MEDIA …Stella
Bass sang in the church – including a memorable rendition of Down in
the River to Pray – and later, at the reception in the candlelit Merrion Hotel, she appeared again with her band, Rewind. Irish Times, January 2009 “I so much enjoyed that
wonderful evening of cabaret in the Cobalt Cafe and as I remarked on the
night I have been lucky enough to hear Marlene Dietrich herself singing Lili Marlene and Louis Armstrong singing Mack the Knife
and your performance could stand honourable with
either of these two great artists. Well done. Bravo. I shall watch this space
for your further meteoric rise in showbiz”. Senator David Norris, December 2008 “Stella Bass is a classically-trained singer
and musician whose repertoire is incredibly versatile.” Evening Herald, March 2008 |

Hi Stella,
I just want to say a big, big thank you for singing at our wedding in Dunboyne Church in December. We had so many compliments about
the music and a number of people said they cried (in a good way of course) as
the music was so fantastic. My friend is getting married in November and has
asked for your details, I will pass them onto her and maybe something will
come from it. Many thanks for everything once again you certainly made the
day even more special. Hi Stella, I just wanted to say a big thank you for playing at our
recent wedding. You were absolutely brilliant and sang our favourite song
so perfectly. The biggest compliment I can pay you is that some of our
guests didn’t realise we had a singer in church and actually thought it was a
CD! You really were one of the highlights of an amazing day so thanks so much
for everything. Julie &
Ed, August 2008 Just a
quick note to say thanks very much for the beautiful singing in the
church at our wedding in Lacken last month. You
have a terrific voice which made the ceremony all the more special. Sarah &
Eoghan, July 2008 |

Hi Stella,
thank you very much for singing at our wedding, it was lovely. Everyone I
have been speaking to thought your singing was fab
and I have to agree with them! Yvonne & Dave, July 2008 |

Hi Stella,
just back to work today and can't believe it's all over. I just had to write
to you to say thank you for your amazing singing at our wedding. Everyone was
raving about you. Both Nicola and Mary were so thrilled to be able to
re live the memories of you singing on their wedding days. Please pass
on my sincere thank you to Niamh and the Perry String Quartet – they were
also fantastic! It really made the ceremony to have such wonderful music and
singing. One of Mark’s cousins is getting married next year in Cavan and wants to get in touch with so I’ll be passing
on your details to her. Best wishes for the future and I hope to hear you
again. Colette & Mark, June 2008 |

Hi Stella, just back to work
today. Would just like to thank you for your beautiful singing on our
wedding day. We were so pleased it went so well and received so many
compliments regarding you on the day. Thanks again and best wishes for
the future. Danielle & Paul, June 2008 |

I just
wanted to say a sincere thank you to you for singing at the church. It was
just amazing. I can't wait to see the DVD so we can relive it again. To be
honest, I didn't get to appreciate Nella Fantasia
walking up the aisle, but during the ceremony we both were able to sit back
and enjoy the hymns. Afterwards, so many people commented on how beautiful
the music in the church was (you even got a mention in the speeches!). I will
definitely be recommending you to anyone getting married. |

Hi Stella,
I just wanted to say thank you for all you did on the wedding day, everyone is still talking about you! I have given
your name to a friend who is getting married next April. |

Hi Stella,
sorry for taking so long to say a big thank you for singing
so beautifully. Again, thanks and I wish you the very best. |

Hi Stella,
we are just back from our honeymoon and I wanted to get in touch to say thank
you for your wonderful singing at our wedding in Westport. The ceremony was
truly made something special due to you. We had lots of comments about the
beautiful singing. If any of my friends ever need a singer, I will certainly
recommend you. Once again thank you Stella. Claire & Colin, September 2006 |

Hi Stella, I'm
sorry I haven't been in contact with you sooner but I'm just back from our
honeymoon & trying to get back to normality. I just wanted to thank you
very much for your lovely singing in the church. It was really beautiful
& exactly what I wanted. Everybody was complimenting you and saying how
much of a lovely singer you were. I was sorry that I never got a chance to
speak to you on the day but you know how it is, I was in another world!!!
Thanks a million again & who knows I might see you again cause I've
passed your contact details on to some of my friends for their weddings!! |

Stella,
just a quick note to say thank you very much for your beautiful singing at my
wedding on 7th July in Marino Church. Sorry I didn’t get to speak to you on
the day but between greeting all the guests and then getting photos done I
didn’t have a minute to myself! Everyone commented on your fabulous voice and
myself & Darren were delighted with the
ceremony. I particularly loved ‘Nella Fantasia’ after
Communion. I will certainly be recommending you to my friends. Thanks again. |

Hi Stella,
apologies for the delay, I meant to get in touch with you right after the
wedding but you know how things are sometimes...I'm sorry we didn't get a
chance to meet on the day but let me tell you, the feedback from our friends
was amazing and we couldn't agree more! Even thinking of it now makes my eyes
watery...your performance (that includes the piano player) was breathtaking
and, although it was exactly was we wanted, I cursed myself during the
ceremony because I really struggled not to cry, and as you might have
noticed, all of my bridesmaids were in tears! I was actually trying to find
typos in the mass booklet so I wouldn't burst into tears myself (thank God
for waterproof mascara!), and Alan was blown away and he doesn't get
impressed easily! It was absolutely perfect and I just wanted to thank you
both once again because it was a tremendous contribution to a wonderful day.
Thankfully you understood from the start what we were looking for and you
were a brilliant help in putting this together. So thank you and all the best
for the future! |

Hi Stella,

I never got to speak to you at the wedding and I just wanted to send you a
quick note to say thanks a million and WOW!!!! What an amazing
voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone was absolutely mad about you and so were we!
Have had loads of requests for your details from our guests! Thank you so
much for being so kind and helpful and for making our ceremony so memorable.
Talk to you soon. |

Stella, my apologies
for not getting back to you quicker on our return from honeymoon, but as you
can imagine work was hectic with catching up when I got back. I just wanted
to let you know how pleased we were with your wonderful singing at our
wedding. You were so professional and never gave us any worries. We've had
numerous comments on how brilliant you were. Wishing you every success in the
future and thanks again. |

Hi Stella,
just back to work today and can't believe it's all over. I just had to write
to you to say how wonderful your singing was at our wedding. The compliments
you received from the guests were wonderful and I heard that your singing of "She Moved Through the Fair" brought
one or two people to tears - nearly myself. Thank
you again and pass on my best to your accompanist - she was also fantastic!
It really made the ceremony to have such wonderful music and singing. I would
expect that you might get a few calls from some of my friends and I can
honestly say I would recommend you to anyone. Best wishes for the future and
I hope to hear you again. Take care. |
