"Highly recommended! We had a party of around 25 people at home and this just brought the best vibes and atmosphere!"

"Miriam was very punctual and knew where to be and what to do. I did not have to organize anything. She was very professional and her voice is angelic. Not too loud just on point. Not a single wrong tone. We talked afterwards and she was so kind and modest. She sang one of my favourite songs from the past and knew every word by heart. "
