    Karen did a great job for our garden wedding. She suggested music selections and everything was wonderful. If I had it to do over again, I would suggest she come to rehearsal...not so much for her but for the wedding party. It was hard for the bridal party to know when they needed to do there part as they rehearsed without the music.

    I originally found Karen through Wedding Wire. From our initial discussions, I knew that this was exactly what I wanted. She not only played at our ceremony but also during our cocktail hour. She is so flexible and helped with my music selections. The guests commented on how elegant it was entering the ceremony with the additional music. Karen was extremely professional, constantly followed up, and was beyond a pleasure to work with. It was the perfect added touch to a beautiful day.

    Karen was just wonderful! She was a pleasure to work with - the ulitmate professional. My guests commented on how lovely her playing was. I'm very happy I hired her to play at my wedding ceremony. The variety of songs she offered was very impressive, and she played never missing a note. Just perfect.

    Karen was very professional to work with. She is a pro and knows what she is doing. The music was beautiful and she knew all of the songs I wanted. She played some modern songs while guests were being seated a and that was a hit. We used traditional songs for the ceremony and they were played flawlessly. The musicians were prompt and nicely dressed. They made my ceremony planning super easy. Great value for the price.

    Karen was a wonderful person to work with. She was able to accommodate us at a last minute request. She not only was a pleasant person to work with, but she provided some beautiful entertainment for the residents here and their families. What a great addition to a party, we can't wait to have her back again!

    Karen's Violins's reply:

    Thank you Stephanie!! I would love to play for your residents again!

    We were very impressed with the beautiful ceremony music provided by Karen's Violins. It was a reasonable price, and Karen really worked with us to incorporate the music we selected. Everyone loved the violin music provided, and felt it was an extra touch that made all the difference! I would highly recommend their service if you are planning a wedding in the Sarasota area.

    Amazing people to work with. Made our day much more special. Very professional and accommodating from day one. Karen was willing to learn any music for us, even when we presented her with some crazy requests. We did a ton of research and you will not find better quality at this price. The three piece string trio made our dream wedding a reality. Book Karen's Violins before she fills up!

    I thought that hiring 1 violinst wouldn't be enough but I was wrong. Karen does an awesome job with playing the violin and I was so happy with the services provided. I asked for a specific song and she made sure she learned it and played it perfectly at my wedding. I would recommend her services to anyone!

    We booked the sting trio with Karens Violins for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We were SO happy we found this group!!! They were so easy to work with.. we had very non-traditional songs for the ceremony that we wanted and they were very willing and excited to learn the songs for us. We also wanted a certain genre of music for cocktail hour, and again they were very happy to work with us. We got so many compliments on the music and we were extremely pleased with Karen and her group! I would recommend them to anyone for their wedding!

    Exceptional...especially for a destination wedding. It is so hard to plan for a wedding when you don't live close by. (PA) All I had to do was dial her number and she took care of everything. Her music was absolutely beautiful and definitely completed our special day.

    We were married at Historic Spanish Pointe. Karen and Lucia performed our ceremony music for us. They added a special touch to our ceremony. We received many compliments on the ceremony location and music. They performed an excellent rehersal for us and we immediately knew that we wanted them for our ceremony. This is a great opportunity to recommend them for future brides. We were very impressed and grateful for such a wonderful performance.

    Karen added such a wonderful element to our ceremony by playing violin. She played every song we requested (and played them beautifully). I would highly recommend her services to anyone.

    Karen's violin's played beautiful classical music of our choice for our wedding. The trio of talented musicians were absolutely wonderful and everyone commented on how the live music enhanced the ceremony. I would highly recommend Karen's Violin's to anyone that wants to make their day unique and magical!!!

    Karen was very easy to work with- she recommended great music selections for our wedding cermony! I also thought her rate was significantly lower than most other wedding music vendors I looked into. I would highly recommend Karen if you need a violinist for your special day!
