Helene has over ten years experience singing at Weddings and Civil Ceremonies all over the Country, and is available to answer any questions you may have. She is at hand via email, phone, or, if you would prefer to meet her in person, she would be happy to do so.
Her repertoire is vast; it includes classical, opera, sacred, traditional Irish and modern love songs. However, you should always check with your celebrant to ensure He/She is happy with your song selections.
A sample repertoire is available. It comprises of more popular songs and hymns, but Helene is delighted to discuss any other music you may wish to hear on your special day.
It is recommended that you start listening to different wedding albums so you can familiarise yourself with the beautiful music that is available to you.
