Battle Creek Wedding Music ~ Harpist for an Outdoor Ceremony
This summer has had some crazy weather on the weekends! It seems as if it has either been extremely hot or raining. Last Saturday, we had rain in Michigan. The ceremony was scheduled to take place on the lawn outside the Historic Sullivan Barn in downtown Battle Creek, MI. When I arrived about an hour […]
Michigan Harpist ~ Willow Harbor Vineyard Wedding Ceremony Music
Willow Harbor Vineyards in Southwest Michigan is one of my favorite wedding venues. I play for ceremonies there several times each summer, and I was back for Jenni & Kyle’s beautiful outdoor wedding in the Chardonnay Vineyard. The three bridesmaids entered to Pachelbel’s “Canon in D,” and the bride’s processional was Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus” (“Here Comes the Bride”). […]
Southwest Michigan Wedding Music ~ Chapel at the Morris Estate
Every year, I play the harp for several weddings at the Morris Chapel. It has gone through a few name changes (Morris Farms, Centre Meeting House), and now it is the Chapel at Morris Estates. The new owners have great plans for the coming years – including air conditioning! This is a popular location for […]

It’s a beautiful setting, […]

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 […]
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 […]
Harp Stork!!!
My new harp arrived today! It is a 36-string Blevins lever harp, and I got it for playing outdoor weddings (especially the ones on the beach that the larger pedal harps just can’t get to). It’s also going to be great for my students to use at their lessons. I’ve been wanting a large Celtic […]
