Ceremony Music

Born into a family of musicians, I have been performing violin music for weddings since I was very young. I joined the Musicians Union when I was 15. I love to make couples happy. I help brides plan for every step of their ceremony. I have a song list and fill-in-the-blank music order. I also learn new songs easily. Planning is made simple with my experienced ear for music.

Testimonials

Karen is not just an accomplished and experienced violinist, but excellent in guiding you in your choice of musical selections that will fit the tone of your wedding if help is needed in that regard - which we did. The harpist also happens to be her daughter. She was absolutely masterful and her dramatic introduction of the bride (my daughter) going down the aisle transported the whole room into an ethereal, surreal state of mind that was palpable. Them working together also creates a certain complimentary synergy. They are both very professional and talented - but also have an elegant quiet presence which was an added bonus in our setting. Thank you A Touch of Rose -- you both contributed to making the wedding SPECTACULAR and the memory of a lifetime.

Karen and her daughter playing the violin and harp made our already amazing wedding day spectacular! They are both so talented and the music was stunningly beautiful and added the perfect touch to our wedding! Karen is so friendly and easy to work with and we are so pleased we had the pleasure of hearing them perform for our wedding!

Karen and her daughter are the most perfect addition to a wedding. They are both exquisitely talented, and their music is beautiful. Our guests were absolutely taken aback by this beautiful duet who played for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Karen is also wonderful to work with while planning and was wonderful at taking our requests and improving upon them. She is a true expert and professional. I am grateful that Touch of Rose was able to be such a beautiful part of a perfect day. I highly recommend.
