Union Station
Courtyard
This venue is sort of “hidden away” at Union Station. In fact, it’s so hidden that I couldn’t find any pics on google so had to go with my own shot from over the keyboard, which unfortunately isn’t that great! This was a very smart couple that had a great sense of humor.
They transitioned from the prelude music to the Ceremony by having me play the theme to the Office, as if to say “Let’s get to work” (perhaps a smart comment on the domestic day to day nature of marriage). However, they let us know that they weren’t expecting a merely ordinary life by having their parents walk out to “Hedwig’s Theme” and following it up with Beauty and the Beast.
