Northern Illinois Harpist ~ Wedding Ceremony Music in LaSalle
For the first time in the many weddings that I played, I was assigned a “handler!” His entire job was to make sure that the harp did not get wet during the ceremony. When the day began for Chad and Angela, it looked like the wedding plans were going to change because the sky really […]
