Michigan Wedding Harpist: Kalamazoo & Niles
On the last Saturday in June, I had two wedding ceremonies for which I played the harp. The first was an outdoor wedding in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the Kalamazoo Nature Center. For the prelude, the bride requested the traditional Welsh folk songs “By Kell’s Waters” and “Suogan,” along with “Sheep May Safely Graze” by Bach and “All […]
Wedding Music in Bremen, Indiana
My last wedding in June was at Agape Fellowship Church (also known as The Gathering Place) in Bremen, Indiana. It’s a beautiful and simple chapel in a small town just a few minutes south of South Bend. It was a little warm (no air conditioning), but everything turned out nicely! The colors were orange and […]
Weddings in Mishawaka
It’s nice when my schedule works out to have two weddings directly across the street from one another on the same day! The first ceremony was at Albright United Methodist Church in Mishawaka. This is my beautiful Webster Laurel Leaf harp set up in the sanctuary: The only member of the bridal party was the […]
Harp Music for a Catholic Wedding Mass
This wedding was unique in that I never actually spoke with the bride. She emailed me a couple of song choices, and put me in touch with the music director at her church. Between the two of us, we came up with a wonderful variety of music that was performed by a combination of harp, guitar, […]
Harpist for a Renaissance Wedding Ceremony
On April 10th, my new Laurel Leaf harp had its public debut. I’ve had this harp for a little over a year, and have been using it for teaching and practicing. Now it’s broken in and ready to perform! The wedding colors were black and gold, so it fit in perfectly. The ceremony was held […]

On March 13th, I had the pleasure of playing for a wedding in the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis. It has amazing acoustics, and is a dramatic background for your wedding ceremony. It gives your photographers a chance to shoot from above, giving your wedding pictures a unique perspective. The bride opted to have her ceremony […]
February Events
February was a busier month than usual, and started off with an exciting evening on Valentine’s Day. I spent the night playing harp duets at Strongbow Inn in Valparaiso, Indiana. It’s not often that you get to see and hear two harps together! We played a variety of romantic selections from many eras of popular music, […]
November Weddings ~ Indiana Harpist
November is not a very busy month for weddings – only three for me this year! On the 6th, I played for a beautiful ceremony at the First Christian Reformed Church in Demotte, Indiana. Her flowers were stunning, incorporating peacock feathers in a rich variety of fall colors: They used rose petals to line the […]
September Ceremony & Reception: St. Adalbert’s and Greek Orthodox Hall
The first Saturday in September I actually got to stay close to home! The ceremony took place at St. Adalbert’s Catholic Church in South Bend, Indiana, and the reception followed at St. Andrew Greek Orthodox Church Hall, also in South Bend. The sanctuary of this church is stunningly beautiful. My big surprise of the day […]
Indianapolis Wedding Harpist
I knew this wedding would be beautiful when Nicole told me her plans! It was in the Conrad Hotel ballroom in downtown Indianapolis, and she had put together a stellar list of vendors to make it all come together. It was a traditional Jewish ceremony, but the music they chose had a definite modern twist: […]
