Wedding Ceremony Harpist, Swissotel, Chicago

The room has a contemporary feel, and of course
great views!

We were in the 42nd floor banquet space they call Eleve at the Swissotel. It's a good space for a small or medium sized wedding, especially if you want to have different areas for different parts of your wedding, as it very naturally splits into 3 areas. The views are terrific, especially of Navy Pier. I think this is a hotel that even many native Chicagoans are less familiar with, as it is situated at the very end of Wacker Drive. The bride chose the two most traditional wedding songs (Here Comes the Bride and The Wedding March by Mendelssohn), and then joined them with Lionel Ritchie's "Endless Love" and Bruno Mars' "Marry You". I thought it was great fun!

Wedding Ceremony Harpist, St. Lambert, Skokie

The beautiful St. Lambert's

So there's this sweet thing that some of my brides do, which is request that I play a song that was special to one or both of their parents. In this case, it was "Three Coins in a Fountain", and it was for the bride's mom. It was a really lovely touch, and I definitely want to encourage more of you to think about doing it!
