W Hotel City Center
September 12, 2015

Juliana & Tom planned such a fun wedding day, from start to finish….beginning with the Artistrings string quartet playing a mixture of romantic classical music and the most current pop hits. They recessed to On Top Of The World by Imagine Dragons, and guests enjoyed cocktails on the Plateau.

Dinner was New York style, with dancing between courses. Tom’s dad is a fantastic drummer, and even agreed to sit in with us on a couple of tunes!

Independence Grove
August 1, 2015

It was so amazing to get to know Meredith, Clay, and both of their families as we planned their wedding day. The celebration began at Hope Lutheran Church in Long Grove with the Artistrings Quartet for their ceremony, and then transitioned over to their reception at Independence Grove. Artistrings switched gears to 100% pop string quartet music for dinner entertainment, and then The Chris Sarlas Orchestra took over for dancing. WHAT A PARTY!!!

Check out this special surprise version of Uptown Funk, sung by Meredith and Clay’s friend. An amazing gift to them!

Clay’s mom left us these kind words on Wedding Wire:

The Chris Sarlas Orchestra was the highlight of my son’s wedding reception! Besides the amazing talent that we all enjoyed, they have the timing, and professionalism to create an amazing party. People danced all night! One week after the wedding, we are regularly being asked how we found them (word of mouth) and told how amazing they were. You can’t go wrong with this band! We also used the string quartet for the ceremony and dinner music and they were just as wonderful. They have a huge selection of music to choose form. Chris worked with the Bride & Groom in advance to choose music and discuss everything from the introduction of the wedding party to how to do toasts.

Thank you Tia! We had a blast celebrating with your families!
