When Elaine and Brian began preparing for their Chicago wedding, they told us that were juggling American and Greek traditions, while wanting to stay true to their vision as a couple. We were so happy to work with them, along with both of their families, as this is our specialty 🙂

The choice of the Blackstone Hotel was the perfect size for celebrating their merger with about 100 friends and family in attendance. They were going for an elegant winter black tie affair, and nailed it!

After dinner service, our Chicago wedding band fused the gap with their American and Greek music traditions – performing everything live!

Special dances began with Dream A Little Dream Of Me/Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong for their first dance together. Then two more special dances: Elaine and her dad danced to God Only Knows/The Beach Boys, followed by Molly Pasutti’s The Man You’ve Become for Brian and his mom. After that, everyone got to their feet and joined them on the dance floor to kick the party into overdrive!

We loved that their requests included something for everyone: Stevie Wonder, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Tina Turner, Pitbull, Frank Sinatra and Whitney Houston, to name a few. This was a serious dance party! Traditional Greek music got everyone up and dancing around this historic downtown Chicago ballroom.

Elaine and Brian crafted a simply incredible night! All our congratulations, and our most gracious thanks for this terrific Wedding Wire review:

“There are not enough nice things I can say about Chris and his band. Chris and his wife were super involved with our wedding from the start. They truly cared about making sure our wedding was a party and that the dance floor was always full. The band was awesome!! The dance floor was packed all night! I would highly recommend Chris and his band!”
