Moments of the day
Music through every part of your day
A warm acoustic voice-and-guitar set that fits around the events of your day — lunch, wedding ceremony, drinks reception, dinner, or any other moment.
The ceremony
The bridal entry, the vows, the recessional. Songs chosen with you and timed to your key moments, in coordination with your priest or celebrant.
The cocktail hour
Two hours of live music while your guests find each other. Positive music that uplifts the room, never loud enough to cover a conversation.
Lunch and dinner
Gentle accompaniment through the meal, or a moment between the different events of your day.
Repertoire
Three languages, over 250 songs
Édith Piaf / Adele / Amy Winehouse / Arijit Singh / Frank Sinatra / The Beatles / Françoise Hardy / Elvis Presley
Folk, pop, soul and French chanson — as well as my own compositions. We choose the songs together, from my repertoire.
If a song matters to you and isn't in my repertoire, I'll have the pleasure of learning it.
When your guests don't speak the same language, I move between them across the set — a French song, an English one, a Hindi one — mixing the classics with more recent songs so nobody is left out.
Listen to my original songs on Spotify, Deezer and other platforms.
Write to me for my full song list.

"Sumana is as talented as she is professional — attentive, kind and deeply human. On the day, her performance was quite simply magical: our guests were won over, and we received so many compliments about the music."
Paula & Landry — drinks reception"Her voice is absolutely magnificent. She sang in Indian, English and French, and our guests were completely mesmerised. Beyond her incredible talent, Sumana has such a beautiful, warm aura — something graceful and genuine."
Zak Carey — drinks reception"Sumana is extraordinary — an incredible voice and a complete artist. Thanks to her the cocktail hour was both warm and full of life. Very professional, very responsive — I recommend her without hesitation."

Common questions
Three questions I'm often asked
For anything else, write to me — I'd be happy to speak with you.
How many guests can you sing for?
I provide sound for up to 70 guests. Above that, two options: either your venue has a system I can plug into — the most comfortable for your guests — or I bring an extended PA. Tell me the guest count and the venue, and I'll tell you what works.
Where do you travel?
Anywhere. I've sung in Normandy, Champagne, Provence, Corsica and Morocco — I go where I'm invited. Travel is included throughout Île-de-France; beyond that it's quoted in advance, never left open.
Can we choose the songs?
Yes — I'll send you my repertoire, over 250 songs, and you choose from it. If a song isn't on the list, I'd be so pleased to learn it, and I'll sing it for you and your guests.
