Live piano music enhances the atmosphere of any special event. I would love the opportunity to provide the music for your special day. I am a pianist with 25 years of experience playing classical and modern repertoire. I have accompanied vocalists, instrumentalists, choirs, and am also currently a church organist.
Wedding services include consultation, rehearsal, prelude, ceremony music, and postlude. I am also available for cocktail hour, reception music, holiday parties, or other events. General accompanying services are also available, for music competitions, vocalists, etc.
I am based in Lees Summit but will travel anywhere in the Kansas City metro area.
Rachel Sargent was so lovely, in decorum, attitude, and artistry. I was so pleased to have her during this historic house tour event in my 1902 home. Visitors even paused to sit and listen to her music. it was refreshing, added to the tour, and I was quite pleased
Rachel was so great to work with and is an amazing pianist. She was easy to communicate with and did an amazing job at our wedding ceremony. She was able to attend both our rehearsal and day of, which was very helpful. We really enjoyed having her as part of our special day. If you are in need of a pianist, I would highly recommend Rachel!
Response from Rachel Sargent, Wedding Pianist:
Ally, thank you so much! It was a beautiful ceremony and I so enjoyed being a part of it!
Best wishes to you and Nick!

We chose Rachel to play the piano music at our wedding. She offered us a reasonable price with many, many choices of music. She was on time, professional, polite and very accommodating to work with on our musical selections. We held the very small wedding of 20 in a hotel suite in KC and her music offered the perfect ambience for the celebration. We highly recommend contacting Rachael for your musical needs.
Rachel Sargent was perfect!
Rachel played the piano at our dad's celebration of life in Lawrence. Our dad loved playing American standards on the piano and we wanted someone to play these songs during the reception following the celebration of life service. Rachel was fantastic! She is a great communicator, a terrific pianist and a really nice person. I highly recommend her!
Rachel was so lovely to work with at my wedding. Her communication was timely and thorough. I had so many guests commenting on how lovely her prelude music was. Thank you so much, Rachel! You made my ceremony truly beautiful
Response from Rachel Sargent, Wedding Pianist:
Oh thank you Laura! I absolutely loved playing the piano for your gorgeous wedding! Best wishes to you and your husband!
Rachel was the perfect pianist for our special day! She was responsive, very knowledgeable on different styles of music we wanted, and she was such a joy to work with! Very friendly, professional, and reliable. Highly recommend Rachel for your wedding or special event!!
Response from Rachel Sargent, Wedding Pianist:
Thank you so much Tierra! It was a joy and an honor!
Rachel was wonderful to work with and made everything very easy for me, which was a blessing when planning a reception! I am very happy I booked her and would recommend her to anyone.
I'm so thankful to have found Rachel to play at my wedding! She played beautifully, knew exactly where to queue the music, and was able to adjust timing on the fly when the actual event went differently than the rehearsal. Speaking of rehearsal, she offered to attend the rehearsal the day before too! I was nervous to book through GigSalad, as I had never heard of it before, but it was easy and I could not have asked for a better outcome. All around a 5 star experience!
Response from Rachel Sargent, Wedding Pianist:
Thank you so much for the review, Megan! It was a beautiful wedding!
Thank you Rachel for doing a wonderful job playing piano at my sisters wedding! There were many who complimented your music at the wedding and my sister appreciated the large selection of music you offerred to choose from. Highly recommended- friendly, professional, & talented!
Response from Rachel Sargent, Wedding Pianist:
Thank you for the lovely review, April! I so enjoyed being a part of the wedding!
Did an amazing job for us! Not only did her music sound amazing but she was punctual and very professional. We greatly appreciate your time with us Rachel!
Very pleasant young woman. Everything went as expected. We may set her location in the room differently next time so we can hear her playing better.
Rachel played Christmas music for our 2016 Annual Christmas Dinner. She is an outstanding artist. Her talent created an extra "touch of class" for our event. She received many compliments from those in attendance. We highly recommend her and hope to use her again.

Thank you for your talents! It was the perfect amount of background sound. Pleasant and entertaining.
Hi, we found Rachel Sargent on gig salad to play piano for our wedding ceremony. This was our first time using gig salad, and the whole process went great. Rachel was responsive to our initial inquiry. She gave us concrete information about what she had to offer as well as specific pricing for a quote. This was particularly helpful for us because we were planning from out of town.
After we accepted her proposal, Rachel followed up with information about music for the service. She was great about giving some general guidance but leaving room for specific preferences we had for the event. Finally at the event itself, she was both professional and personable. All the things you expect: she showed up, she was prepared, she made the experience more meaningful rather than being something we had to worry about. On top of that, she was great with kids. We had some children carry flowers, and they were late arriving for the rehearsal because their family also was coming in from out of town. Rachel handled everything in stride and not only didn't say anything to them about it being a problem but made sure they felt welcome after a long car ride.
We would happily contact Rachel again for future engagements.
Rachel Sargent played the piano for my parents' 65th wedding anniversary gathering. She played a perfect mixture of classical and popular music. She knew the appropriate volume given the type of event.
