I cannot recommend Arlen Music Company/Evolution Orchestra enough!

They were professional, polished, and fun. They really partnered with us throughout the wedding planning experience, so we felt that all of the music was personalized and exactly what we wanted. We had a few calls with them leading up to the wedding, where we explained our vision and vibe. They made sure it was delivered on the dance floor.

We planned sweet and sentimental songs for the walk down the aisle. For example, my bridesmaids walked down the aisle to a violin version of "Mastermind" - the same song my husband proposed to. My mother walked down the aisle to a piano version of "Cannon D" - the same song she had walked down the aisle to at her wedding. And I walked down the aisle to "XO" by Beyonce and John Mayer - my favorite singer and my husband's favorite singer.

Then, they played our first dances beautifully. My dad and I danced to a slow version of "It's a Beautiful Day." The slow version didn't really exist, so they helped us to create one. Then, they played it so beautifully as we danced to it.

For my husband and my first dance to "Simply the Best", they sounded even better than the original.

Then, they made sure the dance floor was bumpin'! They played slightly older songs at the start for the dance floor. Then, they played really fun songs that brought all of the young people onto the dance floor.

At the middle of the party, I really wanted to bring out espresso martinis to a fun song. They helped me to find a song and time that would keep the vibes high for our 5-hour dance floor, but also would be after grandma went back to sleep for the crazier songs.

Towards the end of the night, the lead singer even came out on the dance floor and danced with us. It made the crowd go wild and the pictures so fun!

Plus, they knew I loved Taylor Swift, so they did a surprise bonus song where everyone sang "Love Story" together.

Then, we did a final slow dance to "Wedding Dress" by Matt Nathanson. They made it all so perfect, before we headed to our after party.

I cannot recommend Arlen Music Productions more. We loved Evolution Band - from the sentimental pieces to the party. They made our wedding so memorable, fun, and special.

Our wedding was 18 months ago and we still get compliments on the band - from their beautiful voices for the first dance to their vibes for the dance floor.

Book 'em!

Indigo and Kendall were AMAZING! Fabulous music, everyone danced the night away! Incredible song choices! They completely understood the vibe we wanted! It was so much fun!!!! Our guest never left the dance floor. The most epic Hora EVER! They surpassed our dreams! So grateful!

Entourage was instrumental in making our Chicago Cultural Center wedding such a memorable event and kept the dance floor PACKED all night long. After our wedding, countless guests told us that Entourage was the best wedding band that they had ever heard and we couldn't agree more. Morgen is an absolute rockstar of a bandleader and was a true pleasure to work with in the weeks and months before the wedding. Live music is very important to us and we were so lucky to be able to book Entourage for our big day, we can't recommend them enough. Thanks Entourage!

Indigo was the band we chose for our Chicago wedding at Salvage One. We cannot say enough great things about Indigo – they made all our wedding band dreams come true! The band is lead by the incredibly talented Kendall Nesbitt, who kept all of our guests on the dance floor (including himself) all night long, curating a set list that perfectly matched our music taste (Motown, oldies and pop). He delivered the BEST version of “Shout!” (with a mashup of Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds!) we have ever heard. Some guests who typically do not prefer that song were raving about it. Each band member and singer were also insanely talented – Noah perfectly sang our first dance song “Forever You and Me”. We also would be remiss to not mention the solo guitar during our ceremony too. They were able to perfectly learn and play versions of songs we requested for the processional. If you are looking for a high energy, fun wedding band, we highly recommend working with Arlen, specifically Indigo. “Worth every penny.” – A happy father of the bride. Thanks Arlen/Indigo!

Velocity provided music for our wedding ceremony over Labor Day Weekend at Revel Motor Row in Chicago. The musicians and vocalists brought so much energy and joy to the celebration! They played music at the ceremony so beautifully, created a calm and elegant atmosphere during cocktail hour and dinner, and kept the dance floor full all night long! They kindly learned first dance songs as well as additional songs special to my family members. Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they also know how to read the room and keep everyone engaged. Guests of all ages have told us it was the best wedding band they’ve ever heard! Would highly recommend Velocity to provide music at any special event.

Skyline is the best. They made our wedding night amazing. Chris and everyone else were extremely communicative throughout the process and played exceptionally the night of our wedding. We would highly recommend them to anyone

Can’t say enough great things about the band we booked, Skyline. They played an incredible variety of songs to perfection! They even happily learned a new song for the bride/father dance.

If you’re looking for a top-notch band all around, look no further than Skyline. They have it all!!! We literally think they are the reason the wedding celebration was a huge success. Guests are still reminiscing about their favorite song that they danced to with their best friends. Priceless!

We are so happy we hired Front of House for our September wedding at the Chicago Athletic Association! Everyone raved about the band - from my aunts in their 70s to my cousin’s teenage daughters. A band that can cater to all ages and different tastes and keep everyone on the dance floor is pretty rare! David was really helpful throughout the planning process helping us build a timeline for our reception dinner. We had a song in mind for our first dance and the band learned it for us, which made our night really memorable. We had a guest comment that she felt like our wedding had the best timeline “flow”, and that was all due to David’s suggestions. If you are considering Front of House as your wedding band, do yourself a favor and book them!

I can’t say enough great things about FRONT OF HOUSE! This incredible 11-member band, led by the talented David Sherman, exceeded every expectation. During the planning stages, David went above and beyond, helping us fine-tune the evening’s itinerary and carefully curating a perfect playlist based on our preferences—both songs we loved and ones we wanted to avoid.

FRONT OF HOUSE even learned a few new songs we requested, including the Father-Daughter dance, which made our celebration even more personal and special. On the day of the wedding, they brought an infectious energy and professionalism that had everyone on the dance floor all night long. Their enthusiasm was palpable, and their talent undeniable.

We especially loved their on-stage choreography—it was clear they were having as much fun as we were! Their ability to read the room and create the perfect musical vibe made our wedding reception truly unforgettable. The energy they brought was lively, joyful, and exactly what we dreamed of for our daughter's big day.

A huge thank-you to Rebecca Richey, Katherine Anderick, Bret Zweir, Curt Bley, Brian Danzy, Tom McCarthy, Josh Hettwer, Josh Jern, LeTroy Jackson, Rebecca Brown, and of course, David Sherman. You all were the heartbeat of our celebration, and we wouldn’t dream of hosting a wedding without you!

A big 'thank you' to you to Indigo for such an incredible night! There was a theme among our wedding guests' compliments we received about the day, and Indigo was by far a highlight!

I can confidently say booking you all for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! We said we wanted to throw a party and have everyone talking about the entertainment, and that is exactly what happened!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
