Jayne Darling lived up to her name when she entertained us at our 40th wedding anniversary. So professional with a musical voice that moved many to tears on more than one occasion during the night. She sounded good and by golly she looks good too. As it was a 1940 themed party, the lighting provided by her made it feel as if we were back in the 40s. I have been asked by many how I know her and where she is based, she proved so popular. Thank you Jayne for making our party so special, none else could of done that..hope to book you for our Golden.xxxx

Jayne was just incredible… from the moment we booked with Jayne we knew we were going to have an amazing addition to our wedding. Not only does she have a beautiful voice, her appearance was perfect and she just had a beautiful soul. She learnt and performed songs from outside her normal repotoire that were sentimental to us and did them more than justice. Thank you so much Jayne you made our day practically perfect xx
