THE | BAND


My fiance is a musician, so it was really high on our list to have a live band at our wedding.  We both love Frank Sinatra (I mean really, who doesn't?) so we started looking at bands in our area who played this style of music for wedding venues.

We searched and listened to a few before he pulled up a video that made us both stop and look at each other.  We knew we had to have them!


PETER | OPRISKO
AND HIS ENSEMBLES


We sent a message out to Peter right away letting him know we were interested in having him play at our wedding.  He plays a lot of shows near the Chicago area and had actually done a wedding at our venue in the past (which was nice - knowing the venue would already know how to set up and work with this band!).

Peter contacted us back right away giving us a quote for the quintet or octet for our desired amount of time.  My fiance had his heart set on having the octet perform... but the quote we received for this was out of our budget.

Luckily, Peter was amazing and really worked with us to come up with a compromise so we could have the octet perform within our price range!

He also has an 8 page repertoire list of songs they perform so you can find the songs for your first dance, mother-son dance & father-daughter dance.  There is a great range of classics to modern songs.


Here's a link to the list!

...so we could move forward and try to find our:
