Music expresses what words alone often can't. Whether you’re celebrating a joyful union, honoring a loved one's memory, or marking a milestone, you deserve a performance that feels personal, professional, and heartfelt.

Versatile Repertoire
From sacred hymns to heartfelt love songs
Having Julie sing at our wedding was easily one of the best decisions we made. She has this incredibly beautiful, melodic voice that is heartfelt, and it added a layer of magic to the day we'll never forget. What really sets her apart though, is who she is as a person. She's kind-hearted, quick-witted, and has this genuine way of making sure everyone around her is taken care of. You can tell she truly cares about making your moment feel special, rather than just 'doing a job.' If you are looking for someone with talent and a heart to match, then you need look no further. - Nikki F.
I have heard Julie sing in multiple different settings, including weddings, various church services, and banquet halls. Her ability to adapt to any setting and make it as beautiful as a cathedral is amazing! She has a great repertoire from spiritual to religious to power house love songs. Julie will listen attentively to your needs, and be fully present on your day. - Amy S.
