I’ve had beautiful weather for my outdoor wedding ceremonies this year! A little hotter than last year, but not a single one has had to move inside. On June 25th, I played for a ceremony on the terrace at Centennial Park in Munster, Indiana. I was set up behind and a level higher than the guests, so the sound from the harp could travel toward them, and I could see the wedding party and bride make their entrances. It made it much easier to time the music appropriately!
For the bridal party processional, I played “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic, followed by Wagner’s traditional “Bridal Chorus” for the bride’s entrance. During the sand ceremony, I played Schubert’s “Ave Maria,” and sent the guests off to the party with an upbeat “All My Loving” by the Beatles.
Just before the recessional, the couple and their bridal party released butterflies. Beautiful!
