Wedding at Deep River County Park ~ Hobart, Indiana Harpist

As I was driving to Deep River County Park, I received a slightly panicked phone call from my bride for the day, Christina.  She had planned a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony at the park's gazebo, and it was in danger of being ruined by the remnants of Hurricane Isaac coming through Indiana.  Because harps are made of wood ~ and extremely expensive to repair or replace ~ it's crucial that it not get wet!  Fortunately, the gazebo has a (mostly) solid roof, and provides enough cover for the harp.  The only change we had to make to have the wedding go off as planned was to set the harp up inside the gazebo, rather than off to the side.  Not bad! 

While I was setting up, Christina's mother thanked me for my flexibility and being willing to go ahead with the outdoor ceremony.  If it's possible at all, I find a way to make it happen!  Fortunately for everyone, the rain stopped about half an hour before the ceremony began. 

But then...no officiant!  He wasn't from the area, and couldn't find the park.  I let the photographer know that ~ if all else fails ~ I am ordained and could perform the ceremony.  I did that a couple of years ago when an officiant was nearly an hour late, leaving everyone sitting outside in the sun, and putting the entire wedding schedule significantly behind.  Fortunately, I haven't needed to use it yet ~ their pastor showed up about fifteen minutes after the ceremony was supposed to begin.

As the families entered, I played "What a Wonderful World," followed by "Marry Me" for the entrance of the maid of honor and the flower girl (the daughter of the bride).  Christina made her big entrance to Pachelbel's "Canon in D."  As the couple was pronounced husband and wife, I played "King Williams' March" for their exit from the garden. 

Looking for a harpist to complete your wedding plans?  I have experience playing for hundreds of weddings through out the area, and at the most popular wedding venues in Northwest Indiana.  Visit my website ~ Northwest Indiana Wedding Harpist ~ and contact me for availability and a quote!

Valparaiso Harpist ~ Wedding Ceremony Music at Ogden Gardens

The last time I played for a wedding at Ogden Gardens (the end of June), it was so hot!  Fortunately for Amy and Jacob, the late summer actually cooled off!  Their August 18th ceremony at the park's gazebo was not only beautiful, but their guests were comfortable and able to just enjoy the day.

As guests arrived, they were greeted with harp music ranging from classical pieces to popular love songs.  When the bridal party came down the aisle, I played the jazz standard "Autumn Leaves."  The bride's entrance music was the Pachelbel "Canon in D" ~ a wedding classic!  The short and sweet ceremony concluded with the presentation of the newly married couple, and everyone exited to "Winter" from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.  We seemed to have a "seasonal" theme going, so I couldn't resist throwing in "Spring" ~ also from The Four Seasons ~ during the postlude!

In Valparaiso and throughout Northwest Indiana, I am available as a professional harpist and wedding musician.  From when guests begin to arrive, to when the last one leaves the ceremony site, you can thrill them by having live harp music at your wedding!  To find out more, visit my website:  Valparaiso Wedding Harpist.

LaPorte Wedding Reception ~ Harp & Strings at the Red Barn Experience

A massive thunderstorm couldn't stop the celebration of Emily and Seth's wedding reception!  It was hot in the afternoon as we set up, but we could see the storm clouds moving in.  Shortly before the reception was scheduled to begin, the rain hit.  Then the wind.  Since we were set up in an open breezeway, with rain coming through horizontally, we had to get the instruments out of there!

With a couple of guests standing between the harp and the outdoors (one man commented that the harp was likely worth more than his shirt ~ and he's right!), I moved the harp to the inside of the pavilion.  Fortunately, the Red Barn Experience has flaps on the windows that were fastened against the weather, and sides to the adjacent tent.  And it wasn't just the harp ~ the bride had booked a trio of harp, violin, and cello!  With wooden, handcrafted instruments, we have to be very careful to protect them from getting wet.  We found a dry spot in the middle of the dining area, and waited for the storm to pass.

A picture from before the chaos...

