Lorraine was incredible in the whole lead up to our wedding as well, of course, as the wedding day itself. She guided us through the
ceremony, went over our booklet and suggested hymns and instrumental pieces where needed. We had some out of the ordinary requests and Lorraine was extremely accommodating to everything. Also, Lorraine?s voice is so beautiful, everyone was in tears. We would recommend Lorraine without a shadow of doubt to any couple getting married.

Lorraine, is without a doubt the best in the business. With having a background in music myself, I was looking for someone with that "edge" Lorraine, certainly has this, which, to me, separates her from so many other vocalists. She is an extremely talented lady and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her range and pitch in classical music is outstanding. She is able to adapt her vocal style to meet the music you wish for her to perform at your wedding.

Not only does Lorraine help you with her music, she has that "personal" edge. She was excellent at communicating with me in the build up to our special day but also extremely helpful when I was choosing our church. She recommended Holycross Abbey based on the acoustics there, which we will be forever grateful for. She is more than your average wedding singer!

Our guests absolutely adored her singing and the warm atmosphere that she created in the church. She sent shivers up many spines, especially during our entrance song, The Prayer by Celine Dion. She incorporated a selection of Christmas hymns which created a wonderful festive feeling. There was never any problem to big; she organised all the musicians which was so helpful to me in the lead up to our big day. She is an absolute star, a friendly and caring lady who I would recommend to any future bride and groom! 5 stars!

We were very lucky to have Lorraine sing at our recent wedding on 29th October 2021. When I started planning our wedding I came across Lorraine online and knew immediately she was what I was looking for. Her voice is absolutely incredible in her videos and in reality it blew me away - she is just so talented. We had to cancel our original wedding date due to the covid 19 pandemic and Lorraine worked with us to find another date. She was so helpful throughout all the changes and also guided me through the music selection for the ceremony. Nothing was too much trouble , she is just so lovely to deal with. I felt she really cared about making sure everything was right for us and she was always on hand to answer my questions or give advice and suggestions. Lorraine?s voice lit up the church during the ceremony and it made the ceremony so special for us. All the guests commented on how spectacular she was and how much they really enjoyed it. If you are thinking of booking Lorraine just go ahead and do it! She will bring something very special to the day. Amazing amazing talent. Thank you so much Louise & Sean

We got married in October 2018 and Lorraine sang at our church service. If you want a wedding singer who will make your special day extra special, we would strongly recommend Lorraine. She has a beautiful voice, wonderful personality and we couldnt have asked for more. She spent as long as we needed in selecting the songs and gave great practical advice on things we had never considered. Anns niece (11) wanted to sing a song too and Lorraine was so kind in easing her nerves, and generally keeping an eye on her. Lorraine offers a wide selection of music, something to please all tastes. Definitely check her out. Shane & Ann

Lorraine is a truly talented singer who can captivate an audience as soon as she hits that first note.

For us, our church ceremony in the small Italian town of Pienza was the most special part of our day and it was very important to us that everything was just perfect. Lorraine certainly made sure that she added her special touch - she sang so beautifully and so effortlessly and had everyone mesmerised by her voice - months following the wedding I still have guests commenting to me about her amazing singing.

Not only can Lorraine deliver on the day, she was invaluable in the lead up to the wedding helping us choose songs for the ceremony. The church would only allow liturgical songs to be sang - I had no idea where to start as I did not know what was truly liturgical and what was not but following a quick meeting with Lorraine she was able to recommend many options that would be allowed and that we truly loved for our ceremony.

We cannot thank Lorraine enough for all that she added to our wedding day and we will be forever grateful.

Thank you so much again!

Although Lorraine is a friend of more than 20 years, to see her in action in the lead up and on our big day was amazing. True professional with so much passion and desire to please using her gift of music. Her choice of accompanying artists on the day added to our special day! We wish we could do it all over again just to hear her sing our songs, albeit we are lucky as I can ask her anytime I see her ???? On a serious note, get in touch with this absolute lady and let her add her sparkle to your wedding day!

