Central Illinois Wedding Music ~ Harpist for a Ceremony at Panther Creek

Alice and Cory had a bit of luck on their side during their wedding ceremony at Panther Creek Country Club in Springfield, Illinois.  The weather was very "fall like" in the fact that the rain looked as if it was going to move in at any second.  But, instead of being windy and wet, the bride and groom only had to deal with it being windy!


The setup for the wedding at Panther Creek was right by the golf course and the clubhouse, which provided for a beautiful ceremony location.  With finely manicured greens serving as the backdrop of the ceremony, Alice and Cory had an amazing venue (even if one of the ushers had to politely ask for a neighbor to turn off a leaf blower!). 


Once the leaf blower stopped and the ceremony started, the families of the couple were seated to "Bless the Broken Road."  The bridesmaids and groomsmen entered the ceremony location to "Arioso."  With several children involved in the ceremony, the bride had requested a separate song for their processional.   Bach's "Prelude in C" worked out perfectly for the five children to walk to the front of the ceremony location.  Alice stayed with the traditional for her entrance by selecting "Canon in D," which is one of my favorite bridal entrance pieces to play.


When the bride and groom were announced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Cory Leefers, I played their chosen recessional piece, "Trumpet Voluntary."  For their getaway, the bride and groom left the ceremony location in a horse drawn carriage!


For weddings in Springfield and throughout Central Illinois, harp music is a wonderful accompaniment for your ceremony and reception!  For more information about having a harpist for your wedding, visit my website:  Central Illinois Wedding Music.
