Since the last time I had played there, Eagle Ridge Resort has extended their patio, so your ceremony has an even better view of Lake Galena! Galena is a quaint northwestern Illinois town, full of unique shops and restaurants. Eagle Ridge combines easy access to those amenities, along with a beautiful natural setting.
The weather was iffy, so I set up the harp under the adjacent tent. For this wedding, Ansley and Nick opted for a duet of harp and violin. It’s by far my most-requested ensemble! We play not only traditional classical wedding music, but renditions of popular songs, too.
We did a little bit of both for the prelude as guests arrived. For the family seating, they chose “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles. The wedding party processional was “Love Story” by Taylor Swift, and the bride came down the aisle to Elvis’ hit, “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”
For the recessional, they chose the Maggie Rogers song, “Love You for a Long Time.” I love expanding my repertoire to include couples’ special requests! For this piece, I created a custom harp and violin arrangement, adding a bespoke touch to the couple’s wedding day soundtrack.
