Welcome!

Welcome to my interactive web site! I have been in the wedding industry for 27 years and have played at least 2500 weddings. This gives me a fascinating perspective, much of it poignant, memorable and hilarious.

Some weddings are unusual, such as transgender, same sex, cult, nudist or on horseback. I've played a Lord of the Rings wedding that was conducted in Elvish. Some are lavish and others are fleeting, such as one where a communist defector married at the airport. Some have been interrupted by accident (bride fell and broke leg on step to altar), one came to her wedding in an ambulance escorted by a nurse holding her IV. The tragic ones involved alcohol.

Did you know playing at the Columbia Tower Club involves 48 elevator rides to set up and break down? And there is a wonderful tunnel system under the streets to get from the load zone to inside the Fairmont Hotel in Seattle.

My harp has a $50,000 replacement value with over $10,000 of 23 kt. gold leaf. It is very delicate, yet I move it myself, often many times a day. I have a unique profession, a unique place in the community and a unique perspective to share. I would like to be enriched by hearing from you as well!

Brad Buckles, American Hero

Today I attended another seminar hosted by BridesClub featuring Brad Buckles.  I want to express my heartfelt thanks to this pioneer of the new "Wild West"...social media.  Brad encouraged me jump in where I feared to tread. With his help, my small business is exploring new vistas and possibilities. I would not have attempted this had I not been inspired to start my journey a year and a half ago when I attended my first BridesClub seminar on Social Media. Thanks again, Brad.  You are a hero.  I have a vision of you, flashlight in hand, exploring this strange terrain, with a group of us pioneers behind you, maws agape at what you are shining forth. We are in this together, and you are my leader!!
