Ceremony Harpist, St George Greek Orthodox Church, Chicago




The last wedding of the 2024 season was so much fun! Now in general, I wouldn't be allowed to provide music for the wedding in a Greek Orthodox Church, but apparently, it is okay if I sit just outside the door, and play towards the church!! I was absolutely delighted to do so, and there were a number of really lovely things that happened at this wedding. First of all, the beautiful bride was pulling up as I was unloading, so I got all of my last minute instructions from the sweetest, most reliable person ever! Then I find out that the "flower bros" are full grown men, who have worked up a whole routine to "You're My Best Friend" by Queen. I was there so early that we even got to do a little rehearsal! Finally, positioned as I was, I was close enough to see the bride's face as she crossed the threshold of the church, and headed up to marry the love of her life. <sigh> Perfection!!

Ceremony Harpist, Private Home, Michigan City, Indiana




 


This was my final outdoor wedding of the 2024 season, and it was a stunner! The client's home was situated on a private lake, so of course we had the ceremony where that incredible view could be enjoyed! I have a large repertoire, and it is always rewarding when couples find things there that they might not have asked for otherwise. In this case, it was the Metallica song "Nothing Else Matters", and it went over big with the folks in attendance that day - such a pleasure!!


You'll find repertoire lists on my website, near the bottom of the page on drop down menus.
