No matter how well you prepare for your wedding, the weather is always unpredictable!

South Bend Wedding Music ~ Hilton Garden Inn Ceremony
Outdoor weddings can always be a bit unpredictable, especially when it comes to dealing with the weather.

South Bend Wedding Music ~ Harpist for Wedding Ceremonies
Jami planned her wedding music well in advance – she booked in the summer of 2009! It was a good thing for her that she did, since June 11th has been one of my most requested dates this year. I turned down more than twenty weddings for that Saturday! Even if the planning timelines and […]

Springfield IL Wedding Music | Villa Maria & State House Inn Wedding
Out at Villa Maria on Lake Springfield, the cicadas were thick! The outdoor wedding ceremony went ahead as planned anyway, and the guests just kept brushing them off.

Chicago Harpist | Joliet Wedding Music at Pilcher Park
Deanna planned a beautiful ceremony at the gazebo in Joliet’s Pilcher Park for Saturday, June 4th. The rain held off, but it was hot! Fortunately, the gazebo provided shade for the harp and harpist. Guests waited under the trees until the ceremony was ready to begin, so they didn’t have to sit in the sun, […]

It was a busy Friday afternoon at the Fernwood Botanic Garden. When I arrived to set up, there was a wedding rehearsal concluding, and two more scheduled for later that evening!

I first met Debbie at a Bridal Expo last October in Merrillville, Indiana, and was excited to play for her Memorial Day weekend ceremony in Michigan City.
