We Love SRO!
We hired SRO for our wedding in August 2024, and had a great experience! Leading up to the big day, they were always quick to respond to emails, answered every question I had, and provided excellent recommendations for songs when I had trouble deciding. On the day of the wedding, Kara was an awesome emcee, and the band was wonderful! The dance floor was packed the whole night, and many of our guests commented on how great the music was. If you're looking to book SRO, you won't be disappointed! (Photos by Colin Lyons Photography)
Bride
We were thrilled with our choice to hire Standing Room Only Orchestra for our wedding reception. Throughout the planning process, they were extremely responsive and wonderful to communicate with. On our big day, they absolutely exceeded our expectations and were the highlight of the celebration. Their talent and energy had all our guests dancing nonstop and raving about how fantastic the band was. We felt like rock stars thanks to their stellar performance and lively personalities. For the money, they were absolutely the best investment we made for our wedding. We can't recommend Standing Room Only highly enough, especially for couples in the Chicagoland area looking for an outstanding band that feels like part of the family. Their musical talent and genuine warmth made our wedding reception a huge hit!
