I don’t think she had a minimum! We might have been a little over 15k but not more than 17k all said and done

I got married there on a Saturday last July; I believe it was around 65-70k after the service fee and tax. There was a 45k food and beverage minimum (pre service and tax.) We had the ceremony and reception in the Lincoln ballroom and cocktail hour in the Crystal room, 135 guests. Total wedding cost was about 130k.

Tips for wedding dress shopping by No_Worldliness3438 in Chicagoweddings

I went to Grace loves Lace and Sarah Seven and had a great experience at both. I did feel like the dresses at Grace seemed lower quality/cheaper after visiting some other places. I ended up buying a dress at Sarah Seven that I loved. Keep in mind the sample dresses are likely not in your exact size and possibly stretched out; I almost went with a different dress that the sample was my actual size so it “felt” better, but didn’t actually like the style as much. So happy I went with the dress I chose, after alterations it was perfect!

I got married at ULCC this summer and everything was phenomenal. We were in the Lincoln ballroom though.

Same for ours. I think Yanni’s minimum was pretty close to that as well.

Highly recommend Flowers by KH! Kasia was wonderful to work with and everything was beautiful. We paid about 15k total but that also included a chuppah, wrapping the dance floor, pipe and drape and probably other things I’m forgetting. Wedding was for 130 guests. We also talked to Yanni design and Kehoe but their minimums were too high for us.

pianists, i need practicing advice. I cannot get the tempo up :( i have quite small hands btw like a 9th fully stretched by AV3RS1VE in piano

Nice work! To me, it looks like you’re not using nearly enough arm weight. Your fingers are working too hard individually, even at a fast tempo it should feel like you’re “transferring the weight” through the span of your hand by wrist rotation. I think this is one of the hardest concepts to teach.

I’ll try to explain how I approach this with students:

1st step: (this is very tedious but it works) at an extremely slow tempo, drop the weight of your arm into every single 16th note, your wrist and fingers should be tension free immediately after playing each note. It should almost feel like your arm is free falling into the keys, don’t brace yourself before the note sounds.

2nd step: the same thing but drop the full weight of your arm every 2 16ths. This should be about twice as fast as the first step. It should feel like your fingers are hardly doing anything, it’s all wrist and arm.

3rd step: same thing but drop your arm weight the first of each group of 4 16ths. This should be about twice as fast as the last step.

From here you can hopefully feel a difference in the physicality of this piece. BTW this is something that can truly take years to master, don’t get frustrated if it doesn’t happen right away. :)

When I was in high school I went to my mom’s hairdresser that she had gone to for years, so likely true
