“Guests commented constantly about how wonderful the musician was.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie made our wedding day perfect. We had a long engagement, and she met with us and worked with us for over a year before the event. Sammie was quick to respond to emails and texts and always took time to make sure we knew that she cared about her role in our big day. We changed our first dance song and she learned the new one and performed it beautifully. Guests commented constantly about how wonderful the musician was and were so impressed with her song selection and performance. We love her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, personable live performer for an event.

“Sammie was the best vendor we had for our wedding.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie was the best vendor we had for our wedding. We received so many compliments about her music and a lot of our guests took her card. Her singing was amazing, she was easy to work with and super friendly. She was probably our favorite part about the wedding

“Sammie was communicative, accommodating and kind throughout the whole wedding planning process!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie was AMAZING!! I’ll never forget when my fiancé and I started dating and I saw Sammie perform on the voice back in 2017 and I messaged her on Facebook asking her when I get married if she would perform at my wedding and she replied “ofcourse!” and now here we are 5 years later! Sammie was communicative, accommodating and kind throughout the whole wedding planning process! She coordinated with my DJ about all the logistics (since we live in FL). She sang for our guests at cocktail hour and did our first dance songs with us and our mom and dad. She is by far one of my favorite vendors I worked with. This type a bride HIGHLY recommends Sammie Zonana to play @ your wedding!”

“We loved every minute of the live music!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We hired Sammie to perform live music during our ceremony & cocktail hour. We loved every minute of the live music! Many guests commented and asked about her while enjoying the evening. Leading up to our wedding Sammie worked with us to select song options and offered to learn new songs to make our day extra special. I highly recommend hiring Sammie for your event! Thanks for making our event memorable.

“We could not have hired a better performer…her timing with all the songs during the ceremony were perfect.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie was wonderful, and we could not have hired a better performer. For our wedding in December she sang for the ceremony, the cocktail hour and our first dance. Besides letting us pick what songs to sing from her list, Sammie also learned two songs just for us (Simply the Best and Rose of Sharon)! On the day of our wedding, Sammie arrived early to set up all her equipment, her setup was great, and her timing with all the songs during the ceremony were perfect. She was very professional and so very sweet to me and my beautiful bride. When we found her online we immediately loved her voice but when we heard Sammie on our wedding day we were blown away. Her voice is so beautiful! I lost count of how many guests approached us and asked us where we found Sammie and complimented how wonderful she sounded and performed. Thank you Sammie, our wedding was perfect and you were a big part of it! We are telling everyone we know about you and I hope one day we can hear you sing again!

“Probably the best part of the day beside me marrying my wife.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie was absolutely amazing at our wedding! Probably the best part of the day beside me marrying my wife. From picking the songs to going over the plan for the day to her singing the day of the whole thing went so smoothly and she is so wonderful. All our guests kept asking where we found her and were super impressed. Would 1000% recommend her for any event. Thank you Sammie for helping to make our day so special. We love you!!!

“We worried people might leave when the amplified music turned off…I honestly think we had MORE people on the dance floor while she was playing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie did an amazing job playing our late-night "acoustic hour" at our wedding! We were a little nervous when we found out that the DJ could no longer play the last hour of our wedding due to Austin city ordinances for outdoor weddings. We worried people might leave when the amplified music turned off! We hired Sammie to play the final hour + our private last dance, and I honestly think we had MORE people on the dance floor while she was playing. She played a variety of current fast and slow songs on her guitar and sang beautifully while walking around the dance floor. It was such a unique and special moment, like having a private concert just for us and our loved ones. Sammie was punctual, kind, creative, and just an all-around joy to work with, too. She brought such a fun and positive energy to our reception and our guests totally loved her! I'll never forget feeling like the only two people in the world dancing while she played a gorgeous rendition of "The Book of Love" at the end of the night. I would hire her for an event again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her if you want to feel so special on your wedding day. Thank you, Sammie!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing! Spectacular! Phenomenal! Awesome! Just a few words to describe our experience with Sammie! She is so kind and sweet....her talent is unique and extraordinary! Sammie helped make my proposal a wonderful memory that my fiancé and I will never forget. Sammie was so dedicated.... the weather turned out to be bitter cold and windy, but that didn't stop her from delivering a beautiful performance. Her lovely voice helped to make it such a memorable event that we will always treasure. Thank you so very much Sammie!!!!

“I literally hid in the hallway of our chapel before walking down the aisle just to hear her sing…”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First of all, words cannot describe how amazingly sweet and talented Sammie is. Our wedding would not have been the same without her unique voice. My husband and I knew we wanted live music for our wedding, and after searching through various vendors we came across Sammie on the Knot. Her rendition of "A Thousand Years" got me. Her voice literally brought me to tears. At that moment we knew we wanted her to perform at our ceremony. Her live performance at our wedding was so much more perfect than I would have imagined. In fact, I literally hid in the hallway of our chapel before walking down the isle just to hear her sing. From the beginning it was a pleasure to work with Sammie. She was very responsive, flexible, professional, kind and gracious. Across the board, she was extremely professional and easy to work with, and I received compliments about her from our other vendors as well. We feel blessed to have had such a talented artist perform at our wedding. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Sammie for truly making our wedding day special.

“She is an exceptional talent and top-notch professional.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie was a highlight of our wedding!! She is an exceptional talent and top-notch professional. Our guests raved about her, too. She was one of the very first vendors we booked and that couldn't have been a better decision. She even learned a few Taylor Swift songs for us (Wildest Dreams & Daylight), which we were so grateful for. Hire Sammie - you absolutely will not regret it!

