cocktail hour

Heritage Prairie Farm

There is no better reason to leave Chicago than to drink some bubbly, play some twang and nosh on the local goodness provided by Heritage Prairie Farm. Not only is Heritage Prairie the perfect place to forget Chicago’s hustle and bustle, but its top notch service paired with rustic charm equals a swoon worthy wedding location.

Gussied was thrilled to provide music for the event. Cocktail hour began with a quiet fiddle and guitar duet, followed by several  jazz standards and folk renditions of  songs like “I’m a Believer”, “Do Right Woman” and concluded with detectable murmurs of guests singing along.

Following cocktails, we were graciously invited to the table for a vegetable feast, which was an absolute treat.

Gussied closed out the evening after sunset, bidding guests adieu to our version of “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk.
