St. Louis Harpist ~ Harp & Singer for a Wedding Ceremony
What a beautiful venue! Mike and Ginger had 60-degree temperatures for their December ceremony. Inside, however, the refurbished church was lit with soft blue lights, draped in white, and looked like a winter wonderland. The Christmas trees on the stage completed the look! The Main Street Abbey in Columbia, Illinois, was the setting for both […]
Wedding at Pere Marquette ~ St. Louis Harp, Violin, & Cello Trio
This was supposed to be my final outdoor wedding of 2018, but temperatures in the low 50s moved the ceremony indoors. Much cozier by the fireplace at Pere Marquette! Close to St. Louis, it still feels a world away, and has beautiful views of the woods and the river. The bride and groom booked not […]
St. Louis Harpist ~ Wedding on a Farm
Weddings at home are always so personal, but certainly have their logistical challenges! Fortunately, the groom’s family farm provided both a lovely ceremony site, a place for the reception tent, and plenty of parking for guests! They made a wise choice hiring a wedding planner to make everything come together, and had the most beautiful […]
Chandler Hill Vineyards Wedding {St. Louis Harpist}
It was a beautiful afternoon for Lara and Matt’s wedding, even if it felt more like summer than September! Their ceremony took place on the deck of Chandler Hill Vineyards in Defiance, Missouri, with the reception inside their banquet hall. Not too far from St. Louis, this is a beautiful countryside venue that is still […]
St. Louis Harpist {Lemp Grand Hall Wedding}
I loved working with Cece and Alex on their wedding music! Both bride and groom were involved in the planning from the start. They had a lovely, heartfelt ceremony at the Lemp Loft in St. Louis, conducted by the groom’s uncle. The bride’s great-aunt, who had just celebrated her 99th birthday, was even in attendance! […]
St. Louis Harpist – Business After Hours Entertainment
Not every event I play for is a wedding! Although that is the majority of my bookings, I also provide music for everything from holiday dinners to baptisms to corporate parties. When Claywell Asset Management was hosting the Riverbed Growth Association’s Business After Hours event, they wanted to “wow” their guests with live harp music! […]
Wedding at Pere Marquette Lodge | St. Louis Harpist
Another beautiful outdoor wedding! This time at Pere Marquette State Park, on the grounds directly across from the Lodge. Very convenient for guests having one venue for the ceremony, reception, and lodging, and all right on the Illinois River. Just an hour outside of St. Louis, it is the perfect rustic escape. The lawn where the […]
St. Louis Harpist – Awards Night Musician in De Soto, MO
On a Friday evening, the residents of De Soto, Missouri, packed the Knights of Columbus Hall for an awards banquet. The Chamber of Commerce honored local graduates receiving college scholarships, as well as area business leaders and volunteers. I provided harp music throughout the social hour and dinner. They had no special song requests, so […]
St. Louis Funeral Musician ~ Harpist
Playing for a memorial service is an honor, and I’m so glad this family included me in their plans. The visitation and service took place at the United Hebrew Congregation in St. Louis. The family – musicians themselves – requested that I play ambient music that wasn’t sad or recognizable for the visitation. The harp […]
St. Louis Harpist ~ Wedding at the Forest Park Jewel Box
The Jewel Box in Forest Park is the perfect venue for a winter wedding! Even with cold temperatures outside, the inside is blooming and beautiful. It’s as close as Amber & Stephen could come to having a garden wedding in December. As guests found their seats, I played a variety of classical and popular songs. […]
