Elkhart Wedding Harpist ~ Zion Lutheran, Bristol
For a February wedding, Kirsti & David had a beautiful afternoon with clear blue skies – and just enough snow on the ground to remind everyone that it was still winter! Planning from California for an Indiana wedding was a bit of a challenge, but she had local friends assisting, and we were able to […]
South Bend Harpist ~ Tippecanoe Place Wedding
I had two weddings this January – one on a beach in Miami, one in snowy South Bend! Winter weddings pose some challenges for planning, but if you aren’t afraid of the cold, it’s a great time to get married! The lighting for pictures is better, you will have your pick of vendors without competition […]
Miami Florida Wedding Harpist ~ Crandon Park Beach
I love destination weddings ~ and there’s nothing better than playing for a ceremony on the beach and escaping a snowstorm in the Midwest! I took the opportunity to extend my “vacation” and spend a couple of days in Key West before the January 8th wedding. Chris and Joy worked with Forever in Love ~ Elegant Beach […]
Auburn, Indiana Harpist ~ Duesenberg Museum Wedding
On New Year’s Eve, I was part of a harp duet for a wedding reception at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum in Auburn, Indiana. For the cocktail hour, we were set up in the showroom of the museum, surrounded by classic cars. The harps looked (and sounded) amazing in there! The music we played included […]
Northern Indiana Harpist ~ Goshen College Wedding
I love December weddings! My last wedding ceremony of the year was on December 19th – a Sunday afternoon. When all of the students have left for the semester, college campuses are so peaceful, and even more so when they are covered with a light blanket of snow. This ceremony was held in Rieth Recital Hall […]
Southwest Michigan Wedding Harpist ~ St. Mary’s Catholic, Niles, MI
Out of all my December weddings this year, this was the only one that wanted Christmas music! I had been working with the mother of the bride primarily, and her goal was to incorporate her family’s Irish heritage into a traditional Polish-style wedding. There isn’t a better way to do that than with the music of […]
New Paris Wedding Harp Music | Maple Grove Church of the Brethren
December is usually a slower month for weddings, so I always enjoy having at least a couple to play in the midst of all the Christmas parties. This wedding took place in New Paris, in the heart of Northern Indiana’s Amish country. Yes, I saw several buggies on the way there & back! When I met with the […]
Notre Dame Wedding Reception Harpist
The Notre Dame campus is the site for hundreds of weddings each year. Usually, it’s a bustling place to be, but this wedding was on the weekend of Fall Break. Much easier to find parking and navigate the sidewalks with the harp! The Oak Room was the setting for the cocktail hour, and the dinner […]
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 […]
Minneapolis Wedding Harpist | Minnesota Landscape Arboretum
When I booked an outdoor wedding for October in Minneapolis, I was worried about the weather. There could have been snow, but we were all extremely lucky to have an 80-degree afternoon at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, MN. It was so bright out that the bride wore sunglasses throughout the ceremony! The ceremony took […]
