Ceremony and Reception Harpist, Adolfo & Co, Bridgeport Art Center, Chicago

The gorgeous room as it was set up for the reception

I've been to Adolfo & Co. in the Bridgeport Art Center several times, and it is really a charming place for a smaller wedding. The room is so lovely, and Adolfo is the perfect host and officiant! The way the room is set up, there is plenty of room for a processional, which I think really adds to the occasion!

I set up on the back wall, and you can see the 
bar being set up behind me!

Cocktail Harpist, 32 E Bellevue Place, Chicago

The start to my 2025 wedding season was a cocktail hour in this gorgeous northside mansion! It was a small wedding, but they wanted to be sure to slow down and enjoy it, and live music can definitely help with that. I arrived directly at 5 pm, when they knew the ceremony would be finished, and I played cocktail music for 2 hours, as the caterer was finishing preparations for the beautiful dinner. Then, for reasons I could never explain, I managed to play the bride's favorite song as my last selection. She had not shared the favorite with me, I just got lucky! The song was "(What a) Wonderful World" by Sam Cooke, and I was beyond thrilled!
