Frequently Asked Questions

If you'd like to book with Emma Katherine Singer then please fill out our contact form which can be found in the contact section of our website. From there, I will contact you to to discuss your wedding or event in more detail and answer any questions you have. This can be done through email, messages or a consultation call. Once you choose your package, a quote will be provided for you. If you are happy with the quote then please confirm you would like to go ahead and a contract and invoice will be sent to you.

Yes, for bookings under £500 I require a £100 and for bookings over £500 it’s a £200 deposit within 48 hours of booking to secure your date. The remaining balance will be due a month before your wedding. This is to ensure your date is secured in my diary, after which I will send out my repertoire for you to start perusing!

Once I have received your deposit and booking form, I will send an email across with key information and my repertoire. If you would like one, I will arrange an initial consultation call to discuss all things your wedding/event. This includes the running of your day, colour scheme and just getting to know one another so you don’t feel as though you have a stranger at your day.

I will keep in contact throughout the lead up to your day, to answer any questions you have, make contact with your venue and wedding co-ordinators, and to help you with your song selections. We can book in multiple calls to discuss your day and I am able to provide clips of songs to listen to before your day. Pop an email or message across any time and I will always be happy to help!

Absolutely! I always advise couples that want to book but aren’t quite sure what package to book. to book the smaller package initially to make sure that your date is secure in my diary, and then you can always add on to that package at a later date. I am always happy to extend my bookings unless I have another booking or personal commitment in the evening. However, I don't tend to book more than one event or wedding in a day -so I am usually able to extend.

I can also offer a video or phone call with you before booking to help answer any questions and help you decide on which package suits you best!

I am more than happy to travel all over the UK for weddings. I charge for travel above 2 hours away from my address. For travel above 2 hours each way, mileage is charged at 50 pence per mile.

For any venue that is over 2 hours from my home address, I simply ask for my travel and accommodation costs to be covered where necessary. Accommodation will be charged at £75-£100 per night depending on location.

For locations over 4 hours from my address I will charge for 2 nights accommodation.

Yes, I have a song list of over 300 songs in my repertoire with songs covering a wide range of genres and eras of music to suit almost every wedding or event. I will send this to you once you have booked. You can either put the set list together yourself or I can put one together for you based on your music tastes.

I can absolutely learn any special requests at no extra cost (provided I can find a suitable backing track)! This is your day and I want to ensure that the music is perfect for you and your loved ones, tailoring the music to you.

If I can’t find a backing track, there is the option for me to work with some talented musicians to create a bespoke track for you. This allows me to create unique backing tracks for less well-known songs, as well as to create slowed-down/acoustic versions of your favourite songs. However, there will be a small additional fee of £40 for these.

Yes - I hold public liability insurance to the value of £5 million. Once booked, I will send this to your venue, along with my PAT testing certificates for all of my electrical equipment.

Yes! I have my own PA system - a Bose S1 Pro + and Sennheiser wireless mic. I can provide the HK Audio Polar 10 for bigger events where required.

I always bring extra cables and a spare mic with me to any performance to ensure I have back-ups and extension leads for any area lacking electricity or if required to sing outside.

No, I can sing at any and every event! Though weddings make up the majority of my bookings; I am more than happy to sing for any event at which you would like live music! 

I've had the honour of performing for birthdays, corporate employee events, charity fundraisers, residential care home parties, Christmas fayres, pubs, garden centres, funerals and more. 

I will work with you to ensure my performance is personalised to fit your event.

Depending on what package you choose, I could be with you all day! 

I like to arrive around 1 and a half to 2 hours before my performance time to allow time to set up and sound check. I will then sing my heart out for your package and then require around 30 minutes to pack down after I have performed my final song!

I will give you as much notice as possible and have a wide network of talented singers that I will call on to offer you replacement. If that’s not possible I will offer a full refund.

The amount can vary based on the length of the songs you choose, but as a rule of thumb:

The Ceremony

20 minute guest arrival set - 7 songs

1 Aisle Song

3 songs for the register signing

1 Exit Song

For sets throughout the day-

30 minute set - 10 songs

60 minute set - 20 songs

2 × 45 minute sets - 30 songs
