Southern Illinois Wedding Music – Effingham Wedding Harpist
Joe and Christina had a gorgeous day for a wedding on Lake Sara near Effingham, Illinois! The spot they picked was perfect with tons of shade for the guests and the bridal party with a nice breeze throughout the ceremony.

Beach Wedding Music ~ Southwest Michigan Harpist
I have played at the Lakeside Inn several times before (most memorably a few weeks ago when the ceremony carried on through a downpour – fortunately the harp stayed dry in an artists’ studio right behind the ceremony site), but this was my first time on their private Lake Michigan beach. It’s a beautiful setting, […]
Michigan Wedding Music ~ Harpist at the Shadowland Pavilion, Silver Beach
I love weekday weddings – especially for brides who are planning their ceremony in a popular destination. This Thursday evening ceremony was held in the Shadowland Pavilion on Silver Beach in St. Joseph, Michigan. Many of their family and friends made the trip to Southwest Michigan from Texas, so the holiday week was perfect timing […]
Mackinac Island Wedding Music ~ Mission Point Resort
I first met Gina & Joe when they attended a harp concert I gave in March at the Chicago School of Hot Yoga. It was the perfect opportunity for them to hear the harp in person, and imagine how well it would fit in with their wedding plans! Although they both live in Chicago, they […]
Southwest Michigan Wedding Music ~ Lakeside Inn Ceremony
No matter how well you prepare for your wedding, the weather is always unpredictable! This is especially true on the shores of Lake Michigan, where the rain can come out of nowhere – or circle around you, or disappear all together. Gretchen and Joel planned for an outdoor ceremony at the Lakeside Inn in Southwest […]
Cincinnati Wedding Harpist ~ Manor House Wedding Ceremony
Teresa and Gordon had a beautiful day for their outdoor wedding ceremony at the Manor House in Mason, Ohio. Located not too far north of Cincinnati, this is a stunning venue worth checking out if you are in the area! They have multiple ballrooms and locations for outdoor ceremonies, and this ceremony was held under […]
Winona Lake & Warsaw Wedding Harp Music
What’s better than a harpist at your wedding? How about two harpists at your wedding! The bride was moved to tears when she found out from her mom that there would be two harpists for the ceremony. For Shelli and Justin’s big day at the Hillside Amphitheatre on the shores of Winona Lake, we played […]
Valparaiso Wedding Music ~ Taltree Arboretum Wedding Harpist
June 11th, 2011, was a very popular date for weddings! My first was at noon outside of Valparaiso, IN, at Taltree Arboretum. They have a beautiful setting for weddings at their pavilion by the lake. There is a lawn for outdoor ceremonies, but the pavilion is large enough to accommodate all of the guests if […]
Springfield IL Wedding Music | Villa Maria & State House Inn Wedding
Out at Villa Maria on Lake Springfield, the cicadas were thick! The outdoor wedding ceremony went ahead as planned anyway, and the guests just kept brushing them off. The maid of honor had to keep a close watch on the bride’s veil – the giant bugs seemed to like it! When I arrived (extra early, as […]
Chicago Harpist | Joliet Wedding Music at Pilcher Park
Deanna planned a beautiful ceremony at the gazebo in Joliet’s Pilcher Park for Saturday, June 4th. The rain held off, but it was hot! Fortunately, the gazebo provided shade for the harp and harpist. Guests waited under the trees until the ceremony was ready to begin, so they didn’t have to sit in the sun, […]
