Harp music is not just for wedding ceremonies ~ you can bring the elegance and romance of the instrument into your reception as well! Elizabeth and Brano celebrated their wedding at Tippecanoe Place in South Bend, Indiana. The former Studebaker mansion, it has been converted into a fine dining restaurant that also hosts weddings and banquets.
As guests entered the lobby, they were greeted by harp music. Elizabeth requested that I play a variety of music, encompassing the classical, popular, jazz, and Celtic genres. Servers passed margaritas and appetizers, and the guests were able to tour the mansion at their leisure. The wedding party was introduced as they descended the grand staircase into the lobby. During toasts & speeches, the groom especially thanked members of his family who had come all the way from Croatia to be there for the wedding. I continued playing through dinner service in the dining rooms on the main level.
One of my favorite moments of the night was being approached by a bride whose wedding I played for a couple of years ago ~ just upstairs in the 3rd floor ballroom! It was wonderful to hear my bride’s fond remembrances of her wedding music, and I am so grateful to have been such an important part of the weddings of so many wonderful couples.
