Rachael Miller

We hired Rachael to play along with the DJ at our wedding. She is incredibly talented and was a crowd hit! I especially appreciated her willingness to spend time with me prior to the event to understand our vision. Rachael is outstanding and I highly recommend her!

Rachael provided the perfect backdrop music for our wedding. She played music we requested and provided a backing track to fill in the sound. She did a great job with our special request song!

I worked with Rachel this past summer at a wedding and was completely blown away. I’ve been a DJ for over 15 years and I also book musicians for a entertainment company and she is honestly the best, most dynamic violinist I’ve ever worked with! She played elegant, contemporary cocktail and dinner music but also was able to compliment all the music I played during the dancing segment perfectly. She was so prepared and was able to catch every song I played and the crowd absolutely loved her. Rachel was a also a delight to work with and hope to be on another event with her soon!

We hired Rachael for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and she exceeded all expectations! The music during our ceremony was absolutely lovely, and it set the perfect tone for our special day. We can't help but feel a bit envious that we couldn't fully enjoy her wonderful performance during the cocktail hour.

Many of our guests couldn't stop complimenting Rachael's exceptional skill and the fantastic vibe she brought to our event. We want to give a huge shout-out to Rachael for making everything so incredibly lovely!

Rachael is absolutely amazing. I asked for a specific Ukrainian song to be played for my Ukrainian wedding for my entrance and she went and got the sheet music for it! She incorporated everything we wanted and worked great with our DJ. Absolutely love her! Hire her now!

I had the privilege of seeing both Rachael Miller and Joshua Bell perform on the same stage in New York. She is a show stopper. Everyone in the crowd was clapping and tapping their feet. She is an extremely versatile violinist who plays both on acoustic and electric violins. I can’t wait to see her play live again! Hire her for your event. 🎻

Absolutely incredible, she played for our wedding the other night and everyone was RAVING about her. Super easy to work with. Love her

Rachel made my wedding guests so happy. She was going from table to table playing the violin to our guests. They were in love. I’m Middle Eastern and I asked her a couple days before the wedding if she knew any Arabic songs, she said she didn’t but if I gave her a song, she’d learn it. She played the song perfectly, I was in awe the entire night. I would book her again and again. Thank you, Rachel.

Rachael was an amazing addition to our wedding. She was extremely professional throughout the entire process from booking through the wedding! Her performance was everything that I imagined it to be. I'm not the type of bride that's always had my wedding plans pictured in my head but going in the one thing I knew I wanted was a violinist playing for the ceremony and Rachael far exceeded my vision! If you're considering maybe going with her, absolutely do it - she will not disappoint.

Rachael was our Violinist for our ceremony and coctail hour and she was Amazing! I've watched some of her work on YouTube but to hear it in person was even better! Everyone had great things to say and really enjoyed it 😍

We had such raving reviews!!!!

Rachael was wonderful. She played for our proposal and she was willing to learn so many songs, and followed us all around the venue while we took pictures after the big moment. Totally awesome, an amazing way to celebrate our engagement. It was beautiful! Thank you again, Rachael.

Rachael played at our wedding and was phenomenal. She was able to accommodate all of our song requests and play them during dinner and the spotlight dances, making for a very memorable experience for us and our guests. She can put a classic twist on modern songs (R&B, Rap, Electric) and really knows how to work a room. We plan on having Rachael at events in the future and would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering some fun entertainment. Thank you!!!

Rachael played at my wedding on April 24, 2021 and literally “made the violin TALK”!!! Her musical talent when playing the violin was “breathtaking” and surpassed my expectations!
I wish I could get married all over again just to hear her play!
THANK YOU RACHAEL ❤️❤️❤️

Rachael played at my proposal at the Chicago Cultural Center and truly made it an amazing moment for us. As I was looking through reviews for someone to hire, when I came across her page and listened to her clips I was sold right away - she's unbelievably talented. Since I'm not from the area, I wasn't exactly sure where I wanted the proposal to be, but she took the time to get on a call and listen to what I had in mind, and then went over some ideas - I appreciated how friendly and down-to-earth she was during such a nerve-wracking thing for me. I ended up having to switch it up at the last minute because of the weather, but she was super helpful and flexible the whole time. She played beautifully and it exceeded any expectations I had, and me and my now wife are both so thankful that she was a part of such a memorable experience for us. Looking back on it, we both agree that as special as it was, it wouldn't have been nearly the same without her - she's the best.

Rachael was amazing and played beautifully for my best friend’s birthday! Besides the fact that he thought she looked like his ex-gf, we both cant stop talking about her remarkable talent/skills! She played just about anything by ear! Thank you so much! We would hire you again!

Rachael was the greatest live entertainment for our micro-wedding! Her talent fills the room and is a pure joy to be a part of. She helped plan the detailed structure of the night which made everything seamless! Thank you Rachael for such wedding song choices and entertainment!

Rachael was the highlight of our wedding and made every moment magical with excellent song choices and capturing every moment. Her professionalism, talent and awesome personality made our wedding pure joy. The guests absolutely loved her and were complimenting her throughout the night. We Highly recommended Rachael, greatest Violinst and performer all around. Thank you for such a beautiful wedding day!

Rachael Miller is truly an amazing talent, I had the pleasure of witnessing her greatness first hand. She is so personable and extremely professional, trust me you don't want to miss out. Thanks Rachael for amazing time!

It was an absolute pleasure to have Rachel playing for my party..
She is extremely professional....
My boyfriend was speech less amd very happy.
I highly recommend Rachel for you party.

I proposed to my girlfriend at a theater and hired Rachel Miller to play violin for us. I requested a specific song and an artist we both like and she killed it. I mean I didn’t know what I was expecting but I was almost in tears listening to her runs. She created my new favorite versions of songs.

Rachel is a true professional with a gifted talent. She arrived early and delivered an outstanding performance! Our customers and staff were all in awe and truly enjoyed her dynamic/action-packed delivery. Very proud of Rachael and absolutely would recommend her for your next event.

I hired Rachael and couldn’t be happier with her performance and professionalism. She was always friendly and pleasant, reachable and responsive, very prepared, and put together a personalized playlist for us. She is extremely talented and was able to learn many songs in less than 2 weeks. Her involvement and performance made my proposal that much more special and I can’t thank her enough. I will definitely be hiring Rachael again in the future, and have already begun referring her to others. Thanks again Rachael!

Rachael performed at our Wedding Reception. Whenever, I look back and think of my wedding, I think of all the things that made it feel like a complete dream - and Rachael was a big part of it. She exceeded expectations as she was easy to communicate with and very responsive.

During wedding planning, we knew we wanted violin music for the cocktail hour during the reception, to keep everyone engaged and to make it unique. But we didn't think of all the different ways in which Rachael could add to our event. She shared with us various examples, of how she could play a role in making our wedding more fun by performed at the cocktail hour, during the wedding reception dinner, at the entrance of the bridal party, and during the first dance. We liked the ideas and we opted for all these options for her to perform on our wedding day.

The second part that we were unsure about was how we would decide what music or songs we would like for her to play. We listened to a lot of her performances on her Youtube channel and we fell in love with them (youtube channel's name is Rachael Miller). She is so talented! She also had a list of songs available to give us some ideas, and she was really open to playing any songs/music - as long as it went with a violin, which are most songs. This included both English and Hindi songs. This made the entire planning process super easy and we could get together a list of all the songs/type of music that we liked.

What happened next on the day of the wedding was truly magical and cannot be put into words. It was a fairytale come true. Rachael executed all songs beautifully and kept the audience engaged throughout. Even now, months after the wedding, our guests ask us about her - compliment us on how amazing she was and how everyone had a great time. Some of my guests have even requested a list of the songs played at the wedding, in that order, because of how much they loved them and the way she executed them. There was a part during the wedding reception dinner when she reminded me of a 'Pied Piper' because some little kids were following her around as she gracefully played the violin while moving around the dance floor. It was an amazing experience and I can't thank her enough. Thank you Rachael for making our fairytale wedding come true.

Rachael played at my husband’s 50th birthday event recently. She is extraordinarily talented and exceptional. She is very easy to work with, extremely professional and personable. The sparkle in her eyes and the lovely smile she has on her face when is playing the violin is a joy to watch. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.
She worked effortlessly with the DJ who she met in person only a half hour before the event. We are of Indian decent and there were a lot of Bollywood songs that were played by the DJ at the event. Rachael played along impromptu seamlessly throughout. Everyone one of our guests, young and old couldn’t resist dancing to the music for hours on end. All our guests complimented on my choice of musician for the event. It was a beautiful evening and Rachael added more life to it. I can’t wait for her to perform at any our future events.

