Central Illinois Wedding Music ~ Ceremony at Ewing Manor

It was a chilly October day, but the sun was shining for Bonnie and Bruce as they were married at Bloomington’s Ewing Manor! The families all entered as part of the wedding party, along with the matron of honor and best man.  Their processional music was “King William’s March.”  The bride came down the aisle […]

Springfield Harpist ~ Wedding Ceremony at Lincoln Memorial Gardens

Shannon and Ollie were amazing to work with for their wedding!  They even came to the Hamilton’s Bridal Expo in Jacksonville last January to meet me and hear the harp in person.  With the ceremony outdoors at Springfield’s Lincoln Memorial Gardens, they were concerned about keeping the harp safe and shaded, and set up a […]

Quincy Wedding Harpist ~ Ceremony at the Oakley Lindsay Center

Prelude music greeted guests […]

I was accompanying the bride’s cousin, who was singing a couple of songs for the wedding, so I arrived extra early so we could rehearse together.  She was very […]

Central Illinois Wedding Musician ~ Ceremony at Allerton Park

It was the mother of the groom who originally contacted me about providing the music for this ceremony!  During the planning process, it can work well to delegate certain tasks to family members (such as locating available musicians), and then have the couple make their choices from the information that others have gathered for them.  […]

Springfield Wedding Ceremony Music ~ Wedding at The Rail Golf Course

Lori & Derrick were married on the last Saturday in June at The Rail Golf Course in Springfield, Illinois.  The rain moving through the area all afternoon made them have to move the ceremony inside the reception tent, but there were enough breaks in the showers that they were able to at least get some […]

Taylorville Wedding Harpist ~ Ceremony Music on a Family Farm

I first met Charlee and her family at a wedding expo when our booths were next to each other.  She and her family run a bridal shop in Taylorville, and they enjoyed listening to harp music all afternoon.  When she began making her wedding plans, Charlee knew exactly what she wanted for ceremony music!  It’s […]
