Westmoreland Country Club

With our Chicago wedding band performing for Colleen and Shane’s celebration at Westmoreland Country Club and a picture perfect weather forecast, this couple had the elements of a summer Chicago wedding day of their dreams! With both outdoor and indoor elements, their vendor team shaped a fantastic party that will be remembered for years to come.

Westmoreland Country Club’s history of hosting excellent parties comes down to masterful and thoughtful planning from director of Catering, Sandra Groseclose. She carries soft spoken respect from every single one of her staff, and her expertise and talent gives every engaged couple the peace of mind to simply relax and enjoy their special day.

From our first telephone call with Shane, it became abundantly clear that a killer dance party, and therefore a killer Chicago wedding band, was their priority. Those words are always music to our ears!

When the big day finally arrived, we were greeted with picture perfect July weather of 81 degrees with low humidity (yeah!). The weather gods fashioned the evening’s success outdoors for cocktails on the lawn, followed by dinner in the tent on the patio. Guests dined al-fresco under the stars, enjoying an amazing meal from the Westmoreland chefs.

After dessert, Colleen and Shane took to the microphone to thank their families and guests, and closed their remarks by inviting everyone into the living room to join their favorite Chicago wedding band and dance the night away.

Once guests heard the first grooves from the Chris Sarlas Orchestra, they followed the music into the Club to witness Colleen & Shane’s bridal dance to Brett Eldredge’s Mean To Me. After two more poignant dances with parents — Colleen and her dad to My Little Girl/Tim McGraw and Shane with his mom on The Perfect Fan/Backstreet Boys — the living room came to life with everyone jumping on the dance floor. These video overviews speak for themselves. We danced until well after midnight, and the Club took on the feel of a packed nightclub. So much fun!

They requested a very fun selection of artists: Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Icona Pop, Stevie Wonder, Zac Brown Band and a blast of hits from the 90’s. Hootie and the Blowfish! Montell Jordan! Chumbawamba! (C’mon, let’s be honest…these are your guilty pleasures too) 🙂

Our vocal team has a synergy that everyone can feel. We started this trailer with a hilarious exchange between Dayna & Andy. Dayna has laser-focus, but Andy isn’t about to let it go. Check out his harmonies….as well as Tim’s reaction:

Colleen and Shane: you had an incredible summer wedding at one of our very favorite north shore country club locations. We wish you a long life together of much happiness, success, and good health!
