Blue Dress Barn & Heston Hills Wedding Music
The Blue Dress Barn in Millburg, Michigan is a beautiful venue! You can have your ceremony outdoors, and then move inside the barn for the reception. I played for a wedding ceremony in the garden on June 12th, and the rain held off – but barely! The harp cover stayed within reach, just in case […]
Blue Heron at Blackthorn Wedding Ceremony
My first June wedding was at the Blue Heron at Blackthorn in South Bend, Indiana. Unfortunately, there are no pictures because the wind was so strong I couldn’t let go of the harp to take any!

Bloomington Wedding Music
At the end of May, I played for a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony on the grounds of the Deer Park Manor in Bloomington, Indiana. The weather was warm but the skies were clear – a perfect day!

Harp Music for a Catholic Wedding Mass
This wedding was unique in that I never actually spoke with the bride. She emailed me a couple of song choices, and put me in touch with the music director at her church. Between the two of us, we came up with a wonderful variety of music that was performed by a combination of harp, guitar, […]

Harpist for a Renaissance Wedding Ceremony
On April 10th, my new Laurel Leaf harp had its public debut. I’ve had this harp for a little over a year, and have been using it for teaching and practicing. Now it’s broken in and ready to perform! The wedding colors were black and gold, so it fit in perfectly. The ceremony was held […]

On March 13th, I had the pleasure of playing for a wedding in the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis. It has amazing acoustics, and is a dramatic background for your wedding ceremony.

February Events
February was a busier month than usual, and started off with an exciting evening on Valentine’s Day. I spent the night playing harp duets at Strongbow Inn in Valparaiso, Indiana.
