Testimonials

Croma, Prestwich 8th Jan 2012 

…for a lovely evening at Croma, Prestwich.
I’m Nathalie and I was there tonight (Sunday 8th Jan) with my partner and 4 year-old son.  I had hoped to say thank you personally but you were on your break when we left so I took the liberty to take one of your business cards, I hope you won’t mind.
I really enjoyed your performance and my son did too! I can only agree with all the many people who have given testimonials on your website to say that you have a beautiful voice and are very talented. It was a pleasure to listen to you (and sing along…). You have a great repertoire, all those songs I really love singing myself.
So thank you again. I will definitely mention you to my friends and tell them of your next gig at Croma, which I unfortunately can’t attend but I will watch this space.
Best wishes for 2012!
Nathalie

Elmridge Primary PTA Eid Celebration Nov 2011
On Thursday we had the PTA Eid Celebration Party in school – and what a success it was!
We couldn’t have held this event without the hard work of Hanna and her team, all the parents who were involved in setting up, running the event, donating food, and cleaning up afterwards, as well as Penny Mac, who once again provided her professional DJ services.
Thankyou to everybody who was involved in the event, and to all who attended it.

High Road House Private Club, Chiswick | Sept 2011

 

Dear Penny,

Well I think I have finally recovered from my crazy party. Let’s just say my feet were destroyed as was my head having had one too many of those mohjitos!! I wanted to hand write you a heartfelt thank you note but if you wait for me to do that it will never get to you. So please accept this electronic version written with the same sincerity.

You were magnificent!!! I can’t get over how talented you are. You are a beautiful singer and a wonderful musician and all of my guests have been commenting on the fact that they didn’t even realize that it was a live person- they thought it was my Ipod until they saw you!! You sounded exactly like the singers whose songs you were covering. Thank you so much for your great attitude and for making the beginning of my party so lovely. I included one of your cards in each of my thank you notes so the “word” is out. If I ever do have another big bash, I will be sure to call you and I will recommend you to anyone who asks. We were just speaking about you tonight to a friend of a friend in fact who is in the very beginning stages of planning her 50th. She is unsure of what she is doing but at least she has your name.

I hope your trip was not too long on Friday night. Oh and I wanted to say thank you for those delicious macarons (is that what they are called?) Well whatever they were, my mom and I gobbled them down. It was a true pleasure to meet you and I only wish we had more time to get to know one another. You are very blessed with such immense musical talent something I always wished I’d been born with. Thanks again for everything!

Sincerely,

Meredith Snizek

Brett Harkness Photography – August 2011

I came across Penny when I saw her sing at a wedding, amazing is all I can say. This woman has many talents apart from singing! Including sound recording, instrumentalist, teacher to name but few. I needed a voice over recording for my new Wedding Photography DVD and couldn’t have enjoyed the experience more. At Pennies own recording room at her house we quickly made light work of the hour long recording that I had to do. With state of the art facilities we sent sound snippets to my video team in London to check and instantly we were on the right track. A huge thank you to Penny whose experience and professionalism shone through throughout the whole experience. All I can say is leave it to the professionals!

Thanks again and I look forward to working with you again.

Alex and I would like to thank you for singing during our wedding service last Saturday.

You have such a beautiful voice and I really feel your performance made our service exactly what I had hoped for. Both Ave Maria and the Adele song had me in tears.

I can’t tell you how many people have complimented you on your performance. If we can send any business your way, we will definitely pass on your details.

We would like to send a card to thank you for playing a part in our wedding.

Best wishes,
Andrea and Alex Glancey

So sorry for not getting in touch sooner – married life is a little hectic, especially as I still have to commute each weekend!

We cannot thank you enough for the great work you did to help make our wedding so special! Your help and advice before the wedding was invaluable and you exceeded all our (already high) expectations on the day, despite our best laid plans and timings going slightly awry on occasion!!