Lorraine sang and preformed at our wedding service,June 23rd last. She sang beautifully: a beautiful, classical operatic voice. Our choices included religious hymns, traditional Irish ballads, and classical pieces, and she sang them all perfectly. Her angelic voice just bristled with emotion, and her rendition of Nella Fantasia (our processional) had a few in tears. I also found Lorraine a joy to deal with. She was open to suggestions, while not being afraid to give her professional advice. I was eager for her to sing The Parting Glass, a song she had not previously preformed, but she was happy to oblige, and she did a beautiful, choral version of it. Lorraine quoted us a very competitive price, and I was very grateful she was able to source excellent backing musicians. I would not hesitate in recommending Lorraine. Fantastic job and beautiful voice!

She has the most beautiful voice that created a warm and loving ambience for our ceremony. We couldn't recommend Lorraine enough for anyone's special day!

When we began organising our wedding, one of the most important aspect for us was the music. We found Lorraine to be very helpful in assisting us to choose the songs/music that reflected both our taste. Lorraine was very flexible in this and on the day, sang it to perfection. Some of our guests noted afterwards that they had tears in their eyes moved by the emotive performance. She made our wedding ceremony feel perfect. We can't help but highly recomend Lorraine.

Lorraine made our wedding ceremony perfect. Every song was magical and gave us goosebumps! We had a number of guests asking where we found her as they hadn't heard anything like Lorraine at a wedding ceremony before and just loved it. Lorraine responded to every email promptly and assisted with our song selection. I requested a couple of songs that were special to us and Lorraine gladly sung them which was the icing on the cake. Thanks again Lorraine!

The music at our wedding was one of the most important aspects for us so we did lots of research and chose carefully! When we found Lorraine we were blown away with what we heard and delighted she was available for our wedding at Easter. Lorraine was really flexible and sang songs that were outside of her repertoire for us - perfectly!! She organised the other musicians and on the day her music and singing was even more touching than we could have imagined - all of our guests commented on how genuinely special it was. It really did bring a tear to our eyes. Just beautiful.

Lorraine, we can't thank you enough for helping make our day even more perfect than we thought possible.

Lorraine performed at our wedding a few weeks ago. We had a civil ceremony with around 60 guests. Her singing on the day was exceptional with many of the guests commenting afterwards about it.

What I really like about Lorraine was that she didn't just show up on the day to sing a few songs. She helped us in advance by going through our ceremony booklet and helping us to pick music that would be appropriate and balanced.

What I also liked was there were some extra songs we liked that weren't required for the ceremony. Lorraine offered to perform these while the guests arrived. This was lovely and set a lovely tone.

Finally Lorraine sourced her accompaniment and provided the PA system so this took any of that stress away from us.

In summary I'd highly recommend Lorraine for any wedding as her voice is beautiful and she will support the couple to make the right music choices for them.

Lorraine was fabulous from start to finish for our wedding. She was willing and able to sing anything that we wanted and gave us really great advice on music choices and possibilities before the day. She also recommended 2 fantastic musicians (pianist & cellist) to accompany her. We were so happy with our music on the day, her rendition of To Build A Home by The Cinematic Orchestra brought us all to tears! We can't recommend her highly enough - so professional & a genuinely lovely person.
Thanks so much Lorraine! X

I could not recommend Lorraine more highly, she is so talented and such a nice person as well.

I had so many of my friends and family comment on how beautiful our church music was, and that is all down to Lorraine. She was there to give me advice and guidance with song choices and they couldn't have been more appropriate for our venue and style, and having just gotten married herself offered me some excellent advice in the build up to our big day.

If you are looking for a singer for your wedding ceremony look no further than Lorraine - she is absolutely fantastic and I would recommend her to any of my closest friends.

Thanks a million for everything Lorraine.

