I am SO GLAD that I booked with Sarah to sing for my Dad's 80th Birthday! Her voice is AMAZING--my dad (and all of us!) can't stop talking about it! Sarah was also incredibly easy to work with--very communicative and kind! We also really liked how she gave brief summaries of each aria and song before singing them. Overall an amazing experience and we are looking forward to seeing her perform in the future!
Sarah performed at my son’s wedding and she was absolutely lovely. She was an excellent communicator in the planning process and delivered in a big way on the wedding. She is so very talented! I would hire Sarah again in a heartbeat.

It was one of the most romantic weddings I’ve ever witnessed. The true love between Rex and Kate was undeniable. Not even the cloudy day could dampen the tangible joy felt in all who attended. 💞
Congratulations!

Sarah’s voice is like an angel and she is the most beautiful pianist ever. I’ve hired several over the years and her understanding of how to deal with me in my time of sorrow was amazing and only surpassed by her abilities. Highly recommend her and thank you sarah for honoring my dad

We had a small group of children and Sarah had a great songbook of children's songs that had them singing and getting up and dancing. She even took requests and did a Taylor Swift cover. She was responsive and had all her own equipment. She has a gentle, patient and calm nature with children . I would hire her again.

Let me start by saying that Sarah is wonderful. She played and sang beautifully for our holiday party.
However, this wasn't just any party. We hosted a caroling party that started outside with Sarah playing and singing a full set of holiday classics. We then went caroling around the neighborhood in a 24' sleigh with Sarah playing the accompaniment to all of the songs from the back of my pickup truck. It was amazing and absolutely one of a kind. Fantastic performance. Sarah's voice and playing were top notch and she was more than up for the unusual request to go mobile as our crew of 50+ people sang their hearts out from Santa's sleigh. Sarah's communication was great, she arrived early to set up, and could not have been better!

Aweeee, thank you Fady for the glowing review! I would return the same 10 star review after working with you and your heartwarming friends and family! 🥳❤️💜
I hired Sarah to play piano for my wedding ceremony. She played music as guests arrived, when the bridesmaids walked in, when I (the bride) walked in and an exit song for me and my husband. Throughout the entire planning process, she was very helpful, kind and patient. She provided a suggestions song list from the very beginning and that was very helpful. My initial requested playlist changed quite a few times throughout planning the wedding and when I had questions, Sarah was always quick to respond. That meant a lot to me since I was often running a mile a minute. There were two songs I cared the most about (bride entrance and bride and groom exit). I sent her specific YouTube videos to see if she knew them or could play them and she was able to already play one but learned the other for us!
The day of the wedding, I was only able to hear my entrance song and the exit song and they both sounded amazing! Guests and my husband let me know later that everything else sounded just as amazing. I can't wait to see the video from the day to hear more.
I would definitely recommend Sarah to others. Her talent is amazing and she was always professional, on time, accommodating and even brought her own equipment as a back up in case there were any issues with the church's piano.
Thank you, Sarah! We truly appreciate having you be a part of our big day.

Sarah performed for our family and friends at our daughter 2-year birthday party last week. She was absolutely the best. Everyone of all ages enjoyed her guitar playing and singing. It was the perfect sing-along event that kept everyone happy and engaged. She made our party perfect. Plus, it was easy to coordinate and communicate with Sarah. She was kind to offer to learn songs in advance, if we requested. Working with Sarah was a wonderful experience, and I know we'll be pinging her again down the road for more celebrations.

I hired Sarah for my son's memorial service. She was absolutely beyond wonderful, and she helped to make it a very special time for people to remember my son. She played and sang more than our agreement required, and she has a magnificent voice. Also, the goodness of her spirit really came through. She was very professional, willing to sing in any style I wanted and willing to learn new songs for the event. She was actually a God-send, someone who was brought to the event to make it a beautiful tribute. Many people commented on what a great voice she has.

Thank you Amanda! I'm so happy I was able to add music to your beautiful ceremony!
Sarah was an absolute dream to work with. She was literally the first person I was drawn to, and didn't even bother to keep searching for the perfect singer for my mom's Celebration of Life. I was looking for someone to sing Ave Maria, and had clicked on her facebook page and saw her singing an opera song and knew I'd found her. Indeed, she replied very quickly and was available! We had multiple texts back and forth that were both professional and felt like I was talking to a friend. Not only did she sing a breathtaking rendition of Ave Maria, but 3 other songs, including one she learned (Carrie Underwood, See You Again) to sing as we played my mama's slideshow. I HIGHLY recommend Sarah, and am so grateful for this seamless, meant-to-be experience during the most difficult chapter of my life. Sarah is an absolute GEM!

