We hired Stitely Orchestra for our wedding. We had a trio for the ceremony, a pianist for the cocktail hour and an 8-piece band for the dancing at the reception. Each part was absolutely incredible! The ceremony music was really beautiful and they played whatever we asked for in advance. The open dancing was SO MUCH FUN!!! Their energy was contagious and the dance floor was filled for 3 straight hours. Jeff and his team were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Stitely Orchestra for any event. The planning process was super easy as they had a portal where we could select which songs and genres we liked or disliked. I cannot say enough good things about this band. Everyone was impressed!

Jeff was more than helpful in assisting me in finding a last minute musician for a surprise engagement. He went over and beyond with hours to spare and the musician was perfect for the song! Thank you so much for all you did in helping make this the best proposal!

Such an amazing performance! 1 month post wedding, and our wedding guests are still talking about the band. We were at ease with their process and communication leading up to our wedding day. They learned a few special songs for us, and nailed them! We would highly recommend

We recently contracted with the Jeff Stikley group to perform at our son’swedding and want to share our experience. From start to finish, it was aprofessional, yet personal relationship. Jeff was pleasant, responsive, and receptive to our requests. He communicated the group’s needs to us, met for a walk-through before the wedding date, and arrived promptly on the evening of the event. Their music selections were excellent and they agreed to guests’ requests during the evening. The venue was a cocktail party, and the group provided ideal background music, which was conducive to dancing as well. We (and our guests) appreciated the conversation-friendly level of their performance.To this day, we still receive compliments on the quality of the evening’s music.We highly recommend the Jeff Stikley group and would not hesitate to hire themagain.

My husband and I couldnt have been MORE happy with our decision to use Stitely Entertainment for our wedding ceremony! We really wanted musicians who could provide a romantic and intimate setting during our wedding ceremony. Stitely delivered! The music was absolutely beautiful and everything ran smoothly. Stitely was extremely easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding. They made sure to answer all of our questions and they followed through on all of the details we wanted in regards to the music. They were able to play the songs we requested which made us so happy! Couldnt have been more pleased with Stitely and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is getting married! Thank you Stitely!!!

The Stitely Orchestra has played at both of our daughters weddings. In each case they kept the dance floor packed from start to finish and we received great feedback from our guests about the band. Jeff and Emily were thorough and attentive throughout the planning process. A deep song list, talented musicians and a flexible approach made for outstanding celebrations! Thank you!

Stitely helped us create the perfect day, filled with diverse music that was special to our friends and family. From the string trios classy take on modern pop tunes to the jazz combos Latin hits for cocktail hour to the receptions monster 9-piece band, the music never stopped and the crowd was loving it at every step. Jeff has a true passion for performance and for creating a vibe, and him and the whole team were eager to collaborate with us. They took cues from us and also gave us a lot of perspective when it comes to planning the perfect party. We would definitely recommend!

Chicago Groove Collective Orchestra performed at my daughters wedding in Evanston. They were a smash hit. Everyone danced the night away. The tunes were perfect. They added the energy we had hoped for. great vocals and great instrumentation.

We couldnt have asked for a better band! We had an outdoor wedding and had some unforeseen circumstances arise. Jeff and his team were very agile and quick to adjust and made every moment as perfect as it could be. One of my favorite things about dealing with Stitely Entertainment was their attention to detail, with a schedule down to the minute, making sure every name was pronounced correctly, and most importantly making sure that the music was everything we wanted it to be. Howd they do this? Well, before we ever met with them to start planning, they had us go through a list of songs and mark them in one of three ways, Like, Love, Dislike. The theory here is that they can figure out what style of music to plan throughout the night based on your preferences. They were spot on! They even let me (the groom) perform on stage with them. Im not anywhere near their talent, but the fact that they let me sing a song to my wife and play lead guitar on Sweet Home Chicago made my lifelong dream a reality. If you are lucky enough that Stitely Entertainment is available on your wedding day, book them immediately and look no further.

WOW!! I am so happy I booked Stitely Entertainment for my wedding. DJ Riel was so energetic and fun. We spoke with him over the phone before the wedding, sent him some song ideas, and he made magic. DJ Riel got all the guests pumped for our entrance into the reception and he kept the dance floor packed the whole evening. At the end of the reception one of the waiters at the venue came up to me said theyve served for many parties and our wedding was probably one of the best hes ever worked because he could tell all our guests were having such a good time and our DJ was phenomenal. The staff at Stitely was also really easy to work with, very friendly and well organized. Thanks for helping us pull off an amazing night!

