We play a lot of Country Clubs. I had my own wedding at a Country Club. But when we walked into the Odyssey Country Club in Tinley Park IL, this was not the usual Country Club. The Odyssey is made for picture perfect weddings.
Ceremonies at the Odyssey Country Club
Odyssey Country Club Wedding Ceremony
I’ve never seen a wedding ceremony venue quite like what the Odyssey offered. The picture perfect landscape made even my iPhone wedding pictures look amazing. The Odyssey wedding ceremony site is located on a peninsula. The small intimate space doesn’t really allow for enormous guest lists, but it does allow for the most beautiful ceremony pictures you can imagine. I’m not typically a fan of outdoor weddings (sun, bugs, wet grass, unknown weather). The Odyssey changed my mind.
A Reception Odyssey
Unsurprisingly, the reception room was equally beautiful. The Odyssey country club is a high end venue with gorgeous decorations and opulent chandeliers (eat your heart out Sia!). The room set up for dinner was beautiful and laid out perfectly for the dueling pianos reception that was to follow dinner. When it comes to wedding entertainment, placement is everything (assuming you hired great entertainment, of course!). A centrally located dance floor where the entertainment has sight lines to all parts of the room is preferred and the Odyssey nailed it. And after a delicious meal Felix and Fingers took the stage and started rocking!

A “Thriller” of a Surprise
Usually brides and grooms hire our dueling pianos show so that they can give their guests something different, something unique and memorable. Felix and Fingers specialize in this, it’s why we perform over a hundred weddings per year. However I have to be honest and say we weren’t the most unique aspect of the night.
Michael Jackson Impersonator
The groom had called me weeks before the wedding asking if we’d be willing to help with his surprise for the bride…a Michael Jackson Impersonator! After working with the groom and “Michael” before the wedding, we were able to DJ MJ’s tracks while he busted into the room mid reception with a dance that won’t be soon forgotten. 20 minutes and countless swoons later, Michael’s phenomenal dance show was over. We’ve seen a lot of cool surprises, but Michael Jackson showing up at your wedding – that’s pretty cool.
