★★★★★
Lydia really went above and beyond to make sure her set was tailored to us and our event. From the song requests that we asked for, to the phone calls to make sure that she really understood what we wanted, Lydia was great. Her easy atmospheric jazz sound was exactly what we wanted, and her vintage style is amazing. Pure class. Would 100% recommend.

★★★★★
We were lucky enough to enjoy Lydia’s beautiful singing for our wedding reception celebrations. It was the absolute highlight of the evening, our guests were completely blown away and the room fell silent. She approached the whole event with such ease and elegance, just like she was born to do it. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

★★★★★
I booked Lydia for my partner's big birthday party and she was brilliant. She arrived on
time, set up without any fuss, and she looked so cool! Her voice is amazing and she had everyone's attention from the start-not just because she sings beautifully, but also because she's so warm and full of energy. She really helped make the night special. I'd definitely recommend Lydia for any event - she's fab!
