Rachel Reid - Singer and Harpist

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.

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.

Rachel is amazing. So many people saying how beautiful the music was. We had Rachel in the church and the reception. Guests who travelled from overseas were amazed by the harp and the Irish style and even more so hearing modern songs. Rachel was so professional and easy to deal with in the build up. I honestly couldn't speak more highly of her. :)

Rachel played and sang at our wedding in May of 2023 and did an absolutely phenomenal job! She was so incredibly talented. Her list of song recommendations were perfect and she performed them flawlessly. Our wedding guests could not stop raving about her! Thank you so much for all that you did in helping our wedding go by without a hitch.

Excellent music and fantastic to work with for our wedding. Would highly recommend.

Rachel has the most stunning singing voice and she is a beautiful Harpist. Our wedding ceremony in City Hall Dublin was made so perfect by Rachel's music and she has such a wide variety of songs to choose from, it was all so easy to pick our songs we love. All of our guests were so impressed by her.

Rachel performed for our ceremony and drinks reception and we were so delighted with her. We had so many guests comment on how great her voice was and the music she played at the drinks reception. She was so lovely to deal with in the run up to the wedding and always quick to respond.

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 wonderful! Very easy to work with, responses quickly to emails, was very helpful answering our queries, and the music was beautiful on the day- several guests commented on how gorgeous her voice is. We have no hesitation in recommending her!

Rachel was absolutely amazing for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. I would 1000% recommend her!

Rachel played at our wedding ceremony and I couldn't praise her enough. She sang and played beautifully. Rachel was always extremely helpful in the build up to our big day and had no issues with learning new pieces that we requested. So many of our guests commented afterwards on how beautiful the music was for our ceremony.

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 is a singular talent on the harp with a fabulous singing voice to match. She is also very easy to work with and thoroughly professional. She helped make our wedding extra special. We highly recommend her!

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!

Rachel was such a pleasure to work with,my family and friends still talk about lovely music in church. Thank you.

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.

Rachel did a fantastic job at our wedding. The music was amazing and we received loads of compliments from guests at the wedding about her music. Thanks Rachel for helping us to make the day as special as it was!

Rachel absolutely blew us away at our wedding! She did several songs that were not on the traditional list with ease which made the ceremony so special for us.she was a pleasure to deal with and nothing was a problem. Highly recommend her.

Rachel was a joy to deal with from start to finish. We found very professional and nothing was too much bother. Rachel was very responsive to all our messages and was happy to learn any music that we may have wanted for the day. The guests all commented on Rachel and how amazing she was on the day. We can't thank Rachel enough for being part of our big day and helping to make it so memorable. A huge thank you to Rachel from Caroline and Claire

Rachel played for our wedding ceromony and drinks reception last week. Prior to the day, Rachel was so professional and helpful. She responded to questions or requests almost immediately. On the day, Rachel played all of our requested music absolutely beautifully. All of our guests commented on how unique and captivating her music was. It reay helped create the atmosphere we had hoped for on our special day! We would definitely recommend Rachel for any occasion!

Working with Rachel from the moment we booked in with her to the morning of our Wedding was fantastic! No request was too big and she always came back straight away with any questions I had. The amount of people that commented on the music and the singing from both Rachel and R?isin N? Bhriain after the ceremony, was unreal..."magical" was one word used....The real recommendation was when a friend of ours who is getting married next year asked for her contact details for her Wedding! Highly recommend Rachel...thankyou once again for being part of our special day!!

We had Rachel for our church music as well as the drinks reception and we could not recommend her highly enough! Guests were raving about her all day and could not believe it was the same person playing the harp and singing. Rachel is a pleasure to deal with, very professional and we were delighted that she was part of our big day.

We had Rachel play at our wedding and all I can say is amazing she was so helpful and always replied to my many emails quickly I am so glad we had Rachel play at our wedding and would highly recommend her to anyone

I highly recommend Rachel. She performed at our church ceremony. She has a huge list of songs and also kindly agreed to learn our favourite song (and did a wonderful job of it). 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 absolutely beautiful music for our ceremony and drinks reception. So many people commented on how the music set a beautiful tone for the day. Rachel was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish and was always on hand with advice when needed.

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.

Rachel was so lovely to deal with, she made everything so easy from start to finish. And her music is the most beautiful I've heard. Her voice and musical instrument are wonderful together.

Amazing voice, Amazing talent.
So happy we chose Rachel to sing during our ceremony. Wanted a very classic vibe to our wedding music and the harp along with her voice certainly gave us that. Cannot wait to get our wedding video back so can listen to it all again.

Rachel has the voice of an angel. We are delighted we chose her as she made our special day very memorable.
Thank you so much Rachel

Rachel plays the harp wonderfully and has a beautiful voice. She made our wedding day all the more special. We were delighted to have her perform at our ceremony. Highly recommend her.

We had Rachel for our wedding and she was superb. I had music I love that were not on Rachel's list and there was absolutely no problem with them being played on our day. I really really enjoyed the music element of the day. Thanks Rachel!

Rachel was a true professional from start to finish.. Guests were blown away by Rachels voice. Truly the voice of an angel : ))

We were so happy with Rachels professionalism and efficiency. Highly reccommended

Rachel played the harp and sung at our wedding ceremony and it was a truly amazing experience. She has an absolutely incredible voice and having her made our ceremony ever more special. All our guest commented on how wonderful she was. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

We had Rachel sing and play the harp at our civil ceremony on Friday and she was absolutely fantastic. Rachel was very flexible with our songs and even learned a song especially for us. I would highly recommend Rachel

So many lovely comments about Rachel's music and her voice from our guests. Her voice is elegant and compliments the harp beautifully. She was really easy to work with and was always super responsive to emails and queries. I'd highly recommend Rachel when you're looking to book your musician.

Lovely music, very happy with service provided.

Rachel is an amazing musician and her music really added to the emotion of the day. She was so easy to deal with and nothing was an issue. Don't hesitate in booking this angel as she is worth every penny and more x

Joanne & Martin September 2016

Rachel was very professional in all our correspondance leading up to the wedding. She learnt a song for us for the ceremony. She also played at our reception venue.

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.

Hi Rachel,
Just want to say thank you for performing at our wedding in Star of the Sea Church, Sandymount. You did a fantastic job and everybody was commenting on how beautiful you sang and played the Harp.Thank you for making it a great Day for us.Best wishes

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

Hi Rachel, sorry this is very overdue but Stephen and myself would like to thank you so much for the wonderful job you did at our wedding on 23/4/16. Sorry we didn't really get to talk on the day but the music and your singing was just beautiful and really complimented our church and ceremony. I'm so happy we decided to book you! Thank you for making the journey to Wicklow.

Thanks again Rachel, the music was absolutely beautiful and I really appreciate you learning Magic for me. Our guests were complimenting your music all night.
Thanks again xx Lubna

Rachel played in the church for our wedding in October and also played for a couple
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! :)
