Love the energy they bring to this old school R&B classic! If you like Daft Punk, you’ll groove to this predecessor:

Our first wedding of the year at the newest, hottest hotel in the city. Great way to kick off 2014! If you haven’t been there yet, check it out. Gorgeous.
We had the pleasure of working with one of our very favorite event planners, Anthony Navarro from Liven It Up Events. The Beatles were a favorite of the bride & groom, so Artistrings set the mood for the ceremony with And I Love Her, Maybe I’m Amazed, Blackbird, and other favorites. We brought the guests over from cocktails to dinner with a traditional New Orleans Second Line Parade, complete with parasols and beads. Dana & Jacob chose Safe and Sound as their bridal dance, with all guests joining in halfway through, into a huge dance set before dinner service. This was a fantastic celebration!
Many thanks for the kind words, Dana!
Chris Sarlas Orchestra beyond exceeded our expectations. His orchestra was so good that several of the guests at our wedding thought a dj was playing rather than Chris Sarlas because they were so spot on. They were excellent and energetic and kept our wedding going until 1am. Not only was the orchestra exceptional, Chris Sarlas is so easy to work with. He is very responsive and even learned a song that we requested. I cannot recommend Chris Sarlas Orchestra enough. He made our wedding exactly what we hoped it would be!

Pritzker Pavilion, Millennium Park
One of the most stunning venues in the city — most people don’t get the privilege of seeing Millennium Park from the stage of Pritzker, so this was a special treat. Fantastic!
Artistrings set an elegant, classical mood for the gorgeous ceremony, with music by Puccini, Bach, Debussy, and Lakme.
We transitioned to the cocktail hour with strolling violins and jazz standards. Once dancing started, Annali, Mark, and their guests dance ALL night long. Such a pleasure to work together with Linda from Liven It Up Events!
Thank you Annali for this 5-star review on Yelp!
The number one comment from guests about our reception….”OMG, where did you find that band! They were incredbile!!” I think that says it all! Chris was great to work with and very accommodating. He really wanted to ensure the music reflected our style. Everyone was on the dance floor from the first song to the very end. Chris really knows how to engage the crowd.
