Harpin' It Up!

It's wedding time! I play the harp for wedding ceremonies and receptions, and summer is definitely the big season for it. A couple of weeks ago I played for a gorgeous outdoor ceremony in Issaquah. It was my favorite setting I've played at so far in Washington.I took these pictures of the harp with the trees in the background.


This was at a backyard of a private home, and it was an amazing yard with a FOREST in it! I'd love to have a yard like this one someday! Isn't this a beautiful setting for a wedding?

This was the view from where I was seated, at the harp. The house was gorgeous too, not just the yard! I love the huge trees around it.

I'm still trying to build up my business since I'm pretty new to the Seattle area. But it's SO fun to play at all the different places, and I do have three weddings booked for the month of August. My Saturdays this month are BUSY!
