On a crisp winter day in Estes Park, our duo traveled to the charming Bristlecone Inn in Estes Park to play music for an enchanting vow renewal ceremony. The couple had originally planned to hire me to play live music for their wedding in 2022, but due to the Omicron variant of Covid, they decided to elope and renew their vows in front of family and friends one year later.

For their relaxed vow renewal ceremony, the couple requested traditional Irish music along with other favorites that they were excited to hear, including music from Lord of the Rings, and movie music. The sound of our flute and violin duo filled the cozy and intimate space with warmth and elegance.

As guests arrived at the Bristlecone Inn, they were greeted by our lively and upbeat traditional Irish music. We played a mix of fast Irish music and other dramatic and upbeat songs to accompany the appetizers and cocktails during the happy hour. The music set the tone for a lighthearted and joy-filled celebration.

  1. Banish Misfortune (Irish)

  2. Gigue from Suite #3 in D Major (Bach)

  3. Allegro from Concerto in E Major, Op. 8 #1, Spring (Vivaldi)

  4. Dennis Murphy’s Polka (Irish)

  5. Si Bheag, Si Mhor (Irish)

After the happy hour, it was time for the main event. The bride and groom renewed their vows, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The bride looked stunning in a magnificent black gown, while the groom wore a traditional kilt. The ceremony was filled with emotion and love from close family and friends.

Following the ceremony, the bride and groom cut the cake, and then it was time for their first dance. They chose the delightful “Concerning Hobbits" from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. The dance ended in giggles, because “Concering Hobbits” is very hard to dance to, but it was all part of the charm of their wonderful day.

For lunch, they requested mellow music and slow Irish pieces. Here are some samples from the dinner music:

  1. Si Bheag, Si Mhor (Irish)

  2. Morning Star (Irish)

  3. Clair de Lune (Debussy)

  4. Carry on My Wayward Son (Kansas)

  5. River Flows in You (Yiruma)

While we were playing, we noticed that a young girl was absolutely fascinated with our music and instruments. Between songs, we had the opportunity to show her our instruments, and now she’s wants to learn to play both the flute and violin!

Afterwards, we were invited to eat a meal of some of the best burgers and cake I’ve ever had. I wish I had the name of the baker because not only did the cake taste incredible, but it looked amazing!

The couple's decision to have live music for their special day added a personal touch and created an intimate and memorable atmosphere that will be cherished for years to come.

A Haunted Victorian Garden Party Wedding in Denver’s Woodland Mosaic Garden Solarium

String Trio Wedding Ceremony and Reception Music at the Denver Botanic Gardens, Flute and Strings by Christen Stephens, Photographer: Kate Merrill Photo

 

On a sunny Halloween Day, I had the pleasure of performing with my string trio at a captivating Haunted Victorian Garden themed wedding ceremony in the Woodland Mosaic Garden Solarium. This gorgeous garden location, nestled right in the middle of the city of Denver, is my all-time favorite wedding spot in the Colorado. Our musical performance was reminiscent of a Victorian house orchestra, which would have been very popular at that time, and we helped to create a romantic atmosphere, perfect for a Halloween wedding and the couple's unique vision.

From the Bride:

“It was a dream to walk down the aisle to the instrumentals of this live string trio. 😍 We hosted our intimate wedding ceremony and reception in the Green Solarium at the Denver Botanic Gardens - and the trio sounded absolutely amazing. Plus Christen was super easy to work with! She was super responsive and flexible when it came to planning our ceremony and reception songs. Her trio learned a new song for our processional, plus they hit the cues perfectly. I wanted our recessional song to start when we had our first kiss - and the totally nailed my magical movie kiss moment! Plus, Christen created the playlist for our cocktail hour and reception, based on our music tastes, so I didn't have to spend a long time figuring that out. I would totally recommend going with LIVE MUSIC for your wedding - and I completely recommend Christen and her crew. :)”

I loved working with this bride, and was excited to help her bring her wedding day vision together with our music. One piece of her vision was a special request for her wedding party's processional song – "Changes" by Black Sabbath. Although this might seem like an unconventional choice, I embraced the challenge and created a joyful arrangement for our string trio to perform. The bride and I made a few inside jokes about ignoring the lyrics, and I focused on the melody in my arrangement. The result was a surprisingly delightful and memorable processional song, that really captured the attention of everyone in attendance.

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails and refreshments as we continued to play an upbeat mix of classical, pop, rock, and traditional Irish tunes. Our repertoire even included a few selections from the Star Wars soundtrack, another special request from the bride. I’ll always fondly remember this Halloween day wedding and working with this wonderful couple to make their wedding day dream become a reality.

An Irish Wedding Celebration in Estes Park, Colorado: Flute, Viola, Cello Trio

Flute and String Trio Wedding Ceremony Music at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church in Estes Park, Colorado, Flute and Strings by Christen Stephens, Photo by Christen Stephens

I love playing Irish music on my flute, and it’s one of my specialties, so I was so excited when this couple asked me to help celebrate their Irish heritage at their wedding with our music! The family had immigrated from Ireland through Ellis Island, which reminded me of my own grandmother who also immigrated through Ellis Island. What a wonderful and fun family history!

The couple chose our flute and strings trio (flute, viola, cello), to play music for their wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They loved the full sound of our trio, but that it has a lighter sound than a quartet.

The ceremony took place at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church in Estes Park, Colorado. It was a charming hilltop church in a majestic mountain setting. Originally, the couple wanted a prelude of Irish music and other non-traditional music to greet their guests as they arrived. Unfortunately, it turned out that this Catholic Church required us to play approved traditional music. I picked out a new set list and had it approved, and I sadly couldn’t incorporate any of the music that the bride originally wanted. But we were able to fit in all of the bride’s song requests later for cocktails!

