THANK YOU so much for thinking of us! I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to introduce myself when you were here although I definitely got a few chances to hear you sing. We LOVED having you here. The members absolutely loved it and so did the staff! I actually gave you a call a couple hours ago. I'm so glad you reached out. We would love to book you for the 21st. In fact, I'd love to get you on for January too if possible. The team and I looked through your brochure and liked the idea of an "Old Fashioned Christmas" theme. Could you tell me more about that and if you have any availability in January?

Carole McNeil has the voice of an angel. We are so blessed to have Carole as a part of our special day. We knew we wanted live music, and happened to see Carole’s ad on Craigslist. She is professional and so genuine. Carole sang during our dinner hour, which included our first dance as well as our dance with our parents. Prior to our wedding, we were able to see Carole sing at the Crocodile Restaurant & Bar here in Santa Barbara, and couldn’t have been happier that in just a few short weeks, she’d be singing at our wedding!  We love Carole and are so grateful for the opportunity to work with her! Thank you!

Always a pleasure to hear you sing!

Carole,

Wow!  We were just at La Dolce Vita tonight and I was amazed when I realized the music we were listening to was not a soundtrack but a live singer!  You started with Whitney Houston and I sat there the whole time with my back to you telling everyone at my table that Whitney has the best voice and I could listen to her all day long...and it wasn't Whitney..it was you!!  Anyway, thanks for a wonderful evening...the food was great but your singing made the night!  I think you should be on Broadway or in Vegas.  I feel honored to have you in our neighborhood restaurant.

Dear Carole, 

Thanks for your note back.  Everyone who saw my Colorado photos wanted to know who the beautiful woman in pink with the microphone was!!!

Have you performed on Broadway?  You have the talent for it!  Hope to see you there again next month.  Take care and God bless... Go out and share your gift.  You will be well received by an appreciative audience.  Carole, the world should know your name!

Thank you for the gift of your music during our ceremony and reception.  Your voice added just enough to make our wedding perfect.  Thanks again, we greatly appreciate your part in our special day.

Carole was hired to DJ a special event in January of 2017, a forty year surprise anniversary party and renewing of vows.

She sang special songs by Karen Carpenter, Whitney Houston, Josh Groban, and Celine Dion. She was absolutely wonderful. Much was asked of her and perfection was delivered.

I waited a couple months before writing this review in order to receive feedback from our guests. All the comments have been extremely positive such as; “What a beautiful voice!”, “What an amazing range!”, “I couldn’t believe how well she sang “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston”.  Carole was instrumental in making our anniversary a night never to be forgotten.

Carole,

What a great luncheon all thanks to your glorious songs and voice.  I know the membership enjoyed all the Christmas songs.  Have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season!

Everyone I talked to loved your performance. You really have a soothing voice. You should join “The Voice” show.

Dear Carole, 

Thank you so much for the music CD!  You have a beautiful ,clear and lyrical voice!  I listen to it almost everyday!  My favorite is "Breath of Heaven"

Thank you for the update on the CD's . Looking forward to hearing and playing them on my radio show . What part of California are you moving to ?. One of my best friends and former school buddies is living in San Diego and I am sure he will also be captivated by your music. If you would like I can put you in touch with him and his family . They are lovely people . I will send Bob, my friend some of your songs . He is constantly asking my wife, Marie and myself to come and visit them in San Diego . Now that you are moving there we could also catch one of your shows when we get around to making the trip. Best of luck with the big move .

Do try to tune in sometime to my radio show via the web on www.kfmradio.com

So thankful for you Carole, your beautiful voice, and your loving soul! Thank you for sharing. Miss you in our lives.

Dear Carole, I miss you!  And so do so many other patrons who loved hearing you sing
for us at the Marisol.  I hope you are doing well.  Thank you so much for the lovely card and CDs you dropped off for me before you left.  I think of you often and reminisce with returning and inquiring guests about you. So many people ask about you.
If you ever are in the area and would like to perform I would love to have you here.  I would love to have your new CD if possible.

Carole,

I hope you will continue to perform and share your gift. I will be anxious to hear and see you again some day. I enjoyed The Cliffs and Santa Maria Radisson times I saw you.

Best wishes to you and yours...

Hi Carole,

It was such a pleasure to hear you perform and get to meet you.  It was so unexpected to hear such quality anywhere...We look forward to seeing you again.  I surely did enjoy flying with you.

Hello Carole,

Just one of your fans from the Radisson wishing you and yours a happy new year, and hope all is going well.

 As I was sitting in my room here at Diego Garcia, catching up on emails and listening to some of my music, I played some of your songs and thought of the first time I saw and heard you at the Radisson.  Still enjoying the sound.

Oh, Carol Thank you for making our 35 years of marriage a special occasion with your God gifted voice!  We know that the night we met you and your family it was a special God ordained night!  We love you and if you're up Templeton way, give us a call.  You are truly gifted and we soooo recognize it!  Thank you and may God bless you and your family!

There's a new Singer in town...

Hi Carole

The love of my life played your CD for me while riding in his car.  I loved it and every time we listened to it, it brought me to tears...two songs "There's a time for us" and "From This Moment"...I told him that if..when we ever get married you will be the one to sing. 

I was in Denver last week...on your birthday...I would have met you if it was not your birthday...maybe next time...I live in the Philadelphia area...just know that you have touched my heart with your songs and your voice.  He gave me your CD and I listen to it often.  I hope to meet you someday...you can sing your songs for us...

You are a delightful individual, and I'm feeling blessed to have met you.  Matt was totally blown away, just seeing you at the front door.  Then your song, and the truffles! Yikes those are great!  So thanks again.  I'll be telling people about how cool you are.
