This party ROCKED. Justin had one song that was a MUST PLAY. So we learned it just for him:
Also, we discovered that Dayna can RAP. Pretty darn cool.
Kristy’s dad was incredibly kind to leave us this 5 star review:
“could not have been more impressed with band. chris sarlas ran the wedding from introduction of bride to final dance. as father of bride I just sat back and enjoyed the party. He ran it beautifully and my daughter and wife were thrilled. never ending parade of guests all night kept telling me what a wonderful band. dance floor was filled from first dance until last dance. Chris communicated with my daughter prior to the wedding and everything was ready to go. The man is a gentleman and was great with our guests. Great experience.
From the first night we met Chris til the final dance it was an amazing adventure. the man is wonderful to work with and his band is the best you’ll ever hear. kept party going without stop. dance floor was filled all night til final dance.
you don’t need co-ordinator when you have chris sarlas band. they played for the ceremony and from introductions til final dance he ran the entire evening. As father of bride I just enjoyed the whole evening while chris ran the show.”
One of the top venues in the city is Cathedral Hall at the University Club of Chicago. Always, always, ALWAYS a fantastic party at UCC. This one was no exception!
“The Chris Sarlas Orchestra was amazing for our wedding. They were able to keep people dancing and having a great time all night. Everytime you thought the band would not be able to follow up a great song, they had another to keep the party going. Everyone at the wedding said the band was the best they have ever heard….great vocals! Thank You again Chris!”
We had an awesome time performing for Colleen, Frank, and all of their guests!
“Chris Sarlas and Band DELIVERED!! We were a more mature couple looking for a band that could span the decades and keep everyone rocking. They delivered. Chris was familiar with our venue, helped us script out the reception night and all we had to do was outline 10 or so MUST have songs and let them do the rest. This was key. We had professional musicians that were guests at our wedding and they had nothing but compliments on how Chris & co transitioned the music and kept everyone on their feet. Don’t over-script the music.”
Here are a couple of classics to please guests of all ages:
This video from Clementina & Greg’s party at the Oak Brook Marriott says it all — SURPRISE FLASH MOB ANYONE? Check out the bride & groom’s reaction 🙂
“I truly can’t complement Chris Sarlas and his orchestra enough for what he did for our wedding reception. To only say that they sound amazing and keep the dance floor packed (which they do!) would be selling them short. Chris is a true professional who knows how to make a wedding reception flow beautifully and it shows. He worked hard to understand what was important to us and our vision for the evening and he made it a reality. He had an especially difficult challenge with our wedding: combining Greek, Latino and American music, working in my Godmother’s surprise flash mob dance routine, letting my sister sing a special song to us and even welcoming late night mariachis. Chris blended in everything beautifully! Our reception was HUGE success, a ton of fun and Chris stuck with us from cocktails to clean up making sure that we were satisfied and our night was a special one. What a night!! Thank you Chris Sarlas Orchestra we couldn’t be happier!!”
From ceremony through dancing, Jamie & Ryan’s celebration was an incredible party at a gorgeous, historic venue. Love every Frank Lloyd Wright detail at The Rookery. Makes you want to get up & dance, right?
“This is a truly phenomenal band! I think they may be a little hidden gem right now, but I would jump on the chance to work with them. We worked with Chris on our wedding just a couple of weeks ago and it could not have been executed more perfectly. From the very beginning, he was such a pleasure to work with. I had many ideas and he walked me through countless pricing options, instrument combinations, etc. He also had great ideas for things we were unsure about and is an excellent listener. Chris is exceedingly professional – a dream to work with.
We hired Chris and his musicians for our ceremony (cello and violin performed pop instrumental songs), the jazz trio for our cocktail hour, and the 10-piece band for our reception. Chris did a great job MC-ing and he and the band’s music was never cheezy wedding band- sounding, just really, really good. All our guests commented on how great they were and the dance floor was full all night!”
Your guests will tell you that they're dancing to the best band in Chicago, and we have the reviews to prove it!
