Find 114 opera singers in the United States, backed by 202 reviews from real clients and an average rating of 5 out of 5. Most bookings are a single voice with piano accompaniment for a ceremony or a drinks reception, running two or three pieces rather than a full set, with rates starting from about $130 and typical bookings around $450.
A booking usually means the singer arrives an hour before they perform, needs somewhere quiet to warm up, and sings at set points in the schedule rather than performing continuously. Confirm the running order with whoever coordinates the venue, because these slots are short and easy to miss once a day starts to overrun.
Of the 114 suppliers listed here, 17 are based in the United States. The other 97 are willing to travel there.

Woodwind Musicians in United StatesThree practical questions decide how well a booking goes: what the room does to an unamplified voice, what accompaniment the venue can supply, and how far the singer is travelling. Settle those before you confirm and the rest is straightforward.
Stone churches, halls with hard floors and high ceilings carry a trained voice without help, which is why many ceremony bookings need no equipment at all. Marquees, carpeted function rooms and low-ceilinged spaces absorb sound and usually call for amplification, as do outdoor ceremonies where there is nothing for the voice to reflect off. Ask the venue in the United States whether a PA is already installed for speeches, since sharing that is simpler than hiring a second system.
Most singers work with a pianist, and whether the venue has a tuned piano changes the arrangement. Where there is one, ask when it was last tuned. Where there is not, the accompanist brings a digital keyboard and needs a power socket and a small corner of floor. Some performers sing to a backing track instead, which costs less and removes the tuning question, though it fixes the tempo and leaves no room to stretch a piece while a bride walks a long aisle.
Rates for opera singers in the United States range from $130 to $1,150+, with most bookings around $450. Distance is the biggest variable, since a singer travelling two hours for a twenty-minute ceremony prices differently from one performing ten minutes from home. Saturdays through summer and December fill first and carry the least room to negotiate. Booking inside two weeks often costs more rather than less, since the singer has to work rehearsal and travel around a diary already committed elsewhere.
The average price is $450 (USD), with most priced from $130 to $1,150+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Catwalk Opera
"I am delighted to provide a review of soprano Monika Spruch's performance at the Kinship Center fundraising gala held at Club Pasadera in Monterey.
Monika Spruch's performance was absolutely breathtaking! She performed the classic opera piece "Nella Fantasia" with such emotion and grace that it left the entire audience in awe. Her voice was simply captivating, and her stage presence was commanding.
Despite only performing one piece, Monika's performance was the perfect opener for the Kinship Center fundraising gala. She set the tone for the evening with her stunning voice and elegant presence, which was a highlight of the evening and truly set the stage for a successful event.
Overall, I highly recommend Monika Spruch to anyone looking for a talented and captivating soprano for their event. Her performance was truly unforgettable, and her voice added an extra layer of elegance and sophistication to the Kinship Center fundraiser."