Rachael was absolutely phenomenal. She has a gift and it shows. She transformed all of our favorite songs, we could not stop singing all night. Our guests were in complete awe of her and so were we! Best addition to any wedding.

Was really impressed with Rachael's performance. She added that unique special wow factor we were looking for at our event. She's easy to work with, was on time, super professional and pleasant. Hoping to work with Racheal again in the future!

We hired Rachael for our wedding and she hit it out of the park. Absolutely killed it. She made the process very easy, proactively reached out to our DJ, and went the extra mile on our big day. She is very talented and was able to play everything we wanted. Including all the covers in sync with the DJ to keep our dance floor extra packed. She interacted with all our guests, played for the older crowd, and just got people on their feet. Would highly recommend.

Rachel is such a talented violinist! Our guests raved about her. Everyone was so impressed. She added such a wonderful dynamic to the event. If you want a WOW factor at your party, call Racheal.

We worked with Rachael Miller to provide music for our wedding cocktail hour. From the moment we booked her through Gig Salad, she was incredibly professional, prompt, kind and easy to work with. She was one of the few vendors we booked, continued planning, did a quick follow up before the wedding, and didn't think twice about it. Our guests absolutely LOVED the uniqueness of her, and thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. We HIGHLY recommend Rachael for any musical entertainment needs.

If I could give Rachael 10 stars I would! We hired Rachael to play our corporate event last Friday night and it's safe to say that everyone was blown away! I had people coming up to me all night (guests and colleagues) saying how amazing she was, how impressed they were, and that this was one of the coolest things they've seen at an event. Rachael's talent is beyond impressive. She played alongside our DJ (DJ D Jones) all night improvising as each song came on. She interacted with our guests and made the night a hit! She even dressed for our theme which was a Masquerade Ball! She was very professional from our initial conversations, to communicating with our DJ and venue staff, to the night of the event! I would highly recommend hiring Rachael and would definitely work with her again!

I cannot say enough great things about Rachael’s performance. She was not only great at her violin but she was professional and friendly. She made my wedding day extra special. I could not have been happier.

Rachael was really great to work with for our recent wedding.

We had a very small ceremony in Humboldt Park Boat House and Rachael provided violin music while guests were arriving and for the ceremony itself. She can play any music selection you'd like but she also sent me a great recommendation list - grouped by more traditional and contemporary - to aid in the decision-making process.

She was prompt, courteous and happy, and a great musician. What more could you ask for!

Rachel did a wonderful job playing for our ceremony!

Rachael was fantastic at our wedding. I could not count how many times I heard how much people loved her performance during the ceremony and at cocktail hour. She arrived on time and ready to go. She was such a professional and we loved having her. I would highly recommend her for any event in the future.

Rachael is so amazing. Book Her!!!

Beautiful spirit! Beautiful Talent! Rachael was amazing and breathtaking. She made our anniversary party epic and the talk of FB and family. I can not give her enough stars ⭐️ for the job well done. Thank you for making our anniversary party more than we could have ever asked for! We will definitely be using her again!

Not only did she play what we requested, she went above and beyond. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a violinist for their wedding!

We are very pleased with our experience with Rachael. Since day one, she demonstrated the utmost professionalism and flexibility. She was responsive and available any time we needed to talk, even many months before our event. She can play a wide range of musical genres and was able to accommodate each of our requests. She learned specific songs for us and coordinated with our other musicians to deliver a unique and memorable experience for our wedding guests. When things didn’t go according to plan, she improvised on the fly to ensure the night went smoothly. I can’t thank her enough for making our big day special. I would recommend her to anyone seeking to make their event better with a talented and reliable musician. Now I just wish we had more gigs to keep her around!

We hired Rachael to perform at our global corporate event at The Art Institute of Chicago. She was very prompt with all communication and assisted us with finding the best DJ to accompany her. They were an excellent duo!

Rachel was awesome! Very professional and great quality sound and performance! Highly recommend!

We hired Rachael to play at my sons wedding and she was great. Her music is outstanding and she added so much to our ceremony! She was so professional and even helped the bride and groom plan plan out the timing of the ceremony since she has done many weddings and was very familiar with how they run. I highly recommend her for any occasion but for our wedding she was a perfect addition!

