Chicago Hilton & Towers

Our Chicago wedding band had a ball celebrating with Anastasia and Bobby in the stunning Grand Ballroom of the Chicago Hilton & Towers. It was such an elegant wedding, and we were blown away by our flower wall backdrop. Very, very cool!

It’s always an extra special experience to look out on the dance floor and see people dancing that have celebrated with us at other Chicago weddings! Check this out: we played for Anastasia’s cousin Caidi’s wedding just over a year ago. We loved that Bobby (a guest that night) sat in with the band on a few tunes. He’s an incredible trumpet player and music educator, and we’re always thrilled when couples want to personalize their wedding reception with unique details like this.

When Anastasia and Bobby came over to talk about their need for a Chicago wedding band, we were so honored to be included and couldn’t wait for their party in September at The Hilton and Towers!

Horn-based tunes played a big role in their requests for the night. From their first dance, Frankie Valli’s Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You, the dance floor was packed with guests of all ages. Bruno Mars, Beyonce, Pharrell, Rihanna, J-Lo, JT, you name it. This party was one crowd-pleasing request after another!

And of course, we had to include Sweet Home Alabama in honor of Anastasia’s birthplace. 🙂

Thank you, Anastasia, for these kind words on Wedding Wire!

Using the Chris Sarlas Orchestra has become one of our family’s BEST wedding traditions! From my cousins’ weddings to my own, this group ROCKS it from Stevie Wonder to Lady Gaga (and of course, the Greek dance music is amazing). We had compliments all night (and still get them now) on how fun they were and how amazing they sounded (coming from a wedding full of musicians, that’s a big deal!). Thank you Chris & Carol for being so fantastic to work with and helping with special song requests. I’m sure we’ll be dancing with you again at future family weddings!
