Rebecca Swett- Harpist For All Occasions

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!

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 initially hired to play on our wedding several months before the event. She was a pleasure to work with. However, only 5 weeks before the wedding she called to cancel on us without any reasonable explanation. She tried to set us up with another harpist which was friends of hers. That friend only contacted us after I sent her a message to her website only to tell us she would charge us $180 over what was already agreed. She was so condescending to us. Now I am 3 weeks away from my wedding still no musician to play for us thanks to Rebecca and her lack of commitment. We never heard back from her except for the reimbursement that she did. We never had a reasonable explanation to why she couldn't play as the contract stipulated. Maybe she overbooked? Who knows! We will never know! Highly encourage all brides to think twice before hiring her and signing a contract with her. I my experience a contract does not mean anything to her.

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.

We could not be happier with the performance, professionalism, and overall 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.

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!

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!

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!!
