Southwest Michigan Wedding Music | Fernwood Botanic Gardens Harpist
It was a busy Friday afternoon at the Fernwood Botanic Garden. When I arrived to set up, there was a wedding rehearsal concluding, and two more scheduled for later that evening! Fortunately, we were all blessed with perfect weather. While I was tuning, the groom and groomsmen wandered over, and had lots of questions to ask […]
Ohio Wedding Harpist ~ Adena Mansion & Gardens, Chillicothe, OH
What a beautiful day for a wedding. I was thrilled to be invited to play for the ceremony at the Adena Mansion & Gardens in Chillicothe, Ohio! Being fond of animals, I especially liked that there were several four-legged “guests.” Upon arrival at the Adena Mansion I was greeted by donkeys, a white-tailed deer, and […]
Southwest Michigan Harpist ~ St. Joseph Wedding Ceremony
On a Sunday afternoon in May, I provided harp music for a wedding at the John E.N. Howard Bandshell in Lake Bluff Park. This wedding and concert venue is just a short distance away from St. Joseph’s Silver Beach, where I had an exceptionally windy wedding ceremony last fall! The bride & groom had a back-up plan […]
Miami Florida Wedding Harpist ~ Crandon Park Beach
I love destination weddings ~ and there’s nothing better than playing for a ceremony on the beach and escaping a snowstorm in the Midwest! I took the opportunity to extend my “vacation” and spend a couple of days in Key West before the January 8th wedding. Chris and Joy worked with Forever in Love ~ Elegant Beach […]
Minneapolis Wedding Harpist | Minnesota Landscape Arboretum
When I booked an outdoor wedding for October in Minneapolis, I was worried about the weather. There could have been snow, but we were all extremely lucky to have an 80-degree afternoon at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, MN. It was so bright out that the bride wore sunglasses throughout the ceremony! The ceremony took […]
Battle Creek Harpist ~ Kellogg House Wedding Ceremony Music
The bride for my last wedding in September contacted me when the harpist she had originally hired fell through. With just a few weeks to go before their wedding, that harpist wasn’t returning phone calls or emails, so they went on a search for a replacement. I’m always glad to help out for last-minute bookings if I’m available! […]
Hudson, Wisconsin Wedding Harpist
This ceremony was held at Prospect Park in Hudson, WI. It was a beautiful venue, especially on a crisp fall afternoon. During the prelude, I played a mix of popular and classical selections, including: All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera Fields of Gold by Sting I See You My Beloved ~ a […]
Willow Harbor Vineyard Wedding Music – Three Oaks, MI
One of the hardest things about being self-employed is that you don’t get sick days. The day before this wedding, I came down with a terrible cold. But no matter what, I was going to be there (even if I had to tuck tissues into the back of the harp)! I’ve played for weddings at […]
South Bend Wedding Harpist | Hilton Garden Inn
Notre Dame football home games usually mean a Saturday off for me, but the Friday and Sunday on either side are typically booked. On Sunday, September 5th, everyone was in good spirits after an Irish win! It was also a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding in the courtyard of the Hilton Garden Inn / Gillespie […]
Wedding on Silver Beach | St. Joseph, Michigan
If ever the job of wedding harpist earned combat pay, this one deserved it! After an unbelievably hot summer, the weather finally cooled off, and it looked like it would be comfortable to play outside for once. The ceremony was set to take place on Silver Beach in St. Joseph, Michigan. The closer I got to […]
