Ceremony Harpist, The Haley Mansion, Joliet


The Haley Mansion is one of my absolute favorite venues, because it really delivers a comfortable and beautiful setting for guests and wedding party. We had perfect weather this day, as you can see, and it was an epic wedding. The coordinator was Malia of Wild Flower Weddings, and she was extremely capable and lovely to work with!


The bride chose "River Flows in You" for her wedding party, and "One Summer's Day" for her procession, and it was magic! Those links will take you directly to recordings on my YouTube channel that I made onsite that day 😊

Ceremony and Reception Harpist, Community House, Winnetka


This is a stunning location, but a very busy one! The tables and decor were still being set until very close to starting time, so I don't have a photo of the entire venue. Suffice to say that it is a lovely garden setting, almost entirely in the shade by a bit later in the afternoon, and the building is nearby with every amenity you might need. I was delighted to play some music for the Nikah ceremony, and then Bollywood and western music for the rest of the evening. I now have about 90 minutes of Bollywood music, some of which you can hear at my YouTube channel:

Ceremony Harpist, Wilder Mansion, Elmhurst


 The Wilder Mansion in Elmhurst is an absolutely breathtaking location. The gardens are incredible, and the tent lets everyone enjoy them in shaded comfort! The bride requested "Enchanted" and "You are In Love" for the processionals (both by Taylor Swift), and they worked out beautifully! We had Hannah of Enchanted Events running everything, so the whole event was smooth and relaxed. This venue is a real winner if you're looking for a garden setting!
