Battle Creek Harpist ~ Kellogg House Wedding Ceremony Music

The bride for our last wedding in September contacted me when the harpist she had originally hired fell through.  With just a few weeks to go before their wedding, that harpist wasn't returning phone calls or emails, so they went on a search for a replacement.  We're always glad to help out for last-minute bookings if we're available! 

They had beautiful weather for a late-September outdoor wedding.  The ceremony was held on the lawn of the Kellogg House in Battle Creek, MI, with the reception just a few blocks away at the McCamly Plaza Hotel. 

The bride and groom are Beatles fans, so that took care of all of the prelude and postlude music!  I included some of their special favorites (In My Life, All You Need is Love, And I Love Her, All My Loving, Eight Days a Week, and Love Me Do), and then filled in the remainder of the pre- and post-service music with some of their other hits.  For the ceremony itself, she went with more traditional selections:

• Family & Bridal Party Processional:  "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by J.S. Bach
• Bride's Processional:  "Bridal Chorus" by R. Wagner (also known as "Here Comes the Bride")
• Recessional:  "Wedding March" by F. Mendelssohn

During the ceremony, the father of the groom sang "Amazing Grace" in Ojibway.  It was a wonderful way to include the family's culture in the event!
