Rochelle & Steven
The Ivy Room

We provided music for this entire celebration, from ceremony in the lush gardens through dancing in the contemporary elegant space. It was such a pleasure to work with Ronsley Special Events, Take the Cake, Calihan Catering, and An Urban Affair. All images courtesy of Rosalind Weddings.

Jeannette was a gorgeous bride…and these photos from Andre LaCour really pop!

The Ballroom at the Renaissance Schaumburg was beautifully decorated, starting with the head table for their large bridal party…

The cake was exceptional

Maggie & Carl
Harry Caray’s at Westin Lombard

From our first conversation with Maggie & Carl, we knew right away it was going to be a fantastic party! This is a couple that is absolutely perfect for one another, and we were so honored to be a part of their first day as husband and wife. We very much enjoyed working with their photographer, Peter Wynn Thompson of Thompson Wedding Photography. In fact, here are just a few highlights of his shots from the day:

Rachel & Nick’s Greek-American Wedding
Hotel InterContinental O’Hare

We had the best time playing both Greek and American music for Rachel & Nick’s wedding at the beautiful and luxurious Hotel InterContinental O’Hare! The exuberantly happy couple was welcomed into the ballroom to cheering and thunderous applause….straight into their bridal dance B.B. King’s If You Love Me.

This was just one of those parties where the guests couldn’t wait to dance. Our Chicago wedding band packed the dance floor set after set, with nearly every guest joining Rachel & Nick on the dance floor!

We are so lucky to have some shots from the fantastic wedding photographer, André LaCour. Here we go!

Our beautiful bride & groom with Tom of Manikas Designs:

When it was time to begin Greek dancing at Rachel & Nick’s Chicago wedding, money was flying through the air, showering the couple with good luck!

And just a few more photos to show off André’s beautiful work…
