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!

Robin and Bryce-The Perfect Family Wedding!!

Robin's brother Blake sang to very beautifully and had us all in tears.  This couple was warmed and nurtured by the most wonderful familys.  What a legacy to pass on!!  They wrote me a delightful thank you note:

Hi Susan,
I just wanted to thank you for doing such an amazing job playing at our wedding yesterday! The music was so beautiful! Our guests were blown away by the harp music! Thank you for helping to make our day so perfect!
The fact that you arrived early was so incredible! I really appreciate that you made sure to beat the traffic!
And, thank you again for meeting with my brother to practice his songs, and for being so flexible with the time! You are amazing!
Thank you again!
Robin & Bryce
