Rebecca is the best! We had her play the harp 30 minutes prior to our wedding ceremony as well as during the ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful. She is such a sweet person and so talented and has a wide range of music she is able to play. We received numerous compliments from our guests saying how much they enjoyed the harp music and how wonderful it was. I highly recommend Rebecca!

She was fantastic! We had an 88th birthday party for my mother who loved the harp player. She played through most of the party and only needed one short break. She was very flexible with us and even did a spontaneous happy birthday party Song when the kids decided to sing happy birthday. She was awesome.

Rebecca is a complete dream. She is extremely lovely and incredibly talented, and she was so helpful as we thought through music for our ceremony. She was incredibly accommodating and was very helpful as we selected music. She's also incredibly prepared - had her rain tent ready to go when the skies opened at our wedding in Lenox. I honestly couldn't recommend her more highly!! She's an incredibly talented musician and an absolutely delightful person. :)

Rebecca was outstanding, she even learned new songs for my son's wedding, including the opening from Game of Thrones which was big hit with my son's crowd. Would absolutely recommend her.

Rebecca is so talented! I knew right away that I wanted a harpist for my ceremony, and I searched high and low until I found her! My husband and I went to go meet with her and pick out our songs. She has so many options to choose from! She played anything we asked to hear and was so accommodating. She did a great job on the day of our wedding and really started our night off on a great note! She's very passionate about what she does and I highly recommend her!

Rebecca did a wonderful job with our wedding ceremony. She was so wonderful helping us pick out our wedding music and was very quick to respond to any emails and any questions. She even elevated the entire wedding by performing a song with my cellist father and all the guests commented on how beautiful it was! I would 100% recommend her!

I hired Rebecca to perform at my future daughter-in-laws bridal shower. She was wonderful to work with. She played music that appealed to everyone., classical to modern. All of our guest commented on how much they enjoyed her being there.I would highly recommend her for your next event....

Rebecca Swett played the music for our wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour last fall. When we think back to our wedding, Rebecca's music is one of the first things we remember. And same goes for our guests. Her beautiful music and courteous, professional behavior stood out to us. Wedding planning was a very stressful experience for us (two very introverted people!), and our initial meeting with Rebecca reminded us that this was supposed to be a fun and joyous event! She worked at length to help pick pieces that resonated with us. We found her very easy to talk to, and she genuinely cared about our experience. On a more "practical" note (unintended pun), her price was very reasonable, given her talent and flexibility. We wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca to anyone! And we hope to have her play at another event for us in the future!

Rebecca is wonderful to work with. Due to living out of state, a crazy schedule with school and work; communication done mainly via email. Rebecca is more than accommodating. She is professional, communicates well and in a timely manner. Our guest were impressed with Rebecca and we are still hearing compliments of how Terrific Rebecca is. Rebecca went beyond and gave an impromptu music lesson and answered questions to one of our younger guest who was very intrigued by the harp. After hearing all the wonderful comments; my one regret is not meeting Rebecca before the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony in the mist of the excitement Rebecca came up to me and personally gave me well wishes for our marriage instead of just leaving. That meant a lot to me. Rebecca was open to any musical request . My experience with Rebecca was stress free and made for a memorable Ceremony. I would highly recommend Rebecca and would use her again for another occasion in the future.

Rebecca was just amazing. Her performance at my Mom funeral service is carved in my memory for ever. Great Harpist. I can't Thank her enough.

Rebecca Swett played beautiful harp music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour - she really made the day extra special! As an amateur violinist who has played weddings myself, I knew I wanted to have high quality harp music at my wedding. Rebecca had an extensive repertoire to choose from, and I had so much fun meeting with her to choose music. There were a few pieces I knew I wanted, which she played beautifully. For the rest, we gave her some general style guidelines and favorite pop artists and she made lovely choices. Plus, we had an outdoor ceremony in October, and Rebecca was much more accommodating about chilly weather than other musicians I looked into. We got many compliments on the music. I cannot recommend Rebecca highly enough!

