Rachel's music was a beautiful addition to our wedding ceremony which we and our guests were all impressed by. She was quick to respond to our initial enquiry and her YouTube videos were helpful when making our song selections from her extensive repertoire. Highly recommend

Rachel provided the music during our wedding ceremony and at our drinks reception and we absolutely adored every minute of it. We in particular enjoyed the variety of music during the ceremony; I walked up the aisle to Taylor Swift, we lit our candles to gaming music from the Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy, had one of the main Lord of the Rings themes during our ring warming and finished the ceremony to Jason Mraz! As well as being a captivating performer, Rachel herself was so lovely to work with and honestly made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. Would absolutely highly recommend her services!

Rachel was nothing short of absolutely wonderful.
I first came across her on instagram and instantly fell in love with her incredible voice and beautiful music.

Rachel was a pleasure to deal with and we were so grateful she even learned a song for us that made our wedding all the more special.

All of our guests commended the stunning ceremony music, including the cocktail hour.

Now, when I think back to all the lovely moments in city hall, I have Rachels fabulous music playing in my head. I will never forget it!

So grateful for you Rachel, thank you from us both for being so amazing!!

We just wanted to thank you very very much for your lovely music on our wedding day. I’m sorry that I didn’t get a chance to thank you on the day – it was all a bit of a whirlwind to be honest! Your music during the ceremony was perfect and just what we wanted. The harp sounded amazing in the room and all our guests commented afterwards on how great you were. Thank you for being part of making our special day so perfect.

Her voice is absolutely breathtaking. So many of our guests are still talking about how amazing and talented she was.
Rachel was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and we were so happy we chose her to sing some of our favourite songs at our ceremony. We genuinely couldn’t have wished for anyone else.
Thank you so much again Rachel from the bottom of our hearts. You have the voice of an Angel and made our special day one to remember.

What can i say about Rachel, firstly the level of professionalism she has pertaining to her job is inspiring. She remained in constant contact with us on the run up to the wedding and helped us in regard to song choice which is always difficult between a couple. The process itself was easy with Rachel. On the day she performed outstandingly and we lost track of the amount of times our guests told us how wonderful she was, myself and my new wife could not have been happier with how everything went on the day and can only say that without Rachel performing how she did it would not have been so perfect. Thank you Rachel.

She was able to learn a Welsh song on the harp especially for our wedding and she playing it amazingly. The music for our ceremony and at the drinks reception was just perfect.
She was a real pleasure to work with.

Rachel is amazing. So many people saying how beautiful the music was. We had Rachel in the church and the reception.

Rachel was absolutely amazing, as was her accompanying violinist Hazel Alexander.

She has an incredible range of songs in her repertoire and we had a great time going through her backlog deciding on the perfect songs for our wedding ceremony. She was also so accommodating with our song request and played it beautifully on the day.

All of our guests commented on how gorgeous the music was, and couldn't believe that she was playing harp and singing at the same time!

Thanks Rachel.

A massive thanks to Rachel for playing at our wedding ceremony. We were so delighted with her beautiful performance on the day. We had a mix of both religious and contemporary music which sounded amazing on the harp, and her beautiful voice was an added bonus.
While we're sorry we didn't get to talk to her on the day, we did notice our guests chatting to her outside the church, and they later told us how wonderful they thought she played. She was so lovely to deal with in the run up to the wedding and was quick to respond to any questions we had (despite having just had twins!). She is a very talented musician, we would highly recommend her!

Rachel was part of our day in December 21. Every single guest mentioned how stunning her performances were and how beautifully she added to the day. Her presence was a huge part of setting the tone we wanted for our day and added so much atmosphere. Her gift is so special, and she is amazingly talented. Fabulous voice and a huge selection of beautiful song from a broad range of genres. She played at both our church ceremony and the reception at the venue after. Very different vibes between them and both were perfect. Thank you Rachel!

