Southwest Michigan Wedding Music ~ Chapel at the Morris Estate

Every year, I play the harp for several weddings at the Morris Chapel.  It has gone through a few name changes (Morris Farms, Centre Meeting House), and now it is the Chapel at Morris Estates.  The new owners have great plans for the coming years – including air conditioning!  This is a popular location for Southwest Michigan weddings since it is a blank slate that you can decorate in any way you choose.

For this wedding ceremony, I played my BlevinSong lever harp.  It is a 36-string harp and has a simple, Celtic style and a natural maple finish.  During the prelude, the guests entered to a variety of popular love songs and classical pieces.  When the officiant signaled that the ceremony was ready to begin, I transitioned into the traditional “Canon in D” for the entrance of the bridal party, followed by Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus” – also known as “Here Comes the Bride“.

During the lighting of the unity candle, the bride and groom opted for something more contemporary – “Fields of Gold” by Sting.  You’d be surprised how well songs like that can be adapted for the harp!  When they ceremony concluded, the newlyweds and the bridal party exited to “King William’s March“.

Whether you are planning a simple & sweet or formal & luxurious wedding, the harp can fit in perfectly!  Visit my website:
