Review by Olivia T.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 12, 2022•From Chicago, IL

We had Rachael play at our wedding (ceremony, cocktails, dinner) and she was the HIT OF THE NIGHT! She was absolutely incredible and all of our guests kept coming up to us and saying how talented, friendly, and fun she was. She would walk around to the different tables as people ate and play a mini concert for each. It was above and beyond our expectations. She was so easy to work with before the wedding as well, very responsive with emails and gave great tips on songs to play but was completely flexible with our vision. If you are looking for a phenomenal violinist, HIRE RACHAEL! We are so thankful we did and will absolutely be coming back for future occasions.

Rachael Miller:

Thank you so much!!!!!

Her attention to detail, her excitement for our wedding, her engagement with our guests, and just PURE beautiful talent. A few of my guests have already reached out to Rachael to book her for their weddings!! THANK YOU for all of it and more!!!!!! You blew our guests away and made everyone feel so special!!!

Rachael Miller:

Awww thank you so much!!! Your wedding was so beautiful!!!!

Celebration•Reviewed on April 9, 2019•From Chicago, IL

Rachael was absolutely fantastic for a proposal event that I was planning. We had communicated a number of times about a set time, place, the music, and the logistics regarding the event; she wanted to make sure everything was up to my planning and expectations. The event ran longer due to my fiance running late, but Rachael was a sport about it. My fiance loved the music she played, and the event was spectacular with Rachael's playing. I would highly recommend Rachael for any event that you are considering. She is very professional in terms of understanding your vision and exceeding it. I can't thank her enough for making that a memorable day for us!!!

Rachael Miller:

Thank you!!!
