Hello, I’m Rachel! A singer guitarist creating relaxed, feel good atmospheres for weddings, events and venues across Cornwall, Devon, the South West and beyond. I blend soulful, expressive vocals with rhythmic acoustic guitar to bring fresh takes on jazz, R&B and pop favourites. My style is warm, groovy and uplifting, perfect for setting the tone during wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate events and restaurant settings. From timeless classics like Ain’t Nobody, Let’s Stay Together and Young Hearts Run Free to modern favourites like No Scrubs and American Boy, I love reimagining well known songs in a way that feels natural, stylish and unique to your day or event. Alongside performing at weddings and private events, I have a background as a professional recording artist for over ten years. I’ve performed at festivals including Cheltenham Jazz Festival and Boardmasters, and my music has been supported by the BBC and Jazz FM. These experiences have shaped my sound and live performance, allowing me to bring a high level of professionalism while still keeping things relaxed and personal. For weddings and events, my focus is always on creating the right atmosphere. Whether it’s a meaningful song as you walk down the aisle, laid back music for a drinks reception, or setting the tone for a corporate event or venue, I tailor each set to suit the moment and help everything flow naturally. I’m reliable, well presented, easy to work with, provide my own high quality PA system and equipment, and am always happy to learn special requests to make your day even more personal. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, get in touch!