Rachel was a fantastic harpist and singer for our wedding last Saturday. She always responded promptly to any correspondence and was very professional. We had a specific version of a song we would like played at our ceremony and Rachel took the time to learn that version for us which was very special. Rachel has a wide repertoire and we were able to include lots of different genres in our ceremony which was lovely. Rachel also stayed for our drinks reception and played Christmas music which really added to the ambience of the day. All our guests thought she played and sung beautifully. I can't recommend Rachel enough! She should definitely be everyone's top choice of musician!

I couldn't recommend Rachel enough! She was just so lovely and accommodating on the lead up to the day. We had to postpone by a year and she was so understanding. She even learned our favourite song which is pretty obscure so that was so impressive!

On the day, she made our ceremony complete. Such a beautiful singing voice and fabulous harpist. There wasn't a dry eye in the house!

Even before our wedding day, Rachel impressed us with her prompt responses and willingness to learn new songs - I had to suggest that she would charge us extra because we were asking her to learn so many new songs! Rachel's playing and singing really enhanced our wedding ceremony and you could have heard a pin drop when she was performing. I particularly enjoyed Ave Maria and Songbird and my husband loved your instrumental of Gabriel's Oboe. Thank you Rachel for helping to make our wedding ceremony so personal and beautiful. I'm only sorry that I didn't get to meet you on the day, but I hope you saw me thanking you and you had to realise that you had the whole church spell bound.

Rachel recently played for our church ceremony. We had seen her play at a friends' ceremony previously and contacted her immediately to see if she was available for our date. We were delighted when she said she was. She sang and played beautifully and so many of our guests were complimenting her afterwards. We asked Rachel to play a mix of modern and typical church hymns and asked her if she would also learn a special request: Metallica - Nothing else matters for the signing of the register which she did without any hesitation and it was beautifully executed - was lovely to hear Rachel's version played on the harp. Rachel was an absolute pleasure to deal with and extremely responsive to emails, nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend Rachel to any future wedding couples.
Response from Rachel Reid - Singer and Harpist
Thank you so much Tara for those lovely words, you are so kind! I loved the Metallica piece so it’s been added to my repertoire list now :) It was so lovely to meet you again at Jing’s wedding & I’m glad you are enjoying married life, thank you so much for having me xx

We can not thank Rachel enough for singing at our ceremony yesterday. From the moment we made contact with her she couldn't have been more helpful and flexible. Given the current times, Rachel was so patient and understanding of all the chopping and changing we were doing, right up to the very last minute! She has an amazing repertoire of songs to choose from and even sent out a list of what songs work best for each part of the ceremony which we found so useful! And that's all before I even mention her voice! If you want shivers down your spine as you walk down the isle (and let's face it, who doesn't want that!), then Rachel is the musician for you! Thanks so much again Rachel, you really were such a huge part in making our ceremony so magical :)

Rachel was amazing! Unfortunately,we were let down by our original harpist due to Corona virus. However, she very kindly organised Rachel to replace her. It was two days before the wedding and Rachel came to the rescue at very short notice. There was one song for the procession that she had never done before but she learned it and it was unbelievably amazing. She sang it so perfectly. Even my dad got very emotional when he heard her and couldn't get over how well Rachel sang it.
Everyone commented on how amazing she was.

Thank you Sinéad, I was only delighted to help out! That really meant a lot to me that your dad loved the song, it’s those moments that I love about this job! It was a really special ceremony, I’m so glad I got to be a part of it :) Best wishes to you both, Rachel

We were lucky to have Rachel perform the music for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception just before Christmas. From our first contact Rachel was so helpful and professional. She always responded so quickly to all emails. Her repertoire of songs is vast and we were delighted that she also had a separate Christmas list of songs too! We included some of these in our ceremony including O Holy Night which gave me goosebumps in the church! Thank you Rachel for being part of our day!

If it were possible to give Rachel more than 5 stars I would. We first found Rachel on weddings online 2 years ago when we were trying to book ceremony and reception music. Many family wedding had been having string quartets and we just wanted something a little different we found Rachel, her reviews and her website and we were blown away! Rachel was so professional in her dealings with us, she replied to every email in such a timely manner and gave us so much information including a full song catalogue to choose from. Not only that she was there to help answer queries like how many songs do we pick or what is suitable to play and where during the mass. Simply put she was fantastic to deal with and ever so friendly and flexible particularly when covid 19 struck and Rachel provided us with reassurance and support.

