Hi, I am Karen Rose

Beautiful violinist and cellist! Karen and Paul added a truly memorable ambience for our wedding, and really made for a classy and elegant ceremony and cocktail hour. My only regret was that we were very busy taking wedding photos and mingling and didn't get to experience the beautiful music playing in the background! Karen was very receptive to playing our special music requests and did a wonderful job! Very easy and pleasant to work with, and would highly recommend her to anyone!

I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with Karen and her musicians. I worked with Karen for my wedding at Cedric’s Garden at Biltmore. I had a cello, violin, and harp for the ceremony and jazz band for the reception. My guests RAVED about the music after the wedding. Both sets received great praise (and this means something since most of my guests are used to very high quality). Karen took her time working with me, I really didn’t know what I wanted when I first started the process and I changed it a few times. She added a personal song during the ceremony (Halo theme) which BLEW everyone away (they couldn’t stop talking about how impressed they were). The jazz band definitely succeeded my expectations and I received lots of praise about the set as well. They did an amazing job at picking perfect dinner music. They really did make the reception and give a great element of class to dinner. The guests enjoyed them very much, it wouldn’t have been the same without them! My guests were asking the video just so they could hear the music again! This is my first vendor from my wedding that I am leaving a review for because they truly deserve every bit of 5 stars, they blew me away! Thank you Karen and your team!

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!
