Ceremony Harpist, Thompson Hotel, Chicago

The room is quite narrow, and probably best for one
person down the aisle at a time!

The Thompson Chicago has a number of really lovely smaller spaces, and they can be configured in a variety of ways. What you see here is the combined Chelsea and Factory private dining spaces. It is a slightly smaller footprint than the 3rd floor space, and a completely different decor, so... options!

This was a rescheduled pandemic wedding, and we all know some of the pressures that can come with that! The bride chose "Moon River" for her wedding party, and Canon in D for her entrance. It seemed like the perfect combination of tradition and wistful optimism for a new beginning in these strange times.

Wedding Ceremony Harpist, Thompson Hotel, Chicago

I thought my harp looked particularly good in this setting!

 I was not familiar with the Thompson Hotel on Chicago's north side, but I really thought they did a nice job on this medium sized wedding. The room was especially lovely, with floor to ceiling windows, and lots of nice design touches (like fabulous chandeliers!). 

A close up of where the couple stood, and you can see
the candles on the window sill a little better, too.

The facilities really matched the bridal couple's music choices, too. They went with very romantic, era spanning popular choices. The wedding party came down to "Flightless Bird," and the bride entered to "Moon River." Afterwards, they walked out to "Here Comes the Sun" and I continued postlude with the "Game of Thrones Theme" (as the groom wrote, "a few times, maybe?"). The Game of Thrones theme has been the breakout wedding hit of 2017, I would say, and no one is more surprised than me!

The windows continue the length of the room.

If you are planning your own vision of a throughly modern ceremony, I know I can help!