Wow, wow wow! Rachael was amazing! Really. Above and beyond. It was my first time doing GigSalad and it was so easy, but actually, to get someone so talented was a true bonus. Rachael did our daughters wedding and cocktail hour. So many compliments on her, and my daughter was so happy! Thank you so much for making the wedding so perfect. I wish I had the photos back so I could attach a photo or video

If you are looking for a violinist for Any event, look no further! Rachael was absolutely fantastic, I would recommend her in heartbeat. 10/10.

Punctual, professional, and very proficient... Highly recommend Rachael for your event..

Rachael was was prompt and professional! She was a lot of fun and was flexible. She played beautifully and really made the evening just perfect!

My guests enjoyed this surprise, and she nailed every song she played! Beautiful personality as well! Thank you, Rachael!

She was wonderful. Our residents absolutely loved her. Thank you for making our residents Valentine's Day Dinner so special.

We booked Rachael for our Grand Opening store event and she was awesome! Very responsive and prepared before and during the performance. Our customers and employees both loved her performance!

Rachael played beautifully! She’s professional and reassuring, almost like a close friend. Everyone enjoyed her skills and abilities. I highly recommend her and will definitely, when needed, hire her again.

Racheal performed four tunes that I requested and she did all them with poise and skill. This was all for my wife's birthday dinner and the result was rapt attention. With a couple of tears from my wife. Thank you.

I rarely write reviews, but Rachael is deserving of an exceptional review.....5+ stars! In a very sad time of losing my mom very suddenly, Rachael shined through for us at my mom's funeral services. Mom insisted she always wanted a party when the time came, a celebration of life. She wanted Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, the Doobie Brothers, etc. Rachael came through in an amazing way....everyone commented on how upbeat and beautiful her visitation was. Many people walked into a beautiful version of Stairway to Heaven playing. She was great at communicating...finding out exactly what we wanted, she created a play list and ran it past us ahead of time. She was punctual, (giving herself plenty of time to come up from Chicago in case the weather was bad) and she even offered to help with set up! What she doesn't know is that I still listen to her music. 10 minutes a day, I take a break and reflect on my mom with Rachel's music. I can not say enough about her and promise you will not be disappointed in hiring her for any type of venue! Thank you so much, Rachael!

We absolutely loved working with Rachael! It was such a cool and different addition to our event, Rachael did an amazing job and was very professional from start to finish. The song selection was perfect, we all had such a great time! Thank you Rachael

You were perfect on our wedding day, because of you it was special.

She was amazing and everyone at the event loved her!

Rachael played at my engagement and she was perfect. She is a skilled violinist and a cool individual. My fiancé and I absolutely love her. Highly recommended! Thank you Rachael

I cannot sing Rachel's praises enough!! She turned my partner's intimate birthday for two into an event to remember. It wasn't a fancy huge party, but she played like it was. If you want to impress your guests, or like me, just want to impress one special man or woman, book Rachel. Her selection of songs was wonderful and she played along with instrumentals of songs we love. Her speaker had nice sound quality and her playing was simply beautiful. Not one note off key! It was a surprise for my partner and she was super accommodating. She even took pictures of us and with us. And she worked with my budget as well. Thanks Rachel!! I can't wait to work with you in the future.

Rachel performed at my wedding ceremony and on July 15, 2018 and did an absolutely fabulous job. She made the ceremony and reception so beautiful. Her music is spectacular and she plays many genres. From the time I booked till my wedding day it all went so smoothly.

I thank Rachel for making my day special. Highly recommend booking Rachel for any occasion.

While Rachael couldn't perform due to unforeseen circumstances, she was incredibly prompt, proactive, and simply wonderful in finding us a replacement violinist, which was also superb in her own right. Throughout the process, Rachael maintained lines of communication with us and continually reassured us of her replacement. We couldn't ask for a better professional in Rachael. Thank you for your wonderful customer service! And yes, we would hire Rachael again in a heartbeat should we have the need for a violinist in the future.

5 Star Rating...
Rachael Miller is an exceptional violinist and a very kind person who is easy to work with. She played beautiful classical music during our wedding ceremony while adding a modern and fun twist at the cocktail reception. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed her musical talent. She definitely helped us apply some special touches to our wedding day. We would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, event or party. She is an exceptional musician and will make your event that much for special. Thank you for being a part of our big day. It really meant a lot to us.
Best,
Katey & Jason

Wonderful customer service and amazing ability. Best decision!

She helped me select songs, was there ontime and did just great.

