What people are saying about Rachael...
"We had the absolute privilege and pleasure of having Rachael perform at our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour/dinner, and first dances. Throughout the entire wedding planning process––from our first contact to her magical performances on our day––Rachael was extremely friendly, thoughtful, and communicative. After a couple of discussions, she took our preferences and crafted a beautiful soundtrack for our day. Rachael has a great repertoire of pieces, and was also more than willing to add in some new ones to accommodate requests we had. Rachael’s music added such an elegant touch to our day, and our guests could not stop (and still cannot stop) raving about how amazing she was! Her presence and talent truly elevated our special day. If any couple is considering hiring a harpist or live musician for their wedding (or really any kind of event), Rachael is the perfect choice. Thank you for everything!"

"We have heard Rachael play at four weddings - her performance is always a highlight of the ceremony. We were so grateful that she was able to play at our daughter's wedding. She looked like an angel and sounded heavenly. It was beautiful."

"Rachael set the tone for my entire wedding! I picked several songs that were close to my heart and not only did she learn and perfect each one, she also created a set that fit with my selections to play before my wedding so that I didn't have to hand select each one. I loved going to watch her play the week before and hearing every song played flawlessly ensured me that the music at my wedding would be perfect. I could not have picked a better artist to work with."

"My elderly friend usuallly sits uninvolved and passive. When Rachael came to encourage him by playing her harp, he was transformed and so was I. This child is gifted beyond her years."

"Considering the young age of Rachael Stone, her harp playing has a depth of maturity and an advanced musical flow. Her hands have the ability to create a powerful presentation of both sacred and secular music that will keep you captivated and wanting more.
I highly recommend that churches, Christian business meetings, business organizations, company groups, or whomever, secure the anointed, musical services of this talented and blessed harpist."