Thank you Beth for so a touching response. Clearly your mother was a big personality who was dearly loved by many. It was my honor to be a part of celebrating her life. Many humble thanks!
If you are looking for a fantastic pianist who can sing, Sarah is the one you need to hire! She was very professional and adjusted as need with the Father's directions at our Catholic mass! And when she started to sing Ava Maria, the entire place went absolutely silent because her voice was like an angel. My daughter's quinceanera would not have been the same without Sarah! She is a must for your day!

She inquired about the sounds our daughter likes to make sure she is prepared. She was also willing to make the trip from Austin to Dallas to perform which was very kind of her. We enjoyed having Sarah at the party and seeing our daughter dance to her singing and music was priceless.

We co -hosted a couples wedding shower, with about 30 people, at our home for our nephew and his fiance. After months of careful planning we were finally ready to celebrate. I can honestly say that despite all the effort we had put into trying to make this party a success, it would not have been the event that it was without Sarah and her music. Like most of the other reviews, she made the event. If anyone is undecided about the entertainment for their party, I promise you that you will not be disappointed if you choose Sarah. Just a delight to work with. Her range and quality of music is absolutely wonderful. So many people commented on how special the music was. Thank you Sarah for making this occasion so memorable for my nephew, family and friends.

Sarah sang at my mother's graveside service. She was so helpful in helping us select which songs would be most appropriate. She responded immediately to all of our changes and suggestions. The most special part is that she learned a song that was my parent's song and sang it beautifully. It was very important to us that it be a part of the service, her care and attention to detail was amazing. I would hire her again, hopefully for more of celebration next time. She set the perfect tone. What a professional.

Thank you for your touching comments, and for trusting me with the music of such an important life event. I'm truly honored to have been a part of the celebration of life of your mother, a very special lady. Many Blessings to you and your family.
We booked Sarah for a children's gig to celebrate the launch of a new kids' product at our storefront. The crowd was smaller than expected, and Sarah provided a fun experience for the little ones and their parents. She's very talented and professional!

Response from Sarah McSweeney:
Thank you Jayme for trusting me with the opening of your children’s line! You have a beautiful store. 🌟
Sarah came to perform some Italian arias for our children’s unit on opera; it was amazing! Sarah was a delight from the moment we booked her until after the performance, for which she even had a lovely presentation prepared. The kids were mesmerized and the the parents were so happy. Sarah is a true talent and a delightful human!
Can’t give enough praise to Sarah for the memorial service she provided for my mother. Ave Maria was spectacular, and church hymnals were perfect. She even smoothed out issues with a difficult priest. No hesitation hiring her again.

Thank you Charles ✨. What a phenomenal group of singers you had at your gathering! Peace and happy holidays. 🎄
I’ve hosted many parties, but this one—a speakeasy themed house party (for my 45th bday) with a dozen guests and Sarah’s talent—was the best ever. Everyone had a wonderful time. Sarah customized her song choices to the audience and my preferences, even learning new songs at my request! She was so pleasant, professional, and engaging. She made my dream party come true. Outstandingly talented, and delightful to work with.

Thank you Rodney! Likewise, it was a pleasure working with you too :)
We hired Sarah to present to our summer camp students, June 2018. Sarah explained instruments and performed the flute, guitar, trombone and percussion. She had so many interesting percussion instruments for the children to explore. She led them in songs and explained rhythm. Sarah has a beautiful and powerful voice that was impressive for 3 - 9 year olds to hear!! Here is a testimonial from a 3 year old, "Mommy, the lady that came to our school today was beautiful and amazing. I am so happy that I got to see her!".

Sarah is an absolute star! Her voice is amazing and she made the most beautiful addition to our wedding. Not only is she talented, but she’s an absolute joy to work with. Willing to help us anyway we can from reframing the organization of how we wanted a song to play to being willing to learn songs for us. She’s amazing and you should look no further - this is the artist you’ve been looking for!

Oh my goodness you made my day with that amazing review, thank you! Happy tears here. Your wedding day was so beautiful, I seriously think you should consider going into the business of wedding coordinator! Great job!
Congrats! ⭐️
It might've been my birthday, but Sarah was the star of the show. I gave her very little guidance for music choice, but she played an incredible selection of top hits from 60s to today's hits. She even saying happy birthday to me in operatic Italian followed up by Le Vie en Rose... what an exceptional voice!
We provided the piano. She brought her guitar and her own sound equipment. She was completely professional, and I couldn't imagine my event without her.