Dear Lorraine & Mike, Many thanks for such lovely words in relation to the music performed at your wedding ceremony in February. It was such a pleasure to deal with you both in the run up to your special day and I loved working with you and hearing all your lovely music ideas for your special day. What can I say about your beautiful quant little church St Joseph's on Inch beach in Dingle Co Kerry, what a sight to behold both inside and out and the acoustics were just amazing. Both Sinead (Harpist) and I really enjoyed performing at your lovely ceremony and we wish you both many years of happiness in your future lives together, Best Wishes Lorraine xx

We booked Lorraine after hearing her perform at another event. Having met and chatted with her we went through all the options for music that would best suit our ceremony. We found she really listened and understood how important choosing the right music for the various parts of the service would be. Including a piece for rermembering our loved ones that are no longer with us.
It is that piece that when I hear it played today brings fond memories of our wedding and I will always remember how beautifully it was performed by her. Without doubt it is still one of Our Most treasured memories from our day.
I would recommend Lorraine without hesitation & certainly if you are looking for a ceremony with a touch of class musically.... Lorraine is Gifted.
Response from Lorraine Galvin – Soprano and Wedding Soloist
Louise and Enda - What can I say you guy's were a joy to work with!! We had such fun chatting about all your wedding plans and what specific music choices you loved. You also wanted to have a special piece to remember your loved ones who are no longer with us. Louise I know for you it was an emotional day as you beloved Dad was absent but you still wanted to remember his memory through music. Looking through my suggestions you had always loved The Prayer the duet made famous by Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli. I was only delighted to perform your special piece for you as you lit your memorial candle with Enda at your wedding ceremony. I am so happy that this is one of your treasured musical memories of your special day when you became Husband & Wife. I wish you health and happiness for all the years to come, Best wishes Lorraine xx

We were thrilled to book Lorraine for our wedding as we have heard her perform at so many of our friends weddings (guaranteed someone will book her after hearing her on your big day!). From start to finish she made the process so easy and her extensive experience in this area makes her the ideal choice to help make decisions on your wedding music. She also knows ALOT of people in this space and can organize pretty much anything you need! Her sound is distinctive, powerful and very evocative! Not a dry eye in the house! Her service was second to none.
Response from Lorraine Galvin – Soprano and Wedding Soloist
Thank you Sadie and Barry for such a lovely review on my performance at your civil wedding ceremony in the Wine Port Lodge in March. I was delighted to sing for such a beautiful intimate ceremony and also loved your quirky and laid back choices in the music you chose for me to sing. It was a great opportunity for me to sing in my contemporary voice which is quite different from my classical approach to singing. You had every faith in my performance and at one stage Sadie during my performance of John Legend's 'All of me' - your special song for Barry, I could see you welling up. I think at that stage I realized it was a job well done!!!! Best wishes to you both as you begin your new adventure as husband & Wife, Lorraine xx

Lorraine was a pleasure to work with. She is extremely professional and enthusiastic. Myself and Paul didn't know where to begin when choosing our wedding music but Lorraine gave us lots of ideas and made it extremely easy for us.
She recommended and organised a violinist and flute player which took a lot of stress off us!
On the Wedding day itself, Lorraine was full of support and encouragement which was just wonderful. The singing itself was simply outstanding and really set the scene for a truly memorable day.

Hi Lorraine,
Both Kieran and would like to thank you ever so much for the fantastic job you did for us on our wedding day. What can we say ? the performance you gave was out of this world!
Inevitably on a couple?s big day there are anxious moments when you hope all goes according to plan and in respect to your part in the church, we were right not to have had any worries whatsoever as we knew you were top class and you proved it on the day. You were simply fantastic! Your voice and performance were of an exceptionally high standard, as good as one could expect from any professional.
We weren?t alone in our view either, many people from the congregation enquired from me later as whom you were and commented on your amazing performance.
It was a total pleasure to work with you from start to finish, you made us feel at ease but were still very professional, accommodating and of course massively talented.
I hope you get a lot more people requesting your services, it would be foolish not to hire you, I would recommend you to anyone ? you?re as good as it gets!
Thanks again
Mara & Kieran

Firstly, this is the first review that either of us have ever written! But, we could not, not write a review about Lorraine.
We will both never forget how emotional Lorraine was throughout our ceremony. She sang so beautifully and passionately.Even when Lorraine was leaving the church the emotion stayed with her. She hugged us both as she left and was truly so happy for us.Lorraine is an extremely genuine person and her priority for your day is making you happy. She bent over backwards for us and our ceremony was the highlight of our wedding day because of her. Lorraine is also so inexpensive considering her qualifications and sheer talent. If you are looking for a Soprano for your day, look no further.
