Northwest Indiana Wedding Harpist

While I was off playing for a wedding in Michigan, Jeff had two weddings on September 18th.  The first was in the gardens of the Oliver Mansion (Copshaholm) at the Northern Indiana Center for History in South Bend.  The rain threatened to put a damper on the outdoor ceremony, but held off until the very moment the couple was pronounced "husband and wife".  The guests ran for cover - and so did the harpist!

Their wedding music was mostly traditional:

• Seating of Families:  Ave Maria by Schubert
• Bridal Party Processional:  Trumpet Tune by Purcell
• Bride's Processional:  Bridal Chorus (Here Comes the Bride) by Wagner
• Recessional:  Wedding March by Mendelssohn

Before the ceremony, the bride opted for more popular selections (The Prayer, My Heart Will Go On, and anything by The Beatles).

Once this wedding was complete, Jeff was off to Hobart, Indiana to play harp for a wedding at Deep River County Park.  When we lived in Valparaiso, we played there frequently, but less so since we moved to South Bend.  It's always enjoyable to get back to the area!  Jeff didn't get any pictures at this one (the rain is hard on the harp and harpist!), but here is one from a couple of years ago:

It's a beautiful venue, and they usually have several weddings there every weekend.  One of the best features of the location is a large gazebo, which is a good back-up for the drizzly weather.  For the bridal party processional, the bride chose "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera, and her own entrance was the popular "Canon in D".  "Trumpet Tune" made for an upbeat recessional.
