Danielle and Cole celebrated their wedding in Pella, Iowa. Their shared Dutch heritage made this “Little Holland” of the Midwest the perfect place to get married!
The ceremony and reception were both held at Tamory Hall downtown. The space, located on the second floor of the historic building, boasts exposed brick walls, lots of natural light, and multiple spaces to configure as you prefer for your event.
As guests found their seats for the ceremony, I played a variety of classical and contemporary harp solos. The wedding party came down the aisle to Leonard Cohen’s beautiful “Hallelujah,” followed by the bride to “Concerning Hobbits” from Lord of the Rings.
During the unity ritual, they opted for something more classical – Debussy’s “Clair de Lune.” It’s a long piece, but easily shortened to any length you need! The recessional was one that has been becoming more requested lately, “This Must be the Place” by the Talking Heads.
The cocktail hour immediately followed the ceremony, so it made sense to keep the harp music going as well! They requested all classical pieces, so I played some that people would recognize as well as some that are not necessarily familiar but sound gorgeous on the harp.
Music for your wedding can be classical and traditional or contemporary and unique – or a bit of everything! What is important is that your music is meaningful to you. I love working with couples to come up with a customized playlist that reflects your preferences and includes your favorite songs. Providing music for weddings and events throughout Iowa, I would love to discuss your plans! Find out more by visiting my website: Pella Iowa Wedding Music.
