…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

"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

"Stella Bass is a classically-trained singer and musician whose repertoire is incredibly versatile."

WEDDINGS

Hi Stella, sorry only getting to email you now- on our honeymoon so havent been at a computer until now. Just wanted to say a big thank you for singing at our wedding - you were amazing! Hope you have a very happy Christmas.
Karen & David, December 2011

Hi Stella, hope all is well with you. I wanted to drop you a note to say a really big 'thank you' for doing such a wonderful job on our wedding ceremony. The music was exquisite, and we had so many guests come up afterwards to say that it was like being at a concert, and how they could have stayed listening to you for the day. It really added to the ceremony and helped make it the special occasion we both hoped for. Thanks a million!
Emma & Tony, November 2011

Hi Stella, just wanted to thank you for your beautiful singing at our wedding in Kilqaude Church. We didn’t have a chance to thank you on the day and only got back from the honeymoon earlier this week. You made the ceremony so much more special to us and we really enjoyed listening to you. A number of my friends also commented on how well you sang so we were really happy that we asked you to sing for us. Thank you again.
Marion & Ray, September 2011

Hi Stella, we just wanted to say thanks so much for your wonderful singing at our wedding. It really was amazing and everyone was commenting on how beautiful your singing was. You were a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again for making our day so special and one that we will never forget.
Francessca & David, September 2011

Hi Stella, so sorry I didn't get to speak to you the day of my wedding - you were absolutely breathtaking, everyone commented on you and I am still getting people complementing you. Thank you so so much, I will be recommending you to everyone!
Stephanie & Mark, September 2011

Hi Stella, just back from the honeymoon and coming back down to earth. Can't believe it is all over! Just want to say a HUGE thank you from both of us for your amazing performance at our wedding ceremony and later back at the reception in Tulfarris House. I know I was a bundle of nerves arriving at the church but when I heard you play I felt so much more at ease. Your organ playing was fabulous especially as it was probably your first time seeing the organ (lucky you are so slender as it is a tight squeeze to say the least!) let alone playing it. I watched our wedding video last night, sat back and took it all in, your voice had the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Ave Maria and Songbird were just super, think I started welling up. We have had so many compliments about you and how beautiful you sounded during the mass, it really made it for us. I'm really sorry I did not get to thank you in person before you left but just want to say you were such a pleasure to deal with leading up to the big day and so helpful, made our lives (well mine!) so much easier. I spent a lot of time researching musicians for the wedding but I knew once I heard your voice on your website you were the one for us! We will be recommending you to all and wish you continued success in the future. Once again thank you and best wishes.
Louisa & Senan, August 2011

Hi Stella, I wanted to drop you a quick note now that all the excitement has died down. I would just like to thank you so much for your beautiful singing at our wedding in August. The music during the ceremony was a real highlight for us and something we will never forget. Thanks again.
Nadine & Stephen, August 2011

Hi Stella, just a quick message from both of us to thank you so so much for the absolutely beautiful singing on Friday. You were brilliant and have gotten loads of compliments! Thanks a million again.
Eimear & Paul, August 2011

Hi Stella, thank you so very much – you made our day so so special. Thank you.
Elaine & Sean, July 2011

Hi Stella, thank you so much for the wonderful job you did on 10th June. I'm sorry I never got a chance to speak to you on the day, it was a little hectic. The music was amazing, it made our marriage ceremony so special. A number of our relations and friends are still talking about how beautiful the church music was. I completely agree, it made the whole ceremony perfect. I would have no problem recommending you to any of my friends. Please pass on our thanks to the other two musicians. Thanks again for making our special day a little more special.
Rose & Michael, June 2011

Hi Stella, I hope you are keeping well. I just wanted to send you a message to say thanks a million for making the trip to Castlebar on June 3rd. The music in the church was amazing so many people are talking about it and I have had more enquiries from brides-to-be about you so hopefully a lot more calls will be coming your way. You were a joy to deal with and made everything so effortless. Sorry that I never even got to meet with you that day it was just a whirlwind. Thanks again.
Deirdre & Bryan, June 2011

Hi Stella, just want to say a huge thank you for doing the music at the church and Tulfarris on the 20th May. You did an amazing job, thank you so much. Talk to you soon.
Fiona & Niall, May 2011

Stella, you guys rule! Thanks from myself and Caroline and all of our guests-we loved what you did for us on Friday night. The feedback from our guests was incredibly positive too-you were a real highlight of our perfect day! That's one hell of a voice: hope to hear it again sometime!
Caroline & Bruce, May 2011

Hi Stella, I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for a stellar job at my grandmother’s 100th birthday party on May 7th. Everyone was talking about you and how lovely not only your voice is, but you are too! It was a very memorable day for all of us and thanks so much for helping to make it a spectacular experience. We were incredibly fortunate to have found someone with such a varied repertoire. Thanks again and best wishes.

