Hi Cathy,
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you and your sisters for doing an amazing job of the singing at our wedding. Your beautiful singing helped to make the ceremony even more special. Every guest commented on how wonderful the church music was. Thank you again, I am so thrilled I made the decision to have the Vards sing at our wedding, it was definitely the best choice I could have made. I don't think it would be possible to top your performance! Many thanks again. I am attaching a couple of the professional photos of yourselves from the wedding.

Dear Cathy,
Hope you are all well. I'm sorry it has taken me this long to write and thank you, Wendy and Lisa. I just wanted to say that I was totally blown away when I heard the first song The flower duet my dad and I were in tears walking down the isle. The music throughout the ceremony was truly amazing and for me my favourite part of the day. My mom had been at a wedding twelve years ago you guys were singing at and I remember her coming home saying Aimee these girls have to sing at your wedding when your big!! My guests enjoyed every second and are still raving about you. So..I cant thank you enough Cathy and please pass on to the other girls.
Take care, Aimee and Ger and Families. Thomaston Church 27th November 2009.

Dear Cathy
Cathy, Wendy and Lisa, I and John would like to thank you for making our wedding ceremony an experience we will never forget. You couldn't hear a pin drop in Clonakilty Church during your performances. One guest commented that they felt like clapping after every song and felt bad for not doing so!. I must say that your help in the selection of songs was perfect and I was so glad that I went with your recommendations. Your music and voices totally complemented the whole ceremony.
Thank you again
Best Wishes

Owen and I would like to thank you and your sisters for making our Wedding Day so special. The music that you all provided was the highlight of our Day, something that we will always remember.
Our guests were speechless with ye're sheer professionalism and amazing voices, and are still talking about it.
Church music was important to us as we wanted it to set the tone for the rest of our day so I immediately booked The Vard Sisters. And I was not disappointed, I will never forget my walk up the aisle I was overcome with emotions by the unforgettable sound (I actually cried).
Cathy was very helpful and offered me some great advise on hymns for the mass - I had other ideas which she took on board and together we worked it all out. It was PERFECT.
Thank you all so much.
Mr & Mrs Rynne, Ennis
I will never forget the feeling of sheer joy and excitement when myself
and Dad walked into the Church. I had pictured hearing you sing the songs
we had selected but I wasn't quite prepared for just how amazing it would
be to hear them in person. It was truly magical. Thank you so much not
just for your professionalism but for being a joy to deal with and for
truly adding to the atmosphere on the day.
In fact think the "testimonial" above is closer to how special it was -
feel free to quote me
Have a wonderful Christmas.

Hi Cathy, Wendy and Lisa,
We just want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making our Wedding Day the most beautiful and prayerful day of our lives. When those doors opened and I heard you sing Nella Fantasia all my nerves went away and I smiled the whole way down the aisle to the altar. Your voices are truly a gift from God and I am so glad that you could share them with us and our guests in Sligo on October 24th 2009. All the guests were blown away by the music, so many said it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony they have ever been to.
Thank you again.
Hope to see you in New York some time, let me know if ye are ever on the other side of the pond.
God Bless,
Love

Hi Cathy,
Firstly, my sincere apologies for the delay in contacting you - we were fortunate enough to have a long honeymoon so only just arrived back a few weeks ago and have since been settling into life back on earth!
Anyway, what can I say, only YE WERE FANTASTIC and I thank you for intensifying the entire experience for Nick and I, and for our guests. Your performance was not only excellent it was amazing. From the moment the music started it was incredible, your voices filled the Abbey, it was perfect. For the rest of the day, all our guests were complementing the beautiful singing and we are still hearing the raving comments about your singing and music.
Thank you so much Ladies, for making our day so special and spiritual. Thank you also for all your advice and your time taken in preparing. We would recommend without any hesitation.
Very best wishes to such talented ladies.
Kindest regards
Judith and Nick
Just a quick note to say thank you so much to Cathy, Wendy and Lisa for making our wedding ceremony in Rathfarnham Church on 7th Aug 09 so very wonderful. It was such an amazing day, which was set off to perfection by your accompaniment at the church.
We really appreciate everything you did to ensure an unforgettable occasion; from your very professional and helpful advice on the songs, hymns and music that would suit the day, to the performance at the ceremony itself. It was a welcomed relief to know that once we had discussed it, that everything was then left in your hands for the day, and you delivered it to perfection. It truly was breathtaking.
And although I was confident I would enjoy and appreciate it, I wasn’t quite prepared for the reaction of the guests, who were, without fail, blown away.
Our heartfelt thanks to each of you for making our wedding ceremony truly memorable.
With best wishes

