Our Chicago wedding band was thrilled to join Melli & Steve for their wedding reception at the Union League Club of Chicago. We always LOVE performing at the ULC! From cocktails on the 2nd floor with the Artistrings pop string quartet<\/a>, to dancing between courses with Chris’ 14 piece Chicago wedding band<\/a>, Melli & Steve’s wedding was one to remember. <\/p>\n

Question: What’s the best way to guarantee an exceptional Chicago wedding reception?
\nAnswer: A team of rockstar vendors working together! Ken Severin and his entire staff pay close attention to every detail of the evening, making the Union League one of Chicago’s most popular and respected venues. Add Stephanie Cook\u2019s team of Creative Planners<\/a> led by Michelle Alex to the mix, and you’ve gathered the key ingredients for a killer celebration. <\/p>\n

Cocktails were held on the second floor, where 250 guests were thrilled by the Artistrings Pop Quartet<\/a> as they visited and relaxed after the beautiful ceremony at St. Demetrios Church.<\/p>\n

Melli and Steve wanted a New York style reception with continuous music all night long, which is this Chicago wedding band’s very favorite type of reception to play! Their first dance: This Magic Moment\/The Drifters established the perfect mood to transition into a short dance set to get the evening started. We loved looking out on the packed dance floor and seeing so many happy guests, some of which had never been to an East Coast style dance party. Their jubilant reactions told us that they approved, in a very big way!<\/p>\n

Music requests during dinner included several authentic big band Frank Sinatra arrangements, including Young At Heart for the evening\u2019s father\/daughter dance. When entree service began, we pared things down to an \u2018Unplugged\u2019 set. Featuring our incomparable vocal team of Jae, Dayna, Tim and Andy, along with acoustic guitar and cajon, guests were treated to hip arrangements of popular songs that were also conversation friendly \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

From there, it\u2019s was all about Melli and Steve\u2019s vision of continuous dance music for the rest of the night! <\/p>\n