Stitely Orchestra was such a great pick for our wedding! They not only had everything that we were looking for to see us through the entire day and night, but were so easy to work with and sounded great to top it off! Our ceremony, reception, and after hours were all at the same venue, but we wanted the music to fit the mood for each. We had a two piece band for the ceremony, a pianist for the cocktail hour, an indie band for dinner, rock band for dancing, and finally a DJ for our after hours. They were able to accommodate us perfectly! Working with Peggy on all the details was a breeze, she was so on top of everything and answered all of our questions and even provided suggestions on timing for the day. We received so many complements on the band, and are so happy we went with Stitely!

Jeff Stitely and his band are fantastic musicians. What I would really like to speak to, though, is the superb customer service they provided from day one through the end of the event. Jeff drove across town to meet us for breakfast to discuss what we were looking for in a band. We had not yet signed with them and were interviewing bands. From that moment on, the service never dropped off. Peggy was in touch at the times she said she would be and was great about following up. When we had a question, both Peggy and Jeff were extremely responsive and got us everything we needed. Throughout the night of our wedding, Jeff took everything in stride and made the evening seamless. We would both 100% recommend Jeff and his team. In a city where customer service seemed to be lacking, Jeff, Peggy and the rest of the team were fantastic and exceeded all expectations.

Very friendly and welcoming home office

We wanted to hire a wedding band that had great musicians, played with energy and passion, and would be responsive to our requests. Stitely overwhelmingly surpassed each of these expectations. Anyone who was able to walk stayed on the dance floor all night. I asked for 1 or 2 Dead songs, and I got 5 beautifully played Dead songs. Jeff met with us at least twice to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted, answered all emails, and had great suggestions. The compliments from our guests included unbelievable, kick a__, and amazing which made my wife and I look great for hiring them.

Very accommodating, and easy to work with. Definitely Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing. Jeff and his team were incredible to work with. Easy to get in contact with, laid back and extremely professional - and their musical abilities are unmatched. The quality of the music was awesome and they picked great songs. Our guests were on the dancefloor from 7-12 without any breaks, some people ate their dinners standing up so they wouldnt have to miss a song! We are still getting compliments on them.We really cant say enough about how great it was to work with them and have them at our wedding. Would HIGHLY recommend!

We recently worked with Stitely Entertainment for our wedding in Evanston in August. We used Stitely for piano/violin during our ceremony, piano during cocktail hour, and then a DJ and percussion (drummer) at the reception.We were extremely happy with how everything went. The planning process was pretty easy, as we were able to fill out timeline, song requests, etc for each part of the evening. If and when we did have any questions, a quick phone call provided a prompt response for anything we needed.Our DJ, Vince was fantastic. We met with him early in the planning process to give him an idea of what we wanted. Then a few weeks before the event he was happy to meet with us again to hammer out all the details of the party - what songs to play when, what songs we didnt want to hear, etc.The day of the event, everything was perfect. From the piano/violin playing the songs we requested before/after the ceremony, to the DJ and drummer keeping the dance floor filled all night. We would highly recommend the DJ/Drum combo as it brings a lot of live music energy to the room, even if you dont go with a full live band. Everyone that attended the wedding was very impressed with the music, which made the night a great party.Everyone that we worked with at Stitely was great. The owner, Jeff, made sure he was there at the first initial meetings to talk us through everything we wanted. He also followed up after the event to make sure everything went as well as possible.Wed highly recommend working with Stitely, whether you need live music for ceremony or reception.

The Stitely orchestra was fantastic at our wedding. They provided services during the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, as an MC, and dancing. The music was excellent, the timing was perfect, and our guests (and us!) were dancing throughout the night in no small part due to the fantastic set list and quality of the music. Throughout the entire planning process, Jeff and the Stitely Orchestra employees were professional and responsive to all of our needs. We particularly appreciated the flexibility in choosing a few songs for the band to learn - our first dance, and father/daughter, mother/son dances were perfect as a result of this.

I am an event planner for an investment bank, headquartered in Chicago. We host 50+ events a year and Ive used Stitely Entertainment for my musical needs for over two years. Since Ive been put in touch with Stitely Ive never had to look any further for bands, musicians, singers, etc. Their full bands are amazing, they can do every style and the band can be as large or as small as you would like. Stitely has provided us with a big band for a 20s themed party, a cover band for employee cocktail events and one of my favorites events we hosted was a blues night with legendary blues singer Jimmy Johnson. We have also used them for upscale cocktail events and had harpists, flutists, musical trios, etc. I highly, highly recommend Stitely for all of your musical needs!