Hi Cathy,
Just mailing you to say thank you so so much for your beautiful singing on our wedding day. It really added to the atmosphere of our wedding Mass and so many people commented on the music afterwards. Such beautiful voices and such beautiful harmonies! Walking down the aisle with my Dad was a very special moment for me and hearing your beautiful performance of 'Nella Fantasia' made it even more special. I still get shivers down my back when I remember it! Ian and I would highly recommend you and the girls to anyone choosing music for their wedding Mass. I was so sorry I missed you after the Mass because Ian and I really wanted to thank you for everything in person.
Thanks again Cathy,
Best wishes to you and the girls,

Cathy
Sean and I would like to extend our sincere thanks to you and your sisters for your beautiful music at our wedding on May 22nd 2009 in Kilquade Parish Church. As you may have heard the priest say, I got very emotional coming up the aisle to Nella Fantasia which continued as you sung Eagles Wings! The tears kept flowing! Both Sean and I and all our guests were overcome by your voices and accompanying instrumental. It was so moving. We can't wait for our video - the highlight of the day being the ceremony and in particular your music.
Cathy, on a personal level you were a pleasure to deal with in helping us select suitable music. We would have no hesitation recommending you to friends or family in the future
Emer and Sean
Hi Cathy, Lisa & Wendy
I just wanted to say that you were just amazing at our wedding. From the minute you started to sing Nella Fantasia as I was walking up the isle everyone there just froze when they heard you sing (& I don’t think I’ll ever forget that moment). We had goose-bumps listening to you at the altar during the service and it made our wedding so special to us. In fact people at the back of the church thought that we had a CD of you singing because each song was just perfect, they got a nice surprise when they came up to the altar!!!
Thanks again and for being so friendly and helpful in the weeks before our wedding. I would definitely recommend you to any bride & groom who wanted to make their wedding ceremony spectacular. Wishing you all the best for the future
"We wanted to let you know that you did an outstanding job in making our wedding a very special day that we will never forget. We can’t thank you enough. Your dynamic personalities, along with your singing and entertaining abilities really made the guests feel "right at home". You coordinated everything beautifully. Since we have been back from our honeymoon, several guests have called and said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Thanks again for everything...We’ll never forget you."
Cathy and Roger O’Donnell
"We want to take this time to say thanks for sharing our wedding day, we hope you enjoyed it and had plenty of fun, and hope you are over that 47 degree sun. We had a blast and hope you did too, cos` you played a part in our brand new life. Thank you for playing a special part in our ceremony with such beautiful singing, we greatly appreciate all your help and hard work, it sounded amazing. Thank you."
Georgina and Nicky Byrne (Westlife band member)
"We wanted to thank you all most sincerely for singing at our wedding a few weeks ago in Glasthule church. I cannot tell you enough how beautiful both the singing and music was and how it made the wedding ceremony just so memorable not only for both of us but also for our families and guests. We greatly appreciate your input with regards the selection of the right songs. So many of our guests both local to Dublin and from further afield were so impressed and have been highly complimentary about your beautiful voices, one guest described it as "closing your eyes and feeling like you are in heaven".Thanks again for helping to make the day so beautiful and kindest regards for the future"
Rebecca & Paul
Thank you for playing and signing such truly beautiful music at our wedding mass in Carrigeen Co. Kilkenny on the 3rd of November 2007. David and I have reflected on our wedding day and I can say without hesitation that your singing really made our day special. Many of our guests said afterwards that the music in the church was breathtaking and that they will never ever forget your voices which sounded like angels singing. Thanks again for your professionalism and for helping us select our songs. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Vard sisters to any other couple for their wedding day.Kind regards,
David and Mary Lawlor
"Thank you all very much for singing in the church for our wedding Sept '07. It was absolutely amazing. So many people have said to us since that the singing/music in the church really set the day off to a brilliant start."
Breda & Albie Fitzsimons
Thank you so much for traveling to Drumraney Church on October 29th 2007. I really wanted the ceremony to be talking point of the wedding, as that is the most important part. I was so glad that we had asked you to sing at our wedding for two reasons firstly and most importantly because the singing was really fantastic and professional. Everyone commented on it and were trying to sneak a peek at you. The second reason is that you were so nice to deal with nothing was a problem and you really were open to anything that we wanted. So thank you for making our day so special. I knew I didn’t have anything to worry about from the first day I spoke to you.
Best Wishes,
Gillian and Brian MacMahon
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for the amazing contribution you made to our wedding ceremony in Bohernabreena on September 15th 2007. When we think of our wedding mass, we recall the beautiful singing, full of emotion as it really was breathtaking. The mass music for me was very important to get right, and the support I received in choosing my songs was excellent. I found you to be very flexible with the arrangements for songs I wanted.
To all engaged couples planning your wedding you must book the Vard sisters!
Amanda & Paul Brennan
Stephen and I can honestly say that your music and fantastic voices were the icing on the cake for our special day last September 20th 2007 in Glenealy church Co. Wicklow. Not one guest let the day pass without mentioning how moving the music was during the church service. We cannot thank you all enough for being so friendly and professional and most of all so so brilliant! We both would (and already have) recommend you as a must for anyone looking for that wow factor on their special day,
Thank you again, Emma and Stephen
We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to The Vard Sisters and musicians for providing us with unforgettable music at our recent Christmas wedding in Ashford, Co. Wicklow. It is without hesitation that I can say, the ceremony was the highlight of the day. All of our expectations were surpassed and what a start to the day! The reaction we received from guests was phenomenal, several of them have since purchased your Heavenly album. It was a pleasure to deal with you in every regard, thank you so much for making our ceremony a truly memorable celebration.
Kindest regards,
Catriona & Ken Coyne
Magical, Enchanting, Unique, and Memorable are just some of the words guests used to describe your singing on our day. People are still talking about how emotional and heart felt the ceremony was and how your beautiful voices filled the church with warmth and love. One of the highlights of our day was the church and your beautiful singing. Derek and myself don't know where to start in thanking you for helping us to create one of the best days of our lives. I wasn't nervous going up the aisle as I could hardly wait to hear your voices welcoming me in to the church. Your guidance in picking the correct songs was invaluable. Our gratitude and happiness goes beyond words. Thank you again for helping us create a day that we will definitely remember.
Derek and Michelle Mulveen
Dear Cathy Lisa and Wendy
Thank you all most sincerely for supporting us at the launch of Anam Cara , your voices lent their own magic to the evening and were as always so beautiful. you left hardly a dry eye in the house. I think Miriam O’Callaghan was heading back to RTE to look for a spot of camouflage make-up before venturing onto the set of Primetime. Needless to say the song spoke to most of us very profoundly and we were deeply deeply moved. Your presence and wonderful singing played no small part in the success of the evening and we were honoured to have you as part of it and remain hugely grateful
Many many thanks to you all
Kate Burke.
"We wanted to say thank you so much for singing at our wedding service. You were absolutely fantastic and I know (ourselves included), that most people in the congregation wanted to applaud you after each piece. You were great to deal with and your direction in terms of music was spot on. Both ourselves and our guests were so impressed and you definitely featured as one of the highlights of the day! "
Emma and Brian Winters"

