Beautiful singing everyone loved

I hired Karen and her husband Matt to sing for my mom’s funeral. When we walked into church and heard them singing Schubert’s Ave Marie I burst into tears, it was heavenly. My large family kept talking to me all day about how wonderful the singing was. Karen was so professional and worked with me to quickly to plan the music. Karen’s high notes are spectacular. Matt’s voice is beautiful and their voices blend perfectly. I highly recommend them for any wedding or funeral service.

Response from Karen Cook, Soprano:

Thanks so much, Sarah. I’m so glad that I was able to contribute something to your mother’s “special day,” and I hope that she would have liked it too! There was such an outpouring of love for her today; I know that she will be greatly missed.
