jazz steel player in Chicago area?

Posted this also in Bar Chatter. I'm interested in either non pedal or pedals...or reso player!:

Getting married next year. I couldn't persuade my fiance to go with a band for the reception (apparently I haven't taught her anything), but we did arrive at an acceptable compromise. She gets a DJ for party time, I get a jazz combo for cocktail hour & dinner. I was thinking of a 3-piece, piano-bass-drums, but I was also thinking a jazz steel player would be a treat (for me, anyway), either in addition to the others, or in place of the piano. Just to do some standards for a couple hours.

Anyone around the Chicago area doing this sort of thing?
