# Gilda is an amazing singer and person! I had a million and one questions about songs and when to have her sing them. Gilda new everything and went above and beyond to help prepare. Gilda is tall, striking and simply adorable inside and out. Her musicians and assistant were just as friendly, accommodating and professional as she was. I would highly recommend Gilda for any engagement! -- Annable W, Philadelphia, PA
# As my rating suggests, Gilda is the consummate professional. I had never hired someone to come and sing before, however my experience with Gilda made things extremely easy and added a wonderful touch to my party. Despite a snowstorm on the eve of the event, Gilda kept in touch and did whatever was in her power to get to the party as soon as she was able. Once there, she hit the ground running and turned out an amazing performance. She has a beautiful voice, is stunning in appearance and is an all-around wonderful person who clearly loves what she does. I would hire her again to perform and suggest you do the same. -- Ted B, Upper Darby, PA
# Gilda added a special touch to my friend's wedding. Her performance moved the bride and groom so much that they were on the dance floor dancing by her second song. -- Jennifer G, Edison, NJ
# Gilda's solo performance was amazing and a joy to hear and see. She sang various songs that spoke love, care and committment (exactly what I needed my wife to hear). I would recommend her to anyone interested in hearing a person with a soulful, spiritual and enlightening voice with both comfort and excitement. I plan on recommending her to all my friends, co-workers and business associates. Thanks Gigmasters! Thanks GILDA!! Christopher Bell, M.H.S. Bell Associates -- Christopher B, Philadelphia, PA
# We had a great time and got exactly what we wanted by hiring Gilda with Steve. They can really sing! Their voices were on point and every song seemed to be perfect for them. The entertainment was a dream. While Steve is handsome and Gilda is beautiful,their talent and wonderful personalities top everything. We discussed song requests and outfits before hand and they delivered. I was proud of their professionalism, because they made me look good. I couldn't have asked for anything else. At the end of the night I felt as if I had just scratched the surface, so I will hire them again and again. You can't go wrong with these two. -- Annable W, Voorhees, NJ

# Gilda turned out to be the perfect person/performer for my event. There were a lot of religious people at my event and I was worried whether she would have the appropriate music, but Gilda took care of everything and did a great job in singing a variety of music that was pleasant and delightful to the soul and ears. My guest are still talking about that wonderful and delightful singer. -- Marza W, Greenbelt, MD
# Although as the Bride the day was a bit of a happy blur for me, many guests were raving about Gilda and her partner Steve Colfield long after the celebrations ended. They even came up with some Greek music which made my Greek relatives happy. Her performance of our Special song "The First Time ever I Saw your Face" was beautiful and made my night! Thank you Gilda and Steve! -- Lisa S, Phillipsburg, NJ
# Words cannot express how brilliant Gilda was. Our staff loved her! The person who we honored that afternoon could not stop raving about Gilda. She touched a lot of souls that day as people are still talking about her performance at school this morning. They ranked this as the best end of the year luncheon ever. I believe this was partly due to Gilda's singing tribute to our colleague who is retiring. Thanks again. Carla Coleman -- Carla C, Conshohocken, PA

- Our residents and staff had such a great time listening to Gilda. One of our nursing assistants left her name and number for gilda, she would like for her to sing at her wedding. We plan to have Gilda back here to entertain again. The staff who could only hear her in the hallways asked me after the show asked who she was and commented on her voice. Her style was totally professional. I have already passed her name to other activy professionals. Some of our residents are still carrying her picture this morning. We give her and her acompanist, who was buring the keyboard up 1000 percent!Please tell them we said so. Thank you Gigmasters. -- Patricia H, Mount Laurel, NJ, 2/27/2008
