Ritz-Carlton Wedding – St. Louis Harpist
On a rainy November day, Sara and Mason were married at the Ritz-Carlton in St. Louis. Fortunately, everything was indoors! Even with the grey skies, the solarium for the ceremony was cozy and beautiful. I played prelude music for guests to find their seats, and when the everyone was ready, switched […]
Wedding at Chandler Hill – St. Louis Harpist
Alecia and Cliff were married on a Tuesday evening at Chandler Hill Vineyards in Defiance, Missouri. Surrounded by their children, friends and family, their ceremony overlooked the hills of Missouri’s wine country just before sunset. I played the prelude as guests arrived at the winery and were seated on the balcony. The groom […]
Harpist in Pella, Iowa – Wedding at Tamory Hall
Danielle and Cole celebrated their wedding in Pella, Iowa. Their shared Dutch heritage made this “Little Holland” of the Midwest the perfect place to get married!

Twin Cities Wedding Harpist at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum
Immediately following my Wednesday wedding – a Thursday wedding! A weekday ceremony tends to be more intimate with a smaller guest list, such as this celebration at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. I have played at this venue before, but always in one of the gardens. This time, we were on the terrace and in the […]
Wedding Music in Madison – The Tinsmith
It was wonderful to be back at The Tinsmith for another wedding! Although I’m playing for weddings most weekends, it’s rare that I get back to the same venue multiple times – there are so many places for couples to get married! This one in particular is a beautiful location with separate spaces […]
Allerton Park Wedding – Central Illinois Harp Music
Lonndon was one of the most organized (and therefore the most relaxed!) brides I’ve ever encountered. When I reached out a month before her wedding to see what music she’d like and go over all of the logistical details, she responded right away with documents that had everything spelled out already. Amazing! When you have […]
Harpist in Milwaukee – Ceremony & Cocktail Hour Music
When having harp music for your ceremony just isn’t enough harp music, then book it for your cocktail hour, too! Sometimes you don’t have the opportunity to really enjoy listening as you are in the formalities of the ceremony, but can relax and appreciate all of the work you’ve put into planning by the time […]
Galena Wedding Music – Ceremony at Eagle Ridge Resort
It was another perfect outdoor wedding! Jill and Trevor celebrated with family and friends at Eagle Ridge Resort outside of Galena. This quaint northwest Illinois town is an easy getaway from many Midwestern cities, and has plenty to do for visitors. It is like a close-to-home destination wedding! The ceremony and cocktail hour […]
Chicago Wedding Harpist – Ceremony & Cocktail Hour Music in Oak Park
Caitlin and Jon were married in beautiful Oak Park at the Pleasant Home/John Farson House. It was a hot summer day, but the shade provided on the porch where the ceremony took place certainly helped keep harp and harpist comfortable (and in tune!). They had originally planned multiple songs for the different parts […]
Detroit Wedding Music – Harp & Violin Duet
Harp and violin is by far my most requested ensemble, and I love to collaborate with my professional musician colleagues! For this wedding, we had a unique set-up. The entire wedding celebration was held at The Shinola Hotel in downtown Detroit. There was a pre-ceremony cocktail hour in the Salon with the ceremony following in […]
