Bridal Shower Harpist, Gibson's Italia, Chicago

Looking east toward the Reid Murdoch Building

This is the second time I've been to Gibson's Italia, and I still found it wildly impressive! Honestly, It is difficult to get a picture that takes in the entirety of the venue.... the incredible vista, the balcony, the glass ceiling, just all of it! We were here on this day, to celebrate the bride to be, so I played love songs, and wedding favorites, and everyone had a great time dreaming about the big day to come!

Wedding Ceremony and Reception Harpist, Gibson's Italia, Chicago



As you can see, the roof deck at Gibson's Italia is pretty spectacular. It is one of those spaces that is hard to capture in a photo; the roof is glass and retractable. You are literally surrounded by the river view, and it is stunning. The couple had planned a beautiful afternoon with their nearest and dearest that would also include their wedding vows! Live music can be such a wonderful way to set a mood in these circumstances. I move easily from soothing music while folks are setting up, to upbeat music to greet the arriving guests. As everyone relaxed and took in the view, I was able to incorporate the Bollywood selections the bride had requested, which kept everyone surprised and amused. When the couple was ready, just a few bars of Canon in D signaled that the ceremony was starting. It is such a joy to be able to be responsive to what is going on around me, and know that I am helping the flow of the event.
