Craig and Laura planned their Bay Harbor wedding from the Detroit area. Northern Michigan is a perfect location for a close-to-home destination wedding, and everyone was able to escape the high temperatures that we've been dealing with this summer. It rained a bit in the morning and early afternoon, but cleared out nicely for the 4:00 pm ceremony. A breeze off of Lake Michigan kept the beach wedding comfortable!
With the reception scheduled to immediately follow the ceremony, I set up my Laurel Leaf harp for the cocktail hour at the Bay Harbor Conference Center prior to heading down to Sunset Beach with my BlevinSong harp. It made the transition between the two locations much easier, and I was able to get music going for the cocktail hour sooner.
Down on the beach, guests arrived to a variety of classical and popular harp music. The bridesmaids entered to Sting's "Fields of Gold," with "Canon in D" serving as the bride's processional. During the unity sand ceremony, I played "The Prayer" from Quest for Camelot. "Trumpet Tune" ended the ceremony, with the guests leaving the beach and heading to the reception down the street at the Bay Harbor Conference Center.
For the cocktail hour, the bride and groom requested that I play all popular music from the 1990's through today. It might not be what most people expect to hear on the harp, but I love doing the unexpected! Some of the pieces I played included:
- Collide by Howie Day
- Glitter in the Air by Pink
- Can You Feel the Love Tonight from The Lion King
- Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
- Marry Me and Hey Soul Sister by Train
- Falling Slowly from Once
