Wedding Ceremony Harpist, At Home in Ingleside

A view of my perch and a little bit of the aisle!

Weddings at home are really fabulous.  You get a wonderful idea of who the bride and groom are, and everyone is so relaxed!  Yes, it did take me a minute to visualize where Ingleside was (head for Fox Lake, and turn right just before you get there), but it was all easy after that!

The bride and groom wanted to involve their grand children in the ceremony, and the bride wondered what song would work for the little 3 year old flower girl.  So easy!  "Let it Go" from "Frozen"!  I learned this from a bride a couple of summers ago, and it worked like a charm again!  No timid little march down the aisle; the petals got happily distributed, and the flower girl actually enjoyed her special moment. Then it was time for the bride's procession, and she was escorted by her adorable little grandson who looked to be about 5 or 6 years old!  It was truly one of the sweetest things I've ever seen, and I see plenty of good stuff!

The ceremony went off beautifully, and I stayed to play some cocktail music afterwards.  The best part was that when I was loading out, the groom came over to make sure I didn't need any help (I didn't), and we had a little chat.  You know what he wanted to talk about?  How much he loves his new wife!

If you want to hold your own cozy wedding in your natural surroundings, call me.  Harp music can add just the right touch!
