She was just a lovely addition to our formal cocktail party! A true talented professional! She played beautiful traditional Christmas music for our holiday cocktail party! She was great at communicating with us, even prior to us booking her. She wanted to know exactly what our wants and desires were, and she made sure she satisfied our wishes. A very pleasant and classy touch to our evening was had. We would highly recommend everyone to hire her to add that elegant and sophisticated touch of class to your event."

Roger Terrell – Heart and Soul Music
"Owner Charlie here from Spookie Bar & Grill and Scream Dream Castle Entertainment. Roger delivered a super, great show that kept the crowd moving with beach music, soul, and rock classics. The bar manager told me he loved the energy and variety, and our security guard — a huge Bon Jovi and Led Zeppelin fan — said Roger nailed it. Roger even entertained guests waiting in line for the largest haunted house in the Carolinas and made everyone feel like part of the party."
Iryna
"We listened to Iryna playing at The Woodward in Geneva, and she was absolutely wonderful. Her music was so elegant and emotional, and it created the perfect atmosphere for the evening.
You could really feel her passion for the music. It was a pleasure to listen to her and definitely one of the highlights of our stay."
