We just had the BEST time playing in the backing orchestra for Celtic Woman at North Central College in Naperville. The string section in the orchestra was provided by Artistrings. So much fun to perform with these talented ladies!

The Drake Hotel
Frank & Paul
Beyond the shadow of a doubt, Frank & Paul had the coolest cake topper we’ve ever seen. Let’s talk numbers here for a minute: there’s no guarantee that a party with 800 guests will have strong dancing. Compare that with Frank and Paul’s wedding at the Drake Hotel in the magnificent Gold Coast Room — just over 100 guests who danced, danced and danced together all night long!
Check out this room shot before anyone arrived. Gorgeous.
Thank you for this wonderful 5-star review on Wedding Wire:
“Chris provided both ceremony and reception music for my wedding, both were FANTASTIC! I had several calls after my wedding asking who was that amazing band. My guests danced until 1 a.m. and would have gone longer had the venue permitted. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris’ for ceremony music, band and DJ services to any perspective wedding couple. If you don’t choose Chris, your missing out on a phenomenal musical experience!!!”

Chicago History Museum
Katelyn & JJ
From ceremony through last dance, we were honored to provide the music for this wonderful couple. Expert coordination from Lauren at LK Events. If you are considering a consultant, she is a MUST CALL. An absolute pleasure to work with, each & every time!
“We don’t have enough great things to say about the Chris Sarlas Orchestra. Our wedding guests packed the dance floor all night, and we are still receiving compliments about how wonderful our band was! Chris intently listened to the songs we hoped to hear/songs we didn’t want to hear and was a pleasure to work with.”

Lake Geneva Country Club
Annie & David
Annie’s mom left the band a glowing 5-star review on Wedding Wire, from a positively wonderful celebration at Lake Geneva Country Club — Ironically, we would use the exact same five words from her review to describe Annie and David! What a night!
“Wonderful. Fabulous. Incredible. Terrific. Outstanding. Non stop fun and dancing. They have our highest recommendation for any event. Super emcee. Very professional. Covered an enormous range of music.”
Yes, this is the father of the groom up on the subwoofer!
Special request:
Guests of all ages out there on the floor. Love it!!
Last dance of the night. Absolutely packed dance floor. Watch this to catch Chris introducing the band, and the bride & groom thanking the musicians. All of our hard work is worth every second when we get this kind of reaction!
