Wedding Harpist | Angola, Indiana
This wedding ceremony in Angola, Indiana, was held outside the VFW Hall. The bride chose mostly traditional music for the beginning her ceremony with Pachelbel’s “Canon in D” for the bridesmaids’ entrance and the traditional “Bridal Chorus” by Wagner for her processional. The final part of her ceremony was filled with more contemporary music selections. During […]
Harp & Cello Duet for a Northern Indiana Wedding
On another hot and muggy Saturday in July, I was joined by a fabulous cellist (Earle Perez) to play for a wedding on a farm in Rolling Prairie, Indiana. We always have so much fun working together, and the combination of harp and cello is both uncommon and uncommonly beautiful. After we unloaded, we parked […]
Michigan Wedding Harpist: Kalamazoo & Niles
On the last Saturday in June, I had two wedding ceremonies for which I played the harp. The first was an outdoor wedding in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the Kalamazoo Nature Center. For the prelude, the bride requested the traditional Welsh folk songs “By Kell’s Waters” and “Suogan,” along with “Sheep May Safely Graze” by Bach and “All […]

Wedding Music in Bremen, Indiana
My last wedding in June was at Agape Fellowship Church (also known as The Gathering Place) in Bremen, Indiana. It’s a beautiful and simple chapel in a small town just a few minutes south of South Bend. It was a little warm (no air conditioning), but everything turned out nicely! The colors were orange and […]
Munster, Indiana Wedding Music
I’ve had beautiful weather for my outdoor wedding ceremonies this year! A little hotter than last year, but not a single one has had to move inside. On June 25th, I played for a ceremony on the terrace at Centennial Park in Munster, Indiana. I was set up behind and a level higher than the guests, […]
Weddings in Mishawaka
It’s nice when my schedule works out to have two weddings directly across the street from one another on the same day! The first ceremony was at Albright United Methodist Church in Mishawaka. This is my beautiful Webster Laurel Leaf harp set up in the sanctuary: The only member of the bridal party was the […]
Castle in the Country & Mill Race Village Weddings
I can think of no better way to spend a Thursday evening than at a wedding! It’s even better if the ceremony is at the Castle in the Country Bed & Breakfast in Allegan, Michigan. It’s a peaceful setting, far away from crowds and busy roads. Ceremonies are held on a deck overlooking a lake. […]
Blue Dress Barn & Heston Hills Wedding Music
The Blue Dress Barn in Millburg, Michigan is a beautiful venue! You can have your ceremony outdoors, and then move inside the barn for the reception. I played for a wedding ceremony in the garden on June 12th, and the rain held off – but barely! The harp cover stayed within reach, just in case […]
Blue Heron at Blackthorn Wedding Ceremony
My first June wedding was at the Blue Heron at Blackthorn in South Bend, Indiana. Unfortunately, there are no pictures because the wind was so strong I couldn’t let go of the harp to take any! The colors were dark chocolate and red, and the ceremony was performed by Kerri Hoffman. Music selections included: Bridal […]
