Northern Indiana Wedding Music ~ Harpist in South Bend

What a beautiful afternoon for a wedding!  With all of the rain and heat we've had this summer, it was a pleasure to have an outdoor ceremony that could actually go ahead as planned!  I've played for several weddings at Blue Heron on the Blackthorn Golf Course.  New this time was the pergola on the lawn that is surrounded by flowers and provides a centralized backdrop for the couple's vows.

The bridesmaids, all wearing short azalea-colored dresses and carrying blue & purple bouquets, entered to "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera.  The bride's processional was the traditional "Bridal Chorus (Here Comes the Bride)."  They went with pop music for the recessional - the Beatles' song "All My Loving."

In South Bend and throughout Northern Indiana, I love playing the harp for weddings!  Visit my website, South Bend Wedding Music, for more information on including a harpist in your wedding plans.

Blue Heron at Blackthorn Wedding Ceremony

My first June wedding was at the Blue Heron at Blackthorn in South Bend, Indiana.  Unfortunately, there are no pictures because the wind was so strong I couldn't let go of the harp to take any!  The colors were dark chocolate and red, and the ceremony was performed by Kerri Hoffman.  Music selections included:

• Bridal party processional:  Only Time by Enya
• Bride's processional:  Canon in D by Pachelbel
• Recessional:  Fields of Gold by Sting

It was a perfect combination of traditional music and contemporary songs!   There is no rule that you have to be consistent with your music genres throughout your ceremony.  It's fine to mix popular and classical songs, as long as your musicians are comfortable with the pieces you have selected.  Visit my Repertoire List to see some of the possibilities!