Not only did she completely exceed our expectations on our wedding day, but she was wonderful in communicating with me exactly what kind of experience we were going for. She even learned a whole slew of new songs just for us! Thank you so much, Sarah, for making our day so special :)

An evening is transformed into a spectacular, unforgettable, deeply moving, uplifting, inspiring, passionate experience when graced with one-of-a-kind Sarah McSweeney. Sarah brought so much life and magic and spirit into our art exhibition at the River Club a prestigious private venue where her performance stunned even the most jaded of New York City's crowd. Sarah is unparalleled in her profound gift of bringing through a vibrant, alive, sparkly energy that touches people to their core and awakens their joie de vie. While her vast and top notch, world class musical talent is unquestioned, she also brings so much more to an event than music alone, more than words can describe. Her angelic voice provoke rushes of tingles through the body. She masterfully tunes into the crowd and delights them with an endless array of genres and gems. Rather than the quick in and out social protocol of some art openings, thanks to Sarah's music, guests found themselves staying and having fun for hours, passionately engaged in conversation with each other, admiring the artworks and enjoying the music. In short, in my opinion, Sarah's musical presence is a powerful life-changing experience that literally awakens the spirit and the senses. I cannot recommend her enough.

What a magical performance! Sarah "opened" for a reading we had here at Malvern Books. The author had sent her a copy of her book in advance and Sarah read the book and played music that fit perfectly, including a song that was inspired by the book! We couldn't have asked for more. Sarah is a rare gem of a musician and we were very fortunate to have found her!

Not your usual birthday party! We had a large gathering of family and friends and of course a cannon. Sarah handled it all in stride. Her voice is beautiful and the outdoor concert added a wonderful touch to the evening. During the whole process, from booking to the event, she was sweet as well as professional. She even did a special song request. It was a great experience start to finish. Thank you Sarah!

Thank you Gill! Congrats on your award winning wines. I'm happy to have been a part of your anniversary celebration!
Sarah performed at a book signing-musical event for me and a Harlingen Texas restaurant. I knew she had a great voice, but after meeting her and listening to her I can say it was a beautiful voice coming from a beautiful person. Despite acoustics that were not the best, she overcame that and the crowd loved her.
I just knew when I saw her name, it had to be an omen. My book publisher is Sarah Book Publishing and I lost a dear teen granddaughter with by the name of Sarah in an auto accident.
I am looking forward to hearing her perform again and plan to purchase some of her available music. I also hope I have an opportunity to have her perform at one of my future functions. In fact, I may just have one, to hear her sing and play!

We selected Sarah for our client event and gave her free will to choose songs that she sang best. She put on BY FAR the most amazing performance we have ever had, that even a couple of times, the entire crowd was silent, just in awe of her incredible talent. She has been blessed with such an amazing gift and we were the lucky ones that were graced with her presence! Thank you Sarah for making our event one that people can't stop talking about!

I hired Sarah to collaborate on a song with me. It was probably not the most common "gig" but she blew away any expectations I had. She was very pleasant to work with and seemed to have a genuine interest in the project. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Response from Sarah McSweeney:
Thank you Bradley! Your song turned out Great! Let us know when your cd drops ;)
Sarah was easy to work with from the moment I contacted her, through the booking and arrangements, and during the gig. As the organizer, I had to rely on her to do her part, which she did very well. She showed up on time and was ready to go when we were. She entertained a group of professionals during a reception at the end of a day of conference. I had many positive comments about her. She played a variety of music and was able to gauge what style and tempo and sound level was right for the occasion. She took requests, and even played happy birthday in Italian, I believe, for an overseas guest. I would book Sarah again, happily!

Sarah played for my birthday party at my restaurant and music club - Hill Country in NYC. She sang a mix of beautiful original songs, rock and blues covers, and imeccably sung opera classics (as well as a room-uplifting, italian operatic version of Happy Birthday). She is a wonderful guitarist and pianist, has an extremely warm, charismatic and loving presence, and is preternaturally gifted with a catch-your-breath, world-class, heart-opening, tear-inspiring voice. The crowd adored her and I was thrilled beyond measure. It was a memory I shall never forget and I am eternally grateful. Bravo!!!

I cross paths with Sarah from time to time and it is always a special treat to just see her. But hearing her perform is a true gift of pure joy. I asked Sarah to sing at a gathering of my supporters the last time I ran for re-election to the PEC board. Her voice and lyrics mesmerized the audience the entire time. She carries you to a different and better place. The longer she stayed the longer they stayed. People want to know, to connect with this beauty and her strong, clear melodic sound. She is not surrounded by handlers--she sets herself up and breaks it all down herself. What you see is what you get--a gentle, sweet and kind soul who reveals herself best in front of an audience.

Sarah won runner up in first Brauntex Has Talent show we had a few years ago. Since then, I have seen her turn into a great live performer at various venues around town. Her fan base continues to grow with each performance and the venues all love her. She's dependable and very professional, plus she's a great singer. It's a win-win for everyone!
I hired Sarah for my wife's surprise 40th birthday party and she was the absolute highlight of the night. The folks at the party were very impressed with her singing and musical talent. She played guitar and piano and did a fantastic job of not overpowering the crowd. At a birthday party, people want to talk and mingle and the night was made all that more perfect with her beautiful singing in the background. She did a mix of old and new songs and the easy listening music was ideal for the setting. She was great with the crowd as well. I look forward to the next time I can hire Sarah for an event.
