This was the first wedding we played at the stylish James Hotel. Great couple! They were huge Cubs fans and had us play "Go Cubs Go" for their introduction. Once I knew, I bought them His and Hers Cubs caps. The band signed them as a special gift.

The bride and groom showed their guests just how much they loved them with many personal touches. Butterflies were released as a tribute to the bride's mother, who had passed way. They really made the wedding their own. I encourage you to do the same. Everyone will love it!

What a fun crowd! This wedding had over 300 guests. Songs like "Shout" made the dance floor frantic. We also kept the beat going between songs so everyone stays on the dance floor. It felt like a New York City discotech. The energy was incredible!

The Bride's cousin wanted to sing "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge with our male vocalist for the first dance. It was a very challenging song. The bride was nervous. We absolutely nailed it and got a standing ovation! We always make the extra effort to get the best results.

This is a free program. With the bride's permission I gather up all the floral arrangements after the wedding and bring them to the nearest Hospital or Nursing Home. The flowers are distributed to all the patients and staff. These photos were taken after a wedding at the Herrington Inn in Geneva. These were visitors who picked up a floral arrangement to share with their loved one. It's a nice way of spreading the joy of your big day with others. Everyone loves it!
