I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found Kim. It was very important to us to honor my brother-in-law with a service that would include music that we knew he would love. I provided Kim with the songs and was so appreciative that she professionally managed everything for me from that point forward. It was comforting knowing that I could put my trust in her and no longer had to worry. Kim exceeded our expectations. She has the most BEAUTIFUL voice, warm personality and a very classy demeanor.

Kimberley recently played at my mother’s memorial service and she was superb. Everyone loved her beautiful interpretations of the music we chose, and her amazing voice.
