Don't Forget the Music!


You've got the rings ........
You've got the bling   
You've got the dress
You remembered the shoes



Don't forget the MUSIC!



Music can lighten a mood, underscore the solemnity of an event, or just make everyone feel good. The music for your ceremony provides the mood for the event so, because music is such an important contributor to the atmosphere of your wedding, you want to make sure that the music you choose is appropriate for both you and your guests.  

Are you a lover of all things traditional or are you a trend setter?  
Your wedding music should reflect what you love!

Prelude music is meant to entertain your guests as they anticipate your arrival.  
Do you want a specific genre of music such as Classical, Celtic or Country



Perhaps an entertaining 'mash-up' of popular love songs and oldies is more your style.
The 'Oldies' are guaranteed to bring back memories for your older guests. 

  
What kind of music do you love? 
I'm looking for new music to learn.......give me some ideas!

Off the Beaten Path



I love playing my harp here!

They've opened the new North Garden now and it is SPECTACULAR!
Not sure who took this picture in 2011 but thank you to the bride for sending me a copy.   


Good place for Steampunk weddings or just to sit and contemplate......





Great wedding or event venue.  Love playing here!


I take family to Bonna Bella whenever they're in town, 
but never thought of it as a wedding venue till I saw 
Greg Ceo's pictures of a wedding held here recently. 



   I almost forgot the Fragrant Garden in Forsyth Park!  
The wedding I played for at the Fragrant Garden was quiet, intimate and perfect!

Love & the Moon


Moondance
Written/composed byVan Morrison
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance 
With the stars up above in your eyes 
A fantabulous night to make romance 
Neath the cover of October skies 
And all the leaves on the trees are falling 
To the sound of the breezes that blow 
And I'm trying to please to the calling 
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low 
And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush 
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush 

Chorus: 
Can I just have one a more moondance with you, my love 
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Blue Moon
Written/composed by Richard Rogers/Lorenz Hart
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold

Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Fly Me to the Moon
Songwriters: HEWSON, PAUL DAVID / EVANS, DAVE / CLAYTON, ADAM /
 MULLEN, LARRY / CORDES, ATTRELL STEPHEN JR
Fly me to the moon, 
And let me play among the stars. 
Let me see what spring is like, 
On jupiter and mars. 
In other words, hold my hand, 
In other words, darling kiss me. 

Fill my heart with song, 
And let me sing forever more, 
You are all I long for, 
All I worship and adore, 
In other words, please be true, 
In other words, I love you.


Moonlight Serenade
Songwriters: PARISH, MITCHELL/MILLER, GLENN
I stand at your gate and the song that I sing is of moonlight. 
I stand and I wait for the touch of your hand in the June night. 
The roses are sighing a Moonlight Serenade. 
The stars are aglow and tonight how their light sets me dreaming. 
My love, do you know that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming? 
I bring you and sing you a Moonlight Serenade. 
Let us stray till break of day 
In love's valley of dreams. 
Just you and I, a summer sky, 
A heavenly breeze kissing the trees. 

So don't let me wait, come to me tenderly in the June night. 
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight, 
A love song, my darling, a Moonlight Serenade
