Grand Rapids Harp & Violin Duet – Wedding at Fallasburg Park

Grand Rapids Harp & Violin Duet

This was to be my last outdoor wedding of 2025, but the weather had other ideas!  When planning an outdoor wedding, you need to have an indoor back-up location that you love just as much as your original site, so relocating isn’t such a difficult decision if it comes to that.  Fortunately, Fallasburg Park has […]

Library Harp Concert in Muskegon

This concert was originally scheduled for December, but when we got hit with a blizzard, we moved it to January!  Patrons gathered at the Norton Shores Branch of the Muskegon Area District Library for an evening of harp music and light snacks. I divided the program into three sections – classical, folk music, and popular […]

Wedding Music in Grand Rapids – Frederik Meijer Garden Ceremony

Music for a Wedding in Grand Rapids

  Enrique and Erich planned for an outdoor ceremony on the Padnos Rooftop Garden at the Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, but the rain started falling shortly before the ceremony was to begin. I had already started the prelude music, so quickly moved the harp to a small overhang where I could keep it […]

Grand Rapids Harp Music ~ JW Marriott Corporate Event

Harpist Grand Rapids MI

Originally scheduled for January, COVID forced a reschedule for this event! Fortunately, I was available for their new date in April, and was able to play for their corporate celebration then.     I set up in the International Lobby of the JW Marriott in downtown Grand Rapids. The event was taking place in the […]

Grand Rapids Wedding Music ~ Reception at Gallery Divani

Stefanie booked me to play for her sister’s wedding ceremony and reception, but 2020 changed all the plans!  Amanda and Allison ended up getting married earlier, then had the reception in October 2021 at Gallery Divani in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.   I set up in the entrance of the event space, where cocktail hour […]

Grand Rapids Harpist at The Amway Grand Plaza

Of course I did not know it at the time, but this would be my last event before the coronavirus pandemic shut down all events, performances, and gatherings.  It was for a small group of people celebrating the life of a friend who had passed away in January. Harp music welcomed the guests into the […]

Harpist in Grand Rapids ~ Downtown Market Greenhouse Wedding

I absolutely love greenhouse weddings.  You get the feel of being outside, but without the worries about the weather!  They are a year-round option for weddings, as well.  This ceremony was in the Downtown Market Greenhouse in Grand Rapids – very convenient to grab some great Thai food for lunch before the ceremony! The flowers […]

Harpist in Grand Rapids

I played for this same group earlier this year in May, and was delighted to be asked back!  I performed background music during the dinner break for their event at the GFS Headquarters in Wyoming, Michigan. The music they chose included traditional hymns, as well as some popular songs. If you are looking for a […]

Grand Rapids Wedding Music {The Cheney Place}

I love it when couples think outside of the box for their wedding music!  Dan and Rebekah did just that, featuring music during their ceremony that was meaningful to them.  It was difficult, however, for them to narrow down their list – I have a huge repertoire!  Their wedding was held at The Cheney Place […]

Kalamazoo Harpist – Ceremony at Sherman Lakes YMCA

The last time I played for a wedding at Sherman Lakes was eleven years ago!  I was glad to be back, playing for this lovely outdoor wedding ceremony.  The bride’s mother managed to keep the fact that there would be a harpist for the wedding a secret from everyone except the bride and groom! The […]
