Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 26, 2024•From Tahoe City, CA
What can I say other than, Maria Peceli was just heaven sent for my sister’s 60th birthday celebration! We communicated a few times prior.! The restaurant was extremely busy and our reservation was pushed to a later time, but Maria patiently waited. As she sang, I watched my sister laugh and shed some happy tears. This was the most moving experience for all of us at the table. My sister said “What a special message from Maria! Thank you for such a beautiful gift of song and poetry. I will never forget and it made the evening extra special!!!”

Mary Claire!!!!
It was truly my pleasure and privilege to create this telegram for your dear Sister!!!!
I feel as if I have two new friends, in the world!
Thank you so much for the opportunity and also, for this wonderful review!!!!
God bless you,

Maria Peceli’s voice is angelic. She elevated our parent’s memorial service with her beautiful hymns. She arrived early, coordinated with the pianist ahead of time, and even learned a new song upon our request. She did a wonderful job. We received many compliments on her performance. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family. Thank you, Maria, for everything. You helped make our parent’s memorial service very special. Thanks for being part of it.

Thank you so much, Kerri. It truly was my privilege.
It was so lovely to meet you and have the blessing of singing for your parents' service.
You truly are one of a kind.
Sincerely,
Maria

Maria was outstanding through and through. Communicates well, enthusiastic and was very sensitive to our particular needs. A beautiful voice and her performance for 'Ave Maria' at mass service for our mom was exceptional. Made a somber event for us very special. Thank you Maria! You were awesome!

Oh, Mario, thank you so much!
It was my privilege to sing for your Mother's funeral Mass.
I'm grateful we met even though the circumstances are challenging.
I wish you and your family all the best.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on May 3, 2023•From Sebastopol, CA
Maria has a lovely voice and came a long way to accommodate us for my grand daughter's birthday. At four years old, my grand daughter wanted an opera singer! She loved Maria and sat next to her and sang a song with her. We were very happy to have Maria come to our party!
:
Thank you, Diane!
What a sweet afternoon we spent celebrating your precious granddaughter!
Thank you for letting me be a part of it! I loved that I got to sing with your precious sweetie!

Memorial Day Party•Reviewed on April 17, 2023•From Roseville, CA
Maria Peceli was warm, thoughtful and a delight! She showed up early, performed all songs exactly as we agreed, and helped to keep the service moving along when we needed it. She stayed to the end, was kind to all around her afterwards, especially to the widow. Oh, YES! We all cried as she sang the beautful & powerful arias acappella at our memorial service. We would hire her again and again!
:
Thank you, so much, Rain, for this amazing review! I truly appreciate it.
It really was my privilege to sing for your Dad’s Memorial and honor his love of music.
Thank you for letting me be a part of it and to meet you and your wonderful family!
Blessings,

Community Event•Reviewed on February 19, 2023•From Sacramento, CA
She was early, she was ready to perform and she was informative about the songs that she was singing.
She also stayed around and did a Q&A for my residents, I run activities at an assisted living.
They loved her and wanted to get her card and requested that I have her back soon.
:
Why, thank you, Roiee!
I really enjoyed your residents and the time spent with them! They were interested and attentive and I really enjoyed their requests and when they would sing with me!
Should you decide to have me back, I have a lovely program of “Opera and Oldies,” that I’m sure they’d love.
Thank you and all the best,
Maria

We loved Maria! I personally loved how accommodating she was to guest requests as well as how inclusive she was with the youth, to even invite my niece to sing a duet with her. She was so friendly, lovely and overall excellent in talent and repertoire! Would definitely hire again.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 7, 2022•From Roseville, CA
Maria is a very beautiful singer. I’m fairly picky about music, and I wanted a good musician for my Wedding Mass. She did not disappoint—Maria is very personable and professional, and always happy to help. If you are looking for a Soprano singer for a wedding Mass in Sac, Maria is the first person I would recommend.
:
Thank you so much, Katy!
Your wedding was beautiful and I was so happy to be a part of it! Thank you for this wonderful review.
God bless you and Brendan as you begin your new life together!
Congratulations!
All the best,
Maria

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 16, 2022•From San Francisco, CA
Maria was perfect for our Catholic wedding mass. We were in a bit of a panic because our previously booked singer had to cancel within 2 weeks of our wedding. Maria was very responsive, easy to coordinate with, and knew all the songs we had already approved with the organist and Church. Payment and coordination was also seamless. Day-of, she was great as well! This went from being a pretty stressful last minute wedding item to a very easy one and we were so thankful!
:
Thank you so much!
It was my pleasure and I’m so glad that you ended up feeling less stress!
I wish you the best as you begin your lives together!
Sincerely,
Maria

