She has a beautiful voice and her guitar playing accompanies it perfectly. In advance, she enabled me to select songs that my guests would enjoy. She was very aware of her audience and made a fabulous atmosphere for the party. People greatly enjoyed her music and numerous guests remarked on how wonderful her performance was. She created a marvelous connection with everyone in the room from the two year old to the ninety three year old. I highly recommend Rachel."
