Review by Sarah H.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 7, 2015From Warwick, RI

Karen was EXCELLENT, from day one all the way through to the day of. She periodically checked in with me throughout the planning of my wedding and offered a variety of suggestions for songs which I found incredibly helpful. On the day of, Karen arrived early and played the most beautiful music. I would highly recommend using her for any event!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 21, 2016From Charlton, MA

Such amazing talent! Karen was very professional and helped me chose songs for our wedding - she even chose some for me when I couldn't decide. So many people came up to me after the ceremony to tell me how fantastic she was and how much they enjoyed her music. Karen found me after the ceremony to shake my hand and congratulate us - very friendly, professional. Just awesome! Thank you so much Karen!

Review by Andrew S.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 17, 2022From North Andover, MA

What can we even say! Karen was absolutely fantastic! We reached out weeks before our wedding, she did such a kind call, sent a list of music she could play, and took our recommendations, which she played beautifully! She was so thoughtful in e-mails. She was incredible at the event and played so beautifully. She had to leave at a specific time for a concert that night and played until the last second. If you are considering hiring a violinist for any event, she is truly the best! Thank you Karen for being so truly wonderful! Truly perfect from start to finish!
