Traverse City Harpist ~ Wedding at the West Bay Beach Resort

LeRae and Nick were blessed with a beautiful wedding day in Traverse City.  Windy, but beautiful!  Their ceremony took place on the edge of the Grand Traverse Bay, at the West Bay Beach Resort in downtown Traverse City.

Chicago Harpist – Harp Duet for a Wedding Reception

One harp at a wedding is beautiful, but two harps at a wedding are spectacular!  There is definitely a visual and auditory “wow” factor with the harp, and even more so when there is more than one!

The ceremony took place on the grounds of the resort. […]
