| The beautiful view from the seating area on the East side of Cantigny. |
The Cantigny complex is large and varied. There are a number of public gardens, picnic groves, a visitor's center, and a historic mansion. I believe they do weddings in several locations, but I have only ever been on the East side of the mansion. There, you will find terraced lawns that work their way down to reflecting pools and one of the loveliest views around. This location has the added distinction of keeping all of your guests in the shade, as long as your wedding begins after about 5 pm!
The bride and groom on this day wanted the lovely "Flower Duet" song from the opera "Lakme" for the wedding party, then it was "Bridal Chorus", more commonly known as "Here comes the Bride"! I was able to include "Bianco Fiore" (as the recessional) to honor some guests who were Italian, and "Evening of Roses" (in the prelude) for some who were Jewish. Everything was a beautiful reflection of the bridal couple!