As guests began to arrive, we started to play in our improvised location.  It was a little tight between the tables, but we were determined to make everything as beautiful as possible for the families, even if the evening was not going exactly as planned!  One plus from the storm was the much cooler temperatures that followed.  The trio played a variety of upbeat classical and popular pieces, including:

• Rondeau from Sinfonies de Fanfares by Mouret (well-known as the Masterpiece Theater theme)
• Air from The Water Music by Handel
• St. Anthony Chorale by Brahms
• Flower Duet from Lakme by Delibes
• Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles
• Sheep May Safely Graze from Cantata #208 by Bach

The trio played for the first two hours of the reception, through the cocktail hour and most of the dinner service.  Then we switched up to a harp and piano duet.  With the change in instrumentation, we went with more popular songs, Broadway favorites, and Irish tunes.  Some of these were:

• A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton
• Can You Feel the Love Tonight from The Lion King
• Edelweiss from The Sound of Music
• Somewhere Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz
• You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban
• Morgan Magen by O'Carolan

Towards the end of the evening, everyone went outside to light sky lanterns and send them off with best wishes for the bride and groom.

From solo harp to a small orchestra, I can put together the perfect ensemble for your wedding!  The harp and violin is the most popular duet, and adding the cello gives the sound greater depth.  I can also create groups with flute, viola, trumpet, clarinet, piano, organ, string quartet, marimba, steel pan, and vocalists.  Contact me via my website ~ Northwest Indiana Wedding Music ~ for a customized quote!

Northwest Indiana Harpist ~ Wedding Ceremony at County Line Orchard

Josie & Arthur are the sweetest couple!  They celebrated their wedding ceremony at the County Line Orchard in Hobart, Indiana, in a (mercifully!) shaded grove among the apple trees.  To combat the high temperatures, they even provided their guests a beverage stand, complete with cool lemonade, water, and iced tea.

Their guests arrived at the ceremony site on trolleys.  With so many people attending, it took awhile to get everyone down to the orchard from the main barn.  Harp music kept the early arrivals entertained as we waited for all of the guests to arrive.  A trolley carrying the bride and bridesmaids followed the final group of guests, and the wedding party came down the aisle to "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles.  Josie's own processional was "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof.

During the ceremony, the couple performed a wine sharing ceremony.  While this was taking place, I played Elton John's "Your Song."  The officiant had the guests move to the center aisle prior to the recessional, so the newlyweds would be surrounded by their family and friends as they made their exit from the ceremony.  They headed off to the reception to "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz.

Harpist in Valparaiso ~ Wedding Ceremony Music at Ogden Gardens

Despite a very hot afternoon, Kristin & Brian's wedding went off without any problems at Valparaiso's Ogden Gardens.  I was able to set the harp up inside the gazebo, where the shade kept the harp (and harpist!) from melting.  The bride's grandmother was especially enthralled with the harp!

Rev. Doug Klukken of Free Spirit Church in Crown Point performed the ceremony.  Kristin chose Schubert's "Ave Maria" for the entrance of her bridal party, and "Canon in D" by Pachelbel for her processional.  The recessional was the popular "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera.

Whether you are looking for traditional or contemporary wedding music, the harp can provide all of the music for your ceremony!  A visit to my website ~ Northwest Indiana Harpist ~ will give you more information and details on including harp music in your celebration.  Happy planning!

Michigan City Harpist ~ Wedding at the International Friendship Gardens

Amy and William were married on a June evening at the International Friendship Gardens in Michigan City, Indiana.  It looks as if there have been some improvements at the gardens this year, from better parking to nicer chairs for the wedding guests.  You can even have your reception here now!

The pastor officiating the ceremony arrived shortly after I did, so we were able to go over all of the music cues with plenty of time to spare before guests began to arrive. It's nice not to have to try to do that when I'm already playing prelude music!  Amy chose "Fanny Power" ~ a piece by the Irish harpist O'Carolan ~ for her bridesmaids' processional, and the traditional "Bridal Chorus" for her entrance music.  With the Irish music Amy chose, the Celtic style of my BlevinSong harp was a perfect match!

