Brianna & Tony decided to bring us up to Madison for their wedding, because they heard us at a friend’s wedding last year. What an amazing party! This was our first event at the Overture Center, and wow, is this ever a cool venue. Light, airy, sleek, and modern. LOVE.
We had just about the best experience with Sarlas Music Inc. that I could have possibly imagined! I have always felt you can tell how fun a party is by how much dancing there is and with this bands help our wedding just might have been the best party ever. Our guests spent the ENTIRE evening absolutely tearing it up on the dance floor and I can’t even count how many people told us they thought it was the best band they had ever heard at a wedding. Chris was wonderful to work with, he made us feel so comfortable and the process was fun and easy. I absolutely, without a doubt, 100% recommend Sarlas Music, Inc.!
Many thanks to Agnes for leaving this review for us on Yelp!
It’s only been a month since our wedding, but we have gotten MANY comments about the Chris Sarlas Orchestra at our May 2013 wedding. Comments such as “WOW, that was the best band I’ve ever heard at a wedding” keep coming! I fully agree.
People were even dancing before our first dance because the music was so good! Our dance floor was packed until the very last song. I would highly recommend Chris Sarlas. The band even wore our wedding sunglasses we gave out as favors without us asking, which was a nice little touch!
The package rate was VERY reasonable and Chris was always accommodating with meeting my husband and I. Chris is the perfect MC. I am so grateful our guests had a wonderful time and a lot of that is due to Chris Sarlas and his band!!

Pam and Kevin meticulously planned their ceremony and reception at the Hilton Rosemont — truly great music fans, they had many diverse requests! One of the many highlights included a custom arrangement of Beyonce’s “Halo” prepared and performed by Artistrings. First dance was our performance of Dave Matthews Band’s “You and Me” — dancing between courses of dinner service, the hora looked like a ridiculously busy scene from a movie, and comfy flip flops were worn by many! Pam’s Sister and Maid of Honor, left this great 5-star review of the evening on Yelp — many thanks Debbie!
“I am still recovering from one of the best nights of my life thanks to the Chris Sarlas Orchestra. This past weekend was my sister’s wedding and Yelp doesn’t give me the option to add more stars to this phenomenal band and orchestra. If you are looking for top quality musicians, this is where you should turn to in the Chicagoland area. Chris and Carol are an absolute pleasure to work with. Whatever requests my sister and her husband had, big or small, Chris and Carol were able to meet that request. I have never seen so many people dancing at any event. I wish I could watch all of the musicians perform every weekend because the show was spectacular! Thank you for making their wedding the success that it truly was. You are the talk of the town!”
First song of dancing between courses with a reduced band. Note that it didn’t result in reduced dancing…SING DAYNA!!
We just had the BEST time playing in the backing orchestra for Celtic Woman at North Central College in Naperville. The string section in the orchestra was provided by Artistrings. So much fun to perform with these talented ladies!
We got as many of us in the frame as we could! Artistrings string section for Celtic Woman show. Following directionsElizabeth, Carol, & Ray, with one of our celebrities 🙂 Mairead Nesbitt tearing it up in rehearsalThe two shortest violinists in the building today 😂
