We recently got to add our signature Felix and Fingers flair to a beautiful Cork & Tap wedding! We had heard great things about Cork & Tap Wine and Tap House and we were not let down! The drinks were fantastic and the wedding and event venues upstairs were perfect!
Beautiful Cork & Tap Wedding
The Cork & Tap is a really cool space. The downstairs bar looked like it would be a great place to grab a drink. The wedding was on the third floor in the “Milliner’s Room.” They had several huge windows that overlooked downtown Oregon, Illinois. The whole building had fun rustic touches like hardwood floors, exposed joists, and original lath walls. All the food was catered by local restaurants–like around the corner local–and it all tasted amazing! If you’re looking for a unique, historic place for your wedding or special event, talk to Cork & Tap right here.
This wedding was a bit outside of our wheelhouse, but was awesome nonetheless. We’re usually hired to play music for the entire night, but this time we were only playing for the first half. After that we handed it over to a DJ for some after dinner dancing. The DJ was very professional and easy to work with. It’s always fun to have another musician in the audience! We were responsible for the music as guests arrived, during the ceremony itself, and during the cocktail hour and dinner time. It was really fun to work with the couple to come up with some piano music to play during the prelude and the ceremony. Their foundation was really helpful and the resulting playlist fit perfectly.
Never Sing Piano Man on an Empty Stomach
The couple specifically asked that the cocktail hour to be more lively–and we were more than happy to oblige! As folks sampled the tasty drinks, we were taking requests. For instance, we had some great ones like Best Day of My Life by the American Authors, Don’t Stop Believin’ by Escape, and The Distance by Cake. The most unforgettable moment for us was easily the special request from the bride and groom. An end of dinner sing along to Billy Joel’s Piano Man!
