Central Illinois Harpist ~ Wedding Music at Lincoln Park, Springfield

The bridge in Springfield’s Lincoln Park is a beautiful location for a wedding ceremony.  It is quietly nestled away from the rest of the park and can provide a beautiful backdrop for a wedding as it did for Tracey and Justin’s ceremony.

Wedding Music in South Bend ~ Ceremony at Pine Creek Church of the Brethren

The most interesting part about this wedding for me was that the bride’s mom and step-dad, who happened to be the officiant, were pleasantly surprised that the bride picked harp music for the wedding.  The most comical part had to be some of the things that the flower girl decided to say!  During my wedding […]

Grand Rapids Harpist ~ Wedding at Fallasburg Park

Katy & Jay made some unique and eclectic music choices for their ceremony.  There’s no rule that says weddings have to be traditional!  The ceremony took place overlooking the river in Fallasburg Park in Lowell, Michigan (just East of Grand Rapids).  They provided a pop-up canopy for the harp, so that it wouldn’t be affected […]

Northwest Indiana Harpist ~ Hammond Wedding Musician

My wedding on August 6th was a special event as I got to play a violin and harp duet with the bride’s 13-year-old nephew.  At the beginning of the performance he was a bit nervous, but he did a great job and provided a wonderful touch to the wedding day. The music selected by the […]
