Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 10, 2018•From Madison, WI
Rachel played the harp at my daughter's 21st birthday at the Edgewater Madison.
She was very easy to co-ordinate with. She took care of the setup on her own by communicating with the event manager at Edgewater. I did not have to do anything but give her the contact details. Also on the day when she had to play, the weather was very bad but she still made it in time and was ready when we arrived there. She also surprised my daughter with a happy birthday music as my daughter walked into the place. Would recommend her to any event. And will definitely book her services again.

Rachel and Terri were fantastic! To help us choose our music, Rachel played for us over the phone (because my fiance and I couldn't make it to Madison for an in-person meeting). She helped us select the perfect music. I appreciated their humor and flexibility, and of course their top-notch musical talent! I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Rachel & Terri were absolutely fantastic at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Rachel was amazing on both the piano and harp and Terri rocked the violin. They were easy to work with, open to our ideas/requests and had many suggestions of their own. We even had the chance to meet them prior to the event and have a personal mini-concert to hear them play. Rachel & Terri were able (and very willing!) to learn two songs specifically for our event AND rehearsed with our singer! Our guests raved about the quality of the music and it added a very romantic and personal touch to our event. We HIGHLY recommend Rachel & Terri for ANY event you may be considering.

Rachel and Terri were an absolute blessing to us! We knew when we met with them before the wedding that they were a perfect fit for us. They were professional, yet very laid back. They were open to playing a variety of genres. The best part was that they put together the playlist and adjusted the timing accordingly. I did not have to give them an exact, detailed timeline of events or need to know how many steps the aisle was. They adapted to the speed we were walking and the length of time each couple took walking down the aisle. It was such a burden off our chests knowing they would adjust as the ceremony went. I should mention that they are both amazingly talented!

Rachel provided the most beautiful harp & harp/violin duet music for our outdoor commitment ceremony. All the guests were commenting on how fantastic the selections were (and she was very accomodating to our requests). She was punctual and played until the last guest filtered into the reception hall. Very friendly and easy to work with; I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for an amazing harp experience at your wedding or other event.

Rachel & Terri are absolutely incredible. They are so easy to work with, and they made our wedding ceremony beautiful. They agreed to work with a singer (the bride's sister) to help make it even more special for us and were so flexible and open to our ideas. They have such a passion for their music, and they're so knowledgeable and professional in what they do that we never had to worry about anything. Thank you so much - We are forever grateful. You two are amazing and we will be recommending you to absolutely everyone we know!

My wife and I had a private dinner to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Rachel played the Harp during our dinner and it was wonderful. Her presence at the event made the evening better than we could of ever imagined. Thanks again, Rachel, for making our special night all the more enjoyable.

Rachel and Terri were very professional and accommodating. They even learned a new song just for our ceremony. I was impressed with their library of songs and the help that they provided us in choosing songs to include. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

we had the harp and the violin play during the wedding ceremony and then during cocktail hour. They were absolutely perfect for the event and gave the ceremony a sense of elegance. During the cocktail hour they hooked into the DJ's amplification system and that worked great. Absolutely beautiful. They were truly professional And easy to work with!

Rachel and Terry were absolutely delightful to work with. They both are top notch musicians and performers. Their music made the wedding! The one thing that sets them apart is that they are genuine and caring people; they made sure that all was well, every step of the way.

These two ladies were amazing, and everyone loved the music at the ceremony - they were professional and kept playing as if nothing were wrong even when we got the flowergirl and junior bridesmaid out of order (one was supposed to be the cue for my entrance, but the girls went out of order!) All the guests loved the wide range of music, and the ambiance was perfect for an outdoor wedding! Thank you SO much, Terri and Rachel!

Rachel Avery played the harp at my wedding ceremony. I did not have specific songs I wanted played at the ceremony so she arranged a meeting with me to help me get ideas. She is a very talented musician. She got to the ceremony site early and worked through the cues for music with my officiant. Everything worked out perfectly!!

Rachel and Terry were wonderful musicians. I appreciated that they gave us a mini free concert with music requests prior to hiring them. They also found a great vocalist Briana who are guests were very impressed with. I will highly recommend all 3 of them to friends and family.

Rachel and Terri sounded beautiful at our wedding in the Atrium room at Olbrich gardens. I'm sure they would sound lovely anywhere, but I think this was a particularly good venue for them. They were both professional and relaxed, as well as super easy to work with--I would definitely use them again. Thanks, Rachel and Terri!

Rachel is an absolute professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone desiring a harpist for their wedding or event. From inception to completion she was more than accommodating and went above and beyond with even assisting me in finding a photographer three days before my wedding! Her skills as a harpist, in both song selection and ability, are second to none! My husband and I are incredibly grateful for the lovely ambiance that was created by her presence. She is a true talent and quite a gem. Our day would not have been complete without her. Thank you for everything Rachel!

Rachel played a Celtic harp for my wedding ceremony and for the cocktail hour of my wedding reception. She knew the music very well and recommended songs that fit the feeling of the day. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the music she played was. Rachel was on time for the event, did the research about how to set up in the church and was very easy to work with. She always returned my calls and even agreed to meet with my husband and I for a 9:00 pm meeting! That was above and beyond what other other vendors would have done and I would definitely recommend Rachel for other events. Thank you Rachel for helping us have the day we dreamed of!