After a scripture reading, I played a verse of the hymn "O Perfect Love."  As the couple and their pastor moved toward the table for the unity sand ceremony, I began the song "When Irish Eyes are Smiling."  We had worked it out so that the music would fade to a quieter volume while the pastor was speaking, and then crescendo as the couple finished the service and moved back to the front of the aisle.  Once they were pronounced husband & wife, everyone exited the Symphony Garden to "Trumpet Tune."

If you are planning a wedding in the Michigan City or LaPorte areas, contact me about having harp music at your ceremony!  You'll find more information on my website ~ Michigan City Harpist.

Meyer's Castle Wedding ~ Harp Music for a Reception

To kick off what has been our busiest weekend of the year (so far!), I played for Judy & Jon's wedding reception at Meyer's Castle in Dyer, Indiana.  Their ceremony was held on the porch of the castle (a string quartet provided the music for this), followed by their reception under the tent. 

Judy was actually my very first 2012 wedding to book - all the way back in October of 2010!  It's always a good idea to book as many of your vendors as you can far in advance, as that gives you the best selection of available professionals.  Once you have your date and venue set, you can get locked in on my calendar! 

The tent was decorated in red and black, and the resident peacocks made their presence known!  Judy chose the Laurel Leaf harp, as its gold and ebony finish matched the reception decor.  The music I played for the cocktail and dinner hours included:

• Caribbean Blue ~ Enya
• Stairway to Heaven ~ Led Zeppelin
• Bella's Lullaby ~ Twilight
• Ave Maria ~ Schubert
• Lothorion ~ Enya (a special favorite of the groom, played as the first song after the introductions)
• My Favorite Things ~ The Sound of Music
• Greensleeves ~ Traditional English
• Fields of Gold ~ Sting
• Sheep May Safely Graze ~ Bach

along with a wide variety of other classical, popular, Broadway, and Celtic pieces.  A little something for everyone!  

With a song list that ranges from the traditional to the contemporary, a versatile harpist can provide music for your entire wedding ~ from the ceremony all the way through dinner!  To find more information about having me play for your event, visit my website ~ Northwest Indiana Harpist.

 

Northwest Indiana Harpist ~ Employee Appreciation Dinner in Schererville

The employees of ArcelorMittal who had been with the company for at least fifty years were honored with a dinner at Teibel's Restaurant in Schererville.  While they gathered and ate their meal, I played harp music in the background. 

The music I chose focused on popular songs from the 1940's through the 1960's.  Along with a few classical and folk music selections, everyone in attendance was sure to hear something they recognized!

Having live music really adds extra class and distinction to any event!  From weddings to corporate parties to private dinners, I have performed as a harpist throughout Northwest Indiana and the Chicago area.  For details on including harp music in the plans for your next event, visit my website ~ Northwest Indiana Harpist.

Northwest Indiana Harpist ~ Wedding Ceremony in Hobart

Sarah and Brian's wedding at the Revelli Bandshell in Hobart, Indiana was beautiful.  Even though I am sure the bride and groom probably wished for a slightly cooler day, their guests got to enjoy blue skies with a nice breeze!

The wedding party entered from a covered walkway next to Lake George.  The bridesmaids and groomsmen entered together to "King William's March."  This was a great choice by Sarah, and one of my favorite songs to play at a wedding!  While most brides and grooms typically choose this as a recessional piece, it really works for a processional as well.

Sarah made her way to the bandshell with both her mom and dad escorting her.  For her entrance, she had selected "Canon in D."  This is another one of my wedding favorites and a song that I readily suggest to anyone looking for something classical and traditional, but not wanting the Wagner "Bridal Chorus" (aka "Here Comes the Bride").

When it came time for the married couple to be introduced and to walk together for the first time as Mr. and Mrs., I provided a very majestic musical background with "Trumpet Tune."

Northwest Indiana Harpist ~ Wedding Reception in New Chicago

Our first wedding of 2012 was for Laurel and Jason's reception at Assumption Hall in New Chicago, Indiana.  When planning a January wedding, I'm sure they weren't expecting temperatures in the 40's!  The snow outside might have been melting, but inside the hall they created a winter wonderland with silver and teal decorations.

