Ohio Wedding Harpist ~ Adena Mansion & Gardens, Chillicothe, OH
What a beautiful day for a wedding. I was thrilled to be invited to play for the ceremony at the Adena Mansion & Gardens in Chillicothe, Ohio! Being fond of animals, I especially liked that there were several four-legged “guests.” Upon arrival at the Adena Mansion I was greeted by donkeys, a white-tailed deer, and […]
South Bend Wedding Music ~ St. Mary’s College Harpist
I had been looking forward to this wedding ever since Caitlin told me that she had a vintage English garden theme (her fiancé and his family had spent several years in England), and was encouraging all of her guests to wear hats and fascinators. I was glad to have the opportunity to break out my […]
Southwest Michigan Harpist ~ St. Joseph Wedding Ceremony
On a Sunday afternoon in May, I provided harp music for a wedding at the John E.N. Howard Bandshell in Lake Bluff Park. This wedding and concert venue is just a short distance away from St. Joseph’s Silver Beach, where I had an exceptionally windy wedding ceremony last fall! The bride & groom had a back-up plan […]
St. Louis Harpist | Forest Park Jewel Box Wedding
The Jewel Box in St. Louis’ Forest Park is the perfect place to have the feel of an outdoor wedding, without the worries about the weather! The greenhouse was filled with hydrangeas, and was a lovely setting for the wedding of Dara and Kevin. The prelude as guests arrived was performed entirely by African drummers […]
Fort Wayne Harpist | Allen County Courthouse Wedding & Reception
The Allen County Courthouse in Fort Wayne is an amazing venue for your wedding ceremony and reception. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera with me to my May 14th wedding, so if you want to see pictures of the inside, you’ll have to check out my blog post from a wedding I played there […]
Southwest Michigan Wedding Music – Centre Meeting House Wedding Harpist
Over the course of our time playing harp professionally in Southwest Michigan, I have had the chance to play at the Centre Meeting House (formerly Morris Farms) several times. My most recent wedding there was on May 14th and I was amazed as to how Michaelangelo’s had transformed the chapel for this wedding ceremony. The […]
Chicago Wedding Music ~ Itasca Country Club Wedding Harpist
Sarah and James planned for an outdoor wedding ceremony, but the rain that threatened throughout the day pushed the ceremony inside. Both the ceremony and reception took place at the Itasca Country Club in Itasca, Illinois. Fortunately, they have a beautiful room overlooking the golf course that they had set up for the ceremony. It’s […]
Music from the Royal Wedding
Yes, I got up at 4:00 am to watch Prince William and Kate get married! I had seen the ceremony program a couple of days before, and was especially excited to hear the music they had selected. They stayed away from the most traditional wedding pieces, but kept the music classical or sacred, and appropriate for […]
Northwest Indiana Harpist ~ Merrillville Vow Renewal Ceremony
Since I play so many weddings, vow renewal ceremonies are a special treat. This one was for a couple who has been married for thirty years, and chose to renew their vows in front of a large group of family and friends at the Indiana Operating Engineers Hall in Merrillville, Indiana. Most vow renewal ceremonies […]
Champaign Illinois Harpist ~ Wedding Music
April 16th was to have been my first outdoor wedding ceremony of the year, but strong winds, dropping temperatures and rain forced the event inside. When you are planning an outdoor wedding, you have to be flexible – and have a solid back-up plan! The Plan B for this wedding was an indoor location at […]
