• Rebecca Kauffman was WONDERFUL--the scores don't go high enough to adequately rank our satisfaction. She is polished, professional, and incredibly talented.

• Rebecca was wonderful and a huge hit at the wedding, she certainly created an ambiance that wouldn't have been possible without her. She was incredibly professional. I really don't know what else I can say besides, you won't regret hiring her, she plays like an angel. She worked with me through email to help choose the perfect music to fit my ceremony and even offered some helpful suggestions when I wasn't sure what to use. I really hope to work with her again someday. -- Kate J, Groton, VT, 6/25/2011

• I had not heard Rebecca prior to the event but she had a wonderful website with sound clips so that I could sample her music. The samples were amazing and the music was even more amazing live. Prior to the event, Rebecca checked in with me by email and phone. Everything turned out beautifully. -- Jennifer A, Burlington, VT, 12/31/2011
