Our absolute favorite thing to do is to visit together and get to know each couple that chooses us to be their Chicago wedding band. Mia and Quinn are an incredible pair that exudes a peaceful, content happiness together \u2014 they’re always smiling! It follows that their celebration at the Westin Lombard<\/a> was filled with over 300 of their friends and family that mirrored their cheerful character and affection!<\/p>\n

When guests arrived for cocktails, they were musically transported to South America with our Spanish guitar duo performing a range of flamenco and latin-inspired music. This first impression was such an unexpected and fun twist to cocktail music, that guests were primed to expect the unexpected for the rest of the night \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

At dinnertime, the ballroom opened to impact of the band with their favorite motown, swing and pop tunes as their wedding party and families gathered themselves for introductions. The music they music they chose let everyone know in no uncertain terms that a serious dance party awaited them!<\/p>\n

Mia and Quinn entered to deafening cheers from all, and headed straight to the dance floor. Their moment was It Had To Be You\/Harry Connick Jr., and every guest knew that the bar was set way, way up high for the evening of dancing after dinner!<\/p>\n

Tammy Jordan\u2019s Westin staff expertly served 4 courses to their party with the greatest attention to the smallest detail while always keeping a 10,000 ft. macro view of the evening\u2019s timeline pulse in clear view.<\/p>\n

After dinner, we expanded a bit to the 14-piece Chris Sarlas Orchestra<\/a> to play a full array of American and Greek music. Dances with parents (\u2018What A Wonderful World\u2019 and \u2018In The Mood\u2019) led into an American dance set that packed the floor, only to be rivaled by the set of Greek dancing that followed! Mia was blessed to have all 4 of her grandparents there. We were so happy that one of the featured Greek dances up front was specially requested for them – this was a beautiful photo moment which will be treasured forever!<\/p>\n

The sweet table, complete with ice cream bar (yay!) opened as we transitioned back to American dancing, and despite the mountain of delicious pastries, check out the video to experience how this party would\u2026not\u2026stop\u2026dancing!!<\/p>\n
