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!

Congratulations Jarrod and Rachel, Aug. 18, 2011 at Kerry Park, Seattle

We celebrated this beautiful wedding with the glorious back drop of the Seattle skyline at sunset on a sunny perfect evening. What a visual feast!!  Especially the bride and groom!!  I can't help but comment on the comedian Uncle who told a joke about the fish that "Left his harp in Sam's Clam Disco..."

Coordinator Holly from HM events gave perfect cues and there were no dry eyes.  Here are a few pics!

"Thank-you Susan for helping to make our ceremony extra special. Your music was beautiful and everything turned out more than I could have imagined!
My Uncle Mike is a real riot, isn't he?!
Thank-you again!!!
Rachael"
