Karly was organized, professional, and open to learning specific songs I wanted to use during our ceremony. I definitely heard plenty of compliments that night about the music, and myself was very impressed. I'm very glad I chose her for such an important element of the wedding.

We were absolutely thrilled to have Karly sing and play at our wedding! She was great in helping us pick out music. We weren't sure what we wanted, and Karly did a terrific job of guiding us to selections that were perfect for our ceremony. We received a lot of compliments from our guests and would definitely recommend her to other brides!

Karly played the piano at our wedding on Valentine's Day 2011 at the Empire State Building and my husband and I could not have been more happy with her professionalism and work. We are planning to have a reception in the future and we would definitely hire her. Thank you for making our day so special.

Thanks Alissa! I loved working with you and Ben, and even your mom and sisters who helped picked out music! It was so fun to sing live at your reception, too - what a great idea. Congrats to you and Ben!

GUEST
Karly played for our daughter's spring wedding and was delightful to work with. She was a pro and sang a beautiful orginal tune written for the occasion. It was such a lovely gift. She was fully prepared and was cool under pressure, since we did a lot of changing of the plans for the outdoor event where weather was a challenge, but she smiled and made it work effortlessly. Our daughter was delighted that she was also able to take many favorite tunes and make them an integral part of her special day. We couldn't have asked for a more professional pianist and vocalist. She was always working to make our daughter's day special for her in every way.

Thank you for such a beautiful review, Robbie :) I will never forget playing at Corie and Keith's wedding, amidst a tornado! The music was a small but special part of such a beautiful wedding. I am so honored to have been included. xoxo
GUEST
Karly was great to work with for our wedding. She was responsive to emails and really directed the process from the beginning. As we did not have strong opinions on songs, we were so grateful to have someone like Karly who could take our input and run with it. She was able to adapt to changes on the day of our wedding and made the day even more special.
If you are looking for memorable and uniquely special music for your Wedding Ceremony, I would highly recommend Karly Jurgensen. She will give you the care and personal attention you deserve as you are planning, and will create beautiful piano and vocal music for your special day.
Karly is an exceptional pianist and vocalist whose music is both heartfelt and thoughtful. She exhibits a professional demeanor in every aspect of her business, and I highly recommend her for your event.

FAQ for Karly Jurgensen, Wedding Pianist & Vocalist
No need to worry - this is my job and what I love to do! We'll start with a consultation and I'll offer as much or as little help as you need.
Do you play with other musicians?
Absolutely! If it were up to me, I'd have an entire orchestra play while you walk down the aisle. I love playing with other musicians. I can recommend talented players if you are interested in hiring them but don't know who to ask. I will individually arrange your song selections for the instrumentalists you hire. For example, if you hire a violinist, I will write music for him/her so that the piano and violin sound beautiful together and your songs sound unique.
How long will you play?
I will arrive at your ceremony an hour before, and I will begin playing 20-30 minutes prior to the start of your ceremony, depending on when your guests begin to arrive. After your ceremony, I will play instrumental music (solo piano or with other musicians you've hired) until all of your guests have left the ceremony.
Will you be at my rehearsal?
I always try my best to be at rehearsals, even if it's just for half an hour. If I absolutely can't be there, I will make sure all musical and technical details have been communicated between us, as well as between me and the coordinator or Liturgist at your church/venue, prior to the rehearsal.
When do you need to be paid?
Once you are sure you'd like to book me, or even if you just want to secure your date, you can send me a deposit for $50 and I will pencil you in. If you change your mind, or something comes up, I will issue you a full refund up to 6 months prior to your scheduled date. After 6 months, deposits are non-refundable. The remainder of your balance will be due the day of your wedding (or anytime before).
What forms of Payment do you accept?
Cash or checks, please!
My aunt's cousin's daughter sings in her church choir and we want her to sing at the ceremony ...
Great! It's always nice to have people you know and love play a role in your ceremony (and even nicer when they don't charge you!). But... let me just say: Make sure you have heard that person sing or play before you commit to having them take part. I could tell a few horror stories about the aunt who, unbeknownst to the bride and groom, couldn't carry a tune... or the cousin who found out when the ceremony started that she had terrible "stage" fright.
If you happen to have a musically-inclined relative or friend whom you'd love to participate in your ceremony, I will be happy to coordinate sending that person music and arranging a time to rehearse.
I don't know anything about music equipment ...
You don't have to ... I will talk to your venue's coordinator about sound details.
Can you sing/play outdoors?
Yes!
Do you sing and play the piano at the same time?
Yes! I started playing the piano when I was 8, and singing shortly thereafter. As a wedding musician, I have to be able to look at three things at once: my music, the ceremony, and my hands.
What do you charge?
It depends if I'm playing piano, singing, or both. It also depends what kind of ceremony you are having. If you contact me I would be happy to discuss my rates with you.
Should I invite you to my rehearsal dinner and reception?
It's a nice gesture, and I am grateful for any invitation (especially if it involves food) ... however, you should not feel obligated to invite me.
What do you love about creating wedding music?
I enjoy taking popular songs, or songs that people know, and turning them into beautiful instrumental versions at weddings. That way, people have the sense that the songs are familiar. I enjoy playing most popular wedding songs, but I always love it when couples are willing to go "outside the box" and choose songs that are less traditional yet more their style. All of your other wedding details are unique, so why shouldn't the music be as well?!
