Bollywood Dinner Music Harpist, The Old Post Office, Chicago
The Old Post Office is a large space, so the couple used harp music to warm it up and welcome their guests! I started out facing this way, so I could greet guests as they made their way into the main seating area. You can see the mandap if you peek behind the curtains!!
Then I turned around so I could welcome them back in after introductions, when they were enjoying the buffet dinner and dessert! Once again, I was working with and for the wonderful DJ Kazi, so the sound would be equal to the large event!

Vow Renewal Harpist, Bolingbrook Golf Club, Bolingbrook
The patio at the Bolingbrook Golf Club is really the loveliest! The club does a great job of having staff available for whatever is needed, and you are mere steps from anything you might wish for. Afterwards, I saw their porch out back - it's a total wow! Vow Renewals can be a different sort of a thing, as the couple is actively living their married life while still planning for the ceremony. Frequently, I have found that the music gets added in a little later than for first time vows, but that's no problem! I have a large repertoire of things you can pick from, even when your big day is just around the corner!
Bollywood Dinner Music Harpist, Shalimar Banquets, Addison
I had never seen Shalimar Banquets completely opened up before, and it was lovely! I was there to provide Bollywood favorites mixed in with some western pop songs, and it worked out beautifully! I was supported by the wonderful DJ Kazi, who made sure the harp sound was able to be heard in such a large space!

Wedding Ceremony Harpist, Morton Arboretum, Lisle
This was a new location for me at the lovely Morton Arboretum. We were behind the Thornhill Education Center, and off in a little grove of trees - perfection! The bride was concerned about the long walk from the center, not wanting the music to be repeated before she actually arrived at the aisle, so we hopped on a phone call and worked out a plan. Phone consultations, where I play for you over the phone, are always a great option if there are questions or concerns!

Ceremony Harpist, Georgios Banquets, Orland Park
I haven't been to Georgios in years, and I don't think I've ever seen this particular room. The clients had decorated so beautifully, and they had definite ideas of what they wanted - which I always love! I played the normal prelude music that I would provide, but I was not needed for the processional, which is unusual. But. The bride wanted me to play underneath the entire wedding ceremony, which I was happy to do! She particularly wanted Ruelle's "I Get to Love You", and I learned "Overjoyed" by Stevie Wonder, because I thought it would be lovely, and it really was!!

Ceremony and Reception Harpist, Jen's Guesthouse, Willowbrook
Jen's Guesthouse used to be a fine dining establishment called Courtwright's. What remain's the same? The absolutely gorgeous back patio area! It backs up directly to forest preserve, and it is a delightful space. This gorgeous wedding took advantage of the patio for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and then everyone headed inside for a wonderful buffet lunch. It was absolute perfection!
