Oldfield River Club

Wow!  

I never knew!  

I drive by Oldfield's entrance every time I play for events in & around Beaufort or Charleston but always though it was
just another gated community.  

Now I know and now...

I'm dreaming of harping at the beautiful River Club. 

 I can just picture my harp.....

on the front porch........

on the back veranda.......

under the back veranda........

out on the pier.......

in the atrium......

or in any of the beautifully decorated rooms opening to the atrium.....

Thank you Danielle Tosky, Oldfield Club Private Event Director, for hosting the Savannah Wedding Professionals get together and for showing us this lovely event venue.

Oldfield Plantation is located on the Okatie River in Beaufort County. It's intriguing history includes being burned by the British in 1781 and being shelled by Union gunboats in 1862.

The Georgian style home, built in 1972, been beautifully restored and now serves as the

Middleton Place Wedding

I thoroughly enjoyed playing for an outdoor wedding in the Octagonal Garden 

at Middleton Place, yesterday.  

The venue is spectacular and has multiple areas for events. 

 I've never seen misting fans (to keep guests comfortable) at weddings before but what a great idea!  And hey!..WHY haven't I seen this before, especially here in Savannah?  

The thoughtful wedding planner even provided a shade umbrella for me. 

 Thank you, Victoria! 

I loved that a portrait artist was there painting the scenery before & the wedding as it was happening.  

Lots of summer sounds....cricket, frogs, peacocks and motor boats in the distance.  

The breeze was blowing in from the ocean so sound was actually blown away from the guests.....

something to keep in mind if guests are to be able to hear the words and music of a ceremony

Thank You, Trisha Tucker!

Trisha is a public relations major at the University of Florida who did an interview with me as part of her coursework.       She caught me having a great time with people I love, on Easter Sunday

 Thank you Trisha!

                                           

Two serendipitous encounters (at least they were for me) led to the interview.  One at a Savannah hospital as I played my folk harp in the hallway. I had no clue that serendipity was watching. The other at Goose Feathers cafe where I was having fun with my big harp and new amplifier.