I played the harp as guests arrived for the cocktail hour and continued through the dinner service.  The bride requested that I play mostly popular music from the 1970's through today.  One favorite of the guests seated next to the harp was "Come Sail Away" by Styx.  Other pieces included the Beatles songs "Can't Buy Me Love," "Long and Winding Road," and "In My Life."  Several of the guests came up to me after I finished and were surprised that the music was live ~ they thought it must have been a recording!

Entertainment Express served as the DJ for the rest of the evening.  Kerry is super professional, and one of the few DJs I don't have to hunt down when it's time for us to switch!  In addition to the snowflake wedding cake, the guests enjoyed a sweets table provided by the mother of the bride.  She baked 934 cookies for the wedding!

The harp can be a wonderful addition to your wedding ~ the ceremony, the reception, or both!  If you are interested in finding out more about it, visit our website, Northwest Indiana Harpist, or call 1-877-HARP-578.  Happy new year, and congratulations to the newlyweds Laurel & Jason!

Crown Point Harpist ~ Harp Music for a Baby Shower

A harpist for a baby shower?  Yes, the harp provides a beautiful and soothing sound that is perfect for a baby shower luncheon! On November 12, I provided a variety of musical selections as family and friends celebrated their soon to be growing family.  This was the first grandchild for the dad's parents, so they were extra excited!  Some selections that I played included modern pop pieces, Christian children's songs, and classic lullabies. 

The harp is a perfect instrument for any occasion.  Whether you are planning a large wedding, small social event, or a baby shower, visit our website, Crown Point Harp Music, to see how we can make your event better!

Valparaiso Harpist ~ Wedding Music at the Valparaiso Country Club

Debra was planning her Indiana wedding from Texas, so we made all of the plans for her wedding music by email.  With lots of sound clips on my website, it makes it easy to plan long-distance!  She originally booked just solo harp, but added a violinist as we got closer to her date. 

The ceremony was held at the Valparaiso Country Club in Northwest Indiana.  The room where the ceremony took place overlooked the golf course, and the guests just had to walk down the hallway to get to the reception. 

As guests were arriving, we played a variety of harp and violin duets, both classical and popular music.  The bride and groom each had one attendant.  The maid of honor had been the bride's friend since 3rd grade, and the father of the groom also served as his best man.  For their processional, we played "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by Bach, followed by Pachelbel's "Canon in D" for the bride.  During her speech at the reception, the bride joked that her father had been very emotional during her sister's wedding five years ago, but he gave her a little shove down the aisle! 

For the unity candle ceremony, we played "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera, and the recessional was "King William's March."  We played all of the guests out of the room, then followed them to the banquet center where we continued with joyful background music for the cocktail hour.

Indiana Wedding Harpist ~ International Friendship Gardens

I first met Rachel and Thomas at a bridal show a year ago in Schererville, Indiana.  They were planning a fall wedding at the International Friendship Gardens in Michigan City, IN, and booked within a week of the show!  They chose to have a harp & violin duet provide their ceremony music.  This is definitely one of my favorite ensembles ~ the violin provides the soaring melodic line over the lush harmonies of the harp.

After a week of non-stop rain, the first of October was cool but dry.  The gardens have a permanent tent for weddings, so you can still have an outdoor wedding, even if rain is falling!  Fortunately, although the grounds were muddy (an extra challenge when you have to push a harp across the grass!), the area under the tent was dry.

The harp & violin music started about half and hour before the ceremony was scheduled to begin.  We played a mix of recognizable classical pieces ("Air on the G String," Handel's "Largo," "Air" from Water Music, "Jupiter" from The Planets) and popular songs ("All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera, "Only Time," "Autumn Leaves").

The ceremony music was a nice mix of the traditional and the unexpected.  The families entered to "Hymne" by Vangelis, and the bridal party processional was "Fields of Gold" by Sting.  The bride's entrance music was "Canon in D."  During the rose ceremony, we played the Welsh folk song "Suogan," and the recessional was "Pavane Style Renaissance" by Wachs.

