An Unforgettable Wedding Ceremony at Adler Planetarium with Live Keys & Violin Duo
There’s something truly magical about outdoor weddings in Chicago—especially with the city skyline as your backdrop. At a recent ceremony held at the iconic Adler Planetarium, Elegant Music Group had the honor of providing a live keys and violin duo that elevated the moment with timeless elegance.
A Picture-Perfect Setting in the Heart of Chicago
Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, Adler Planetarium is one of the most scenic wedding venues in the Chicagoland area. With panoramic views of the city skyline, it creates a natural stage that calls for equally beautiful music.
For this wedding, the couple chose a violin and keyboard pairing—a live music combination that’s both romantic and versatile. Set against the skyline and lake, the music helped create an atmosphere that was heartfelt, cinematic, and deeply personal.
Why a Keys & Violin Duo Works So Well for Ceremonies
This pairing blends classical tradition with modern flexibility. Here’s why it’s a top choice for outdoor weddings:
- Emotional depth: Violin brings expressive warmth to any song—whether classical, modern, or somewhere in between.
- Musical range: Keys can replicate piano, strings, or even soft organ sounds, making it easy to customize.
- Compact setup: Perfect for outdoor spaces where space and logistics are limited.
- Custom repertoire: From Bach to John Legend, the duo can play virtually anything.
At this Adler Planetarium ceremony, the couple walked down the aisle to a custom arrangement of “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” followed by an upbeat recessional of “You Are the Best Thing.” Both songs were performed live and timed perfectly with the ceremony procession.
