Central Illinois Harpist ~ Wedding Music at Lincoln Park, Springfield

The bridge in Springfield's Lincoln Park is a beautiful location for a wedding ceremony.  It is quietly nestled away from the rest of the park and can provide a beautiful backdrop for a wedding as it did for Tracey and Justin's ceremony. 


As the guests arrived, I played several pieces from both classical and popular genres, including All I Ask of You, Fields of Gold, Aria from Rinaldo, and Prelude in C

 
As the family and the bridesmaids approached the bridge, I played Canon in D.  When it was time for Tracey's entrance, I played the traditional bridal march, Here Comes the Bride.


As the ceremony came to a close, the music for the couple's recessional was Ode to Joy, which in my opinion makes for a great recessional song.  As the guests mingled and talked to the bride and groom, I provided postlude music also taken from classical and popular genres, including songs such as Time to Say Goodbye, Trumpet Tune, King William's March, and All You Need is Love.
