The bridal couple were both musicians, so it was really fun hearing their choices for the ceremony! The bride had a very specific Grace George version of "Heaven is a Place on Earth" (originally by Belinda Carlisle). In a first for me, the bride's dad was able to supply an arrangement of the music, as it was not available for purchase elsewhere. He did a great job! I adapted it for harp a bit, and we were all set. We also agreed I would do an arrangement of "You're My Best Friend" by Queen for the recessional. You can all feel free to thank this lovely bride for that, as it is turning out to be one of my most requested options!

It is always an honor to play for a family more than once, so I was delighted to get this call! The elder daughter had gotten married in February of 2020, just as the pandemic was getting ready to start, and now the younger daughter would wed just as the pandemic seemed to be winding down. Both of the sisters used "Can't Help Falling in Love" for their processional, and they were both beautiful brides! Room 1520 is a wonderful sounding venue for harp, and just around the corner from the harp factory, so a well known neighborhood for all harpists!
