Ceremony Harpist, The Odyssey Venue, Tinley Park

The gorgeous west Gazebo

I always enjoy being at The Odyssey, and the west gazebo works much better for live musicians than the east gazebo. It is easy to stay away from the water spray, the tree provides the necessary shade, and I've never seen goose droppings over on this side (which sounds like a small issue, but really isn't when you're trying to position an instrument in the grass!).

This bride wanted music under her vows, and used one of her special requests on "Dangerously in Love" by Beyonce. It turned out so well that I am playing it fairly regularly for wedding prelude and parties in general. I always love it when my clients point me in some interesting musical direction!
This tree has shaded many a wedding, and probably
many a harpist over the years!!
