The University Club of Chicago
Kate & John

From ceremony through the last dance, we were honored to provide all of the music for Kate & John’s spectacular celebration at the University Club of Chicago in Cathedral Hall. Always a pleasure to work with Lauren Knuepfer and her team from LK Events too!

So many thanks to the bride & groom for this wonderful 5 star review on yelp:

“My wife and I discovered Chris and his orchestra for our wedding last fall, as a recommendation by our planner. And all we can say is that if you are planning yours, book Chris NOW. First off, working with Chris was the best you can hope for. Song selection, planning, special requests/details, coordinating the night itself, Chris could not have been easier to work with. And as far as the band itself, the talent is incredible. Absolutely huge repertoire of music, every genre you could want, all sounding great and performed with tons of great energy. And the vocalists were absolutely amazing. Chris had literally our entire reception of 200+ people on the dance floor having a blast the whole night. These guys were awesome.”

We live for spontaneous moments like these!

Doubletree Esplanade Lakes

It was an honor to be chosen to provide the music for Ashley & Johnny’s wedding celebration. Beginning with a full choir for their ceremony, it was obvious that music was very important to this couple. We greeted their guests at Esplanade Lakes with strolling violins, saxophone and piano. What a celebration!!!

You’ve got to LOVE this fun & colorful space for a wedding! So many people say “I’ve seen it hundreds of times driving down the Kennedy, but I’ve never been inside.” Take a peek. This place is awesome. It was also a pleasure to work with Melissa Phillips from Simply Perfect By Melissa. Artistrings String Quartet gave our debut performance of Sufjan Stevens Chicago. Catchy little tune…I think we might even put it in the book!