“She left me in tears! She even let my son sing an impromptu duet with her.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

While attending a friends bridal shower, I was wowed & blown away with Sammie’s voice and immediately got a card from her. We hired her for our wedding and she left me in tears! Sammie was extremely easy to work with. We communicated back and forth regarding music selections and timing and she executed everything right on time! She even let my son sing an impromptu duet with her; she sang a Bruno Mars song and my little one came out of nowhere and joined in! He's a HUGE Bruno Mars fan and Sammie adjusted the mike and allowed him to sing along with her. I have already recommended her to two other people. Having the ability and willingness to learn new songs specifically for our wedding allowed us to put our personal stamp on the music selection. I really cannot say enough wonderful things about Sammie.

“Her voice is amazing and her vibe is so relaxed and easy to work with”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie was absolutely fantastic. She played for a champagne/oysters happy hour at a bridal shower I hosted, and I will absolutely be booking her again. Her voice is amazing and her vibe is so relaxed and easy to work with. She's incredibly attentive and professional, and a complete pleasure to work with. I highly recommend booking Sammie for any party/shower/wedding - she can do it all.

“Sammie does a great job with transitions and cues and really has the MOST beautiful voice!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie has the voice of an angel! When we were planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to have some specific songs that meant a lot to us incorporated into the ceremony processional and recessional. She created her own rendition of them for us and they were beyond beautiful and perfect! She is so easy to work with and patient with any questions we had. Sammie does a great job with transitions and cues and really has the MOST beautiful voice! I feel so lucky she was able to play at our wedding and I would 10000% book her again. Thank you for being such an important/perfect part of our day Sammie!!

“Her upbeat attitude kept me sane throughout the planning process and on the day of”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie is flawless. I can't say how amazing she is - she made our ceremony so special. She sent me some clips of her practicing the songs we chose, and my mom and sister cried, and walking down the aisle to her singing is one of my favorite memories of my wedding day. She has the most beautiful voice and passion for her work, and her upbeat attitude kept me sane throughout the planning process and on the day of, when she was completely chill and willing to make adjustments and work flawlessly with our other vendors.

“As the mother of the bride I could not have been happier.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie was everything one could want in a wedding singer- talented, professional and so friendly and helpful! She worked with the bride on song choices and her performance was perfect! But the BEST part was that beautiful voice! As the mother of the bride I could not have been happier. I highly recommend Sammie for ANY occasion where a professional singer is needed. She absolutely rocks!

“Sammie was the catalyst in setting the perfect musical vibe that my wife and I had envisioned for our ceremony and cocktail hour.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie was the catalyst in setting the perfect musical vibe that my wife and I had envisioned for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Sammie was extremely accommodating for the planning aspect and whatever our expectations were she blew them away 1000 fold. Such a wonderful, raw, and amazing talent and wish I could make an excuse to have another reason to hire Sammie again!!! We had looked at numerous people to hire for our wedding but once we heard Sammie's voice all the other contenders were immediately knocked out of the running, kind of feel bad for other artists in the Austin area because Sammie has set the bar so high. 6 months after our wedding and I still catch myself throwing on Sammie's video on YouTube to relive the moment my wife started to walk down the aisle. I will forever be indebted to Sammie for her contribution to my perfect day. To sum it all up, Sammie is the best, shes accommodating, has such an amazing eclectic choice in music and its obvious she cares about her craft which she has mastered.

“She did a slam dunk job on all 3 of the songs she customized for us.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sammie was a joy to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process, from the day we first found her to the day she sang us down the aisle. Her voice is ethereal, and so many of our guests commented specifically on how unforgettable her vocals were during our ceremony. She did a slam dunk job on all 3 of the songs she customized for us. If you're looking to create a unique and authentically Austin wedding, look no further than Sammie!

“After our ceremony at least 75% of our guests commented how crazy amazing she is and asked us how in the world we were able to book this super star.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m not writing this as an obligatory vendor review. I’m writing this because Sammie is absolutely amazing and everyone needs to know about it!! Sammie’s voice is OUT OF THIS WORLD. After our ceremony at least 75% of our guests commented how crazy amazing she is and asked us how in the world we were able to book this super star. If you’re not convinced yet just go to her website and listen. We hired Sammie as our ceremony musician. She played the guitar and ukulele and sang like an angel. We were going for a super unique and non-traditional vibe so she adjusted to that and played the songs we requested. She even turned an EDM song into an acoustic version. I cannot wait to get our wedding video back to listen to it again.

“There are not enough eloquent words for the respect and gratitude my husband and I have for her.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don't even know where to start with Sammie! Sammie played during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance at our wedding in San Antonio in November 2018. There are not enough eloquent words for the respect and gratitude my husband and I have for her. Sammie was overwhelmingly the most professional, sweet, and wonderful person I worked with throughout our entire wedding planning process (out of all our vendors). On top of that, she is so incredibly talented - and our wedding would not have been the same without her. Sammie was flexible, arrived early, worked outstanding with our other wedding vendors, and was just a dream for an anxious bride. Sammie was great before the wedding, always quick to respond, and had a very large repertoire of wedding and non-wedding songs (I sat and listened to them over and over on her YouTube channel leading up to the wedding!). Sammie even learned our first dance song for us just a couple weeks before the wedding, and performed it beautifully! We had so many guests come up during the wedding to ask about Sammie, and even ask for her name after the wedding, so they could check out her music. When I told my husband that I wanted live music, I could never have envisioned how magical Sammie would be able to help make our day. I cannot recommend Sammie enough - and cannot imagine my wedding without her. Thank you, Sammie!
