"Sherrie was an ideal choice for this cruise as she is so well-known and loved for her television appearances in “Coronation Street” and “Loose Women”. Her after-dinner talks were done to packed houses and there was nothing but very positive feed-back. I interviewed her together with the celebrity dancers and the guests were thrilled with her behind-the-scenes anecdotes. She gladly posed for photos and signed innumerable autographs. During the 4 days of her cruise, she was practically an Ents. Officer. She danced and mingled so effortlessly and regularly with the guests that I was bowled over. Very highly recommended." - Suzanne, P&O Cruises
"Sherrie was brilliant, people couldn’t wait to see if it would be their table she’d be joining. She joined a family celebrating a 60th birthday, which is surely one they’ll never forget. She was most engaging, really warm and a pleasure to work with. Time wasn’t an issue, Sherrie would chat to whoever wanted to chat for as long as they wanted, it was commented how approachable and friendly she was. Her tales of her career went down a storm and many people have contacted us since to say ‘thank you’ for bringing her to Preston." - Mark, NWL Chamber of Commerce
"The dinner went very well and I have had nothing but positive reviews on Sherrie. She was lovely to talk to and so warm and welcoming towards all guests at the drinks reception and then during the dinner. On a personal note I was delighted to meet her and my mother in law was such a Benidorm fan she had plenty of photos with Sherrie on the night (Sherrie was only too happy to oblige!). Her 20 minute stint was very funny and I scanned the room – most (if not all) had a good laugh at what she talked about. It can be a very tricky room to capture and Sherrie did just that. It is in light of the above that I wanted to thank Sherrie and yourselves – Sherrie made for a very memorable night." - Emma, Chartered Insurance Institute
