Review by JeanAnn H.

FuneralReviewed on March 14, 2014From Sparta, IL

Ashley was "just super" -- the consummate professional. She was cooperative in every way -- from the selection of music to her attire. Although she "oozes" talent and has a big, lush, controlled, gorgeous voice, she NEVER assumed the attitude of a difficult diva. She was a joy & a pleasure to work with, and I would hire her again in a second. I have received many, many compliments concerning her performance. She definitely added excellence and class to the occasion. HER PERFORMANCE WAS A GIFT TO ALL WHO HEARD IT !!!!!! Jean Ann

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on December 16, 2013From Kansas City, MO

Ashley is the ultimate professional and I would rehire her in the future and recommend her to others.

WeddingReviewed on November 3, 2007From Seattle, WA

We enjoyed having Ashley perform at our daughters wedding. She has a wonderful voice and is very accommodating when asked to sing special songs. Even though we knew that her singing passion is for Opera she certainly can sing a ballad with heart and soul. We thank you Ashley! Kathy & John Pierce
