Northeast Indiana Wedding Harpist ~ Ceremony at Pokagon State Park

I have played for many weddings on the sundeck of the Potawatomi Inn, but this was the first time the weather wouldn’t cooperate for Becky and Jimmy’s outdoor ceremony.  Fortunately, the Lake James Ballroom is still a beautiful place to get married when the rain keeps everyone inside! The room was partially set up for […]

Harpist in Northeast Indiana ~ Wedding at Pokagon State Park

Emily and Adam celebrated their wedding at the Potawatomi Inn in Angola’s Pokagon State Park.  The ceremony was on the outdoor deck overlooking the Lake James, with the reception indoors in the ballroom.  Since it was such a hot day, I kept the harp indoors as long as possible before moving it outside.  The guests […]

The afternoon performance was at the Peabody Public Library in Columbia City, Indiana. The photo below is from the evening concert at the Carnegie Public Library in Angola, Indiana. It is never too […]

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 […]