PS.. Sorry we did not get to meet with you.
Ladies,
Just a note to say thank you so very much for the beautiful singing at our wedding in Abbeyleix Church last October. From the moment I entered the church I felt all my nerves fleet away when I heard your beautiful voices singing “Nella Fantasia” – From that moment on I knew that the ceremony was going to be everything I hoped for, and it was.
Myself and Kevin thoroughly enjoyed the singing and it really helped us to take time out during the ceremony to relax and really remember what the day was about. Your rendition of “the Prayer” after communion had so many moved to tears – it was truly special and I will remember it always. Our guests still talk about the beautiful, moving music on the day and I really just wanted to thank you most sincerely for all your advice, guidance and reassurance in the run up to the big day.
We look forward so much to hearing you sing again at my sisters wedding this December, as do all our family as we know you will again make the ceremony so memorable and special.
All the best in the meantime,
Kevin and Rhona

Dear Cathy, Wendy & Lisa,
This email is so long overdue. You sang so beautifully at my sister Anne's wedding in Clonown Church, Athlone, on Sept. 27th last. It was such a memorable, wonderful occasion and all the more special by having you there to share it with us. You are still the talk of the Parish!! - all complimentary Anne and Declan are happily settled in Roscommon and looking forward to a special Christmas. Many thanks again for your beautiful singing, hopefully when you go on tour again we will meet up. Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.
Best Wishes,
Kathy
Cathy,
Just a quick e-mail to thank you again for such a beautiful performance in Dromoland Castle on January 9th, 2009. Everything was absolutely perfect. You made the ceremony! It was so emotional but extremely special at the same time. To be honest, I don't have words to express how delighted and privileged we felt to have you sing at our wedding. Every song was sung with feeling and absolute perfection. Its very difficult to choose a favorite but because I shed a tear to The Voice of An Angel, that is definately one song that will stay with me forever. So, thanks so much!
Regards,
Sarah
Cathy
