My claim to fame for private parties was the Liriodendron Mansion in Bel Air, Maryland. This has been a popular location for political fund raisers, which I performed for dozens each election year. The mansion is absolutely incredible, situated on a very large parcel of land, and was the home of the first OB/GYN physician at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Back when I was still doing weddings, I did a half dozen performances at this location for them as well. [img] http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/dvGVxG7akzI/maxresdefault.jpg[/img Gary

http://www.countrylife.co.uk/property/lo...e-of-polo-17626Many years ago we played a huge do here, Hurlingham House, right in the thick of London, though you'd never guess it. It was a royal occasion of some sort with an ox roast, mediaeval jousting, five bands from a string quartet, to a jazz trio, ourselves (a pop/rock band), an 18-piece dance band, and a solo classical pianist - no, not all in the same room . Prince Charles, Princess Anne, both twenty somethings at the time, plus a few other assorted dukes and duchesses were milling about among what we guesstimated to be over 1,000 guests. It was hard to tell between the crowds in the grounds and in the house itself. I can't say I've ever played as posh a do, before or since.
