| Set up #1 on the bluestone patio! |
Well, thanks to the weather, this wedding turned out to be kind of an odyssey! On the bright side, I did see all of the Garfield Park Conservatory wedding sites on a single visit!!

| Lovely, but no shelter whatsoever. |
I began the afternoon on the patio, as you see here. Then the storm clouds rolled in, the staff came and got me, and we traversed the entire conservatory to get to their indoor site, which is also lovely. Approximately twenty seconds after we got the harp under shelter, the heavens opened up and poured buckets and buckets of water for about 45 minutes! We, however, were comfortable, and dry, and all set for a lovely wedding.

The bride's wedding song picks were really fun, and added to the playful spirit of the wedding. The couple actually processed to the theme from the Pixar movie "Up", which is titled "Married Life". I have a wonderful, upbeat version of the song, and it was perfect. She mixed it with some traditional classical wedding selections, and had an eclectic mix of prelude music from Gershwin, Stevie Wonder, and the Beatles!

My favorite sites continue to be the ones that work in any weather conditions, and Garfield Park Conservatory definitely fits that bill. Stay flexible, have a beautiful wedding no matter what, right?
