Stacey & Simeon’s wedding was pure joy — for everyone involved. We’re still smiling 🙂

Artistrings pop string quartet entertained during cocktail hour with the newest tunes from Imagine Dragons, Katy Perry, Coldplay and Lorde. We opened the ballroom for dinner to the impact of the full band, and check out what happened:

Stacey’s mom sent this a few weeks after the wedding:

Hi Chris & Carol,
What can I say! The most wonderful music we had at our daughter’s wedding!!!! People are still talking about you both and all your members! What a joy!

Congratulations to all!!

We had a blast working with Daphne & Brett on their beautiful wedding in the Michigan Room at the University Club. Artistrings String Quartet set the mood with all of their favorite pop tunes at Wrigley Square in Millennium Park for the ceremony, and Daphne made her entrance to Jack Johnson’s Better Together. A perfect choice!

If you’re wondering what a dance party feels like with about 100 guests, check out this video clip. We absolutely love it!

Omni Severin Hotel, Indianapolis

Road trip!! Playing for an amazing family is always an amazing experience, and this was certainly no exception. From their beautiful ceremony at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Carmel, IN through the very last dance of their reception at the Omni Severin, this was a celebration to remember.

Gorgeous dinner space

And then we started dancing in the adjacent room. This first clip deserves to stand on its own. Check out grandma (age 94!) dancing with her grandson/brother of the groom. LOVE.

Pritzker Pavilion, Millennium Park

One of the most stunning venues in the city — most people don’t get the privilege of seeing Millennium Park from the stage of Pritzker, so this was a special treat. Fantastic!

Artistrings set an elegant, classical mood for the gorgeous ceremony, with music by Puccini, Bach, Debussy, and Lakme.

We transitioned to the cocktail hour with strolling violins and jazz standards. Once dancing started, Annali, Mark, and their guests dance ALL night long. Such a pleasure to work together with Linda from Liven It Up Events!

Thank you Annali for this 5-star review on Yelp!

The number one comment from guests about our reception….”OMG, where did you find that band! They were incredbile!!” I think that says it all! Chris was great to work with and very accommodating. He really wanted to ensure the music reflected our style. Everyone was on the dance floor from the first song to the very end. Chris really knows how to engage the crowd.
