We will act as your Emcee
for all announcements and introductions.
Before making any announcements or introductions, we will make sure all your Chicago wedding vendors are ready. This will allow you to enjoy each other, your family and friends while your wedding stays on schedule.
Read an email from a wedding vendor we worked with recently.
Your Wedding Reception is divided into three main sections:
Cocktails, Dinner and Dancing
-
The purpose of cocktails is to change the mood from the formal ceremony to a much more relaxing atmosphere.
- Recommend Ensemble:
- Chicago Jazz Trio (Piano, Bass and Sax)
- Description:
- Relaxing, luxurious, sophisticated jazz for quiet background music.
- Sample Songs:
- Girl from Impenema, Fly Me to the Moon, When I Fall in Love

The purpose of Dinner is to perform the standard wedding traditions as well as serve the meal itself. This has the option to include dancing.
- Dinner includes these standard wedding traditions:
- Introduction of the Bridal Party

Dancing Between Courses:
Your Chicago Wedding Band starts at the beginning of dinner. First dance, father/daughter, mother/son dances are done as soon as you are introduced. Guests are invited to dance between salads and your main course. This is a huge advantage to your wedding.

What is dancing between courses?- Midwest Style:
- All Dancing would start only after the entire meal is completed.
Background music will be played while you and your guests are eating.
The purpose is to get as many of your guests as possible dancing at the same time throughout the night. We do this by selecting the next song based on what's actually happening on your dance floor.
