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, […]
Southwest Michigan Wedding Music | Fernwood Botanic Gardens Harpist
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! Fortunately, we were all blessed with perfect weather. While I was tuning, the groom and groomsmen wandered over, and had lots of questions to ask […]
Michigan City Harpist ~ Blue Chip Casino Wedding Ceremony
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. Both the ceremony and reception were held at the Blue Chip Casino. Yes, you can have a traditional wedding there without blackjack tables or slot machines in the […]
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 […]
