Bloomington Harpist – Wedding Ceremony at Evelyn Chapel
Jennifer and Kevin involved many of their family members in their wedding, but knew the responsibility for the majority of the wedding music was better left to a professional so their guests could more fully enjoy the ceremony without that worry! The service took place Illinois Wesleyan University’s Evelyn Chapel. While guests arrived, the harp […]
Wedding at Funks Grove: Central Illinois Harpist
I have played for several weddings at Funks Grove, many of which have taken place outdoors in the Chapel of the Templed Trees. A rainy Friday the 13th moved this ceremony indoors, and the historic chapel on the grounds was a beautiful and cozy back-up! Katelyn and Chris didn’t want traditional music for their ceremony. […]
Central Illinois Wedding Musician
Weddings around the December holidays are always a little extra magical! Everyone is in a festive mood, and venues are already decorated with Christmas trees, lights, and other special touches. Ashley and Alec had both their ceremony and reception at the Hesed House in rural Heyworth, Illinois. They requested that everyone wear black, which contrasted […]
Christmas Eve ~ Central IL Harpist
This year, we were back in-person at College Park Christian Church! I’ve played for their Christmas Eve services for several years. Last year, it was pre-recorded, but for 2021 we were able to meet together in the sanctuary again. I played for a half-hour prelude prior to the evening service. Music included traditional Christmas carols, […]
Harp Music for Christmas Eve
For the past four years, I’ve spent Christmas Eve playing prelude for two services at College Park Christian Church. Although it was pre-recorded rather than in-person, I was back again this year! I also recorded harp solo selections for Wesley Chapel in Jacksonville, and you can view the whole service: https://fb.watch/2Hk1V51Sq-/. On Christmas Eve, I […]

Funks Grove Wedding Harpist
After celebrating my daughter’s third birthday with a construction-themed party (what all little girls request, right?) in the morning, I played for a wedding that afternoon at the Funks Grove Chapel in the Trees. As the wedding party came down the tree-lined aisle, I played “A Thousand Years” from Twilight – Breaking Dawn. Brittany’s chosen […]
Bloomington-Normal Harpist – Christmas Eve Harp Music
Back at College Park Christian Church for Christmas Eve! I played there last year, and the music director contacted me again in January to be sure they got on my calendar again for this year. Always good to plan far in advance for popular dates, and Christmas Eve is one of the most requested performance […]

Nothing is more beautiful than harp music on Christmas Eve! This year, I played prelude music for two services at College Park Christian Church in Normal, Illinois. The sanctuary was beautiful and peaceful, and the sound of harp music playing familiar Christmas carols was a welcome respite from the mad dash that always seems to […]
