Feedback
- Susan was very professional and fun! We had a great time every time we met her and always accomplished so much! She was very helpful, gave great suggestions and even hummed songs as we tried to pick them out which was very helpful! She was the best part of our wedding and truly made it memorable! -- Samantha W, Wilmington, NC, 9/24/2011
- Susan has a wonderful sweet voice and she made our day trully magical. She is such a sweetheart, very friendly and accomodating with everything! All my guests enjoyed her singing and music. She played a custom song for our first dance that wasn't on her list--and she did a teriffic job doing that! Highly recommend her for your event! -- Inga B, Glenville, PA, 5/10/2008
- Susan gave MAGIC to my Wedding Day. Without her and her music I can honestly say that it would not have been near as special as it was. Her voice is so poetic and people are still talking about how much they enjoyed her. She was wonderful to communicate with and so accomidating. I would recommend her to EVERYONE. In fact, I hope an event comes up again so I can have Susan play. There are just no words for how Wonderful Susan is. Thank you. -- Katie S, Wrightsville, PA, 9/14/2007
- Susan was simply amazing. She has a voice that is beautiful, haunting and timeless. All of the guests were mesmerized by her and she made our event truly outstanding. She was a true professional and also great fun. I highly recommend her to anyone who is having a party or special event. We will definitely be hiring her again. She went above and beyond the call of duty and my husband and I, as well as all of our guests where thrilled with her talent. -- Amanda C, Baltimore, MD, 7/7/2007
- Susan was great, she showed up on time, provided an extra mic that we needed and did an AWESOME job singing the songs that I chose. Even the songs she learned specifically for my wedding were sung beautifully. i would highly recommend Susan Savia -- Beth S, Middletown, MD, 11/1/2008
- Susan played and sang for our members' networking reception. For this entertainer, I received many more than the usual number of compliments. The fact that people are networking, talking and meeting new members, can often be distracting to the entertainer and just as often the members don't notice the singer in the backgroud. It wasn't the case this time. Susan performed well; the audience felt comfortable visiting with each other but I also noted that everyone was also paying attention and enjoying the singing. Her choices were extemely appropriate contributions to make our event a success. Susan was very cooperative and we would definitely engage her again. -- John W, Harrisburg, PA, 10/14/2008
- Susan was wonderful. I had a few offbeat requests, song-wise, and Susan was happy to learn them. During the event, Susan set the mood perfectly. Everyone enjoyed her music. I am so happy I found Susan through gig masters. She is a true gem. -- Lauren D, Woodstock, MD, 9/20/2008
- Susan has a gorgeous voice and an enormously pleasant demeanor. She is the perfect choice for a classy cocktail or dinner party. Numerous guests asked us where we found her and commented on how much they enjoyed having her there. I'd recommend her without hesitation! -- Kim B, Washington, DC, 9/13/2008
- Susan is extremely talented professional. She plays guitar wonderfully and has the most lovely singing voice we have ever heard live. She plays to the crowd and puts on a great show and appearence. Susan was very accommodating for us, playing every tune we wanted to hear. All this and she even writes her own original music! Highly recommend Susan, you will not be disappointed, you will be amazed! Susan is the best in the business. -- Carol N, Littlestown, PA, 6/24/2009
- Our party was a hit because of Susan! She gladly learned a new song and humored us when we wanted to perform an impromptu dance routine to it for the guest of honor. You will not be disappointed with her entertainment, her flexabilty, and her wonderfully warm personality. We hope to hire Susan again. -- Denise K, Greenbelt, MD, 5/29/2009
