My wife and I hired Victor and Accolade Musicians for our wedding in July of 2010. We hired them as…read morea string quartet and asked that they play a lot of contemporary songs specifically Smashing Pumpkins "Today" and Muse "Starlight", which is actually the song the bride came down the aisle to. They showed up right on time, setup quickly, played the songs we had requested, and packed up and left right after the ceremony. No fuss, no muss. Exactly what we needed and completely professional throughout. I would definitely recommend them again for my friends weddings.

Can I just say that this part of my wedding was not only the easiest to plan, but was the most…read moreeffective in creating the atmosphere we desired! Patti Lupo and the Crew are fabulous (...and I know! I played in a wedding band!). They have a wonderful list of tunes and are open to 1 or 2 additions. They played everything from classical piano music (ceremony), jazz combo (dinner), and everything beyond for the reception: classical rock, motown, and funk to the pop hits of the last 5 years. Excellent! I am not joking when I say I barely remember the evening passing! Not because I was drinking (because I wasn't), but because I was literally on the dance floor the entire time. We have a crew that loves to dance, and the floor was NEVER empty. I have recommended Patti Lupo to 4 other friends and 2 have signed contracts that I know of so far. They played my wedding, my sister's, my cousin's, my best friends, and her sisters and are about to play 2 more of my close friends. They never bore and never tire and are SO REASONABLE! I am serious when I say you do not need to look any further! From this musician, I give 5 GIANT *'s.

Patti Lupo Music is top notch! Patti and her band played at our wedding this past weekend and at…read morethe end of the night our guests did not want to leave! We had guests tell us that they NEVER dance at weddings and that they were on the dance floor all night for the first time since their own wedding many years ago! We were on a tight schedule because our wedding reception was relatively short. When we met with Patti we focused a great deal on the schedule and the things we wanted to make sure we covered throughout the night. Patti did not miss a thing! The evening flowed perfectly and Patti and her band were great at reading the crowd on the dance floor. Our guests did not stop dancing the entire night! Patti Lupo Music is also very reasonably priced compared to the other full size bands in Chicago. We spent a long time looking for a band that was what we wanted for the price that we could afford and Patti's band was it! If you want an incredible band for your wedding without having to break the bank... Patti Lupo Music is your band!

My Husband and I hired a string trio from 1-800-Violins to play at our Catholic wedding ceremony…read morethis September. Rami & Dee Hagari are so talented, and sounded so beautiful. Rami and Dee were such a pleasure to work with, and made the ceremony planning process extra easy. We selected most of the traditional wedding ceremony songs, but made one special request for them to play Queen's "You're My Best Friend", which I'm not sure they've played before. They kindly accepted the challenge, and played it beautifully! The ceremony would not have been as beautiful without them playing. I'd recommend 1-800-Violins for any event!

I would recommend him highly to anyone looking to make a special time in your life one to remember.

From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized, attentive, and genuinely interested in understanding our music preferences. She listened to what we liked and made sure the music felt personal to us and fit the atmosphere we wanted for our wedding. What really stood out was that Norah was so much more than just our DJ. She helped keep our reception timeline moving seamlessly and made sure everything flowed smoothly throughout the evening without us having to worry about what was happening next. She also coordinated extremely well with our photographer, making sure the music, announcements, and reception events were timed appropriately so our photographer could capture all of the important moments. Having someone who was so organized, communicative, and proactive made such a difference on our wedding day. Norah helped everything run smoothly while still making the music and reception feel completely personal to us. We are so grateful for everything she did and would absolutely recommend Norah and Modern Love DJs to other couples!

He played the most beautiful pipes as friends and family entered, and later left the church on Saturday for my nephew's services. He played Amazing Grace once in the church. Something about the sounds of those pipes. Not a dry eye anywhere. Then at the cemetery he played as people arrived and walked toward the gravesite. Again, he played Amazing Grace as my nephew, my little brother, was lowered below. He walked off into the distance and the pipes faded. But he didn't leave. He stood there and waited until each and every vehicle left. He was the last man standing. Such an incredible person. Prior to Saturday I told him the possibility of bad weather, and he wrote me back, "Scott, the pipes are no stranger to inclement weather."
