Kenedy and Maxwell came to Hot Springs from Austin, Texas, to get married at the iconic Anthony Chapel at Garvan Woodland Gardens. A venue as beautiful as this is worth the trip! Situated in central Arkansas, Hot Springs is home not only to a National Park, but also to historic bath houses, wonderful restaurants, and a thriving arts scene.
The prelude music for the arrival of guests included the couple’s requests of “Come Sail Away” by Styx, “Nothing Else Matters” by Metallica, “Winter” from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, and Pachelbel’s “Canon in D.”
They did not have a wedding party, and the bride walked down the aisle to “Memory” from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats. She wanted this to be a surprise for the groom, so I made sure I didn’t run through it in the chapel that day!
“Clocks” by Coldplay was the recessional for the newly married couple, and then I continued with other upbeat popular songs for the postlude.
There is something magical about harp music in a space as majestic as the Anthony Chapel. If you are getting married there (or anywhere in Hot Springs or Central Arkansas), please contact me via my website – Hot Springs Arkansas Harpist – to receive a quote and start planning your wedding day soundtrack!
