Laura Hourihane

This weekend we had the perfect wedding made complete with Francesca's magic !! Everyone loved every minute and it wouldn’t have been the same without you. Not only do I have the worst organisation and communication skills you took everything in your stride and put up with me. I can honestly say that I couldn’t recommend you enough, not only am I thanking you on behalf of me and Shane Hourihane but everybody that joined us yesterday ! We were all thoroughly entertained and your voice is beautiful !!

I was very particular about the entertainment I wanted for my wedding day, I am a massive fan of Motown and soul music ( thanks dad) and knew that was the genre I wanted at my wedding and I couldn’t rate Francesca highly enough. Her voice is truly spectacular and I had so many compliments from my guests about the singer at my wedding, so much so, my best friend booked her too! Your wedding day is the most important day in your life and you want everything to be perfect, for my husband and I, entertainment throughout our day was one of the most important part of our wedding and we were blown away by her voice. Francesca works with you on what songs you would like, she was extremely professional and friendly from start to finish- what a voice. Thanks for helping make my day even more special.

Franchesqua has performed many, many times at a venue I book entertainment for. She is the consummate professional, a very talented young lady with an amazing voice. It has already been said in another review, “she reads the audience.” I couldn’t agree more, she has an infectious enthusiasm when performing and her audiences can’t help themselves but to flood on to the dance floor. I would not hesitate in recommending Francesca to anyone for private or corporate events. She recently performed at a friend’s Wedding after they came to me looking for a suitable solo artist for; before, during and after the Ceremony. They were not disappointed! Be warned though, book her soon, before she disappears beyond reach, in to the Big Time! She recently announced details of her first UK tour.

Words really cannot describe the talent of such a down to earth and professional artist. Francesca has been our go to entertainer for 9 years. She is such a breath of fresh air. Would highly recommend the talents of this amazing young lady, whether you are looking for a laid back background set or something to get the party stared. You will not be disappointed this artist knows how to read the audience and deliver!!!!!

Wow, what an amazing talent! We had the honour of having Francesca perform at our wedding in May. My Husband and I knew right from the beginning, no one could compare and we had to make sure she was the one to sing our first dance! She had many of our family and friends in tears after her emotive performance....including myself. Her level of professionalism is second to none, and she really did have everyone up on their feet, partying the night away (as promised) to a set of Motown and Soul classics. Since our wedding, guests and even other suppliers have commented on how amazing the music was - a key highlight to our day and something people will never forget. Thank you so much for making it so special for us Fran, you truly are an exceptional artist! Cannot recommend enough!!! Already pre booking you for our 30th in 2023 by the way!
