What a beautiful fall day to celebrate with Emma and Cody! They held their ceremony and reception at Greenwood Springs Event Center outside of Joplin, Missouri. Their Sunday daytime wedding was blessed with lovely weather for the outdoor event.
The ceremony was held on the lawn, with views of the brook and mill. As guests were seated, I played a mix of popular love songs and light classical pieces. The families of the bride and groom entered, and then I switched to “Canon in D” by Pachelbel for the wedding party processional.
Emma chose the romantic piece by Debussy, “Clair de Lune,” for her grand entrance. With this music playing, it’s like floating down the aisle! At the conclusion of the ceremony, they opted for the traditional recessional – “Wedding March” by Mendelssohn.
After the newly-married couple and the wedding party exited, guests made their way to the reception space right behind the ceremony site. I continued playing harp postlude music, which included upbeat classical pieces like “Trumpet Tune” and “Trumpet Voluntary.”
If you are planning a wedding in the Joplin area, please get in touch to discuss your music! I play throughout Southwest Missouri, as well as Northwest Arkansas, Eastern Oklahoma, and Eastern Kansas. Visit my website – Joplin MO Wedding Music – to start planning!
