Valparaiso Harpist ~ Wedding Ceremony Music at Ogden Gardens
The last time I played for a wedding at Ogden Gardens (the end of June), it was so hot! Fortunately for Amy and Jacob, the late summer actually cooled off! Their August 18th ceremony at the park’s gazebo was not only beautiful, but their guests were comfortable and able to just enjoy the day. As […]
Harpist in Valparaiso ~ Wedding Ceremony Music at Ogden Gardens
Despite a very hot afternoon, Kristin & Brian’s wedding went off without any problems at Valparaiso’s Ogden Gardens. I was able to set the harp up inside the gazebo, where the shade kept the harp (and harpist!) from melting. The bride’s grandmother was especially enthralled with the harp! Rev. Doug Klukken of Free Spirit Church […]
Valparaiso Harpist ~ Wedding Music at the Valparaiso Country Club
Debra was planning her Indiana wedding from Texas, so we made all of the plans for her wedding music by email. With lots of sound clips on my website, it makes it easy to plan long-distance! She originally booked just solo harp, but added a violinist as we got closer to her date. The ceremony […]
Valparaiso Wedding Music ~ Taltree Arboretum Wedding Harpist
June 11th, 2011, was a very popular date for weddings! My first was at noon outside of Valparaiso, IN, at Taltree Arboretum. They have a beautiful setting for weddings at their pavilion by the lake. There is a lawn for outdoor ceremonies, but the pavilion is large enough to accommodate all of the guests if […]
Dinner Party Harpist – Strongbow Inn Valparaiso, Indiana
Recently, I got the chance to play background music for a dinner reception at the Strongbow Inn, located in Valparaiso, Indiana. This event was for an 8th grade girls’ and boys’ basketball team dinner. The teams were visiting the Valparaiso area to participate in a tournament at Valparaiso University. I may have been hired by the […]
Valentine’s Day ~ Romantic Harp Music (Middlebury & Valparaiso IN)
There is nothing more elegant and romantic than listening to harp music on Valentine’s Day! It is always a busy day for me, and this year was no exception. The day began with a solo performance that I gave for a tour group that was on a Valentine’s Day Mystery Tour. They enjoyed a family […]
Valparaiso Wedding Music ~ Valparaiso University Chapel of the Resurrection
Another beautiful fall day, and a beautiful setting for a wedding in the Valparaiso University Chapel. I graduated from VU with my music degree in 2001 (and Master’s in 2005), and it is always such a pleasure to get back on campus! The maid of honor for this wedding was also a harpist, and recommended […]
Valparaiso Wedding Harpist | Aberdeen Manor Gardens
I always love coming back to Aberdeen Manor! Denna, Jim, & their staff are amazing to work with, and always communicate well with vendors on your wedding day. It makes for a seamless and stress-free event for everyone involved! The bride’s only request was for “Canon in D” for her processional, and then traditional & […]
Inn at Aberdeen Wedding Ceremony ~ Valpo Harpist
My first outdoor wedding of the year was at the beautiful Inn at Aberdeen Bed & Breakfast on April 17th. Since I attended Valparaiso University, it’s always enjoyable to get back to the area! It seems like every year for my first outdoor ceremony, I forget my music clips – I did it again. Very […]
February Events
February was a busier month than usual, and started off with an exciting evening on Valentine’s Day. I spent the night playing harp duets at Strongbow Inn in Valparaiso, Indiana. It’s not often that you get to see and hear two harps together! We played a variety of romantic selections from many eras of popular music, […]
