Janet Villas

A singer with an extraordinary range of styles: a classical opera soprano with New York City Opera for 19 years, raised on classic rock and pop! Comfortable with any style of church music, from Roman Catholic liturgy, to Episcopalian to folk and spirituals. A quick learner with a good ear for jazz or modern music. I'm available for weddings, funerals, celebrations, dinners and can get together a combo for dinner music. I also am a regular National anthem singer for the Mets, Devils and minor league baseball's NJ Jackals, with over 25 appearances.

• Janet was unbelievable. She arrived to my event early and set up without anyone even knowing she was there. When she sang to my mother there was not a dry eye in the house. My mother left the party in awe of Janet's voice. Everyone complimented me and mentioned how fabulous she was. -- Nancy L, White Plains, NY, 9/23/2007
• This talented and lovely lady "made" my birthday party. She came with keyboard player and bass. Music was just what I had asked for and perfect in every way. All my guests were raving about her music. She has a lovely, lovely voice. My party would have been a "dud" without her!!! I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Wish I had another party in mind so I could re-hire her!!! Susan Doerner -- Susan D, River Vale, NJ, 12/8/2007
• Janet Villas has an amazing voice, she is very quick to respond to e-mails and is extremely helpful and knowledgeable with song selection and overall wedding planning. I would recommend Janet to everyone I know and love and any new bride I meet, she alone made my wedding ceremony beyond perfect. I would love to have another "party" just to have Janet there again. Janet was an amazing part of my wedding ceremony and I will never forget her and I will definatly work with her again. Thank you to GigMaster for bringing us together-I never would have had Janet's beautiful voice & spirit at my wedding ceremony otherwise.

• Janet is gracious, accommodating and very professional. She became part of the celebration as she played requests, let guests join in the singing and listened courteously to friends roasting me the hostess. Everyone enjoyed her music. I thank her for helping to make my birthday party a success. And "a good time was had by all." -- Dolores A, River Vale, NJ, 12/13/2008
• Janet was a delight to work with! We appreciated the special attention she gave to our son's christening; she and Jim Jason even rehearsed a special song to make the occasion all the more memorable! I would recommend them highly to anyone looking for something elegant and unique by way of entertainment. Janet and Jim made our son's christening a classy event! -- Hollie G, Edison, NJ, 1/21/2007