We recently had Rebecca play her beautiful harp during our 9/2/16 wedding ceremony. There are not enough good things I can say about Rebecca or how beautiful she made our ceremony. She is extremely talented as well as professional. She invited us to her home prior to the wedding and played many different musical selections for us to ensure that she would know exactly what we wanted. She had a huge selection of both classical and modern music and was also willing and able to play anything else we may have wanted. Rebecca was extremely kind and patience with us even when we had her playing for what felt like hours when we couldn't decide. Having her play during our ceremony made the entire wedding so special. Rebecca is a true talent with phenomenal skills and we feel so lucky to have had her at our day.
Casey D.; 9/21/2016
Rebecca was absolutely lovely to work with - we weren't sure exactly what songs we wanted for our wedding but she met with us for an hour and had excellent recommendations. The music was beautiful and I am so glad we had her at the ceremony. Go for a consultation and you will pinch yourself for ever thinking music out of a speaker would have been any comparison! Given everything you spend money on for a wedding this is something that's worth every penny!
Emily H; 9/17/2016
Rebecca was a delight to work with. She was accommodating, professional, pleasant and easy going. I was hosting a surprise event, and she was very conscientious and cautious to not ruin the surprise. Hopefully I have another event in the future where I can work with Rebecca!

We had an amazing experience working with Rebecca! We wanted our wedding ceremony to have that extra "wow factor" and Rebecca on the harp certainly provided that! We received so many compliments about how beautiful the ceremony was and we know that the music in the background created the magical ambiance! Rebecca met with us a few months prior to the wedding and kindly invited us into her home to go over music selections. She also provided the most affordable estimate and she is so talented at what she does. Thank you Rebecca for playing at our ceremony & cocktail hour!
Safiya S.; 7/16/2016
Rebecca was absolutely amazing!! She is extremely talented and very friendly - a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!!! Thank you Rebecca!!!

Beautiful!

We could not be happier with the performance, professionalism, and stress-free process working with Rebecca. She did an absolutely amazing job playing the harp on our wedding day at the Merrimack Valley Golf Club. Not to mention, the entire music selection process was easier than expected. She added great suggestions for making our ceremony a little more personal (adding in a short song between the vows and exchange of the rings). She played What a Wonderful World for us during that time, and it really did add a special element to the ceremony, especially since we weren't having readings to otherwise break up the time. Super friendly, very professional, incredibly talented. My husband and I highly recommend her!!

My husband and I came across Rebecca's harp playing services while searching for local harpists to play for our Groton, MA wedding at The Barn at Gibbet Hill. Rebecca was incredibly quick to respond to my initial inquiry. We were really impressed with her rates and repertoire of music and, based on our initial communications, we knew she would be a pleasure to work with. Not long after we decided to hire Rebecca to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour, she invited us to her home in order to hear some song samples and finalize a lineup of songs for the ceremony as well as a selection for the cocktail hour. Rebecca was incredibly accommodating and clearly took our desires (a mix of classic and modern songs) into consideration when helping us decide on songs - she helped to guide us to the perfect song for each part of our ceremony, which made living through the experience on the big day incredibly special, notably her rendition of "Here Comes the Sun" as our guests filed out post-ceremony (my husband is from the UK, so it was a great touch!). As we were a bit behind with planning the events of the ceremony, Rebecca was even kind enough to offer us suggestions about how to lengthen our non-religious ceremony. We ended up using one of her suggestions which was to use one of the songs we selected as a moment "for ourselves" in order to reflect on the moment and not worry about reciting lines or anything else. The day of our wedding was fairly chilly with temps in the low 50's, but I was determined to have an outdoor wedding. Despite the challenge colder whether presents for performing harpists, Rebecca toughed out the whether so I could have my dream wedding, for which I could not be more grateful. Sadly, because formal photos were being taken during the cocktail hour, my husband and I did not get to enjoy another hour of Rebecca's beautiful music, but our guests certainly did and the feedback were received on the music sample was glowing. Needless to say, I would highly encourage other local couples seeking talent for their ceremony to reach out to Rebecca - her tremendous talent is matched by her incredible customer service and will surely not only make your ceremony and reception wonderful, but will also make the wedding planning process that much easier!