I would highly recommend using Stitely Entertainment! We had 312 Chicago play the first part of the evening and then a DJ the last hour and half (all through Stitely), and both were amazing. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night....it was a blast!

The Stitely band we had for our wedding, Chicago Groove, provided great, entertaining music from start to finish! They were excellent in their choice of songs to play and timing of when to play fast or slow songs. I highly recommend a live band for your wedding, and I highly recommend you choose Stitely.

We went with Stitely and hired the Stephanie Rogers Band for our wedding. Stephanie and her band were amazing! They were every bit as awesome as we knew they would be! They were professional, high energy, so much fun, and sounded great! They really got our guests dancing....for all three hours! Everyone had so much fun dancing the night away! Every song was so great, it didnt matter if your heels were killing your feet, you could not sit down! Stephanie was also great at MCing the night for us. She helped us keep things organized and running smoothly. The whole night went flawlessly and was a blast! Stitely was also awesome to work with. The company and its reps were very professional and easy to work with. They were organized and had attention to detail so I knew I didnt have to worry about anything which was a huge stress reliever. Thanks so everyone for helping to make this an even happier and fun occasion!! I would HIGHLY recommend Stitely and the Stephanie Rogers band to anyone!

The Jeff Stitely Orchestrat was AMAZING at our wedding! They took care to make sure every important detail was taken care of and literally rocked the dance floor all night. We had about 300 guests at our wedding and from the moment the band started until they finished their last song, the dance floor was PACKED. We couldnt have asked for a better group of people to work with or a better band to make our wedding the special party we envisioned. Thanks Jeff Stitely Orchestra!!!

We hired Stitely to play at our wedding two weeks ago. We could not be happier. they were such a pleasure to work with during the planning process. They learned some news songs for us as well! We even enjoyed the selecting the songs that were important to be played at our wedding and hit them all. Everything from the flow of the music, the selection and their ability to get every guest on the dance floor was superb! The Beatles songs they did for our ceremony music made that moment very special to me. Thanks Jeff and your team for a wonderful night!

Stitely Entertainment exceeded our expectations for our wedding two weeks ago. Derrick and the Chicago Groove Collective totally rocked and made our reception quite the party. I never left the dance floor and cannot remember having so much fun! Jeff and the Stitely team were great to work with leading up to our big day and accomodated all of our wishes. I would recommend them to anyone looking for live music at any event!

At our wedding, all the guests were dancing the entire night!! A couple of my husbands uncles who never dance were even dancing! It was fantastic! Right from the start Jeff and his team give top notch sercive. You will feel like you have everything undercontrol with the music, they are willing to answer any question at pretty much anytime (a few days before the wedding I received an email from Jeff at 9:30pm!). At the wedding they were amazing! We have received so many compliments and people have asked for their info for other friends and family. My advice to any bride is BOOK THIS BAND! They will get all the guests on the dance floor and create a great party!

We hired Stitely Entertainment to DJ our wedding reception as well as record sound for the ceremony, cocktails, and reception. Everyone had a blast! Stitely Entertainments entire staff was very knowledgeable and professional. Everything from pre-planning all the way until the end of the night was absolutely perfect! Thanks Stitely!

Kyle was the DJ for our wedding back in May and he really kept people out on the dance floor! He did a great job and a ton of my friends commented that the music was great. Plus he was great with MC duties and stayed off the mic otherwise (I hate when DJs are constantly talking during the reception).We live out of town (Boston) so Kyle Skyped with us to get a sense of what we liked and didnt like. He was easy going and cool throughout the process. We would recommend him (and Stitely in general) wholeheartedly!

The Stitely Orchestra was amazing !!! Jeff and John made our wedding into an unforgettable concert that all ages could boogie to. We had friends and family members that normally avoid dancing but Stitely made it irresistible. The wide range of songs to choose from was impressive. The band brought the funk and really rocked the house jamming through the night. It was a non stop party. People are still complimenting They nailed the songs that they learned for us. My wife and I are already planning on the next event to have the band at. Perhaps my 40th birthday but Im not sure I can wait that long. THESE GUYS CRUSHED IT !thanks !!!
