Harpist for a Fort Wayne Wedding Ceremony
A hot day for an outdoor wedding! It was held on the patio at the Orchard Ridge Country Club in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I found a spot in the shade for the harp, and it went well. If you are having an outdoor wedding in the summer, make sure that you provide a place in […]
The Bride Wore Purple ~ A Non-Traditional Wedding in Indiana
When Renee contacted me about her wedding music, I new this would be a completely non-traditional ceremony! There was to be no processional, no “giving away” of the bride, no matching bridesmaid dresses, and she would be, yes – wearing purple! It took place at Bonneyville Mill County Park in Bristol, Indiana on a hot […]
Wedding at Krape Park, Freeport, Illinois
August began with a trip to Freeport, IL, for the wedding of Nicole & Mark. The Duck Pond at Krape Park was a new venue for me, so I arrived WAY too early to scope out the location. Even though it rained the whole drive there, the skies cleared for the 3:00pm ceremony. The ducks […]

Spring Weddings
I’ve been fortunate so far this summer – nearly all of my weddings have been outdoor, and not a single rain-out! It’s been a great start to the “season.” A few pictures: The beautiful flowers at my wedding on June 15th were done by the Flower Cart in Chesterton, Indiana. Although it was definitely on […]
October Weddings & Pictures
I’ve been very bad at getting things posted this past month, so this will be a long one! My most recent wedding was at Sergeant Means Park in Olympia Fields, IL. The room has GREAT acoustics, and the bride selected some very unique music for her ceremony. We started with “Moon River,” and the bride’s […]

A Three-Wedding Weekend
What a weekend! Three wedding ceremonies & several students crammed into just a couple of days. What can I say – I love to stay busy! On Friday, I played for a wedding in a small country church. The late mother of the groom was a harpist, so the bride’s family hired me in her […]
