Chicago Harpist | Wedding Reception Music
My second wedding on this October Saturday was for a large Polish wedding reception at Bobak’s Signature Events in Woodridge. The aunt of the bride is the manager there, and hired me to play for her niece’s reception after hearing me play for a wedding their venue last year. I was glad to be back, […]
Harpist in Cleveland {Wedding in Middleburg Heights}
It’s never too late to book a harpist for your wedding! Brenda contacted me one week before her wedding date, and although I had a reception booked that evening, I had the morning open! It was a last-minute addition the celebration, but her husband-to-be loves harp music, so it was something we made happen! They […]
Wedding at Pere Marquette ~ St. Louis Harp, Violin, & Cello Trio
This was supposed to be my final outdoor wedding of 2018, but temperatures in the low 50s moved the ceremony indoors. Much cozier by the fireplace at Pere Marquette! Close to St. Louis, it still feels a world away, and has beautiful views of the woods and the river. The bride and groom booked not […]
Indianapolis Harpist {Wedding at Union Station}
What a grand and elegant venue for a wedding! Stephanie and Rayton were married in the historic Union Station in downtown Indianapolis, conveniently attached to the Crowne Plaza hotel. Guests who stayed there could even have a room in a converted train car! The ceremony took place in the grand hall, and harp music greeted […]
Deep River County Park Wedding ~ Northwest Indiana Harpist
Even thunderstorms couldn’t stop Angie and Don from having their outdoor wedding! Fortunately, the gazebo at Deep River County Park provides enough shelter to keep the guests (and the harp!) dry. Watching the radar, I set up the harp inside the gazebo when I arrived, even though it hadn’t started raining yet. With an 85% […]
Harpist in Northern Indiana – Outdoor Wedding in Syracuse
The weather is finally fall-like, with wedding decor to match! Taylor and Cory were married in the pavilion at the Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation. The space was filled with gold fabrics, fall leaves, lanterns, and pumpkins. I played prelude harp music as guests arrived. Once the families were ready to be seated, I switched to […]
St. Louis Harpist ~ Wedding on a Farm
Weddings at home are always so personal, but certainly have their logistical challenges! Fortunately, the groom’s family farm provided both a lovely ceremony site, a place for the reception tent, and plenty of parking for guests! They made a wise choice hiring a wedding planner to make everything come together, and had the most beautiful […]
Wedding at Cantigny Park, Wheaton | Chicago Harpist
Ray and Emily were married in September at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, Illinois. This beautiful garden in the West Suburbs of Chicago features several unique ceremony areas, as well as a reception hall. They chose the iconic rose garden for their afternoon wedding. Prelude music included classical and popular pieces, such as “Somewhere Over the […]
Chandler Hill Vineyards Wedding {St. Louis Harpist}
It was a beautiful afternoon for Lara and Matt’s wedding, even if it felt more like summer than September! Their ceremony took place on the deck of Chandler Hill Vineyards in Defiance, Missouri, with the reception inside their banquet hall. Not too far from St. Louis, this is a beautiful countryside venue that is still […]
Central Illinois Harpist – Wedding at Piper Glen
Although the wedding was originally planned to be outdoor at Piper Glen Golf Club, a week of heavy rain, with more thunderstorms forecast for Saturday, moved the ceremony inside the tent where the reception was held. The ground was so soggy, the chairs couldn’t even be set up without sinking! Fortunately, the tent was beautiful […]
