Grand Rapids Harpist ~ Wedding Reception at the Amway Grand Plaza
11-11-11 was a very popular wedding date! Not quite as busy at 7-7-07, but close. Originally, Dan & Tonya planned to have both their ceremony and reception on that Friday, but instead they went ahead with their ceremony on the other prime date this year ~ 9-10-11 ~ in Las Vegas! They kept their plans […]
Harpist in St. Joseph, Michigan ~ Wedding at the Heritage Museum
November is typically a slow month for weddings, but 2011 has proven to be the exception. I also have several Friday ceremonies and receptions – Friday is the new Saturday! When you plan your wedding for a less popular month or day of the week, you will not only receive discounts from some of your wedding […]
Valparaiso Harpist ~ Wedding Music at the Valparaiso Country Club
Debra was planning her Indiana wedding from Texas, so we made all of the plans for her wedding music by email. With lots of sound clips on my website, it makes it easy to plan long-distance! She originally booked just solo harp, but added a violinist as we got closer to her date. The ceremony […]
Iowa City Harpist ~ Wedding at Old Brick & Congregational UCC
I had such a wonderful time planning and playing for Courtney and Raven’s wedding! Their ceremony was held at the Congregational United Church of Christ, followed by the reception just a short walk away at Old Brick.

Joe and Christina had a gorgeous day for a wedding on Lake Sara near Effingham, Illinois!

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 […]
Springfield IL Wedding Music | Villa Maria & State House Inn Wedding
Out at Villa Maria on Lake Springfield, the cicadas were thick! The outdoor wedding ceremony went ahead as planned anyway, and the guests just kept brushing them off. The maid of honor had to keep a close watch on the bride’s veil – the giant bugs seemed to like it! When I arrived (extra early, as […]
Fort Wayne Harpist | Allen County Courthouse Wedding & Reception
The Allen County Courthouse in Fort Wayne is an amazing venue for your wedding ceremony and reception. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera with me to my May 14th wedding, so if you want to see pictures of the inside, you’ll have to check out my blog post from a wedding I played there […]
Chicago Wedding Music ~ Itasca Country Club Wedding Harpist
Sarah and James planned for an outdoor wedding ceremony, but the rain that threatened throughout the day pushed the ceremony inside. Both the ceremony and reception took place at the Itasca Country Club in Itasca, Illinois. Fortunately, they have a beautiful room overlooking the golf course that they had set up for the ceremony. It’s […]
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 […]
