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 […]

Springfield IL Wedding Planning ~ Piper Glen Bridal Expo

This was the first year that Piper Glen Golf Club hosted a bridal expo for Springfield area brides to meet with a select group of vendors to help them plan their weddings.  It was a small show, which meant that I had lots of time to really talk to the brides who attended and to meet […]

Ludington Michigan Harpist ~ Cornerstone Baptist Wedding

On a beautiful March day, I headed to the shores of Lake Michigan – for a wedding, of course!  The wedding ceremony was held at the Cornerstone Baptist Church in Ludington, MI.  During the summer, this is a busy lakeside town, but it is much more relaxed and peaceful when there is still some snow on the […]

Chicago Wedding Harpist ~ Lord of Life Lutheran Wedding Ceremony

It’s the middle of March, and wedding season started early this year.  Once it gets going, I stay busy until November!  Elizabeth and Kurt had a beautiful day, and I was so pleased to be a part of it. They had a traditional Lutheran ceremony at Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Darien, IL.  The pastor […]

Elkhart Wedding Harpist ~ Zion Lutheran, Bristol

For a February wedding, Kirsti & David had a beautiful afternoon with clear blue skies – and just enough snow on the ground to remind everyone that it was still winter!  Planning from California for an Indiana wedding was a bit of a challenge, but she had local friends assisting, and we were able to […]
