Ceremony Harpist, St. Sophia, Des Plaines

It was such a pleasure to play at St Sophia; the Church is highly ornate, and just a joy to behold! With all of the hard surfaces, the harp sounded fantastic, too. The bride actually fell in love with one of the Bollywood tunes on my YouTube channel (Kal Ho Naa Ho), so her processional was truly a multicultural event!💖

Anniversary Harpist, Cafe La Cave, Des Plaines

 

I do love any sort of an anniversary, and the room at Cafe La Cave was all ready for the celebration! Like at most events, I take a look at the general ages of the guests, and choose music to suit. My two favorite comments to hear are "You played our favorite song" and "I didn't know you could play that on harp"! I feel like I have two simultaneous jobs: to relax everyone, and to surprise them! All my clients can have two special requests outside of my normal repertoire, so there are tons of possibilities! Feel free to reach out if you have questions!

Cafe La Cave, Des Plaines Wedding Ceremony Harpist

Note the elegant stairway you can use to make your entrance!

I hadn't been to Cafe La Cave in quite a few years, so it was nice to have a chance to play there again and come out with such a positive impression.  This place is super close to the airport, so I had some fears about noise, which turned out to be completely unnecessary!  I don't know what kind of sound proofing they have done, but I was unaware of any noise what so ever!!  The room itself seems to have been recently renovated, and is bright and pleasant.  It looks like it serves as a private lobby to the banquet facility, but it also worked beautifully as a ceremony location!

Easily the best thing about the facility, though, is Randy.  This guy really knows how to run a wedding.  He kept me informed, gave great cues so that I could change music when necessary, and did it all looking super dapper in his tux!  I should probably admit that one of my pet peeves is support staff that look distractingly casual.  It was nice to see someone who fit in with the elegant wedding party, no problem.

The light just streams into this pleasant space!

There was even a little alcove so I could be out of the way but still easily heard!  

If you are looking for a surprisingly elegant venue near the airport, this is absolutely worth a trip.
