Catholic Wedding Music: Prairie du Chien Harpist
For Rachael and Brogan’s Wedding Mass, I partnered with a fabulous vocalist to cantor during the service. The harp provided accompaniment for all of the sung parts of the Mass, and having a professional singer lead the congregation helps your guests to participate in the liturgy more fully. During the service itself, Catholic churches require […]
Chattanooga Wedding Harpist – Tennessee RiverPlace Ceremony
It was an overcast fall day for Leslie and Justin’s wedding, but fortunately we were able to go ahead with the outdoor riverside ceremony as planned! I had my carbon fibre harp tucked away nearby just in case rain started to fall and the pedal harp needed to be covered to protect it. With the […]
Wedding Musician in Fort Wayne
The rainy weekend sent another wedding to their indoor back-up location. As much as every couple planning an outdoor ceremony hopes it works out, the weather is unpredictable and you’ll feel better having an option ready for relocation. For Audra and Scott, they planned to marry on the Wells Street Bridge in downtown Fort Wayne, […]
Wedding at Funks Grove: Central Illinois Harpist
I have played for several weddings at Funks Grove, many of which have taken place outdoors in the Chapel of the Templed Trees. A rainy Friday the 13th moved this ceremony indoors, and the historic chapel on the grounds was a beautiful and cozy back-up! Katelyn and Chris didn’t want traditional music for their ceremony. […]
Eureka Springs Harpist – Wedding at Thorncrown Chapel
Thorncrown Chapel outside of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is both a landmark and an outstanding wedding venue! Julie and Cody were married on an early fall day, surrounded by the beauty of the Ozarks. With the glass walls and ceiling, the changing leaves provided the backdrop for their vows. Their guests arrived at the chapel and […]

On a beautiful fall day, their guests gathered on the lawn of the museum, and the ceremony took place on the porch. For the prelude during guest arrival, I played a selection of light recognizable classics and contemporary […]
Dubuque Harpist – Wedding Music at Steeple Square
What a magnificent space! Dubuque is fortunate to have a dedicated group of people preserving the historic St. Mary’s Church as Steeple Square, and making it available to the community for weddings and events. Valeria and Tyson held their ceremony and reception in the church’s former sanctuary. With its beautiful architecture and harp music […]
Wedding Music in Southwest Michigan
Southwest Michigan is full of beautiful venues, from wineries to grand banquet halls to the beaches of Lake Michigan. One I’ve returned to many times over the years is the Morris Estate. I’ve even played here before the much-appreciated addition of air conditioning! The chapel has maintained its simple charm, and is a lovely place […]
Upper Peninsula Wedding Music – Marquette Harpist
Jama and Brittany were married just before sunset just outside Marquette at the Little Presque Isle State Park. They love the north woods and wanted to include the beauty of Lake Superior and forest in their ceremony. The daytime crowds had gone from the park, and an intimate group of friends and family gathered under […]

Autumn and Nathan gathered with friends and family to celebrate their wedding at Schwarz Barn in rural Highland, Illinois. This venue is an easy drive from St. Louis, and features a rustic barn and a lakeside ceremony setting. With rain off and on all day, they originally planned to move the ceremony indoors to the […]
