Harpist in Flint, Michigan – Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music
When you can’t get enough harp music at just your ceremony, book me for your cocktail hour, too! This is especially true if there are music restrictions in place at your ceremony venue (typically if in a house of worship). That way, even if your favorite songs aren’t permitted at your ceremony, you can still […]
Detroit Wedding Music – Harp & Violin Duet

Wedding Harpist in Detroit – Ceremony at Shepherd’s Hollow
Katelyn and Zared were bravely planning an outdoor wedding in November – and they got it!

Ann Arbor Wedding Harpist – Ceremony at Zingerman’s Cornman Farms
Fall was in the air for Morgan and Cody’s wedding! Their ceremony and reception both took place at Zingerman’s Cornman Farms in Dexter, Michigan, not far from Ann Arbor. I set up the harp on the farmhouse porch so it would be sheltered from the wind and I’d be able to see everyone come down […]

Detroit Harpist {Library Christmas Concert}
The best news of my holiday season is that – so far – I haven’t had to move my harp in the snow! I know it’s coming, but I’m thankful for every Christmas gig that doesn’t involve shoveling. I was invited to present a program of holiday harp music for the Romeo District Library in […]
Port Huron Harpist ~ Music for a Wedding Ceremony
Kelsey and Nathan were married at a friend’s home in Port Huron, Michigan, right on the shores of Lake Huron. Â They could not have asked for a more beautiful setting, and had perfect weather, too!
