Springfield Harpist ~ Wedding Ceremony at Lincoln Memorial Gardens
Shannon and Ollie were amazing to work with for their wedding! They even came to the Hamilton’s Bridal Expo in Jacksonville last January to meet me and hear the harp in person.

Bloomington Harpist ~ Wedding Ceremony at Funks Grove
It was a hot Saturday afternoon for Danielle & Andrew’s wedding, but the shade in the Chapel in the Trees made the outdoor ceremony bearable.

Quincy Wedding Harpist ~ Ceremony at the Oakley Lindsay Center
Jessi & Andy really transformed Quincy’s Oakley Lindsay Center for their ceremony and reception!

Cleveland Wedding Harpist ~ Ceremony at Gervasi Vineyard in Canton
I was thrilled to spend another Sunday afternoon at Gervasi Vineyard in North Canton!

Wedding Musician in Jacksonville ~ Ceremony at Rammelkamp Chapel
Chelsea and Keith met while they were students at Illinois College, so they returned there for their wedding ceremony. Their guest list almost filled Rammelkamp Chapel!

To complete a three-weekend wedding, I headed to Starlight, Indiana for Adrienne & Joshua’s ceremony at Huber’s Plantation Hall.

The orchard and winery were very busy that day, thanks to the beautiful weather and […]
Beloit Harpist ~ Wedding Music in Southern Wisconsin
I’m sure that when Mary & Mel were planning their wedding for July, they never expected temperatures in the 60’s! Although the sky was overcast and it was a little chilly, they were able to have their ceremony outdoors on the grounds of the Country Club of Beloit. A tent kept the worries about rain […]
Central Illinois Wedding Musician ~ Ceremony at Allerton Park
It was the mother of the groom who originally contacted me about providing the music for this ceremony! During the planning process, it can work well to delegate certain tasks to family members (such as locating available musicians), and then have the couple make their choices from the information that others have gathered for them.
