Chicago Wedding Band Performed for Alison & Karl’s Wedding at Marriott Lincolnshire Resort

Our Chicago wedding band performed for Alison & Karl’s Wedding at Marriott Lincolnshire Resort, and as you will see from the video clips, it was an amazing celebration! Customizing a package was key for this super sweet couple. Alison’s grandfather was a cellist in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and she had always dreamed of having her wedding party walk down the aisle to the Adagio from Beethoven’s Op. 132 string quartet. The Artistrings string quartet timed this perfectly for their processional, along with a stately arrangement of the Promenade from Pictures at an Exhibition for Alison’s grand entrance.

Dancing to the Carol Sarlas Orchestra followed in the Grand Marquis tent. Kudos to the Marriott, as we were toasty warm on the coldest day of the year!

Our Chicago wedding band performed for Louise & Chris’ wedding at Indian Hill Club, and it was an epic dance party for all.

Louise & Chris wanted to make sure that the music never stopped during their dance party, so we happily played continuously after dinner. Here’s some late night party action with one of our favorite 90s tunes:

Our Chicago wedding band performed for Jenna & Adam’s wedding at Oak Brook Hills Resort, and our video clips tell the story. From Artistrings for their ceremony music, through Carol’s 11 piece band for dancing, this crowd went nonstop all night long, and only took a short break to go outside for the spectacular fireworks display. Nicole Zenner from LK Events brought everything together seamlessly, and made it look effortless 🙂

Annie & Mike’s wedding was an amazing summer night in Wilmette, with flawless coordination by Loreen and her team from Clementine Custom Events. From cocktails on the Crabapple Patio, to dinner in the tent, and dancing inside the club, these party-goers were there to celebrate the union of a bride from Milwaukee and a groom from Connecticut. From classic rock to current hits and country too, we played it all, and ended the night with their favorite tune, Van Morrison’s Caravan. With the dance floor chanting for an encore, we brought out one more tune that ended the night perfectly. Your Song circled everyone around Annie & Mike, and ended spontaneously in the best group hug we’ve ever seen.

Congratulations, guys. What a party!!

This bride & groom had two wishes when we sat down and chatted about their wedding day: great champagne, and to have everyone up and dancing the whole night.

Well, the champagne was flowing, and check out this dance floor! Win-win. From the first dance set before we began dinner through the last dance of the night, we all had a blast celebrating New York Style with this fun couple. All of our best wishes to Alexandra & Ryan for a long life together of good health, happiness and success!

Thanks for the kind words and the five-star review on Wedding Wire, Alexandra!

After much deliberation we choose Carol Sarlas’ band. We wanted a band that would keep people on the dance floor all night and they did just that! Carol and Chris were very personal and professional during the planning process. I would not hesitate to use them again!
