The Chris Sarlas Orchestra isn't just Chicago's best wedding band.
It's your wedding band.

Whether you're gleefully packed like sardines on the dance floor, listening to everyone gush about the phenomenal time they had at your wedding, or reminiscing about your idyllic first dance, one thing's for sure: the secret to earning party-of-the-year status is choosing the band that really gets who you are (and of course, has that stellar sound too).

All right folks, this is LIVE video.
We keep it real because nothing is more important than your peace of mind.

Yes, splashy pro video is super pretty, but that's not what will be happening in real time on the dance floor on your wedding day, and that's definitely no way to choose a band. You're smarter than that.
What you see here is raw and real, because choosing the right band shouldn't be a gamble.

You bring the love, we'll bring the best singers in Chicago

Giana. If we've said it once, we've said it 1,000 times...Giana ROCKS. Exemplary vocalist Giana Casale is a force of nature. Her commanding precision is evident with every performance, effortlessly covering songs by Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, and ABBA, all the way to Journey and Bon Jovi, and Billie Holiday to Billie Eilish. Sing Giana!

Tim. He will knock the socks clear off of your feet. From current hits of Bruno Mars, Usher, Ne-Yo and Taio Cruz, to timeless favorites from Stevie Wonder, The Spinners, and Lionel Richie, sensational vocalist Tim Johnson covers it all, effortlessly. Listen to Tim sing, and you’ll witness his star power first-hand as he presents every song with dynamic style...and likely see him receive a bunch of high-fives from guests on the dance floor.

Andy. Contagious energy. From rock & pop to country, R&B, and standards, Andy brings a level of energy and crowd interaction that gets everybody on the dance floor. His incredibly diverse repertoire includes Sam Cooke, Marc Anthony, Jason Mraz, Van Morrison, Talking Heads, Walk the Moon, Maroon 5, Zac Brown Band, Jason Aldean, Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble and Frankie Valli. Andy’s vocal talent makes it possible for the Chris Sarlas Orchestra to confidently perform repertoire that many bands would be hesitant to attempt in a live setting.

Jae. Raw talent. Refined style. Possessing a passionate, soulful, and velvety R&B sound, exceptionally gifted vocalist Jae Wilkins can best be described as a fusion of Sade, Whitney Houston, Adele, and Mariah Carey. Jae’s captivating stage presence earned accolades in the Fox Chicago Idol contest, and on ABC 7 as one of 12 finalists for Windy City Live’s Dare to Dream competition. With her infectious smile, enchanting personality, and vocal prowess, Jae is a breath of fresh air.

Hear the band.

Here we are, recorded live in performance by our engineer Mark through our digital mixing console.
Why?
Because on your wedding day, there are no second takes. No third takes. No autotune. No overdubs. No edits.
No matter which band you ultimately decide to work with, keep in mind that they only get one chance to get it right.
This is what we sound like with that one chance, and this is what we will sound like at your event.
For real.

Hey, don't take our word for it.

Here's what our clients say…

"You killed it. You read the room, you got our guests moving, and you helped make the evening flow flawlessly. We are truly blessed to have begun our first night as husband and wife with such a raging party, surrounded on the dance floor all night. You brought our two families, our friends, and our coworkers together on the dance floor as one. I am so grateful."

Delaina H., Chicago, IL

"Chris and Carol are a dream team, their band members are energetic, outgoing and truly there to make your wedding magical. Call them, I promise, it will be the most genuine conversation you have while planning your wedding and the easiest decision to book! Chris and Carol, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we absolutely could not have imagined celebrating without you two!"

Lauren, wedding at the Four Seasons

"Chris made the experience very personal, taking the time to learn about us as a couple. Other bands that my wife and I contacted made us feel like we were just another client to them but we never got that impression from Chris. All night our guests kept asking where we found this band and complimenting us on what an amazing job they were doing!"

Brendan M., Chicago, IL

"From the moment we met Chris and Carol, we knew we had found our band. They were so personable and cared so much about us and what we wanted for our wedding music. It was probably the quickest vendor decision we made and we certainly made the right call. They went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. Numerous guests commented that it was the best wedding band they ever heard, and we could not agree more!"

Heather B., Hinsdale, IL

"To only say that they sound amazing and keep the dance floor packed (which they do!) would be selling them short. Chris is a true professional who knows how to make a wedding reception flow beautifully and it shows. He worked hard to understand what was important to us and our vision for the evening and he made it a reality."

Clementina & Greg, Chicago, IL

"Wow. People were coming to us all night and all said some variation of 'Where did you guys find this band, they are INCREDIBLE,' and they were. The talent of the musicians was clear, and the dance floor was rocking all night, even our 90 year old grandfather felt the need to get out there."

Ashley & Jimmy, Chicago, IL

"Hands down the BEST band EVER!!! Chris and his team made our wedding the party of the century. People were leaving our venue sweating from dancing so much, and everyone has raved about them and the time they had at our wedding! They're AMAZING!"

Stefanie F., Chicago, IL

"Chris and his crew were very easy to work with and we connected with them from our very first meeting! We immediately cancelled every other band meeting we had scheduled. Based on their performance, would not have changed a thing!!"

Mary M., Lake Forest, IL
