I think this is a first — I had three different events this weekend!
From Buckhead to Roswell to Norcross, I played everything from The Eagles to Schubert, saw beautiful venues, and met interesting people.
Here’s my itinerary:
Rehearsal Dinner at The Estate on Piedmont Road
It’s been well over a year since I’ve been to The Estate, and I was happy to be back to their “polished plank pine flooring” and fantastic piano. I also enjoy playing at rehearsal dinner because it’s pretty much Anything Goes as far as what songs to play.
One of my favorite pianos in Atlanta
One particularly nice thing was that I got a vendor meal, which almost never happens. Even better, I got to sit and eat in a room with fellow vendors — Kelsey and Ansley of TOAST Events, Zach at Liquid AV, and Chris from 6 of 4 Photography. Working as both a wedding musician and author is pretty isolating, so it was a real treat to actually eat and chat with some co-workers. (And unfortunate that I didn’t think to get a photo of us all together.)
Wedding Ceremony at Roswell Country Club
Friday night had been fun, but also long and tiring, so I was relieved to have a simple wedding ceremony at the Roswell Country Club on Saturday. I played “Ave Maria,” “Canon in D,” and “A Thousand Years” for the entrance music, and Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” for the recessional.

Outdoor Wedding Ceremony at The Atrium
I had never been to The Atrium in Norcross before, and oooh, was it nice. I arrived and got set up super-early, so I got to take quite a few photos.

I LOVE these flowers!
And look! Finally a photo of me — and a nice one, too.
So that was my Busy Piano Weekend. And it was great fun, but now I feel like this:
