Ceremony and Reception Harpist, At Home in South Barrington

Set up to greet guests in the entryway.

This really was so much fun! I was initially hired because the beautiful bride had always wanted to enter to a specific Bollywood tune played on harp. Once we knew I was going to be on hand for the ceremony, we started to build the plans out from there! I started in the entryway, playing as guests arrived. Next, I moved closer to the outside deck for the bridal procession. Then I relocated a third time so that I could play in the entryway, but run my amp around the corner so as to effectively be in two rooms at the same time! My battery powered amp is a great tool for quite a few situations. You can go ahead and put me where you like, with no consideration for power availability, and my longer cord allows for some creativity for where the sound ends up!

If you would like to discuss plans for your specific event, we can always talk through the possibilities. I am available at (312) 860-4997.

Rehearsal Dinner Harpist, Incontro A Tavola, South Barrington

A lovely little private room at the back

The groom's parents live in California, so the intimate dinner they were planning had to be done remotely, which was no problem. My YouTube channel can take a lot of the guesswork out of hiring a musician no matter where you're working from. Additionally, since they would be coming to dinner after the rehearsal, there was a little bit of guesswork as to when they would be arriving. I always want my clients to feel that they are getting their moneys worth, so I was happy to arrange to be onsite and ready to go at the agreed time, but to wait to start the two hours of music until they arrived. Harp is always a great option for smaller parties where even a solo piano might overwhelm. It was a beautiful, relaxed evening at Incontro A Tavola, and I was so happy to be a part of it.
