Ceremony Harpist, Gaelic Park, Oak Forest


I've been to Gaelic Park several times over the years, but this is the first time I've been in their outdoor space. The pavilion itself is fine, and access is good. Of course it is very nice to have the banquet facility right there for the comfort of your guests and any rain date changes. It is, however, very close to the parking lot. Hopefully as the landscaping matures, that will be less noticeable. The immediate area around the pavilion is lovely, and there's even a cute little bridge for the processional (see below). I look forward to checking back in a few years and seeing how things have matured!


The bridge is so sweet, and gives a nice long approach!

Cocktail and Dinner Harpist, The Penthouse, Chicago

And this is only half the view!

This was another new venue for me, The Penthouse in Hyde Park. The veranda there is absolutely stunning, and I was delighted to be able to set up in the perfect place, without having to worry about an electrical outlet being nearby (thank you battery powered amp)!


Downtown Chicago!

If you're looking for amazing views to dazzle your guests, you really can't do better. Guests happily enjoyed the views, the wonderful late summer warmth, and harp music with their cocktails! 


If you're intending to wow your guests, harp music can definitely be part of that! www.Harp123.com

Reception Harpist, Union Station, Chicago

 

Such an amazing space!

I've played at Union Station before, but this space, The Burlington Room, was new to me. Indeed, it is kind of new on the market, having been recently refurbished in 2016. The concept here was a new one to me: the wedding coordinator planned for an entire dessert buffet to progress around the room with harp as the center unit! I played my Bollywood repertoire, and everyone got something sweet to end their evening - it was lovely!


If you would like to plan a late night snack for your guests, harp can be a wonderful addition! www.ChicagoWeddingHarpist.com
