Kalamazoo Harpist ~ Wedding Music at Pine West

My wedding on September 3rd was an outdoor event where the weather seemed to be timed and located just perfectly!  When I arrived at Pine West, the sun was shining and the temperature was pleasant.  Just a few miles south, the weather was so bad that major college football games were being put on hold […]

Iowa City Harpist ~ Wedding at Old Brick & Congregational UCC

I had such a wonderful time planning and playing for Courtney and Raven’s wedding!  Their ceremony was held at the Congregational United Church of Christ, followed by the reception just a short walk away at Old Brick.  Both buildings are right on the University of Iowa campus, so I invited my dad to be my […]

Ilse and Miguel had a beautiful wedding ceremony!  It took place at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Summit, Illinois (a southwest suburb of Chicago).  The sanctuary was overflowing with flowers, and they lined the aisle with large pink and white arrangements that sat on columns and were topped with candles.  They draped white fabric around […]

Chicago Harpist ~ Wedding Ceremony at Grace Lutheran, River Forest

When I received the music list from Morgan, I knew this was going to be an amazing wedding!  Not only that, but instead of just having the harp as a solo instrument, she opted to create a trio of harp, flute & cello.  We also coordinated with the church’s organist for an even more majestic […]

Northern Illinois Harpist ~ Wedding Music at Starved Rock State Park

When Marisa was looking for a musician for her ceremony, she wanted someone who was versatile enough to play the traditional pieces, but also have some more contemporary options available.  The harp is the perfect instrument if you want a mix of classical and popular music, and I have a wide repertoire of both! The […]

Chicago Harpist ~ Holy Family Catholic Church Wedding Ceremony

Michael and Amanda were blessed with a beautiful (but hot!) Chicago day for their wedding ceremony.  The service took place at the magnificent Holy Family Catholic Church on Roosevelt road, near the University of Illinois Chicago campus.  One of the oldest church buildings in Chicago (that means it’s not air conditioned!), its size dwarfs even […]
