Alecia and Cliff were married on a Tuesday evening at Chandler Hill Vineyards in Defiance, Missouri. Surrounded by their children, friends and family, their ceremony overlooked the hills of Missouri’s wine country just before sunset.
I played the prelude as guests arrived at the winery and were seated on the balcony. The groom and his children walked down the aisle to “Nothing Else Matters” by Metallica. The bride was escorted into the ceremony by her sons to Taylor Swift’s “Enchanted.”
They chose “The Luckiest” by Ben Folds for the unity ritual bringing their families together, and the recessional at the end of the ceremony was a joyful “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love).”
After photos, everyone enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the back patio of the winery. Harp music continued through the cocktail hour, and included light classics, pop songs from the 1990s through today, Broadway favorites, and jazz standards.
If you are planning a wedding in the greater St. Louis area, I’d love to provide the music for your day! Visit my website {St. Louis Harpist for Weddings} to get in touch and receive a quote!
