April 26, 2021A Consummate Professional!
Rachel is a 100% class act. Her degree of professionalism and expertise was evident from beginning to end in arranging her performance at my celebratory event. I was new to this style of entertainment, but Rachel guided me through every aspect with helpful suggestions on how to make the most of the performance she would be providing. And what a performance it was! My guests are still raving and keep asking me where I found her. Rachel, I am certain you will be getting some additional performance opportunities soon. Thank you for making our event a truly unforgettable one. People reading this review...hire Rachel for your event...you will not be disappointed.

April 24, 2021Memories forever!
We hired the belly dancer as a surprise for my buddy heading overseas. Wow, we had no idea how fun this would be! Rachel is a pro! Handled the crowd like a master entertainer, made sure to include everyone! She even got my wife to dance, I got the pictures to prove it! One for the trophy wall for sure! She was great with our nephew who didn't want the show to be over. Rachel is very professional and handled the surprise theme like a pro, she even suggested a few thing that made the whole event pop off! Thank you Rachel!
