or two to make our day perfect for us. She infused her personality in to many songs, truly making them more beautiful and memorable. Lia played during our prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour. She nailed all of it! Guest after guest commented on her beautiful voice and song selections. She created a total vibe and even had us (the bride & groom) spontaneously dancing alone to a few songs during our cocktail hour. I cannot recommend Lia enough!

se she adds a personal touch to the songs to make them feel like her own. She's so talented and makes such a great vibe for a wedding.
Aside from her artistry, she is also very organized and made her communications really count - she covered all the things she needed early on, and then delivered. This was a really nice relief because leading up to the day of it can be so crazy answering everyone's last minute questions - Lia was one of our vendors who made things very easy.
I highly recommend Lia.

Over the last couple of years my wife and I have been treated to the wonderful singing of Lia Menaker.
Our first experience was at our 50th wedding anniversary party where she san...
g the song “Follow Me” by John Denver. We had not heard it so beautifully sung since our wedding day.
Inspired by that experience, I invited her to sing at two community events celebrating women who had given so much of their time and talent to caring for children in the community. Her rendition of “You are the Wind Beneath My Wings”, the Bette Midler song, brought the house to their feet with applause.
Singing is a gift to be shared.
With grace and beauty Lia is in tune with both chords.
Lia sang at our wedding and I cannot praise her enough. She is professional, she dressed appropriately to the reception, both charming and engaging and kept the dance floor movin...
g the entire evening. Lia has a beautiful voice and sang many variations of music and her ranges never skipped a beat. Like with many venues sequences of events can change she immediately picked up on it which went unnoticed to our guests. I’d hire her again and again.
Lia made our ceremony the ceremony of our dreams. We told her the vibe we were looking for, gave her specific song requests to play at very specific times during the ceremony and s...
aid no more. She executed it all perfectly and made my walk down the aisle even better than I could have imagined. Lia not only played during our ceremony, but she wrote and composed an original personal song for me and my husband! I did not plan on doing a father/daughter dance because my father is no longer with us, so it was the perfect place to have her play piano and sing the song she wrote, so that it could be shared with all of our friends and family. Not a dry eye in the venue. So many of our guests complimented her voice and wonderful surprise of the original song, celebrating me and my husband. Lia will forever be one of the most favorite parts of our entire day.
We had an intimate backyard wedding and during the cocktail hour between the ceremony and the reception, Lia sang and played keyboard. She let us choose the set list and was kind a...
nd responsive throughout the whole process. She brought all her own gear and we didn’t need to worry about a thing. The guests absolutely loved the entertainment, she is fabulous and so talented! With stunning vocals and dreamy piano accompaniment, Lia creates precisely the magical romantic atmosphere that you want at your wedding. Book her now, you will be so happy!
