Wedding Ceremony Harpist, Madonna Della Strada Chapel, Loyola University, Chicago

I frequently lament that, for a city with so much lakefront, lakefront weddings in Chicago are hard to come by. This amazing chapel on the campus of Loyola University is a location that was unknown to me until this spring! While you are actually indoors for your ceremony, there is a lovely terrace just outside the church that brings the lake front and center for guests, and provides a fantastic backdrop for pictures. The staff at the chapel are so helpful, and everything ran just as smoothly as you could ever expect!

If you need a harpist who is familiar with the Catholic liturgy, I would be delighted to play for you! www.ChicagoWeddingHarpist.com

Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail Harpist, The Langham, Chicago

I am an absolute pushover for rooms that are one of a kind, and The Langham certainly delivers big on that score! The views in this room (Melbourne) reveal in stages: a gorgeous corner panorama, followed by a unique view down the river corridor.

Set as it is at the corner of the building, guests were able to spill out into the hallway for the cocktail hour, and the room functioned as much bigger than its floor plan. If you're looking for a signature room for your small ceremony, you really couldn't do better!

If you need seamless ceremony and cocktail music, I would be delighted to help! www.ChicagoWeddingHarpist.com
