Rachel Sargent, Wedding Pianist
Overview
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.

November 13, 2025Excellent Wedding Pianist
Rachel was so kind and lovely to work with! She played for our wedding ceremony. Her communication was prompt and she provided a thorough list of her music, which make song selection so much easier for me. Her sample ceremony lists were a great tool, also. I am so glad we chose to have Rachel with us for our big day!

March 2, 2025Great cocktail party
In addition to playing the piano beautifully, Rachel was most accommodating with music requests and selections of her own during our recent cocktail party. The sing along songs she played at the end of the party were a big hit and a wonderful way to end the evening. She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her for your next event.

January 14, 2024Rachel - the Perfect Pianist for our Wedding
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.
