TESTIMONIALS

Dear Catherine,

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful singing voice with us at our wedding. You were amazing! It is three years later and still people are talking about you – a fabulous soprano! You sing with ease and beauty. It was a real joy to have you there. We will never forget your professionalism, kindness, and talent. We were so fortunate! Thanks again,

Jennifer & Jakub, Prague, Czech Republic


We hired Catherine Redding to sing at our wedding ceremony.  She blew us away.  I had no background in classical music and had no idea what to be looking for; Catherine's extensive knowledge quickly got to the essence of our needs. 

Catherine is not only gifted with a gorgeous voice, but she also has an ability to translate your needs into a stunning compilation of music for your perfect day.

We were married in a very large outdoor space, and Catherine's voice carried to every crack and cranny of this ridiculously large venue.  Her voice is gorgeous. It was truly a thrill to have her voice sing me down the aisle. 

It was perfect; we guarantee you will not find a better soprano for your wedding day.

Catherine,

Thank you so much for agreeing to sing at our wedding ceremony. Your truly beautiful voice added an extra dimension to our wedding ceremony and made the day even more special for us.   We really appreciated your professionalism and the time you took to go through the music choices we had for each aspect of the ceremony.  All our friends and family complimented your exquisite singing and we will be delighted to recommend you in the future.

Thanks again,

Robert & Sarah, Wicklow, Ireland


Catherine did us the great honour of singing at our wedding. It was an unforgettable experience to hear her rendition of 'Laudate Dominum (Mozart)' and 'Nulla in Mundo Pax Sincero (Vivaldi)' during the service and to leave the church to the tunes of 'Exsultate Jubilate (Mozart)', sung like a nightingale. Many guests complimented her moving singing.

We just want to say a big thank you for helping to make our ceremony even more special to us and for all the help and advice in choosing the music.

Hi Catherine

I just wanted to say a massive 'Thank You' to you for your superb singing at our wedding. The guests raved about you all day and I still hear great comments from everyone I speak to about the wedding. My father was particularly impressed by you which I was thrilled with. Thank you for playing a very special part in our magical day. We thoroughly enjoyed each and every piece you sung and have our DVD to treasure with your beautiful voice to listen to.

Best wishes,

Caroline & Stephen, Dublin, Ireland


We and our family and friends will never forget how enchanting Catherine’s singing was at our wedding.  Her breath taking voice accompanied by a string quartet filled our garden ceremony with beauty and emotion.  I walked down the aisle to Catherine’s touching interpretation of Bellini’s “Ma Rendi pur Contento”.  She also sang Puccini’s “O Mio Babbino Caro” which made us cry as my husband’s Nana used to sing this song once upon a time.  We walked back down the aisle to Catherine and her partner singing Lakme’s “Flower Duet” which was so spectacular it blew everyone away.

Catherine’s voice is stunning and the feeling she injects into each piece she sings is what makes listening to Catherine so wonderful.

I highly recommend her for any special ceremony. Catherine is very professional and thorough.  She helped us decide on the music that best suited us and also recommended the string quartet.   Catherine’s contribution to our wedding was one of the greatest, most unforgettable gifts we received.  Thank you again, Catherine.
