Chicago, Illinois
Expenses covered
No, the talent is responsible for all
Age range of audience
All ages
Performance location
Outdoor (with cover)
Song requests
No specific songs, just something fun and appropriate for walking down the isle and walking back after! I don't know about a song during the ceremony. I am trying to keep it short and sweet!
Additional details
The wedding will take place at the Lincoln Park Nature Boardwalk Pavilion, south of the zoo and east of the farm in the zoo. It is outdoors and is covered. I don't know for sure if there is electricity but I can find out.
Setup information
The wedding starts at 11 so I would guess 10:55? Unless (in your experience) it is earlier?

We loved 'Ask Your Folks' for our wedding ceremony. They are very talented and great to work with. Highly recommend!
