Seymour, IL
The day that Kate & Brett got engaged in Washington, D.C., they prioritized their band and the location for their wedding celebration. Within two weeks, the decision was made to host the celebration at Kate’s family farm in Seymour, IL, and that Chris’ Chicago wedding band would be making the trip down to keep everyone dancing. The one sure thing they told us right away was this: “it’s not going to be a black tie affair, we can tell you that much!” “Think country chic, Chris.” We love it!
When our Chicago wedding band performed for Kate & Brett’s rustic farm wedding, their machine shed was repurposed into housing the best country-chic evening celebration you can possibly imagine. Of course, this also meant that we could drive our van right in and unload. This, my friends, was the easiest load-in of our 18 year career….so far. (Can you hear the sound crew applauding?) What a refreshing change from the congestion of the city. You feel peaceful just looking at these next two pictures, right?
Andy sounded fantastic on All The Way/David Nail for Kate & Brett’s first dance. Their Goldendoodle, Lincoln, was the sweetest first dance bomber we’ve ever seen. This video makes us smile, every single time.
Guests enjoyed our unique “Unplugged” option for dinner service:
And then, we danced the night away!
Brett’s words on Wedding Wire mean the world:
We found Chris and Carol on WeddingWire and immediately found Chris’ responsiveness and attention to detail very comforting. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted from our wedding band. They crushed it! Guests of all ages were dancing for hours. We also appreciated the band’s willingness to learn a new song for our first dance. Also – the acoustic dinner music was incredible and something we’d highly recommend to anyone else. We gave Chris and Carol five stars all around – we had a blast and our guests are raving about the music at our wedding. Thanks to Chris, Carol, and the band for everything!
Kate & Brett, your party was a blast, and we were thrilled to celebrate with you both!
