Bloomington Wedding Music
At the end of May, I played for a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony on the grounds of the Deer Park Manor in Bloomington, Indiana. The weather was warm but the skies were clear – a perfect day! The bride selected “Arioso” by J.S. Bach for the processional of the families and bridal party. After making […]
Harp Music for a Catholic Wedding Mass
This wedding was unique in that I never actually spoke with the bride. She emailed me a couple of song choices, and put me in touch with the music director at her church. Between the two of us, we came up with a wonderful variety of music that was performed by a combination of harp, guitar, […]

Inn at Aberdeen Wedding Ceremony ~ Valpo Harpist
My first outdoor wedding of the year was at the beautiful Inn at Aberdeen Bed & Breakfast on April 17th. Since I attended Valparaiso University, it’s always enjoyable to get back to the area! It seems like every year for my first outdoor ceremony, I forget my music clips – I did it again. Very […]
Harpist for a Renaissance Wedding Ceremony
On April 10th, my new Laurel Leaf harp had its public debut. I’ve had this harp for a little over a year, and have been using it for teaching and practicing. Now it’s broken in and ready to perform! The wedding colors were black and gold, so it fit in perfectly. The ceremony was held […]

February Events
February was a busier month than usual, and started off with an exciting evening on Valentine’s Day. I spent the night playing harp duets at Strongbow Inn in Valparaiso, Indiana.

November Weddings ~ Indiana Harpist
November is not a very busy month for weddings – only three for me this year! On the 6th, I played for a beautiful ceremony at the First Christian Reformed Church in Demotte, Indiana. Her flowers were stunning, incorporating peacock feathers in a rich variety of fall colors: They used rose petals to line the […]
An Irish Wedding in September
I met with this couple way back in April – nothing like planning ahead! If you are having a fall wedding, it’s a great idea to get as much of your planning done before summer as possible. During the summer months many of your vendors will be extra busy, and may not have the flexibility […]
Wedding Ceremony at Ogden Gardens
Another perfect fall day! On September 19th, I played harp for a ceremony at Valparaiso’s Ogden Gardens. The bride chose a nice mix of traditional wedding music, as well as some lesser-known pieces to make her wedding music unique. The prelude music was: Long and Winding Road Embraceable You Someone to Watch Over Me Stairway […]
