Memorial Service•Reviewed on June 23, 2024•From Massapequa, NY
Cristina was the ultra professional- I asked her to sing in a small room that was difficult for a singer like Cristina. She was tremendous. She made my event special and memorable. In addition, she is friendly, caring and understanding. You could not ask for a better performer!

Funeral•Reviewed on June 19, 2024•From Gardiner, NY
We had a funeral mass for my father who was a lover of Italian operatic music. Cristina called me and sent a quote very quickly. She was very professional and sympathetic to our loss. I gave her a list of songs and she was able to speak to the organist and be at the church early to rehearse with the church choir. Her voice was beautiful and everyone loved that we had arranged for Cristina to sing. My Mom and family were so happy with how the music complimented my father's wishes. Thank you so much Cristina!

Thank you for your kind words in this wonderful review. Full disclosure, I was so, so moved learning about your father. Your choice of songs - the "O Sole mio" brought me to tears. Your dad, an Italian-American Veteran, the greatest generation - it was my privilege and honor to sing for him at his mass, his spiritual "send off" to go to see the face of Jesus Christ where he belongs! God bless you and your wonderful family, Barbara. I hope our paths cross again in the future. My deepest condolences on your loss. It was my honor.

Church Service•Reviewed on January 6, 2019•From Bogota, NJ
I hired Christina to sing Ave Maria at a Mass for my grandmother. She was an absolute professional when the priest was making it difficult. She understood the importance of the event to me and my family. She sang acapella filling the church with her beautiful voice. I highly recommend her she is a true talent. I'm so grateful she shared her talent and grace on this special day.

Celebration•Reviewed on June 5, 2018•From Glen Cove, NY
Christina was phenomenal!! Very professional and extremely accommodating. Our event was not her normal or usual venue, however she treated our teachers to an amazing performance as if she were at Carnegie Hall!! They could not be happier and I was extremely satisfied with everything she did for us. She made our Italian inspired Teachers’s appreciation luncheon a tremendous success!!

If I could give more stars I would. Not only is Christina a fabulous talent, she is warm and an overall good hearted generous person who truly cares about the people she is entertaining. I recommend her and am definitely going to be using her for future events. Thank you gig masters for introducing me to her and thank you Christina for your generosity and accommodating personality and especially for your beautiful voice. God bless

Club Event•Reviewed on October 3, 2016•From Scarsdale, NY
Cristina is an engaging singer. Her songs sung in French and Italian were superb. Cristina draws the audience into her performance not only with her voice but with her expressions and feelings. I highly recommend Cristina to anyone that appreciates opera.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 1, 2016•From Brooklyn, NY
Christina was a spectacular entertainer. Her vocal style, knowledge of a variety of cultural songs and musical versatility was outstanding. Our resident community commended her interaction with them as well as the overall quality of the performance. Many of our Italian community, families and residents, remarked how "it was as though they were at the Opera". The birthday celebrant as well as her family stated that "not only was the show superb, but after the program, Christina took the time to engage with our family in dialogue about the birthday event and positive life experiences". We would gratefully welcome her back. Thank you Gigmasters.
