From Nick:
If you want the BEST time at your wedding, you need to choose The Chris Sarlas Orchestra to play at your wedding.
We had a Greek-Irish wedding and Chris Sarlas was able to accomodate both of our families. His attention to detail and professionalism was not comparable to the rest of the vendors we had for our wedding. He truly is a great and talented person, surrounding himself with great talent. I had so many guests tell me how much they loved the band.
…and from Meghan. Many thanks guys!
We had a great time; the dance floor was packed the entire night!!! Chris is very flexible and offers a lot of valuable insight regarding time and he made sure to balance the music into three different sets: Greek, American, and Irish. He has a lot of prior experience. I received so many compliments about our band and many people said it was the best band they had heard in a long time. Overall, I thought the night was perfect!!!! There are three things people remember when they go to weddings: food, alcohol, and entertainment. We were fortunate enough to success in all three areas. I HIGHLY recommend Chris and his band, you will NOT be disappointed.

We had a blast playing for Agnes & Kyle’s wedding at the Sofitel Chicago. Flawless planning by Misha from Liven It Up Events. Amazing photography by Le Cape Weddings.
Many thanks to Agnes for leaving this review for us on Yelp!
It’s only been a month since our wedding, but we have gotten MANY comments about the Chris Sarlas Orchestra at our May 2013 wedding. Comments such as “WOW, that was the best band I’ve ever heard at a wedding” keep coming! I fully agree.
People were even dancing before our first dance because the music was so good! Our dance floor was packed until the very last song. I would highly recommend Chris Sarlas. The band even wore our wedding sunglasses we gave out as favors without us asking, which was a nice little touch!
The package rate was VERY reasonable and Chris was always accommodating with meeting my husband and I. Chris is the perfect MC. I am so grateful our guests had a wonderful time and a lot of that is due to Chris Sarlas and his band!!

Absolutely top notch! We used them for our wedding in April and could not have been more pleased. Super easy to work with- Chris knows all the questions to ask and really helped this clueless bride plan out the reception. He understood exactly the vibe we were going for (more party, less traditional) and 100% delivered. Thanks to Chris, everything ran so smoothly during the reception. The musicians were amazing and kept our dance floor PACKED the entire night. At the end of the night, our guests were chanting, “One more song!” which very aptly sums it up!