My husband and I were so pleased with everything Rebecca did for our wedding. She was so helpful and easy to communicate with. Her music is just amazing and so beautiful. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Rebecca did an absolutely beautiful job playing the harp for our October wedding ceremony. A few months before we met with her at her home and she played anything we wanted to hear in order to decide the music we would play. She took her time and made sure we were competely satisfied with our selection. Rebecca was organized, easy to get in touch with and amazingly talented. If you are looking to make your wedding ceremony stand out, look no further.
Michaela D.; 1/10/2016
Rebecca played her harp for the time the chapel opened till the ceremony began. Rebecca then played songs we picked for the parents to walk down the aisle, the bridesmaids, and me (the bride). She also played during some parts of the ceremony that we picked and exiting the chapel. She played until everyone was out of the chapel. Her music is so beautiful. She also let us come to her home for her to play music for us. She played any Disney song we wanted! I would recommend her 100%!! I also saw her play at a friends wedding!
Geri K.; 1/09/2016
Having Rebecca Swett's music for our wedding ceremony helped to make it incredible for us and all of our guests. We had a wonderful time meeting with her to plan the music program - she was able to provide excellent suggestions and played a number of samples of her music. She was extremely easy and pleasant to work with during the whole process. She is also one of the most lovely and interesting musicians we have ever met! We are very thankful that we were able to have Rebecca as part of our wedding!
Monika B.; 1/09/2016
Rebecca is truly the sweetest and most professional person! We were so lucky to have found her for our wedding day. Before deciding to move forward, we had a long phone conversation where she explained her musical experience and the variety of songs that she could play on the harp. Then we had a Skype video call and she played multiple songs for my husband and I. She is very kind, prompt, responsive, and thorough. She helped us pick the most beautiful songs for our ceremony, gave us lots of great recommendations, and even learned to play a few new songs that we requested. All of the guests commented on how wonderful our ceremony music was and how the harp fit so beautifully with our rose garden theme. We highly recommend Rebecca!! Thank you so much!!

Our Wedding was a wedding against all odds with hurricane winds and chilly cold temperature... our prayers were answered when the rain stopped allowing the skies to clear enough to brighten up a bit...Originally our plans were to have a meadow ceremony which due to the hurricane we all gathered inside the church harpist Rebecca Swett performed... everybody was so impressed with Rebecca's performance at the church ceremony, we were asked at the cocktail hour and the dinner reception where she was, sadly we didn't arrange for Rebecca to perform after the church, that was our only regret because otherwise our wedding was perfect. We all recommend Rebecca Swett !!!

Rebecca did an AMAZING job at our wedding. She helped guide the music selection process in a very clear way, making it as smooth and easy as possible to figure everything out in one sitting! She even added great suggestions for making our ceremony a little more personal (adding in a short song between the vows and exchange of the rings). She played What a Wonderful World for us during that time, and it really did add a special element to the ceremony, especially since we weren't having readings to break up the ceremony! Super friendly, very professional, incredibly talented. Highly recommend!!
Terri K.; 9/12/2015
Completely satisfied with Rebecca's services. The harp is an excellent addition to a wedding ceremony.

Rebecca was a wonderful background melody to our wedding at the Pierce House in Lincoln, MA. She is as elegant as her music. We highly recommend her.
Rebecca was extremely accommodating with musical arrangements and never having done this before was excellent in helping direct us. She was very professional, timely and all of our guests were very impressed with the music. Highly recommend Rebecca and will definitely hire her again when I have the need.

Ms. Swett is an accomplished harpist. She plays all genres of music. She was recommended to me as I was planning my wedding. Ms. Swett invited me to meet with her to choose music. She spent 1.5 hours playing different music on the harp. Her suggestions (for example, to increase the tempo at the end of the ceremony to signal a transition) were perfect. I appreciate her expertise and experience. Ms. Swett was very professional in all of our discussions. She dressed as a professional for the ceremony. She is very flexible and personable. I had total confidence that she knew what I was looking for, even though I did not necessarily know what to request. I continue to recommend her services to all.
Theresa; 8/16/14
Wonderful selection of music. Even played requested songs we provided the sheet music for. Beautiful sound, beautiful to watch. Absolutely perfect. Our guests raved about her! Highly recommend.
Michelle; 5/8/14
Rebecca made our ceremony amazing and beautiful. She is an amazing harpist!! Would recommend for all and any occasion!
Geri; 10/12/13
Listening to Rebecca play her harp during our daughter's wedding was very special. Rebecca helped us with choices and certainly accommodated us with other pieces we wished to have during the ceremony. We still have our guests commenting on how they enjoyed listening to her playing. She brought tears to our eyes and I still have chills when I think back on our consultation and she gave us a personal concert. So beautiful and so worth having at your next event. Thank you so much Rebecca.
