Another picture from the December 2009 holiday season. This is an open house that the Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce hosts annually. This is my third year providing harp music for the occasion, and I finally got a picture! Christmas Harp Music
November Weddings ~ Indiana Harpist
November is not a very busy month for weddings – only three for me this year! On the 6th, I played for a beautiful ceremony at the First Christian Reformed Church in Demotte, Indiana. Her flowers were stunning, incorporating peacock feathers in a rich variety of fall colors: They used rose petals to line the […]
Tis the Season!
Even though there are fewer weddings as the weather gets colder, December is always whirlwind of corporate parties and other Christmas celebrations. So far this year, I have played for two law office open house events, one chamber of commerce party, and two mini-concerts at a shopping mall. This picture is from an open house […]
A Ski Resort Wedding In Summer ~ Grand Rapids Harpist

It was a beautiful early fall day for an outdoor ceremony at the Cannonsburg Ski Resort in Belmont, Michigan.

The sanctuary of this church is stunningly beautiful. My big surprise of the day […]

Indianapolis Wedding Harpist
I knew this wedding would be beautiful when Nicole told me her plans! It was in the Conrad Hotel ballroom in downtown Indianapolis, and she had put together a stellar list of vendors to make it all come together. It was a traditional Jewish ceremony, but the music they chose had a definite modern twist: […]
Wedding at Krape Park, Freeport, Illinois
August began with a trip to Freeport, IL, for the wedding of Nicole & Mark. The Duck Pond at Krape Park was a new venue for me, so I arrived WAY too early to scope out the location. Even though it rained the whole drive there, the skies cleared for the 3:00pm ceremony. The ducks […]