My fiance surprised me with a proposal atop The Ambassador Chicago Hotel, with Rachael playing a curated playlist of songs my husband had put together, on her violin. It was honestly the most shocking and beautiful experience of my life time. My grandmother played the violin for me growing up, and it was truly a special way for him to propose. Rachael is beyond talented, and extremely professional. I know for a fact that my fiance has a busy work schedule, and can not always call back or respond quickly, and Rachael was so patient with him and all the last minute changes that had to happen in order to keep it all a surprise fro me. We loved her, and are definitely planning on hiring her again in the future. She is so warm, and sweet, she even took pictures of us after her set was finished. She came early and stayed late, just to help make the moment perfect for us. We highly recommend her for your next event!

Rachael did an amazing job at our wedding, and she was very professional in how she approached the event. I was impressed with her flexibility and desire to make her portion of the wedding special and exactly what we wanted. And... she is incredibly talented btw. I highly recommend her for a wedding, or any other event!

Talented young violinist. Wonderful personality.

Rachael played for our daugther's second birthday party and she was a hit! She is extremely talented and professional. She was very easy to communicate with and always responded promptly to emails/messages. She tailored her playlist to suit our requests perfectly. All of our guests were really impressed by her performance and she was amazing with the kids! My highest recommendations.

Rachael Miller was AMAZING as she demonstrated
unimpeachable technique and a keen musical sense, as she made every note count! Rachael is accomplishing something that some Violinist likely thought impossible, crossing two genre's of music and making it fun!

Rachel did a wonderful job at my wedding. She played during cocktail hour and also during my ceremony. All of my guests were blown away by how great she was. This morning at breakfast everyone was talking about how she was so good it gave them all chills!

We booked Rachael to play violin for our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding. She was absolutely amazing!! The ceremony music was perfectly executed and added such an elegant touch. Being the bride and groom, we did not get to participate in cocktail hour, but we had so many guests come up to us and say what a wonderful musician Rachael is. One in particular specifically mentioned he was amazed she played "Stairway to Heaven." She was really easy to work with and personable. She helped us to pick out our ceremony music and gave us suggestions for cocktail hour. Her repertoire is really extensive...classic, contemporary, you name it! I would absolutely book her again and would highly recommend her for any type of event. Thank you Rachael for making our wedding day that much more perfect!

Rachael played during my wedding dinner hour last month and all I have to say is she was absolutely phenomenal! My guests loved her. They are still bragging about her till this day. She played while my husband and I cut our cake and then she went from table to table to play for our guests. I could not be more pleased with her work, amazing attitude and professionalism throughout the planning process and throughout my wedding. I'd book her again for sure if needed and definitely recommend her to people. She deserves the five stars!

Thanks Rachael for making our day so unforgettable!!

To sum up our experience with Rachael, it was magnificent, her music divine!

She is extremely professional, excellent violinist with great people skills!

The music she rendered while we were dining was simply beautiful and made our baptism party more special. Our guests were raving about how the great music was and even more notable, our baby girl, truly enjoyed listening to the classical music she played that she was VERY CALM, NEVER CRIED thru out the event🤗🤗.

Thank you very much Rachel for making our baptism party extra special!!!!

I asked Rachael to perform while I proposed to my girlfriend at a park by Lake Michigan. The experience was simply amazing. Rachael's performance was fantastic!!! She made the whole event so special. She played all of our requested favorite songs, and she had a wireless amp with her, so the music carried throughout the park. I would highly recommend asking Rachael to perform at your next event. Thank you Rachael! :]

Rachael did our wedding ceremony and it was absolutely PERFECT! She was quick to respond to all my emails and questions while we planned the music for the ceremony. We had an outdoor ceremony in a garden and the violin sounded amazing in this setting. We could not have been happier with Rachael and having her a part of our day. We can't wait to see our wedding video and hear her beautiful music again.

Thank you again Rachael - your music and talent made our day even more memorable.

Rachael was great from start to finish. She was professional from the moment we booked her and was responsive through email. We also had a DJ for our event and she took it upon herself to coordinate with the DJ separately to ensure she delivered an amazing hip hop performance. We weren't sure what to expect but her skills blew us away. During her set, guests were coming up to me to praise her. We didn't want her set to end! We will definitely book Rachael for an event in the future!

She is the Best , she made our wedding amazing , ppl was Enjoying tge beautiful performance for reception and dinner time , I highly recommend Rachel for any type of party ,Very professional! She is really good in what she is doing! Thank you Rachel!~ Goran and Martyna K.
