Lucky 7’s ~ Weddings on 7-7-07
7-7-07 Everyone in the wedding industry knew what a big day this one would be. It was no exception for me – my busiest wedding day ever! It actually started the night before with a Friday evening wedding in Fort Wayne, Indiana. A lovely setting at the Lakeside Rose Garden, and although it was REALLY […]
Spring Weddings
I’ve been fortunate so far this summer – nearly all of my weddings have been outdoor, and not a single rain-out! It’s been a great start to the “season.” A few pictures: The beautiful flowers at my wedding on June 15th were done by the Flower Cart in Chesterton, Indiana. Although it was definitely on […]
Another Snowy Wedding in Southwest Michigan
After last night’s weather, I got a little worried about even making it to today’s wedding! They had closed down part of the road I needed to get to the church because of snow and high winds, but fortunately it was open by this morning, and I had no problems. This ceremony was held at […]
Chicago Harpist ~ Wedding in a Blizzard
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of playing for a beautiful ceremony at Riverside Receptions in Geneva, Illinois. The ceremony was held overlooking the partially frozen river. The bride wanted snow, and she certainly got it! The ceremony began at 5:00 PM, right when the flakes started coming down. I can’t wait to see […]
October Weddings & Pictures
I’ve been very bad at getting things posted this past month, so this will be a long one! My most recent wedding was at Sergeant Means Park in Olympia Fields, IL. The room has GREAT acoustics, and the bride selected some very unique music for her ceremony. We started with “Moon River,” and the bride’s […]
Wedding at Meyer’s Castle ~ Harpist in Northwest Indiana
Last weekend was another two-wedding Saturday. Follow that up with a former classmate’s homecoming recital, and you have a busy day! My first wedding was a harp & violin duet gig with my friend Amanda. Welcome Home wedding planners were coordinating the ceremony, and they always do a super job of making sure everything runs smoothly. […]
Wedding Reception (Harp & Violin)
For a September weekend, this one was rather light! The only wedding I had was a one-hour reception on Saturday night. It was a harp and violin duet, and it went extremely well! The bride was a violinist herself, and she picked some unique and beautiful music for her cocktail hour, including: Air from “Water […]
A Three-Wedding Weekend
What a weekend! Three wedding ceremonies & several students crammed into just a couple of days. What can I say – I love to stay busy! On Friday, I played for a wedding in a small country church. The late mother of the groom was a harpist, so the bride’s family hired me in her […]
Frankenmuth Wedding Harpist & Violinist
This wedding was especially fun because I got to share it with a great friend of mine from college. She works in Ann Arbor, so it worked out perfectly for her to play violin for the ceremony. We had a wonderful time catching up on all the news of other friends from our days together […]
Michigan City Wedding Harpist
This afternoon I had the pleasure of playing for another beautiful wedding at the International Friendship Gardens in Michigan City, Indiana. The thunderstorms held off – just a few raindrops, and everyone (including the harp) stayed dry underneath the canopy over the ceremony gardens. Today’s music included: Aria from “Rinaldo” by G. F. Handel Ave […]
