Giana is crushing this Charlie Brown classic tune, which is quite possibly our favorite holiday song, often included when we entertain at Chicago holiday events.

Kicking off the holiday season with our Chicago event band 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.

As the night continued, the celebration shifted into high gear with lively holiday party dancing, 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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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 🍀

Chicago Wedding Band String Pop – Imperial March from Star Wars – String Quartet

Leave a comment

The Imperial March from Star Wars string quartet, performed live by Artistrings, a modern string quartet in Chicago that specializes in pop and rock music. This is one of our favorite Star Wars string covers for our Chicago wedding band musicians, with a string quartet arrangement written by our talented violist, Benton Wedge! If you’re a fan of Star Wars and you want to make a statement walking down the aisle, consider this. We actually wrote this one for a little ring bearer who walked down the aisle in his Darth Vader mask and cape and could not have been more excited about his contribution to the big day. Love it!

Wellerman Sea Shanty One Hour String Cover

Leave a comment

Hey all!

So, we’re back this week with a one-hour version of Wellerman sea shanty for string quartet. This TikTok tok sea shanty craze started by Nathan Evans has been a whole lot of fun, and the Artistrings players from our Chicago wedding band made this long version video for those who want to join us and play (or sing) along. Two violins, viola, cello, and bass is the instrumentation for this all string version of Wellerman. Grab some tea, come in from the snow and join us. The fire is on and it’s cozy in here!