Memorial Service•Reviewed on February 23, 2022•From San Rafael, CA
Maria was a delight to speak with in preparing the event and planning her performance. She arrived early and was fully prepared, even dressed in warm clothing as we were outdoors and weather was cooler than we had hoped. Maria's voice carried beautifully to the entire space, and her performance was utterly fabulous. Her arias held the audience captive and even caused a tear or two to fall, while her traditional hymn was powerful and evocative, and her closing song was heartwarming as we had hoped. I am delighted with what Maria did for our family and friends and would love to book her again one day.
:
Thank you, so much, for this wonderful review, Marko!
It was certainly my honor to sing yesterday, to honor Debi and your family and friends. You were wonderful to work with about the whole process and I enjoyed meeting you and your family and friends, despite the circumstances.
Thank you, again, and I look forward to working with you in the future.
All the best,
Maria
Review by Tosca C.
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 22, 2021•From San Francisco, CA
Maria has an amazing voice and talent. I hired her for a Catholic Church wedding I planned and coordinated on Nov 6. She sang religious hymns and contemporary songs such as The Prayer, All I ask of You, You Raise Me Up, Ave Maria and blew the guests away with her powerhouse vocals. In addition, Maria is very responsive and accommodating. She helped us find other talent and worked seamlessly with the organist and other musicians. I recommend her without hesitation.
:
Thank you so much, Tosca!
It was an honor to sing in such a beautiful Church and to work with you!
I look forward to the next time!
All the best,

Maria was such a pleasure to work with. COVID made my wedding ceremony a lot different than I had imagined it, but through Maria’s talent and beautiful singing it felt just as special. She was very quick to communicate and answer questions. Just an all around all-star of a professional!

You and your husband (isn’t that fun!) were lovely! I was grateful to be a part of your wedding!!
You were a beautiful bride and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and love!

Funeral•Reviewed on September 22, 2021•From Hughson, CA
Maria was personable and a professional from the get-go. Stellar communication and proactive in accountability. As for her singing, just WOW! Better than I could have asked for. She sang Ava Maria, my mother’s favorite song, and Maria deeply touched our hearts. So many people inquired about her, and I whole-heartedly gave them her contact info. Additionally, when I met her in person, she was a delight: friendly and welcoming. We hit it off immediately. I hope to have her sing for us again in the near future!

Thank you, Renee!
I really enjoyed meeting you all - even under such sorrow in the loss of your parents.
I hope our paths cross again!
Thank you for everything!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 12, 2021•From Carnelian Bay, CA
Covid had me upside-down trying to figure a way to celebrate my best friends 50th birthday. I wanted to get her a special gift, but my options were very limited with her location & my ability to visit her during a pandemic. Finally after a lot of searching, I stumbled upon Maria on Bash. Maria gathered some info from me, then she created a wonderfully personalized song. She took a special song of ours and changed the words to perfectly capture my feelings and my friends special birthday in song. I took Maria's song and dressed up (a little) and did a lip sync version of my own. I was able to send my friend a personalized fun video message in song. Thanks Maria! 5star
:
Thank you, Jennifer! It was great fun and I loved the clip that you shared from your lip-synch!!!
Thank you for choosing me and trusting me with your vision!
All the best,

Nursing Home Event•Reviewed on December 31, 2020•From Sacramento, CA
I hired Maria to sing for my Mom this Christmas 2020. I could not have been happier! Unfortunately, I live far away so I could not be there but my family, especially my mother will never forget this experience! Maria is not only an incredibly talented singer but also an awesome human being. My mom is in a care home so Maria sang outside her window. I talked with my mom the next day and she was still over the moon happy! Maria made her feel so special! Maria is officially a part of our ohana! Mahalo Nui Maria!! I look forward to seeing you sing for her again in person some day soon!
:
Thank you so much, Frank, for this awesome review!
I truly enjoyed sing for AND WITH your sweet Mom!!!! She's a dear!
I hope that the New Year brings us all health and wellness and that you're able to travel to our neck of the woods!
I look forward to meeting you, in person, too!!!!
Happy New Year,

On 10/24/2020 we celebrated my mom's 75th birthday. I wanted to do something very special so I hired Maria from The Bash. She was extremely easy to work with. I gave her an insight on who my mom is and she incorporated the items into the song. Maria even went above and beyond and made a flower headpiece for my mom. Her voice is beautiful. I highly recommend her for any occasion.

Thank you, Uschi! It was lovely to meet you all and to help your Mom celebrate such a wonderful milestone! All the best to you!