The postlude music continued through the receiving line in the garden, including "Trumpet Tune," "Trumpet Voluntary," "Rondeau" by Mouret, and "March in D" by Bach.

Northwest Indiana Wedding Music ~ Harpist in LaPorte, IN

"Sposa bagnata, sposa fortunata" - Translated from Italian is supposed to mean, "rain on the day you get married brings good luck."  If that is the case, then Janice and Brett are two of the luckiest people!  Fortunately, luck would have it that they were inside on one of the rainiest Saturdays I've experienced this summer.  

The wedding music selected by the bride went more down the traditional and Irish path.  For the wedding party, Janice had selected Fanny Power by the Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan.  Janice entered to Canon in D, which is always a favorite of mine.  During the ceremony, the couple had a unity sand ceremony.  The song selected for the unity sand time was Aria from Rinaldo.  Finally, the Bride and Groom exited to O Perfect Love.

Northwest Indiana Harpist ~ Hammond Wedding Musician

My wedding on August 6th was a special event as I got to play a violin and harp duet with the bride's 13 year old nephew.  At the beginning of the performance he was a bit nervous, but he did a great job and provided a wonderful touch to the wedding day. 

The music selected by the bride was of the classical genre.  For part of the prelude music the Bride had requested that I play Prelude in C, Great Day, and Arioso.  I played King William's March for the seating of the families and groom's entrance.  For the rest of the wedding party, I played a part of Canon in D as the Bride wanted to enter to Canon In D as well.  The recessional was one of my favorites, Trumpet Tune.

Valparaiso Wedding Music ~ Taltree Arboretum Wedding Harpist

June 11th, 2011, was a very popular date for weddings - between the two of us, Jeff and I were playing harp for four ceremonies!  The first was at noon outside of Valparaiso, IN, at Taltree Arboretum.  They have a beautiful setting for weddings at their pavilion by the lake.  There is a lawn for outdoor ceremonies, but the pavilion is large enough to accommodate all of the guests if the weather doesn't cooperate.  It's the perfect outdoor wedding venue!

The ceremony was officiated by Tom Witham of Day of Dreams out of Chicago.  I've worked with him frequently before, and he is always very professional and creates a memorable ceremony for the couple and their guests.  The chairs were originally set up in the pavilion, but since the rain was holding off, he orchestrated getting them moved out to the lawn so the bride and groom could have a true outdoor wedding.  Of course, all of these pictures were taken before the chairs even arrived - I got there a little early!

There was no traditional bridal party, so the processional was just the families of the couple.  During their entrance, I played Bach's "Prelude in C" - it's becoming a new favorite with brides!  The bride's processional was "Canon in D".  This is a popular selection if you want something traditional or classical, but not "Here Comes the Bride".  The selection played during the unity sand ceremony was "Dedication" by Franz Liszt, and the recessional was the "Finale from Royal Fireworks Music" by Handel.

Michigan City Harpist ~ Blue Chip Casino Wedding Ceremony

I first met Debbie at a Bridal Expo last October in Merrillville, Indiana, and was excited to play for her  Memorial Day weekend ceremony in Michigan City.  Both the ceremony and reception were held at the Blue Chip Casino.  Yes, you can have a traditional wedding there without blackjack tables or slot machines in the background!  They have several ballrooms, so the ceremony was held in one, and the reception was just down the hall.

The modern design of our Venus Penti pedal harp fit in perfectly with the black, white & purple color theme, as well as the contemporary feel of the venue.

The bride requested primarily popular songs while guests were arriving, including "Through the Eyes of Love", "Only Time", and "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic.  Her maid of honor entered to Bach's "Prelude in C" ~ played that piece often over the weekend! ~ and the bride's processional was the traditional Wagner "Bridal Chorus". 

During the lighting of the unity candle, the bride requested "The Wedding Song", also known as "There is Love", and as the couple presented roses to their parents, I played Schubert's "Ave Maria".  The recessional was the traditional "Wedding March" by Mendelssohn.

