Harp and Violin Wedding Duet in Northern Indiana
Although most of my weddings choose solo harp, there are a handful each year that opt for a larger ensemble. The harp and violin duet is certainly the most popular, and for good reason! With the harp taking the harmony, the violin can create soaring, sustained melodies alongside the harp’s tonal texture. It’s a beautiful […]
Indianapolis Harpist {Wedding at Finley Creek}
This was scheduled to be my first outdoor wedding of the year, held at Finley Creek Vineyards in Zionsville. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans! As the harp is made of wood, it cannot get wet. Even though the couple opted to go ahead with the outdoor ceremony under umbrellas, the harp couldn’t go outside. […]
Harpist in Southwest Michigan {Journeyman Distillery Wedding}
Andrea and Charlie celebrated their marriage with an intimate wedding ceremony in the Still Room at Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks, Michigan. Southwest Michigan is full of lovely venues, and the exposed brickwork, large windows, cafe lighting, and oak barrels added to the ambiance at this one! As guests arrived, the prelude music included “Lovesong” […]

Harry Potter Wedding Music – Harpist in Central Illinois
I love when couples choose wedding music that has special meaning to them! Anne and Jason asked for me to play all of the music I knew from the Harry Potter movies for their cocktail hour at the Wyndham City Centre in downtown Springfield, Illinois. It went along perfectly with their “lightly” Harry Potter-themed wedding […]
New Year’s Eve Wedding Music ~ Northern Illinois Harpist

This was my last wedding before Christmas. I always admire the couples who can manage to plan a wedding in the midst of the holiday rush!

Christmas Wedding at Pere Marquette
I’m loving all the Christmas weddings this year! Marilyn and Greg were married in front of the fireplace at Pere Marquette State Park Lodge in Grafton, Illinois. The harp looked beautiful with the giant Christmas tree! The prelude included “Edelweiss” from The Sound of Music and “All I Ask of You” from Phantom of the […]
Waupaca Harpist ~ Wedding at Par 4 Resort
Finally some snow for this December wedding! Both the ceremony and reception were held at Par 4 Resort in Waupaca, Wisconsin. For the ceremony, I played “Canon in D” for the wedding party processional, and “Trumpet Voluntary” for the bride’s entrance. The recessional was Mendelssohn’s traditional “Wedding March.” I also played for the cocktail hour, […]
St. Louis Harpist ~ Harp & Singer for a Wedding Ceremony
What a beautiful venue! Mike and Ginger had 60-degree temperatures for their December ceremony. Inside, however, the refurbished church was lit with soft blue lights, draped in white, and looked like a winter wonderland. The Christmas trees on the stage completed the look! The Main Street Abbey in Columbia, Illinois, was the setting for both […]
