Wow. Karen is the woman you want for your ceremony music. She is professional, unobtrusive, helpful, and makes everything go smoothly from behind the scenes on your special day! And she is a wonderful, wonderful organist/pianist and vocalist. I was told there were some people in the crowd that were convinced that we played a recording because she sounded so great! THANK YOU!

Karen played the organ for our wedding, and she was amazing! It sounded exactly like what I had dreamed of when the doors opened for me to walk down the aisle.

Karen provided the music for my marriage ceremony at a Catholic Church in Kansas City (OLPH on Broadway). She was a DREAM to work with. She was extremely familiar with all of the music that we wanted to use during the ceremony and not only played the organ for accompaniment, but ALSO sang. She met with my husband and I two times before the ceremony where we reviewed not only the music selections for the service, but the flow of the entire service. She arrived on my wedding day and without needing any direction from me was set up and playing when guests began arriving for the service. Any bride knows that a vendor that knowns their trade, requires little direction, and does anything they can to help make your wedding day easier are worth their weight in gold!

I'd like to make a note about Karen's skills as a vocalist and musician. She plays both the piano and organ beautifully (I believe she plays other instruments as well but I've personally heard her piano and organ skills). Her voice is the voice of angels. I actually first met her because I heard her sing during a service and simply wanted to shake her hand and thank her for sharing her beautiful voice.

In short, not only is she a dream wedding vendor because she knows what brides need, she's also a dream musician/vocalist.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

When choosing music for your wedding ceremony, think about the instruments that are already available at your ceremony venue. Whether organ or piano, Karen's skills at the keyboard are impeccable. Her taste and knowledge of the repertoire is going to come in very handy, and she can make arrangements for the purchase of the music itself, as well as musicians, rehearsals and more. Karen's contact will give you access to a range of talented performers, from classical singers to string players and much more! Karen is very kind and sweet, so it will be easy to work with her, even with little advanced notice. If Karen is unavailable for your date, she will be able to recommend another vendor for the perfect ceremony event! - Aaron
