A Magical Holiday Celebration at Glen View Club

Kicking off the holiday season in the most spectacular way is one of our favorite traditions, and it’s always an immense honor to celebrate with Mary & Brian at the beautiful Glen View Club in Golf, IL.

This year’s celebration was nothing short of enchanting. Guests were serenaded by the elegant sounds of the Artistrings string quartet during dinner, setting a warm and festive tone with a selection heavy on holiday classics. The evening took a breathtaking turn when world-class vocalists Rodrick Dixon and Alfreda Burke surprised everyone with stunning performances of “Little Drummer Boy” and “The Prayer”—a truly unforgettable way to begin the festivities.

As the night continued, the celebration shifted into high gear with lively holiday party dancing with a high energy live band, led by our very own Chris Sarlas Orchestra in a beautifully appointed tent designed by Blue Peak. Every detail was flawlessly executed, thanks to the expert planning and coordination of Frank Event Design, ensuring an evening filled with elegance, joy, and seamless transitions from dinner to dance.

This night was extra special as we also celebrated Mary & Brian’s 5th anniversary—a milestone for two of the sweetest people we know. Cheers to another year of love, laughter, and unforgettable holiday memories! 🥂🎶✨

Chicago Wedding Band Helping You Find That Aisle Magic

Your song for walking down the aisle must be magical, am I right? 

The question is, what does magical mean to YOU?  Our Chicago wedding band is all about helping you narrow down the thousands of options for ceremony music songs, and helping you to find “the one.”

It’s time to do some soul-searching. Have you been to a wedding and felt that the music was magical? 

Did you have goosebumps? What was so special about it? Why did it speak to you? 

When the right song happens at the right time, and all of the planets line up, that’s when the magic happens. The trick is to visualize way ahead to your wedding day, and choose that song now. 

Pop? Classical? Rock? Country? R&B? Current? Lots of choices, and some might say too many choices 😉

Maybe you’ve known all along which song you want to walk down the aisle to, or maybe you’re looking for ideas. If you’re in idea mode, here’s one to consider:

Start your day with an instrumental version of this and your guests won’t believe their ears. Coldplay tunes are some of our very favorites, and this one is definitely a winner. Not too fast, and not too slow. It’s just right. 

Have a listen, see if this one is a good fit for you. 

🤗

Chicago Wedding Band String Pop – How Sweet It Is (James Taylor) – Wedding String Quartet

Not only does our Chicago wedding band live for getting all of your guests out there on the dance floor, but we also can’t wait to meet with you to discuss your ceremony music! After choosing a song for walking down the aisle, the next most important tune to think about is the one for walking out after your ceremony has finished. It’s called the recessional, and this is the song that will kick off your first moments of being married, along with the first moments of your reception.

The party! This is the song that will catapult everyone into the party! YES!

Maybe you’ve known all along which song you want to exit to, or maybe you’re looking for ideas. If ideas are your thing, we’ve got one for you today:

Pull out all the stops with an instrumental version of this and your guests will swoon. It’s classic, and it’s fun. Even better, you’ll have a spring in your step and a smile on your face.

And when everyone knows the lyrics? SCORE! 

Have a listen, see if this one is a good fit for you. 

We’re going to keep things short today, in honor of St. Patrick 🍀