Everybody commented on how beautiful your performances were during the ceremony; unfortunately I was a little too preoccupied to appreciate them (real men DO cry!) but I did feel calm while wondering why Carol was delayed (she insists she was early and it was the registrar that held her up!) so the music must have helped!

During the afternoon reception your choice of songs was perfect and again, you performed a lot longer than we expected, which was an added bonus!

And the evening; well, what can I say! Who’d have thought that someone who plays the flute and violin so beautifully could also play the crowd we had so well too! Again, a really good choice – appreciated by everybody!

Thank you once again – if ever you need a testimonial or reference then we will be MORE than happy to oblige!

We are looking forward to seeing you again at Carol’s birthday bash and I will be in touch in due course to finalise things.

Kindest regards
Mark & Carol

Just a quick note to say Thank You for your splendid work on Saturday and for the gift you left for Carol and I. It was so nice that you used some of the music that we asked for at the wedding, especially the last dance!

Everyone was very complementary about your performances and I have already given your details to a couple of guests who are planning their own ‘dos’.

Again, if you need any testimonials or references then please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks again
Love and best wishes.

Dear Penny

Thank you so much for singing and playing at the wedding. It was a fantastic day and you made it more so.Did we cry? you said we would!! So many people commented on you and how gifted you were. When the weather was so beautiful and you were not allowed outside, I did have some concerns!!

Hope you enjoyed Sting.

Thank you once again

Hi Penny

Just a short message to say Thanks so much for your performance at our party on Saturday night. I do not even think that the poor weather had any bearing on the night. We all had a great night and everyone has said how excellent you were!!

Definitely would like to have another one soon -  Forget the barbeque as would rather spend my money on the ‘Singer’.

Take Care and thanks again

Dear Penny,

Many apologies that we haven’t responded until now – I thought Graham had responded and he thought I had.  As you can see our marraige is working like clockwork! ;)

We are very happy to give you a testimonial for your work at our wedding last year. It’s true what people say about the wedding day going past in a blur, however I do have very clear and wonderful memories of your amazing performances throughout our reception.  We were a little worried in advance of the day that not having a huge number of guests might make the reception a little flat after the speeches, however we needn’t have worried as everyone danced the night away to your songs.  Many of the guests commented on your fabulous voice and the quality of your performances.
Before we got married we didn’t have a song that was special to us, so chose not to have a first dance.  However one of the last songs you played that we danced to has now become our song, I’ll never forget it!

Thanks again for making such a big contribution to our day and we’ll be sure to recommend you to friends and family.

Best wishes,
Heather & Graham.


All Saints New Year Ball, Ringway Golf Club. 11-01-2008

…….”Throughout the evening we were entertained by Penny Mac, who sang and played soft melodies to us during dinner and then the tempo moved up a gear when the dancing started. The dance floor became rather crowded which restricted the movements of some of our more energetic dancers!….It was altogether a delightful evening of food, fellowship & fun enjoyed by church members and many visitors. I, for one, hope it will become a regular event in our Church’s social calendar. thank you to everyone who was involved in the organisation.”

Hi Penny,

I just wanted to thank you so much for entertaining us at our client ‘do’ on Saturday. You made the evening and everyone was extremely impressed! You have a beautiful voice and the music you performed was perfect for such an evening. I noticed a couple of our clients asked you for a business card so I really do hope you get a few more bookings from the evening. Almost everyone asked where I had found you as they were so impressed so if you don’t mind I will send your details round to everyone that attended.

I’m sure we will be in touch again in the future and will recommend you to our clients whenever possible,

Thanks again,

Kind Regards,  Kate

Penny

Holiday was great thanks – typical British weather!!!

It was nice to meet you too.

I was a little pessimistic when making the booking as is not something that you tend do every day.  Thank you for making the process simpler by understanding what I wanted and playing three fantastic pieces of music.

You look good, sound good, and have put me in the good books for months to come.

Thanks again.

Penny,

Sorry we’ve not been in touch sooner but we’ve just been a bit manic planning for the honeymoon etc.

We just wanted to thank you again for making our wedding so very very special.  You made a real difference and so many people have commented on your talent and how much you contributed to the day.

