Proposal Harpist, The Joinery, Chicago

This is only some of the set-up!

 I always like to protect the privacy of my clients, so it can be hard to share much from a proposal, especially this time. The prospective groom planning the proposal is a magician, so the set up was very cool, but also seemed proprietary, so here we are. I can tell you that:

1. The Joinery is a fantastic place for a proposal. We were able to complete a fairly complicated set up very smoothly, and the venue manager there, Shay, is really just the best.

2. This was the first time I did a proposal where the groom was already at the site, and had concocted a story to bring the prospective bride to the site on her own. She was definitely and delightfully surprised!

3. She said YES!!

Planning a proposal? I am in!!

Wedding Proposal Harpist, Private Home, Burr Ridge

So the groom put some effort in. It was lovely!

Okay, so "private home" is probably not quite right. You should definitely look up 6501S. County Line Road, Burr Ridge, because it has a pretty interesting history; part grand mansion, part real estate over-reach. At this writing, it is available to rent for events, and that's where I came in. The very sweet prospective groom was planning a wonderful evening around his proposal, and he knew the bride had seen and enjoyed my YouTube channel. Some quick thinking on his part resulting in my arrangement of a new favorite of her's (Somewhere Only We Know), and we had ourselves a plan!

Pretty hard to get the scope of this place in a camera phone shot!

The repertoire page on my website is a great place to start any plan! www.ChicagoWeddingHarpist.com

Proposal Dinner Harpist, The Signature Room, Chicago

The view is mesmerizing!

The Signature Room is in the John Hancock Center 875 North Michigan Avenue building. It is a well known building in Chicago, and the view from the top floors is stunning. The restaurant has a lot of experience making people's romantic moments shine, so I was thrilled when they called me to provide the musical background for a proposal dinner. As you'll see in the photos, the view is the thing, so it can be hard to capture the mood with a camera. The space where they host these dinners is ideal, because there is enough room to allow some privacy for the couple. The prospective groom chose exactly the music he wanted for the actual proposal from my repertoire list, and the staff kept me informed about when the exact moment was approaching. Everything went as expected, and she said yes!

So romantic for the couple!

Not the greatest picture, but you can get an idea of the space.
