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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Harp & Cello Duet for a Northern Indiana Wedding
On another hot and muggy Saturday in July, I was joined by a fabulous cellist (Earle Perez) to play for a wedding on a farm in Rolling Prairie, Indiana. We always have so much fun working together, and the combination of harp and cello is both uncommon and uncommonly beautiful. After we unloaded, we parked […]
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 […]
A Double-Reception Saturday
On May 8th, I was excited to play for two wedding receptions. One was an afternoon event in South Bend, Indiana, and the other was an evening party in Brookfield, Illinois. For the first reception, which was held at the South Bend Country Club, the bride and groom chose a mix of classical and popular […]
Wedding Reception at Addison Oaks
On Sunday, September 6th, I played for a wedding reception at Addison Oaks in Leonard, Michigan (north of Detroit). The room was decorated with hot pink flowers & napkins and black chair sashes. I played a mix of music for Michelle & Matthew, including their one special request, “Collide” by Howie Day. It sounds beautiful on […]
September Ceremony & Reception: St. Adalbert’s and Greek Orthodox Hall
The first Saturday in September I actually got to stay close to home! The ceremony took place at St. Adalbert’s Catholic Church in South Bend, Indiana, and the reception followed at St. Andrew Greek Orthodox Church Hall, also in South Bend. The sanctuary of this church is stunningly beautiful. My big surprise of the day […]
