The Chris Sarlas Band did an excellent job at my daughter’s recent wedding. They were very professional and kept us All on the dance floor. We had so much fun. Many of the guests have since told us how much they enjoyed the band!!!Although we knew we wanted a band at the wedding, I was a bit scared. For us the music is the most important part of the reception. They determine it’s success. This band did NOT disappoint! We also had their string quartet perform during the cocktail hour. They too were great and made the cocktail hour super special!

I encourage all who are reading this review to seriously consider Sarlas Music. Carol and Chris, from my over the phone/emails encounters with them, appear professional, genuine, and well organized. Unfortunately my wedding was interrupted by the pandemic. However I trust that they are an excellent choice for music. They were phenomenal at a friends wedding.

The Chris Sarlas Orchestra was, simply put, absolutely phenomenal. I truly cannot say enough about our experience with them. They were the highlight of the reception and we have yet to stop receiving compliments on how incredible the band was.Chris himself is the perfect balance of light hearted, flexible and relaxed yet professional, confident and efficient. From day one of working with him we were blown away. Chris wanted to know what we wanted but he was also unbelievably helpful with offering great suggestions from his unmatched experience. We never felt as if Chris was a vendor we hired, rather someone who was genuinely interested in making our day just the way we wanted and a lot of fun! His enthusiasm, vision and organization allowed us to enjoy the reception without any concern at all.The band members are extraordinarily talented and its obvious they were having a good time performing as well. They played a variety of music and Chris allowed for some on the spot suggestions as well. Everything was perfectly smooth and no detail was forgotten. Our wedding day was perfect in more ways than one and we have so many blessings to be thankful for. We consider Chris and his colleagues to certainly be one of those blessings.

When my fiancee and I set out to find music for our wedding day, we ran into the age-old question band or DJ?. I believe that a fantastic band is better than any DJ on earth, but a just-mediocre band is easily beaten by a middling DJ. Luckily for us, the Chris Sarlas Orchestra is a tremendous band and truly took our celebration to the next level.From our first contact, Chris was professional, responsive, and organized, the sort of vendor you feel comfortable leaving in charge of his domain so you can enjoy the night. Throughout the process, our opinion of Chris only improved, as he took the time to meet with us to discuss our music tastes, must-haves (and must-avoids), and to get a sense of what sort of vibe we wanted. He also had a very well-organized questionnaire that made sure we werent forgetting any aspects of the reception (specific songs for cake cutting, etc). As we finalized our decisions, Chris was helpful in answering any questions we had as well as making insightful suggestions about our schedule of events, all while emphasizing that the day had to be a reflection of us as a couple.So, as a wedding vendor, Chris was a dream to work with, but how was the music? Unbelievably good. Day of, Chris and his band owned the stage, playing all of our requests and picking songs that felt hand-selected for our guests. At one point, we had a toast go longer than expected, so Chris adjusted the schedule on the fly to make sure there were no awkward pauses or lulls in the energy, and no one noticed. The band brings so much energy in person, we definitely had a full dance floor. We received endless compliments throughout the evening from guests saying that this was by far the best wedding band they had ever heard.While researching bands, we looked into a few others that were significantly more expensive than the Chris Sarlas Orchestra. I cannot imagine what the added value would be, because Chris and his band delivered a perfect evening for us.I would strongly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking to book a live band for their event. Cannot say enough good things!

Its been a few months since our wedding, but we have gotten MANY comments about the Chris Sarlas Orchestra at our May 2013 wedding. Comments such as WOW, that was the best band Ive ever heard at a wedding keep coming! I fully agree.People were even dancing before our first dance because the music was so good! Our dance floor was packed until the very last song. I would highly recommend Chris Sarlas. The band even wore our wedding sunglasses we gave out as favors without us asking, which was a nice little touch!The package rate was VERY reasonable and Chris was always accommodating. Chris is the perfect MC. I am so grateful our guests had a wonderful time and a lot of that is due to Chris Sarlas and his band!!

Fabulous... absolutely fabulous!!! I wish I could give more than just 5 stars. The Chris Sarlas Orchestra played at all of our siblings wedding and my husband and I wouldnt have had anyone else. The music is current and just phenomenal. The Chris Sarlas Orchestra created the atmosphere that was the highlight of our wedding. All of our guests were blown away by the performance. Chris provided us with an extensive song list and allowed us to choose the songs that we really wanted to hear which made the night a unique experience for us and our guests. If you are considering booking the Chris Sarlas Orchestra I am sure you will not regret it.

WOW!!! Best. Wedding. Band. EVER. Listen, they are not cheap but if you want to pinch pennies on your wedding band and spend the money on flowers or cupcakes go ahead. If you want your guests calling you for a week saying that was the best band they have ever seen and how amazing your wedding was, GO WITH THESE GUYS! They made every aspect of working with them easy and fun from the beginning planning stages through execution and day of. Our wedding was amazing and memorable forever for so many reasons and its large part due to the Carol Sarlas Orchestra. They freaking rocked the house!!! Worth every penny!!

We had a great time; the dance floor was packed the entire night!!! Chris is very flexible and offers a lot of valuable insight regarding time and he made sure to balance the music into three different sets: Greek, American, and Irish. He has a lot of prior experience. I received so many compliments about our band and many people said it was the best band they had heard in a long time. Overall, I thought the night was perfect!!!! There are three things people remember when they go to weddings: food, alcohol, and entertainment. We were fortunate enough to success in all three areas. I HIGHLY recommend Chris and his band, you will NOT be disappointed. ~Meghan & Nick Halkias

I have enjoyed The Chris Sarlas Orchestra as a guest at half a dozen weddings and I never tire of them. There was no way that I would get married with out them.. they made my wedding an event that I will never forget. You would be crazy not to hire them.