In terms of talent, Rachel was just unbelievable I could honestly listen to her play and sing all day long. Rachel has a wonderful voice and I am so looking forward to our wedding video so I can listen back to her singing during our ceremony. We have received nothing but compliments on Rachel's performance from guests who have attended our wedding and reception and Rachel even went so far as to learn an entirely new song for our recessional. It was beautiful I cannot urge you enough to check out her Facebook page and to listen to her play and sing. I would 100 percent recommend Rachel to any couple looking to book an extra special talent for their wedding day or for an extra special event. you will not regret choosing Rachel ! I am so glad we did she was the most wonderful addition to our wedding day and I will never forget walking down the aisle to my husband with goosebumps listening to Rachel sing.

The day after our wedding at breakfast, the most asked question to my new husband and I was "Who was your harpist/singer? She was amazing!"
Her music added an element of magic to our wedding that you will understand when you hear her play/sing.
I was probably quite fussy - We love our 80s music and had to have some in our ceremony. Rachel played Only You by Yazoo, The Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood/Gabrielle Aplin and a Harp/Acoustic version with vocals of Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now. She adapted these beautifully and I will never forget her music.
I asked Rachel to play a longer drinks reception than normal and her repertoire is brilliant and included some lovely Christmas songs too.
I now know how important communication is with your suppliers. There were a few hairy moments where we didn't know if we could have had Rachel play due to Covid restrictions - She was an excellent communicator, responded really quickly and was really friendly and human - which was exactly what I needed.
I would be very happy to recommend her to a friend and confident that anyone would be delighted with how she plays and sings. Thanks Rachel!
Response from Rachel Reid - Singer and Harpist
Gina, your review nearly had me in tears, thank you so much for your kind words. You have been through more than most couples so I really admire your positive attitude throughout the whole planning process.

We booked Rachel for our church music and couldn't be happier with the service she provided.
Due to Covid we had a number of changes in terms of venues and time's etc and Rachel accommodated us with no fuss.
Rachel has a vast repertoire which would cater for all tastes. Her music is classic and understated and made our ceremony feel really special.
Rachel is very talented and professional at what she does and we have no hesitation recommending her.
Response from Rachel Reid - Singer and Harpist
Thank you both so much for such lovely kind words, you’ve made my day! it was a very special wedding, especially as it was my first wedding since March due to Covid. Thank you for the lovely memories, I’ll never forget that happy day :)

The amount of people that commented on the music and the singing from both Rachel and R?isin N?

I have the best experience with Rachel from start to finish. The music in the church was very important to me and Rachel could not have been more accommodating... She gave me her list and when I had a special request she immediately emailed back that it was no problem at all. She is just lovely to deal with. The church music at a wedding is always something I pay attention to as I used to play at weddings myself and having the harp and Rachel's voice would bring a tear to your eye. I recommend Rachel so highly for a couple who want a classical touch to their ceremony!

We found her harp music really soothing and relaxing in the church. She was recommended by my friend who is an excellent wedding singer too (but couldnt do it due to having a newborn), so I considered that high praise indeed! Rachel was also excellent value. Loads of our guests complimented the music. We couldnt be happier with our choice to have her perform at our wedding.

Rachel provided the music for our wedding ceremony and it was incredible. All of our guests loved it and some who were not Irish and had not heard the harp before are still talking about it weeks after.
She was recommended by a friend. She is a true pro and very easy to deal with. We were provided us with a long list of music suggestions for us to choose.
In addition we requested a song for the newlyweds walking down the aisle - ' love me til the end' by the Pogues which she sang beautifully.
My new mother in law described the music as enchanting and I agree.
Thanks again Rachel, Mark and Pamela.

A lot of last minute concerns plague you on your wedding day, Rachel was not one of those concerns! Highly recommended.

