Vow Renewal Harpist, Lincolnshire Marriott, Lincolnshire

Just a beautiful setting!

The lovely woman who was planning this had done without the music she wanted at her original ceremony, and she was not going to go without this time! Originally scheduled for Spring 2020, she was absolutely a delight through all of the uncertainty and rescheduling, and I felt so lucky to be able to play for her! The Lincolnshire Marriott helped by providing a beautiful room that was larger than what would've been needed in pre pandemic times. Everyone was distanced and safe, and ready to celebrate the couple's happy union! Besides picking out "Air" from Water Music to process to, the bride also requested a special song for her young grandson (You've Got a Friend in Me), to make him feel included in all of the plans. Once the reception started, I played a variety of classical music and love songs, including "Color My World," which was the couple's special song back in the day. 

You can check my repertoire list for your special song, but I also learn special request music! www.ChicagoWeddingHarpist.com

Vow Renewal Harpist, Emmanuel Baptist Church, Chicago

The sanctuary at Emmanuel Baptist. My harp is there in the center!

Vow renewals are such a riot! First of all, pressure off, I mean right? You're already married, and it's working enough that you are celebrating, so you're good. You can wear any wonderful thing you want, and who's going to complain? Also, you are probably old enough that you don't need to worry about inviting people your parents say you have to! The list of good things just goes on and on! The wonderful woman who hired me wanted some relaxing music for her guests, and a smooth transition into her processional, a recorded version of "When God Made You." Done and done. I also played the hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness" and actually got to do a little impromptu accompaniment for the wonderful organist who also sang! See? Fun!!

Afterwards, I played some dinner music in the church hall, which was really done up, and just made me happy to look at it!

The harp was in that far back corner. Unfortunately, without pink adornment,
 but you can't have everything!
