WEDDING BLOG
Harpist Christine MacPhail - Orlando, Florida

Thank you for taking time to read through my blog. It is such an honor to perform my harp music for wedding ceremonies and be included in the special moments of a couple's celebration. It's wonderful to watch a bride & groom exchange vows, and of course there is nothing more beautiful than a bride walking down the aisle. I am grateful to have a profession doing something I love!

I am thrilled to have received Wedding Wire Bride's Choice 2012,
The Knot "Best of Weddings" 2012,
and The Perfect Wedding Guide Preferred Vendor 2011!

Thank you to the brides & grooms for your kind reviews.

MAY 2012

May is a wonderful month for wedding celebrations in Central Florida.
Some couples have just graduated from college at the end of April and are ready to start their new lives as husband and wife.
It is also a good time for out of town guests to take a vacation to Orlando.
Congratulations to the newlyweds and thank you for including my harp music!


MetroWest Wedding Orlando
MetroWest Wedding Ceremony, Orlando, Florida
May 12/12 - Alicia & JP, MetroWest Golf Club, Orlando, Florida
I was the wedding harpist for this ceremony at the wonderful MetroWest Golf Club.
It was a beautiful Central Florida evening with a lovely breeze on the golf course.

I loved the bright pink and green colors that Alicia chose for her wedding.

For the bridal party processional I played  Bless the Broken Road,
and for her walk up the aisle the bride requested "Love Never Fails" by Brandon Heath.

Congratulations and thanks for including my harp music!




May 11/12 - Cecille & Harold, Kraft Azalea Gardens, Winter Park, FL
I provided ceremony music for this wedding at gorgeous Kraft Azalea Gardens.
This is a beautiful wedding location in Winter Park; the exedra area faces the lake.

Many birds were nearby including herons, egrets, and even an owl overlooking the ceremony.
The bride and groom requested spiritual songs such as  How Great Thou Art,
and modern love songs such as  Lucky.

This was a cute photo from Sandra Johnson Photography of the couple at the harp!
Congratulations!

May 7/12 - Lindsey & Leroy, Cypress Grove Park, Orlando, Florida
I was the ceremony harp player for this destination wedding at Cypress Grove Park in the beautiful lakefront gazebo.
The bride & groom came to Orlando from the UK and I was glad the weather cooperated so they could have some Florida sunshine.
They requested many traditional love songs such as  Endless Love,  From This Moment On,  Wonderful Tonight, and  Can't Help Falling in Love.
I just love cake toppers and this was a really cute one! Congratulations to the newlyweds!

May 7/12 - Jane & Richard, Hilton Parc Soleil, Orlando, Florida
I played wedding ceremony music at this gorgeous Hilton Grand Vacations Parc Soleil gazebo.
This was an intimate event with just the bride and groom which was very sweet.

The bride is also a harpist so it was an honor to perform for her wedding.
She requested:
"Rhosymedere" during the prelude,
 Canon in D for the processional,
 The Lord's Prayer during the ceremony, and
 At Last after the kiss.

Congratulations on your destination wedding!




May 6/12 - Tricia & Trent, Grand Bohemian Hotel, Orlando, FL
I provided harp music for the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour for this couple.
The venue was the Grand Bohemian Hotel in downtown Orlando, a gorgeous wedding location.
The ceremony was held on the 6th floor at the pool terrace.
I had to snap a photo of the red carpet for the aisle runner - love it!

The bride requested one of my favorite Disney tunes for her processional:
     I See The Light from Tangled.
The couple also asked for some Keith Urban songs, including
     Making Memories Of Us.

Congratulations!

May 5/12 - Elisa & Jack, Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, Orlando, FL
I was the wedding musician for the ceremony and cocktail hour at this event.
The ceremony was held in a hotel ballroom. I really loved these floral arrangements in glass bowls!

The groom requested the traditional  Bridal Chorus - Here Comes the Bride for the bride's entrance,
and the couple asked for  I'm Yours for the recessional.

The cocktail hour took place in the foyer outside the hotel ballrooms.
I played a variety of love songs at that time including  Brown Eyed Girl and  Hey Soul Sister.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!




May 2/12 - Emily & Aaron, Sea Breeze Point, DisneyWorld Boardwalk, FL
It was a pleasure to provide the ceremony music for this destination wedding. The bride & groom came from the UK with friends and family to get married in Florida.
Sea Breeze Point is a wonderful wedding gazebo location on the lake at the BoardWalk.
The groom was a Star Wars fan, and for the recessional song the bride requested Darth Vader's Theme  Imperial March as a surprise for him. He loved it!
Other harp music requests included Disney songs such as  A Whole New World and  Beauty and the Beast.
The cake topper included the couple's cute dog and a Star Wars lightsaber for the groom! Congratulations!

I enjoyed performing for other events in May as well as these weddings and vow renewals. I was the harpist for Mother's Day brunch at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes, a corporate grand opening event for Florida Hospital, a 50th birthday party, and an open house at a law firm in downtown Orlando.




Thank you again for reading through my blog.
To all the future brides & grooms: Happy Wedding planning!
