Starved Rock Wedding Ceremony and Reception Harpist



This was the beautiful setting for my first ever wedding at Starved Rock State Park.  This site is really wonderful.  The river is just beyond, and the entire site is shaded!  Additionally, the parking lot is close enough for an easy load in, but the patio area is far enough back that we did not have random people passing through.  The wedding itself was so lovely, and the bride chose "Let it Go" from "Frozen" for her tiny flower girls to process in to.  The girls were so thrilled, and accomplished all of their flower girl duties admirably!


I thought this was a fabulous idea for securing wedding paraphernalia in a potentially windy situation. Plus, so cute!!


Then we were off to the Lodge for dinner.  The DJ played for the cocktail hour while I moved the harp.  I played for dinner and, after the couple had visited all of the tables, I heard from the lovely bride.  She told me that many of the guests over the age of 40 had expressed their satisfaction with the music, as the harp music allowed them to eat and visit without having to shout to be heard  It was a successful day all around!
