 60 plus. She was very friendly, approachable, easy to book and work with. The evening was a great hit with our members and her singing is spectacular. She has a great selection of songs from the 50's through to the 80's and produced a playlist in advance, so that our DJ knew what to expect. I would have no hesitation in booking her again.”
Colin S booked Ruth for their event
“Ruth is an exceptional talent. A wonderful singer with a terrific rapport with her audience. Highly recommend.”
We will definitely have you back for any future events!
Ashley M booked Ruth for their Wedding in Wiltshire

So many people have said to us how fantastic your performance was and how much they enjoyed the evening.
