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.

Wedding Ceremony Harpist, Barker Mansion, Michigan City, Indiana

The area for the wedding party is very distinctive!

It's always so much fun to see a new venue! The Barker Mansion is only about an hour from downtown Chicago, but it is not a site that I hear people talking about very often around here. The set up was really appealing - a courtyard with a brick and trellis area for the wedding party, and a lovely path from the main house. The courtyard was quiet, and there was convenient access to the mansion, also. If you have guests who need handicap access, there is an entrance directly to the garden, and a ramp. Everything needed for a magical ceremony!

The path has a little jog for the fountain, but that was 
kind of lovely in practice.

Michigan City, Indiana Wedding Ceremony Harpist

Set up at New Creation Vineyard Christian Fellowship

The lovely bride felt a little stressed when she called, because she was planning a wedding at a remote location.  With family and friends spread over the midwest, she and her groom decided to pick a central location, find a church willing to host them, and make travel more equitable for all of those attending.  I travel to Northwest Indiana for a small additional fee, so it was no problem for me.  

As we began planning her music she confided that she had "no idea" what she wanted and felt like she might be unable to make appropriate choices.  A surprising number of brides actually feel that way!  My advice is always the same:  set aside a half an hour and listen to some of the selections on my website.  Keep track of the things you like and the things you don't.  Then, if it is still confusing, we can talk and usually work things out rather easily.  I will make some suggestions based on what you tell me, and things go fairly smoothly.  Or, you will be like this bride who, after listening to the short selections on my site, actually knew exactly what she wanted!  Music shouldn't be scary.  All it needs to do is support the mood that you are hoping for on your wedding day.  I promise not to make it harder than that!!
