"On my engagement night, I relied on Kari Gardner and her beautiful music, to create the perfect mood. I surprised my fiance to be by asking her to escort me with a glass of wine to the rooftop of our condo building. What Lori heard upon setting foot on our rooftop overlooking the skyscrapers of Chicago and Lake Michigan on a gorgeous summer evening, was the soothing and emotionally enriched music from Kari's harp. Kari's music enhanced the special emotions that my fiance and I were about to experience. I proceeded to ask Lori to marry me and spent the next few hours enjoying the scene, eating dinner, and listening to nearly every romantic song that one could think of under the stars. Kari's professionalism, ability to play a wide-range of songs, and overall skill were extremely impressive. Without her music, this most important evening simply would not have been the same."
