We’re incredibly honored to share that both Sarlas Music — Chicago’s home for high-energy wedding bands, jazz ensembles, and live event music — and Artistrings — a modern string ensemble collective — have once again been recognized with the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards, for the 14th + 15th year.
What makes this recognition so meaningful is where it comes from.
The Couples’ Choice Awards are based entirely on reviews from the people who matter most — our clients. The couples, families, and event hosts who trusted us with their live wedding music in Chicago and took the time to share their experience afterward.
Every packed dance floor. Every ceremony moment. Every transition that felt just right.
That’s what these awards represent.
Over the past 25+ years, we’ve had the privilege of performing at more than 2,000 weddings and events across Chicago and the Midwest — from elegant ceremonies with our string quartet in Chicago to high-energy receptions with our full Chicago wedding band.
And through all of it, our focus has stayed the same:
Create something personal. Keep it real. Deliver it live.
No backing tracks. No shortcuts. No second takes.
Just musicians who care deeply about getting it right — for you, your guests, and the energy of the entire day.
To everyone who has trusted us, supported us, and shared kind words along the way — thank you. This recognition belongs to you as much as it does to us.
If you’re planning a wedding or event and looking for live wedding music in Chicago — whether a Chicago wedding band or Chicago string quartet — we’d love to be part of it.
