Wedding Music in Bremen, Indiana
My last wedding in June was at Agape Fellowship Church (also known as The Gathering Place) in Bremen, Indiana.

Castle in the Country & Mill Race Village Weddings
I can think of no better way to spend a Thursday evening than at a wedding! It’s even better if the ceremony is at the Castle in the Country Bed & Breakfast in Allegan, Michigan. It’s a peaceful setting, far away from crowds and busy roads. Ceremonies are held on a deck overlooking a lake. […]
Blue Dress Barn & Heston Hills Wedding Music
The Blue Dress Barn in Millburg, Michigan is a beautiful venue! You can have your ceremony outdoors, and then move inside the barn for the reception. I played for a wedding ceremony in the garden on June 12th, and the rain held off – but barely! The harp cover stayed within reach, just in case […]

On March 13th, I had the pleasure of playing for a wedding in the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis. It has amazing acoustics, and is a dramatic background for your wedding ceremony.

February was a busier month than usual, and started off with an exciting evening on Valentine’s Day. I spent the night playing harp duets at Strongbow Inn in Valparaiso, Indiana.

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 […]
