Testimonials & Reviews
‘Thank you so much for singing at my grand proposal to my girlfriend in the Shard Building. You are an exceptional talent with a silky smooth voice. Your performance definitely added an extra dimension to the occasion that made it PERFECT. Thanks for your professionalism and I will be definitely recommending you to all my friends. Thanks again!’
TAYO O (GROOM-TO-BE / FTSE 100 FINANCE PROFESSIONAL) *****
Annie and her band sang at our wedding in May 2014 and we absolutely loved her. I had scrolled through hundreds of wedding bands who were all the same, uninspiring, and which sounded rather like karaoke. Annie was unique with her incredibly versatile and expressive voice. She sang some fantastic pre-first dance slower, soulful songs, after dinner, and then she powerfully filled the marquee with uptempo tunes for the rest of her set, ensuring the dance floor was packed! She also has an amazing stage presence and looked fabulous in her long silver sequin dress which brought some serious glamour to the wedding. She was very professional both before and after the wedding and was really easy to deal with and helpful in terms of discussing what kind of music we wanted, recommending ideas but also open to ideas that we had. I would book her again in a flash. Thanks and all the best for the future!’
LUCY WEBB (BRIDE) *****
“Mainstage Live helped to make our family reunion so special. We knew exactly what type of music we wanted and the artists from Mainstage Live pulled off every performance. Our whole family is still talking about how amazing the whole event was.”
FRANKIE BOLDA *****
Fearlessly singing with the customers and dancing down the isles. It couldn’t have gone better! ****
QUINN DOVE *****
’Annie! What a voice! What stage presence. She really knew how to rock the crowd. We booked with just one month to go before our Easter 2013 party and Annie helped us sort the music out easily, we will have Miss Annie and the Mainstage showband back again!’
