Chris and the band were absolutely INCREDIBLE! They completely blew us away — totally exceeded expectations!! From the first song, they had the dance floor completely packed and kept the energy going all night! We received SO many compliments from our guests — everyone was absolutely amazed by their talent and the amazing energy they created. They really knew how to read the crowd and keep the party going. On top of the incredible talent and performance, they were incredibly professional and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. They took care of all the coordination with the venue for setup and sound, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We couldn’t recommend them more highly — definitely one of the best parts of our wedding day!! Thank you!!

Jason and I had the absolute pleasure of having the Chris Sarlas Orchestra perform at our wedding on June 8th, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we started planning, Chris’ long-tenured experience in the wedding entertainment industry and his attention to detail were evident and clearly one of the greatest benefits of working with him and the band. The prep work leading up to the big day was phenomenal—Chris took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that every musical aspect was perfectly tailored to our celebration.

On the day of the wedding, the Chris Sarlas Orchestra delivered an unforgettable performance. The dance floor was never empty, thanks to their incredible ability to keep the energy high and the crowd engaged. The band’s diverse repertoire and flawless execution had our guests dancing all night long and talking about the music long after the event.

If you’re looking for an orchestra that combines professionalism, creativity, and exceptional talent, look no further than the Chris Sarlas Orchestra. They made our wedding truly magical, and we couldn’t have asked for a better musical experience. Thank you, Chris and the band, for making our special day so extraordinary!

I don’t even know where to begin with Chris and Sarlas Music. First of all, they were extremely easy to work with, organized, and provided the guidance we needed as we planned for our wedding. We had a string trio for the ceremony and the 10 person band (with horns) for the reception, and could not have had a better time. The dance floor was PACKED all night and we have received so many compliments and inquiries from engaged guests on how to book Sarlas Music for their weddings. This is the entertainment every wedding (and/or event) need!

We booked Sarlas Music for our Wedding. They performed not only at the Reception, but at the Ceremony and Cocktail Hour as well via Artistrings. It all led to an incredible night of music.

They were so incredibly communicative and helpful throughout the whole planning process. They were extremely flexible to any of our asks and went above and beyond to make sure that the night went off without a hitch. The band sounded amazing, and we received tons of compliments about how much they contributed to it being an unforgettable night.

Sarlas Music was beyond anything we could have imagined. They provided music that kept everyone on the dance floor the entire reception! Chris was also extremely kind and receptive to what me and my husband wanted, and absolutely delivered. I couldn’t have picked a better band for our wedding! Thank you Chris and Sarlas Music!

I cannot say enough great things about Carol Sarlas Orchestra, throughout the entire planning process they were a great resource and worked collaboratively with us on all music selections. Then day of they exceeded all expectations! From flawlessly announcing the toasts, to learning multiple special song requerts and a night of dancing we’ll never forget - everything was perfect. We cannot tell you the number of compliments we've received thus far on the band, the dance floor was packed the entire night.
