Picking the right wedding singer for your special day is one of the most important decisions you’ll make! We met up with one of Yorkshire’s hottest wedding singers right now, Sarah Widdup to find out a little more….
When did you start singing?
I only started professionally singing 18 months ago but I’ve always sang
Wow, that’s a brave career choice
Well, I was learning the guitar and it seemed the natural thing to do. I loved singing and once my third child was in school full time I decided to make a career out of it. The first time I sang was at an open mike night and had so much fun! My first ‘official’ booking was at a friend’s birthday party and I haven’t looked back. It’s been an incredible couple of years and I am blessed to be doing something I love!
