New Paris Wedding Harp Music | Maple Grove Church of the Brethren

December is usually a slower month for weddings, so I always enjoy having at least a couple to play in the midst of all the Christmas parties.  This wedding took place in New Paris, in the heart of Northern Indiana’s Amish country.  Yes, I saw several buggies on the way there & back! When I met with the […]

Notre Dame Wedding Reception Harpist

The Notre Dame campus is the site for hundreds of weddings each year.  Usually, it’s a bustling place to be, but this wedding was on the weekend of Fall Break.  Much easier to find parking and navigate the sidewalks with the harp! The Oak Room was the setting for the cocktail hour, and the dinner […]

Valparaiso Wedding Music ~ Valparaiso University Chapel of the Resurrection

Another beautiful fall day, and a beautiful setting for a wedding in the Valparaiso University Chapel.  I graduated from VU with my music degree in 2001 (and Master’s in 2005), and it is always such a pleasure to get back on campus! The maid of honor for this wedding was also a harpist, and recommended […]

Minneapolis Wedding Harpist | Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

When I booked an outdoor wedding for October in Minneapolis, I was worried about the weather.  There could have been snow, but we were all extremely lucky to have an 80-degree afternoon at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, MN.  It was so bright out that the bride wore sunglasses throughout the ceremony!   The ceremony took […]

Battle Creek Harpist ~ Kellogg House Wedding Ceremony Music

The bride for my last wedding in September contacted me when the harpist she had originally hired fell through.  With just a few weeks to go before their wedding, that harpist wasn’t returning phone calls or emails, so they went on a search for a replacement.  I’m always glad to help out for last-minute bookings if I’m available! […]

Hudson, Wisconsin Wedding Harpist

This ceremony was held at Prospect Park in Hudson, WI.  It was a beautiful venue, especially on a crisp fall afternoon. During the prelude, I played a mix of popular and classical selections, including: All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera Fields of Gold by Sting I See You My Beloved ~ a […]

Fort Wayne Harpist | Allen County Courthouse Wedding

On September 25th, I got to play for a wedding ceremony in the Allen County Courthouse in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  It was modeled after the Statehouse in Indianapolis, where I provided harp music for a wedding last March.  Great acoustics again! To create a backdrop for the ceremony, they had a fabric drape in the wedding […]

Willow Harbor Vineyard Wedding Music – Three Oaks, MI

One of the hardest things about being self-employed is that you don’t get sick days.  The day before this wedding, I came down with a terrible cold.  But no matter what, I was going to be there (even if I had to tuck tissues into the back of the harp)! I’ve played for weddings at […]

South Bend Wedding Harpist | Hilton Garden Inn

Notre Dame football home games usually mean a Saturday off for me, but the Friday and Sunday on either side are typically  booked.  On Sunday, September 5th, everyone was in good spirits after an Irish win!  It was also a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding in the courtyard of the Hilton Garden Inn / Gillespie […]

Wedding on Silver Beach | St. Joseph, Michigan

If ever the job of wedding harpist earned combat pay, this one deserved it!  After an unbelievably hot summer, the weather finally cooled off, and it looked like it would be comfortable to play outside for once.  The ceremony was set to take place on Silver Beach in St. Joseph, Michigan. The closer I got to […]