We couldn’t have wished for anyone better and we will be heartily recommending you to anyone we can!

Also, to have gone to the trouble of going into the studio to make the backing track for our special song was above and beyond and we truely appreciate it.  We’ll have worn out our copy soon we’ve listened to it so often!  It was lovely to sit opening our cards and presents with your CD playing.

We’ve popped a little thank you in the post – I’m sre you’ll figure out it’s from us.

Keep in touch and good luck for everything you do in the future.  Let us know if you need a testimonal at any point – we’ll be more than happy to oblige.

Thank you.  Proper!

Hi there, Penny,
Just a quick note to thank you so much for doing your stuff on Saturday.  You must be the most patient and flexible musician in the world.  A complicated arrangement would have been completely unbearable if you hadn’t been there to help.  The music was great and, as you could see, you managed to keep people dancing for hours!  Very much appreciated, Penny.  Can’t thank you enough.   Nancy and Carl are away for a couple of weeks now but I know they will want to contact you on their return.
With love,
Stephanie

Dear Penny,

Thank you so much for all that you did to make our Ruby Wedding celebration such a success. So many people commented on your versatility as a soloist both to sing & to play instruments. We all enjoyed listening to you during dinner & dancing to your music afterwards.

I am confident that you will get future bookings from amongst our friends as so many praised your contribution to the evening. Jay & I certainly hope that we will enjoy another evening with you in the future.

With kind regards & best wishes from Jay & me, Sue.

To Penny,

You did us proud – loved the violin, the singing & the disco. How talented are you?! Love Liz

Thank you for making our day such a hit… Love from Linda

Thank you very much for playing the flute in our wedding ceremony. It was beautiful.

Also thank you very much for the singing and the entertainment. Your voice is amazing and everybody made a point of saying how much they enjoyed it.

Lots of love, Joanne & Gary


1st April 2006

The Occasion was a 40th birthday party for my wife, Wendy. We wanted the party to be more than just a DJ and buffet ‘do’.

We achieved this by replacing the buffet with nibbles and the DJ with the talents of Penny Mac. I am delighted to say that Penny’s range of musical talents and her wide portfolio of modern song choices went down very well with all our guests – oh, and so did the nibbles !

Penny couldn’t have been more co-operative and even helped us to facilitate a few party activities, including learning a song to do a duet along with Wendy playing the guitar.

Thanks once again for making Wendy’s special night an unforgettable memory.

luv & best wishes always from Keith & Wendy


3rd March 2006

“Nearly all the thank you letters we have received since Debbie’s 60th birthday party have made specific mention of you and commenting on your talent as a musician as well as a singer. You provided marvellous background music during our dinner and later great music and song for dancing. You helped make a super party night. Many thanks”.

Dear Penny
Here goes….!Choosing the right entertainment for our evening wedding reception was extremely important to us and we started visiting venues with live entertainment to find the right ‘act’. As soon as we saw you perform we knew you were exactly what we wanted. Not only do have you a massive amount of talent and are able to perform a variety of songs, but your easy-going nature and ability to listen to what we wanted for our wedding made this part of the planning joyful and stress-free!

The confidence you have in planning and performing meant that on the day I literally didn’t give you a second thought, I knew you would be at the venue in plenty of time to set up. The sets you performed were brilliant and your interaction with our guests gave us the intimate feel that we wanted. I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to you for providing a first class service for our wedding and help make it such a special day.

Kindest regards

Alex & Martin Aston

Good luck Penny x


23rd July 2005

There are many things that make a great wedding, good weather, superb venue, close friends and family, fine food and drink and the right mix of entertainment to make the evening swing.

At my daughter Ella’s wedding to Ryan we were fortunate to have Penny Mac to open the nights entertainment. She was superb. Soul, jazz, pop, slow and dance music Penny delivered and the guests danced the night away. She was a star.

I would have no problem in recommending Penny for any occasion.
She helped make it a wedding we’ll never forget.
