Michigan Harpist ~ Willow Harbor Vineyard Wedding Ceremony Music

Willow Harbor Vineyards in Southwest Michigan is one of my favorite wedding venues.  I play for ceremonies there several times each summer, and I was back for Jenni & Kyle’s beautiful outdoor wedding in the Chardonnay Vineyard. The three bridesmaids entered to Pachelbel’s “Canon in D,” and the bride’s processional was Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus” (“Here Comes the Bride”).  […]

Upper Peninsula Wedding Music – Harpist in Houghton, Michigan

What a beautiful setting for a wedding!  The day was perfect and the rain held off so that the ceremony could go off without a hitch.  What makes this story more special is that the bride’s great grandmother got married on this same family farm many years ago. The farm is located in the Upper […]

Chicago Harpist ~ Wedding Ceremony at Grace Lutheran, River Forest

When I received the music list from Morgan, I knew this was going to be an amazing wedding!  Not only that, but instead of just having the harp as a solo instrument, she opted to create a trio of harp, flute & cello.  We also coordinated with the church’s organist for an even more majestic […]

Southwest Michigan Wedding Music – Fernwood Botanical Garden Harpist

Whether you have to have your wedding inside due to rain (which almost happened) or the weather breaks and you are able to have a beautiful garden wedding, the harp is a perfect fit for weddings at Fernwood Botanical Gardens! For Danielle and Will, the outdoor wedding was almost moved inside because of some rather […]

Northern Illinois Harpist ~ Wedding Music at Starved Rock State Park

When Marisa was looking for a musician for her ceremony, she wanted someone who was versatile enough to play the traditional pieces, but also have some more contemporary options available.  The harp is the perfect instrument if you want a mix of classical and popular music, and I have a wide repertoire of both! The […]

Southwest Michigan Wedding Music ~ Chapel at the Morris Estate

Every year, I play the harp for several weddings at the Morris Chapel.  It has gone through a few name changes (Morris Farms, Centre Meeting House), and now it is the Chapel at Morris Estates.  The new owners have great plans for the coming years – including air conditioning!  This is a popular location for […]

Grand Haven Harpist – Wedding Music on the Beach

Although I have had the chance to play several beach weddings in the past, this was the first time for Grand Haven City Beach.  When I arrived at the beach, the first thing that I noticed is how busy the beach was.  The planners who helped Kristen put together her beach wedding did an amazing job.  […]

Chicago Harpist ~ Holy Family Catholic Church Wedding Ceremony

Michael and Amanda were blessed with a beautiful (but hot!) Chicago day for their wedding ceremony.  The service took place at the magnificent Holy Family Catholic Church on Roosevelt road, near the University of Illinois Chicago campus.  One of the oldest church buildings in Chicago (that means it’s not air conditioned!), its size dwarfs even […]

Southern Illinois Wedding Music – Effingham Wedding Harpist

Joe and Christina had a gorgeous day for a wedding on Lake Sara near Effingham, Illinois!  The spot they picked was perfect with tons of shade for the guests and the bridal party with a nice breeze throughout the ceremony. Besides just being beautiful, the lake setting for this wedding had special meaning, as many […]

New Contemporary Harp Music Available for Your Wedding

Even in the middle of my busiest wedding season ever, I’m always learning new music to add to my repertoire!  Some of the pieces come from songs that the brides I work with request for their weddings, and others are pieces that I personally like and think will sound good on the harp.  The latest […]
