First, I give Valerie beyond a 10+ rating. I hired her to sing at our daughter's wedding in June. She sang the Lord's Prayer acapella in our church for a crowd of 300. Well, all I can say is that she knocked it out of the park. I saw the minister close his eyes during her performance and wipe his eyes with a handkerchief as she finished. Her voice filled and projected throughout the church and embraced each person in attendance. I have been asked for a video of just her performance by friends. One said, "People from Atlanta would be willing to put her on a plane to come sing." My daughter's Godmother kept saying, "Everything was beautiful, and that singer, that singer! Wow!" If you want a beautiful song sung at an event, I can not recommend Valerie more highly. Also, she was so kind and professional to work with along the way.

Music is such an important part of our lives and we wanted it to be a very distinctive part of our wedding ceremony and reception. We were privileged to witness the beauty and authenticity of Valerie’s voice reach to the core of each of our guests and bring them together to celebrate the wonder of this distinct moment in time. Valerie is not only the best singer I've ever heard at a wedding, but one of the best live singers I've ever heard, period. She was easy to work with, super friendly and truly desired to make us happy. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Valerie for conveying the message that transformed our day into something truly magical. I couldn’t have possibly dreamed of it anymore!

Valerie was extremely patient and extremely professional while dealing with us being an hour late. She sang two songs for us. She was prepared and knocked our socks off. She blew my guests away by singing so beautifully. I highly recommend hiring her based on her professionalism and talent. Her videos don't do her credit once you witness her sing live, in-person. She doesn't even need a background track with that voice! Thank you Ms. Dawkins for making my day so beautiful! My family and guests were so impressed. My husband thought that she wrote one of the songs that she sang. I had to tell him that he's heard me play the song hundreds of times over the past few years. He didn't believe that it was the same song because she completely topped the original. What a talent, what a classy lady, what a performer.

Ms. Dawkins was a true professional. She sang two songs for our wedding. The first song my husband and I walked down the isle together on "The One He Kept For Me". She sang it so beautifully both my husband and I cried happy tears. She sang with a lot of emotion. We felt the words of the song. The second song she sang was "From This Moment." She sings with such emotion our guest were in awe. Both my husband and I felt blessed that we chose Ms. Dawkins. She is an exceptional professional, highly dependable, and her voice is amazing. She brought her own equipment and was on time and ready to sing. She coordinated her attire with my wedding colors. She was easily accessible by email and returned each message promptly. She was also available by phone. However, my preferred choice of communication was by email. Payments were easy as I used Paypal. Her fees are affordable. I highly recommend Ms. Dawkins. My husband and I were very pleased with her services.

I cannot say enough about Valerie Dawkins and what an amazing vocalist she is! The music she provided for both my wedding ceremony and reception was exceptional and added the perfect touch to the perfect day. Valerie sings with passion and incredible skill. She is versatile and incorporates music of many genres into her repertoire. Her ability to flow well with musicians proved very helpful on the day of my wedding, as she ended up singing with a piano accompaniment that was unplanned. If you need a professional and experienced vocalist to sing beautifully at your wedding, you will not go wrong with Valerie!

As a bride you're constantly worrying about what to do and what could go wrong with your wedding. Scrambling around to find a vocalist for my wedding, I thought about Ms. Dawkins whom I've seen sing at several weddings. I asked Mrs. Dawkins to sing at my wedding and she didn't hesitate at all to saying "YES". Not only was Mrs. Dawkins on time she volunteered to sing a pre-wedding song while my guest waited FREE OF CHARGE! She sung as if I was the Queen of England. Her voice is so powerful! I was overjoyed! My husband and I are SO grateful for Mrs. Dawkins contribution to our BIG day! Book with Mrs. Dawkins, you won't be disappointed!!!!
