What an unforgettable celebration! The Schwartz wedding at the Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel was full of energy, joy, and non-stop dancing from start to finish. From the first notes of the ceremony to the final beats of the after-party, every moment was filled with music, love, and excitement.

The day began with a live violin and piano duo for the ceremony, setting an elegant and emotional tone as guests took their seats. A jazz duo carried the vibe seamlessly into cocktail hour, creating a relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere while everyone mingled.

wedding ceremony recessional — The newlyweds beam with excitement as they make their grand exit down the aisle, surrounded by cheering friends and family at the elegant Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel. Soft blush florals and modern décor set the tone for a stunning celebration. Our band, **Funktastic Productions**, brought the energy later in the night, keeping the dance floor packed and the celebration unforgettable.

As the reception began, guests entered the ballroom to the sounds of Stevie Wonder’s “Sir Duke”, performed live by our 11-piece Funktastic Productions band—complete with horns, strings, and our rapper bringing an extra burst of energy.

After the band played a few songs, the new Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz made their grand entrance to “Feel So Close” by Calvin Harris, setting the tone for the night. Their first dance to “Loving You Easy” by Zac Brown Band was a perfect reflection of their fun and easygoing love—especially as they invited everyone to join them on the dance floor for the final choruses.

The family dances followed throughout the night, starting each dance set with heartfelt moments:

Father/Daughter Dance: “My Wish” – Rascal Flatts
Mother/Son Dance: “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” – Elton John

The night carried that East Coast wedding energy with dancing between courses, laughter, and music that brought everyone together. Once dinner wrapped up, the party reached another level with our band keeping the floor packed all night long.

And just when guests thought it couldn’t get any better—our late-night DJ after-party took over, keeping the celebration alive into the early hours.

From timeless ceremony moments to high-energy dance floor vibes, this was truly the kind of party everyone will be talking about for years.
