I met Aria in high school through mutual friends of ours who were involved in the New Orleans musical theater scene. The first time I heard her sing at a wedding was when I was standing as a bridesmaid for one of those mutual friends, and Aria's voice came floating down from the choir loft of our high school chapel. It was poignant, beautiful and just stunning to hear how my friend's voice filled that chapel. I knew then and there that if I ever got married, I had to have Aria sing at my wedding. Sure enough, when I got engaged, she was the first person on my list to call. Aria is so considerate and thoughtful when she guides brides through selecting their music. She's very informative and knowledgeable, but is careful to lead the bride towards what will be personal and significant to HER wedding. With her years of diverse experience in all sorts of settings, she is also a helpful resource for decisions to make outside of singing. You ask her anything, and she's got a couple ideas in her back pocket! But I haven't even mentioned the performance. The simplest way for me to describe it was that I felt blessed. Blessed to know Aria and her mother Giovanna, blessed that they could be at and a part of my wedding, and blessed through their beautiful music. The guests at my wedding, religious or not, made a point of telling me how beautiful the music was. At the very minimum, Aria is a vocalist whose singing is an absolutely beautiful and memorable part of any wedding, religious or not. At the maximum, Aria is a trusted advisor who will create a beautiful, memorable and sacred ceremony for both you and your guests.