We played a beautiful and holy prelude, befitting of the setting, and our music filled the church with glorious sounds from our overhead perch in the choir loft. For her communion, the bride chose for us to play “Blest Are They”, and I arranged a lush setting of the song for our trio to perform.

Afterwards, we moved to Della Terra Mountain Chateau to play cocktail hour music. This is where we let loose and had some fun! We played 100% traditional Irish music and Riverdance music. From jigs and reels to slow and haunting airs, we created a lovely vibrant atmosphere with our music as guests mingled for cocktails. To accomplish this, we added 11 new traditional Irish pieces to our repertoire, and I specially arranged 5 new Riverdance songs for our trio. Leading up the wedding, it was not uncommon for my husband to hear me playing “Reel Around the Sun” and other lively Irish tunes over and over again so that I could perfect this difficult music. It was thrilling when it all came together into one celebration!

I loved playing my flute along with my cellist for this intimate and traditional wedding ceremony at Our Lady of Lourds Catholic Church. This charming mountain chapel is nestled in the idyllic town of Georgetown, Colorado, the kind of small town that you read of in novels. As we waited for the church to be unlocked, the curious locals asked who was getting married today as they drove by, and they cheered their congratulations when we responded.

The bride wanted a mountain chique vibe for her wedding, and she asked that we include some traditional Irish selections as well. The church stayed locked until shortly before the ceremony, so we were quick to begin playing prelude music as soon as we could, as the guests were being seated.

From the Bride:

“Christen was absolutely incredible; as a planner, musician, and person. She helped us select the perfect "playlist," plan the logistics of the music so that everything would go seamlessly, and was a pleasure just to talk to, much less hear her play! Her musical ability is unmatched, and her range is amazing. She made everything about the planning so easy, and my only regret is that we didn't have her play longer! I would recommend her and her team to anyone 1000%! Amazing person and musician!”

The processionals were the traditional Canon in D (Pachelbel) for the wedding party and Wagner’s Bridal Chorus for the bride. During the ceremony, I played “Amazing Grace” as a reflection song, and there was such a feel of serenity that filled the chapel! We played the less traditional “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles as the recessional, to send guests off to the cocktail hour.

 

For cocktails, we all moved to Chief Hosa Lodge in Golden. The bride wanted fun, light, and happy music to celebrate a love-filled day. At the bride’s request, we played upbeat contemporary selections by the Beatles, John Denver, and acoustic style music from the 80’s. We enhanced our music with our amplification and fun beats on our drum machine! People loved the fun music selections!

The couple was married in mid-November at the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch on a beautiful terrace overlooking the mountains. Snow clouds were moving in, creating a dramatic effect, and perfect lighting for some amazing photos. Before the ceremony, the wedding guests mingled inside to stay warm before the ceremony, and sometimes stepped outside to take photos in front of the mountains. I played my flute inside and set up my amplification outside so that I could be easily heard in both locations.

Just as the ceremony was ended, it began to lightly snow. Guests moved to the cocktail area and I was invited to join as well. It was a beautiful indoor/outdoor space made cozy with a fire and heat lamps. I didn’t stay too long, because it began to snow in earnest, and I had a long drive back to Denver.

From the moment that I spoke with the bride Laura on the phone, I knew that we would be friends. We related on so many things, and I just loved Laura’s taste in music! Laura chose me to play solo flute because she said that the flute has such a celebratory and joyful sound, and it wouldn’t make her cry like a violin would.

From the Bride:

“Christen Stephens was absolutely fantastic and 5 stars isn't nearly enough! She was a complete professional from start to finish, and she truly made our wedding day perfect. I found Christen less than 2 months before our wedding, and even with that short time to prepare, she put together an incredible song list (I should also mention, the songs she has in her repertoire to choose from are also incredible!) A huge variety of songs and genres, and she went over and above by offering to learn any songs that were special to us and were not on her list. We can't thank Christen enough for providing her lovely music and great personality to our ceremony. Highly, highly recommend!”

Laura loved my large repertoire list, and she chose music from the Phantom of the Opera, Legends of the Fall, John Denver, the Beach Boys and Beatles, pop songs, traditional Irish tunes, and nostalgic jazz tunes. I also enjoyed learning three new songs: Rocky Mountain High (John Denver), California Girls (Beach Boys), and Music of the Night (Phantom of the Opera).

It was the end of May, and the Colorado mountains had been blanked in snowy weather and thick clouds for weeks. When I was hired to play solo flute for this wedding ceremony on Sapphire Point, I prayed for a beautiful day. Wow, were my prayers answered! The day started off very cold, but the hot mountain sun came out just in time for this magical wedding ceremony to take place. The mountains were covered in a fresh layer of gleaming white snow, which contrasted beautifully with the brilliant blue of Dillon Lake.

The couple was married under a birch wedding arch which was bursting with purple and pink flowers. The flowers and greenery in the arch and the bouquets were chosen to create an Elvin forest feel, and I was absolutely in love with them! My joyful flute music completed the picture, bringing to mind dancing nymphs in a secluded forest setting.

I played a mix of classical, pop, and Irish songs on my flute to greet the guests as they arrived. The bride walked down the aisle to Wagner’s “Bridal March”, and the ceremony was short and intimate. Afterwards, I continued to play as guests mingled and as photos were taken. My solo flute music added an air of festivity and beauty and announced that something special was happening at this park.

Fun Tip: In natural Colorado settings like this one, live music is the very first touch that will draw guests in and announce that a wedding is taking place. The music will be heard even before anything else is revealed. Then have welcoming signs to draw your friends and family in, and add fresh flowers for an elegant finish.
