Northern Illinois Harpist ~ Wedding Music at Starved Rock State Park
When Marisa was looking for a musician for her ceremony, she wanted someone who was versatile enough to play the traditional pieces, but also have some more contemporary options available. The harp is the perfect instrument if you want a mix of classical and popular music, and I have a wide repertoire of both! The […]
Southwest Michigan Wedding Music ~ Chapel at the Morris Estate
Every year, I play the harp for several weddings at the Morris Chapel. It has gone through a few name changes (Morris Farms, Centre Meeting House), and now it is the Chapel at Morris Estates. The new owners have great plans for the coming years – including air conditioning! This is a popular location for […]
Grand Haven Harpist – Wedding Music on the Beach
Although I have had the chance to play several beach weddings in the past, this was the first time for Grand Haven City Beach. When I arrived at the beach, the first thing that I noticed is how busy the beach was. The planners who helped Kristen put together her beach wedding did an amazing job. […]
Chicago Harpist ~ Holy Family Catholic Church Wedding Ceremony
Michael and Amanda were blessed with a beautiful (but hot!) Chicago day for their wedding ceremony. The service took place at the magnificent Holy Family Catholic Church on Roosevelt road, near the University of Illinois Chicago campus. One of the oldest church buildings in Chicago (that means it’s not air conditioned!), its size dwarfs even […]
Southern Illinois Wedding Music – Effingham Wedding Harpist
Joe and Christina had a gorgeous day for a wedding on Lake Sara near Effingham, Illinois! The spot they picked was perfect with tons of shade for the guests and the bridal party with a nice breeze throughout the ceremony. Besides just being beautiful, the lake setting for this wedding had special meaning, as many […]
Beach Wedding Music ~ Southwest Michigan Harpist
I have played at the Lakeside Inn several times before (most memorably a few weeks ago when the ceremony carried on through a downpour – fortunately the harp stayed dry in an artists’ studio right behind the ceremony site), but this was my first time on their private Lake Michigan beach. It’s a beautiful setting, […]
Michigan Wedding Music ~ Harpist at the Shadowland Pavilion, Silver Beach
I love weekday weddings – especially for brides who are planning their ceremony in a popular destination. This Thursday evening ceremony was held in the Shadowland Pavilion on Silver Beach in St. Joseph, Michigan. Many of their family and friends made the trip to Southwest Michigan from Texas, so the holiday week was perfect timing […]
Mackinac Island Wedding Music ~ Mission Point Resort
I first met Gina & Joe when they attended a harp concert I gave in March at the Chicago School of Hot Yoga. It was the perfect opportunity for them to hear the harp in person, and imagine how well it would fit in with their wedding plans! Although they both live in Chicago, they […]
Central Illinois Wedding Music – Springfield Harpist
The one thing that you can say for certain about weekends in July is that they are hot! Fortunately for Monica and Marcus, they had a beautiful ceremony indoors on what seemed like the hottest weekend of the year. The couple tied the knot (or braids!) at Faith Lutheran Church in Springfield, Illinois. The couple […]
South Bend Wedding Music ~ St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Ceremony
I loved working with Julia and her family to plan her wedding ceremony music! She was so sweet when we had our consultation to pick out the harp music for each element of the service, and just beautiful on her wedding day. The ceremony was held inside (fortunately – it was a hot day that […]
