Review for Wedding, July 17, 2010

"Danielle made our daughter's wedding something memorable for all. In fact, after the wedding several guests stated that they have to go see the Phantom of the Opera after Danielle's "Think of Me." Danielle helped with all stages of the planning and also was able to give wonderful suggestions for song selection and also communicated with the musicians. I would highly recommend her." Regards,

Review for Wedding, Saturday June 6, 2009

"Danielle has a wonderful voice and it was truly a delight working with her. Being an 'out of town' bride I was very worried about our ceremony music falling into place but Danielle worked with me and my organist to ensure that our music would turn out stunningly. She took the time to meet with me when I was in town and took it upon herself to meet with my organist when I couldn't be there. She is an extremely talented and mature young woman. I trusted her to do a great job and she truly did. She sings like an angel and isn't the least bit afraid to show her talent to anyone who might want to hear her gift.

Thank you so much Danielle for being a part of our day and being such an accommodating vocalist to work with. I highly recommend your services to other 'brides to be.' Take care and best of luck."

-Amanda and Dave Zaccaria

From review of Wedding ~ 7/08 "If you're lucky enough to find Danielle available on your wedding day, she will sing her heart out and make your ceremony one that will not be forgotten. She has amazing style, range and dynamics that captivated us, our families and our friends; making our wedding a truly beautiful event. I can tell you that her performance at our ceremony was nothing short of heavenly. "

• Danielle was great! Her voice was beautiful and her talent was exactly what I envisioned for our special day! I know guests were crying when she sang the Ave Maria...it was beautiful! We were very impressed and satisfied. She also helped me with suggestions for music, and since I have never been planned a wedding ceremony before, her advice came in handy. Danielle is a great soloist and we highly recommend her! Tatiana and Christian Amico 7/10/10! -- Tatiana S, Buffalo, NY, 7/10/2010
• A beautiful and young bright star, aims to please for your song choices. Everyone at my party enjoyed her performance, a few even would like to hire her for some of their up coming events. Good Job Danielle with your future endevours. Yvonne A -- Yvonne A, Hamilton, ON, 3/20/2008
