Willow Harbor Vineyard Wedding Music – Three Oaks, MI
One of the hardest things about being self-employed is that you don’t get sick days. The day before this wedding, I came down with a terrible cold. But no matter what, I was going to be there (even if I had to tuck tissues into the back of the harp)! I’ve played for weddings at […]
South Bend Wedding Harpist | Hilton Garden Inn
Notre Dame football home games usually mean a Saturday off for me, but the Friday and Sunday on either side are typically booked. On Sunday, September 5th, everyone was in good spirits after an Irish win! It was also a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding in the courtyard of the Hilton Garden Inn / Gillespie […]
Wedding on Silver Beach | St. Joseph, Michigan
If ever the job of wedding harpist earned combat pay, this one deserved it! After an unbelievably hot summer, the weather finally cooled off, and it looked like it would be comfortable to play outside for once. The ceremony was set to take place on Silver Beach in St. Joseph, Michigan. The closer I got to […]
South Bend Wedding & Reception Harpists
The last Saturday in August, I was part of a harp duet for a wedding ceremony and reception. The ceremony took place at the Northern Indiana Center for History, in the gardens of the Oliver Mansion. This is one of my favorite venues, and I play for ceremonies there several times a year. I’m usually set up on […]
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 & […]
Saugatuck, Michigan Wedding Harpist
Another Saugatuck wedding! The weather was perfect – finally a Saturday that wasn’t crazy hot! The ceremony and reception were held at the Ravines Golf Course. It’s a secluded venue, far away from the weekend beach crowds. The colors were cranberry and peach, and the bride requested traditional wedding music. The wedding party entered to […]
South Bend Wedding Music
I had the wonderful pleasure of providing harp music for Brian and Trisha’s August 14th wedding ceremony and reception. The ceremony was held in the Holy Family Catholic Church in South Bend. I worked with the church’s organist and a vocal soloist, and loved being able to listen to them during the service! The prelude […]
Wedding Music in Saugatuck, Michigan
On August 14th, I played harp for a wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at the Laketown Conference Center in Saugatuck, Michigan. The bride’s family wanted to include several Celtic tunes to represent their Irish heritage. They chose some specific pieces, then allowed me to choose some others to add to the mix. The prelude consisted of: Suogan […]
Mackinac Island Wedding Harpist
There is truly no more romantic wedding destination than Mackinac Island. Situated in Lake Huron, it is accessible only by boat or airplane, and there are no cars allowed on the island. Transportation is on foot, bike, or by horse-drawn taxi. It’s a wonderful place to get away from modern “conveniences” and have an old-world […]
Chicago Wedding Harpist – Navy Pier Crystal Gardens
Braving the traffic for Lollapalooza (which turned out not bad at all), I headed into downtown Chicago for a Friday evening wedding ceremony. It took place in the Crystal Gardens at Navy Pier – a stunning venue! Usually, downtown Chicago weddings are a logistical nightmare, with parking blocks away, no loading zone, etc., but Navy Pier […]
