We absolutely loved her voice and knew she would be the ideal singer for our Christmas wedding
The very first time we heard Gemma Ashley sing, she performed "In the Arms of an Angel" on a YouTube channel. We absolutely loved her voice and knew she would be the ideal singer for our Christmas wedding in 2022, and we were so fortunate that our wedding date suited her diary. Little did we know, then, that Gemma would - in a metaphorical sense - come to provide those very angelic, reassuring arms for us on our wedding day, as we were faced with a number of unexpected challenges (including train strikes, snow chaos, and traffic delays). It all added to the stresses of the day, particularly for the bridal party, who were not sure they would even make it to wedding in time. However, the moment we entered the Church and were met by Gemma's soaring aria as she performed her opening song to the Groom ("Nella Fantasia"), any worries and anxieties magically disappeared. Instead, a wonderful sense of calm and serenity descended - like arms of an angel - where Gemma's song, accompanied on the piano by amazing Paolo Freitas, literally transported us to a breathtakingly beautiful, almost etheral, space in time. From that point, everything fell into place, and Gemma became our guiding light and steadfast beacon for the rest of the day and evening. Not only was she our amazing soprano for our wedding ceremony, singing five songs in four different languages (Italian, Latin, Portuguese and English!), but she single-handedly provided the full musical entertainment for our wedding reception, covering everything from Depeche Mode to Abba - and even led the wedding party in a surprise Les Miserables flash mob! We are indebted to Gemma for making our wedding day the huge and unforgettable success that it was; her work ethic and professionalism is second to none, and her warmth, great sense of humour and generosity of spirit is something we will never forget. We feel we did not just hire a singer for our special day, but a true artist who engaged everyone with her presence and creative performance, and who has become a friend for life. We cannot recommend Gemma enough. She will bring joy and light and life-time memories to any special events, giving 110% until the very moment the lights go out for the night. Perhaps the greatest testament to the lasting effect that Gemma had on our wedding day was when the Priest himself leaned over and whispered to us during the ceremony: "Where did you find this singer? She is fantastic." We would only like to add that choosing this lovely young woman to sing at our wedding, and at the reception, was one of the best, if not the best, decision, that we made when arranging our wedding. Thank you so much, Gemma. We love you xxx. (10 / 10)

Funeral
From the first contact with Gemma she was very professional, friendly and listened to what we required. She was able to provide exactly what we wanted in terms of song choice. She made all the arrangements with the church organist, and at a time that was quite stressful we did not need to worry about the music for my father's funeral. She arrived promptly on the day, was very discreet in setting up her equipment and in speaking with the organist and church warden. She has an exceptional voice and sung so beautifully. So many people afterwards commented on her singing. Our family was very pleased and would like to thank her again for adding such an important element to our father's funeral. We highly recommend her in every respect. Thank you Gemma, best wishes from Pauline and the Trim family

Fundraising Event
Gemma sang for us at a fundraising event concert in our church.I found Gemma very professional,friendly & reliable.The event was called " Magic of the Musicals " & that was certainly what we received. Gemma's singing was confident, emotional ,clear & absolutely beautiful. The programme contained a good mix of of songs from musicals old & new. I would certainly recommend Gemma (plus her friend ,Tenor Joey Dexter) for any event when only a first class entertainer will do !

Wedding Ceremony
Gemma was fantastic. Every one in the church at my Daughter's Wedding Day was amazed to this wonderful gift that I gave her and her husband on their wedding day, such a beautiful voice that she produced and to most people as we heard on the day were amazed to see Gemma sing as she expressed herself with heartfelt meaning. My daughter and her husband were so emotional and it was their highlight of the day. They would like to thank Gemma so much for making this happen and being so special to them, I would also like to add that she was so discreet and when she appeared it was so very touching and amazing. She is a true Legend and would definitely recommend her. A Big Thank you Gemma, you are a true star.
