Wedding Ceremony Harpist, St. Christina, Chicago

The altar area at St. Christina is just stunning!

St. Christina's is a lovely parish close to my South Side home.  I was contacted directly by the bride's mother, as she wanted to add harp and flute to the standard piano accompaniment.  I frequently make recommendations for other instrumentalists, so it was no problem at all. Musical arrangements at Catholic churches can be just a little tricky, as there is generally a set music staff, and they need to be consulted.  I can help with this, and earlier is always better.  St. Christina's music staff is wonderful, and I have played there several times over the years, so it is especially easy.  A few emails back and forth, and we were organized for the big day.  The family chose "The Prayer" made famous by Celine Dion and "Perhaps Love" by John Denver to round out some of the more traditional wedding choices and mass parts.  It was a beautiful ceremony, and a true collaboration.