Fiona & Paul, March 2011

Hi Stella, I just wanted to thank you so much for the singing you provided in the church for our wedding day. Your voice was stunning and every piece was just beautiful. Everyone I spoke to remarked on how special the music in the church was and it really made the experience even more wonderful. I would recommend you to anyone looking for a church singer. I can’t wait to see my video so I can listen to all the pieces again. The Ave Verum Corpus was especially spine-tingling. Many thanks again Stella.
Noreen & Denis, December 2010

Hi Stella, I'm just back from honeymoon on Monday and I'm only gettng around to thanking everyone. I know I said it to you on the day but i really want to say again THANK YOU so much for your amazing singing at our ceremony.

Marianne & Patrick, August 2010

Hi Stella, just a quick line to say thank you for the music at our wedding in the Crowne Plaza on July 3rd. The evening entertainment was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the selection of songs you played throughout the night. However, the thing that had everyone talking was the church music. Your beautiful singing added to a wonderful ceremony for us both. We could not recommend you higher and were delighted with the service you provided from start to finish. Many thanks.
Keith & Gillian, July 2010

Hi Stella, just a quick email to thank you for the absolutely enchanting music in the church. It received huge praise from all the guests and added greatly to the occasion. Many thanks again.

Hi Stella, I just wanted to send you an e-mail to thank you for the lovely singing at my wedding in Roundstone. I got so many compliments about yourself and wished to reiterate my sincere gratitude for your professionalism. With many thanks again.
Carolyn & Toby, October 2009

Stella,I hope you are well. Just a quick email to thank you and your colleagues so much for the amazing singing/music at Adare Church for our wedding day. Your voice is breath taking and our guests are still talking about the church music. I particularly loved the Nella Fantasia, it was an incredible performance. Many thanks again and I would not hesitate to recommend you to friends in the future.

Mary-Clare & David, October 2009

Hi Stella how are you? Just wanted to say thanks so much for the beautiful singing at the wedding. Firstly I want to apologize for not getting to see you myself afterwards and thank you for doing an amazing job, you were the talk of the place afterwards everyone was saying how great you were. I kinda got sidetracked and never got to properly thank you. I hope everything was ok for you.
Karen & John, September 2009

Hi Stella, just wanted to drop you an email and say thanks for doing such a good job at the wedding. We were really impressed. You and David did a fantastic job together...for people that didn't even know each other you'd think you played and sang together before!! When you get a compliment that one of your guests shed a little tear during the Fields of Gold you know you are onto a good thing! Anyway, I hope all is good with you and you never know when our paths might cross again.
Lisa & Padraig, August 2009

Hi Stella, I just wanted to say thank you very much for making our day very special. Everyone is still talking about you from our wedding day back in August. We both meant to send this email to you before know but time has just flown by. We just wanted to say a big thank you and wish you all the best in your future. Our day just wouldn't have been the same without your beautiful voice.
Many thanks.
Lorraine & Dan, August 2009

Hello Stella, just a brief note to thank you for the beautiful music at Tankardstown House last Thursday evening. I was most impressed and delighted that you were part of our day. Wishing you and the band every success in the future.

Adrienne & Ronan, July 2009

Hi Stella, I am so sorry for taking so long to write this mail. We were away on honeymoon for the month of January and for the last few weeks since we got back, it has just been work life again and settling back in. I would like to thank you so much for the beautiful singing and music that you provided on the day of our wedding!! Your voice is absolutely amazing and so beautiful and it totally enriched our wedding mass!! I got back some wedding DVDs over the weekend and I was crying again listening to Nella Fantasia on the DVD as I walked up the aisle, we are so happy to have that to look back on again and again. All the songs were beautifully sung, but Amazing Grace and O Mio Babbino Caro were heart-rending to be honest. Your pianist did a fantastic job on Clair de Lune. It was just the perfect length in duration and I remember my eyes watering listening to it during the communion. Paul was delighted of course. Anyhow, Stella, thank you again so much, everyone commented on how fantastic the singer was and how lovely the music choices were. I would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone for their wedding mass.
Sonia & Paul, December 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.
Michelle & Keith, December 2008

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.