As guests exited for the receiving line, it was back to more popular selections, including "When You Say Nothing at All", "What a Wonderful World", and "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera. 

Whether you are planning a traditional or non-traditional wedding, the music of the harp can fit in perfectly!  Please visit my website, http://www.theclassicharpist.com/, for more information on having a harpist for your wedding ceremony and reception.

Funeral Harp Music ~ Rensselaer, Indiana

The music of the harp is perfect for a funeral ~ it is the instrument of angels!  It is a soothing and ethereal sound, and doesn't overpower conversation while friends and family reminisce.  For this service, I played during the visitation and the funeral.

The service took place at Jackson Funeral Chapel in Rensselaer, Indiana.  During the visitation, the family requested mostly classical and folk pieces, including:

• Arioso (Bach)
• Largo from New World Symphony (Dvorak)
• Pavane (Faure)
• By Kells Waters (traditional Welsh)
• Suogan (traditional Welsh)
• Hymne (Vangelis)
• Finlandia (Sibelius)
• Prelude in C (Bach)

The service was filled with remembrances from family members, friends, and business associates.  In between, I played two solos ("Meditation" from Thais by Massenet & Schubert's "Ave Maria") to provide some time for reflection.

Planning a funeral is never easy, and I am always honored when families ask me to play for their loved ones.  Depending upon my schedule, I may be available for last-minute services, memorials, and graveside ceremonies.  Please visit my website, Funeral Harp Music, or call 1-877-HARP-578 for more information about music for funerals and visitations.

Northwest Indiana Harpist ~ Merrillville Vow Renewal Ceremony

Since I play so many weddings, vow renewal ceremonies are a special treat.  This one was for a couple who has been married for thirty years, and chose to renew their vows in front of a large group of family and friends at the Indiana Operating Engineers Hall in Merrillville, Indiana. 

Most vow renewal ceremonies follow a framework very similar to a wedding ceremony.  I played prelude music as the guests arrived.  As with most weddings, the start was delayed!  I always have plenty of music with me to cover as much time as needed!  Once everyone had found the hall and was ready to begin, the officiants said a prayer and gave a scripture reading.  Between this and the processional, I played "The Lord's Prayer" as an instrumental solo.

The coordinator for the event had requested continuous sacred music played softly throughout the ceremony.  I alternated harp music with a keyboardist who was part of a larger band.  The band played the processional, "Every Step of the Way" for the bridal party.  The first members to enter were also a singing with the band.  I played the traditional fanfare for the bride's entrance, and then the band picked up again with "Lord Lift Us Up" for her entrance.

The ceremony included vows, a ring exchange, Holy Communion for the couple, and feet washing.  Not easy to get up and down off the floor in a wedding dress!  The band also played and sang a song that had been composed for the couple and "Take That" as a recessional.  Since the guests were already seated at the dining tables, they were able to go immediately into the meal service.

Whether you didn't have the wedding of your dreams when you were originally married, or if you just want a wonderful reason to celebrate your relationship, a vow renewal can be a beautiful and meaningful service.  We would love to provide the music for you!  Just give us a call at 1-877-HARP-578 or visit our website,
Northwest Indiana Harpist, for more information.

Northwest Indiana Harpist ~ Gala Dinner Reception

The evening of April 2nd, the organization Parents as Teachers of Lake County hosted a gala dinner reception and fundraiser at the Wicker Park Social Center in Highland, Indiana.  Guests were able to bid on items in a silent auction, enjoy a plated dinner, and take home bags of treats from a candy bar.

The room was decorated beautifully, with blue uplighting and twinkle lights that became even more noticable as it the night progressed.  I played for the first two hours of the event, during cocktails, the silent auction, and dinner service.

I've provided harp music for several wedding ceremonies and receptions at Wicker Park, but this was the first non-wedding event I've played for in their ballroom.  I'd be happy to speak with you about enhancing any event with live harp music ~ just visit my website:  Northwest Indiana Harpist for more information, or call 1-877-HARP-578.