She truly set the ambience and filled the room with the most beautiful music making our day as amazing as it was. We are delighted that we choose Rachel to help us with our celebrations. We can't recommend her enough.

Rachel was a delight to plan our wedding with. Most importantly her harp playing and singing were exquisite with many guests commenting on how lovely it was to listen to her.
Prior to the wedding I found Rachel made some very helpful suggestions which we incorporated into our wedding. The fact that she is usually more experienced at weddings than the wedding party themselves is handy!
On the day itself Rachel was always where she was supposed to be and allowed her music to do the talking for her.
We would thoroughly recommend her for your wedding.

We had our wedding in Dunlavin church and reception at Rathsallagh house. We were delighted with Rachel's music. She played and sang beautifully in the church and added greatly to the atmosphere. Our guests all commented on the beautiful music. It was fantastic to have someone so talented at both the harp and vocals. We would highly recommend her. She has a wide repertoire to choose from including both classical and modern music.

Hi Rachel,
I cannot thank you enough for making our day extra special, your professionalism and talent goes beyond words. My brother who was one of my best men said "I was very emotional during the build up, and when the harpist started to sing I just had to let go".? Also all the guests were talking about you right till the end of the night and still today people are asking about you. You are an amazing talent and I wish you every success in the future. So from me, my bride Joohi and all of our guests, thank you.

Kindest Regards,

Mr and Mrs Mark and Joohi Malone

We chose Rachel to perform at our wedding as we had heard her play before at a friends wedding, and we were spellbound. To say she was truly amazing on our day is an understatement. All our guests were singing her praises. She created a beautiful atmosphere for our day, filling the church with awe inspiring music and song. She was outstanding from start to finish, such a pleasure to deal with, and incredibly helpful and creative. You will not be disappointed if you book Rachel for your wedding.

Very pleased with all songs. Rachel was punctual, easy to work with, very professional, all sorts of music. The only thing, my wedding ceremony was outside and my guests told me that they could't hear the music well, so I suggest a microphone, especially for outside, but the same for inside. The music was beautiful, so was a pity they couldn't hear it well.

Absolutely fabulous. Rachel was very professional from the moment we booked her. We asked Rachel to sing & play the harp for both the church ceremony and the drinks reception after. Her unique sound left our guests amazed and her version of songbird brought a tear to many eyes. Rachel went out of her way to make both of us feel at ease with music choices and learned a song specially for us. Our guests continue to compliment our ceremony and Rachel's angelic voice. Very good value for money. I highly recommend

We had a wonderful wedding day, made all the better by Rachel's music. We opted for a more traditional bridal march (Pachebel's Canon) and wanted a contemporary song (Elbow's One Day Like This) for walking down the aisle - both of which were no problem for Rachel.

Her list of music was really wide ranging, there would be more than enough variety to cater for anyone's wedding. A lot of the guests told us they loved the music, one guest even noticed songs from Lord of the Rings!

Would definitely recommend Rachel to anybody looking for a harpist and/or singer for their wedding.

Rachel was fantastic on the day.. Her singing and music were fabulous.. Ceremony music was beautiful, as was the reception music. Just a little bit of advice maybe... If you are having a big crowd at your wedding make sure that there is a microphone in the reception area so the music will be heard by the guests.. It would be a pity for the guests not to enjoy such talent..

Of hours at the drinks reception. The church music was really beautiful and definitely added a lovely atmosphere to the church - the priest was a big fan!
As we were busy taking pictures I missed hearing her at the drinks reception, but a lot of guests told me how lovely the music was - Rachel played a really nice mix of church appropriate music for the ceremony and more relaxed/well known songs for the drinks reception - I would definitely recommend! :)

Rachel sang at our wedding and did an incredible job. There were some last minute changes due to the weather and she handled them like a pro and was very accommodating to our requirements. She has a beautiful voice and her solo during the ceremony was one of my highlights and had the whole bridal party in floods! Also, we were on a budget which she accommodated but the quality of her voice and attention to detail really exceeded our expectations. She was highly punctual, reliable and communicative and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any couple looking for some really special music for their special day. Thank you so much Rachel :)
