Becca played piano for our holiday cocktail party and she did a phenomenal job! Her Christmas music repertoire is extensive and her talents definitely provided the ambience and vibe we were looking for. She's friendly, professional, and really took our party to the next level.
Becca did a fantastic job!
Response from Becca Darling Music:
What a pleasure to play for y'all, Ida! I especially appreciated your attention to detail - when the weather picked up and got iffy I had all the contact info I needed to stay on the same page and get where I needed to go. Thank you for having me and welcoming me into your home!
Becca is absolutely the finest pianist/vocalist I've ever had the pleasure of sharing a stage with.
Always prepared and very punctual every time I've booked her.
Can't say enough fine things about her!
Response from Becca Darling Music:
It is always a pleasure to play on stage with you, Bryan! Thank you for the music, the friendship, all of it. :)
Becca played for our wedding ceremony and did a wonderful job. I had multiple guests tell me how much they enjoyed hearing her play both before and during the ceremony. Becca even learned a Persian song for us to keep with some special traditions. I highly recommend.
Response from Becca Darling Music:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Elise!
She is always early and does a great job. Very friendly and fun to work with.

Response from Becca Darling Music:
Thank you for letting me be a part of your special event! I felt so spoiled getting to play on that wonderful grand piano - and how to fun to accompany your friend you asked to sing "All Things Together"!
Congratulations to you both!!
Becca formed a wonderful jazz band. All of the musicians were very talented!! They played for 2 hours and played songs that fit perfectly into the Mardi Gras theme. Becca also sang during some of these and has a powerful soulful voice! We appreciate the hard work that her and the other musicians put into the show. Thank you!! Highly recommend for anyone that is looking for Party entertainment!
Becca provided beautiful background music for our event. It was a special evening and she added the perfect touch! Her range of piano selections encouraged everyone to relax and enjoy.
Thank you, Becca. You are a talented and classy lady.
