She performed for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and did so with distinction. Not only did she learn new pieces especially for us, but she also handled the venue’s paperwork at short notice. From start to finish, Matilde was an absolute joy to work with—professional, friendly, and always with a smile. Her singing and playing were beautiful, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of each moment. We cannot recommend Matilde enough. Thank you, Matilde, for your wonderful contribution to our special day!"

Many singer / songwriters offer custom songwriting services, creating an original song for a wedding, anniversary, corporate event or special occasion. This makes a unique and memorable gift or centrepiece for the celebration. Gig Heaven recommends contacting the artist well in advance for custom commissions.
