Martha J.
Italian Wedding Singer
Frequently Asked Questions
What do you do?
I am an italian Wedding Singer and Soprano Vocalist. I can be accompanied by a professional keyboard player that can play the sounds of strings or piano, suitable for garden weddings or churches with only an organ. I also provide a full evening’s live music to Weddings, Corporate Events and Private Parties in Italy.
Which areas do you cover and where are you based?
I am based in Milan, Italy. Therefore the majority of my business comes from lake Como (Cernobbio, Bellagio and Varenna), Orta San Giulio, Stresa, Pallanza Verbania and lake Garda. However I am certainly happy to travel all over Italy, subject to travelling expenses.
How do I know if you’re available?
Please use the Contact section to enquire and I promise to get back to you within 48 hours.
How much does this all cost?
Every function is unique, different timings and different requirements. Therefore I quote each wedding/function individually. Please submit an enquiry or send me a mail to find out. There is no obligation once you submit an enquiry.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
To confirm and secure your booking a deposit is required. Please note that at any one time I may have a number of enquiries underway for any given date and therefore your booking is only secure once I receive your deposit and booking form.
Wedding Music Questions
Why is vocal wedding music such a significant part of a wedding ceremony?
Music is said to be the universal language of love, it heightens the emotions and adds romance to your wedding ceremony. Vocal music is the difference between a nice wedding, and an exceptional wedding. An outstanding vocalist always heightens the romantic ambience in the ceremony, music evokes deep emotions, and this treasured experience is a wonderful gift to share with your guests.
How do I choose the music for my ceremony?
First you should speak with your officiant about any musical restrictions they may have. Then remember, this is your special day! Choose songs that you connect with and that hold special meaning to you.
People will always love the classics (i.e. Ave Maria) as a part of their ceremony vocal music because they are timeless and elegant songs. Many couples also want modern songs because they hold special meaning, and would enhance the ceremony experience for them.
If you need help deciding, I would be more than happy to give you some suggestions and work with you to find the perfect songs.
Do ceremony musicians come to the wedding rehearsal to practice?
It is not necessary for me to attend your rehearsal. I have a great deal of experience in performing at weddings and can ensure that everything will run smoothly. If you and your wedding party feel more comfortable rehearsing with the music, I would be glad to attend for an additional fee.
Do you have music to include a harpist, violin or other instrumentalist?
Yes, I offer these musicians for ceremonies I am singing at, and I work with other harpists and soloists often. If you are looking for musicians without a vocalist then I will refer you to my recommended musicians.
I already have a String Quartet, pianist or music ensemble performing for my wedding in Italy, but would like to add a special love song. Are you able to perform with an outside group?
I am happy to coordinate with your group. You can provide me their information and I will contact them personally to coordinate the rehearsal and ceremonial performance details.
I would like to suggest a song that is not on the song list. Can I e-mail you a playlist of songs?
Yes indeed! I encourage you to suggest your favourite songs. It is my goal to give you moments of bespoke musical entertainment, so your input is warmly welcome. Let me know the song title and writer, and I will find the appropriate vocal arrangement.
I would like to speak with the past clients of your Italian weddings. Can you provide references?
I am happy to provide you references upon request.
