Zanesville Wedding Harpist ~ Christmas Wedding
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! This ceremony took place on December 22nd at Northside Church of the Nazarene in Zanesville, Ohio. With a Christmas wedding, they chose all Christmas music! The bride was preceded […]
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 […]
Memphis Harpist & Violinist {Wedding at Hunt Phelan}
Another Thanksgiving weekend wedding! This time a harp and violin duet at the beautiful Hunt Phelan Mansion in Memphis, Tennessee. Guests arrived through the front doors of the mansion, to the sounds of solo violin. As they made their way to the heated courtyard tent where the ceremony was taking place, they were greeted with […]
Central Illinois Wedding Music ~ Ceremony at Hamilton’s 110 North East
Andrea and Phillip were married on Black Friday at Hamilton’s 110 Northeast. A much better way to spend the day than with the crowds out shopping! Their ceremony was in the Fireside Room, followed by the reception in the South Ballroom. As guests arrived, I played a selection of Beatles and other popular songs of […]
Champaign-Urbana Wedding Music ~ Pear Tree Estate
Pear Tree Estate is a beautiful venue just outside of Champaign, Illinois. With large windows, you can be in the comfort of the indoors, but still see the glow of the fall colors everywhere you look! Small world – the bride’s father used to have the mail route that included my parents’ house in Jacksonville! […]
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 […]
