Fantasia Band

My husband and I hired the band Fantasia for our wedding. Their performance was amazing! They had excellent song selections, they are extremely talented, and kept our guests up and dancing the entire time. They were very knowledgeable with the process and made everything stress free for us. Our family and friends still cannot stop talking about how much they loved Fantasia and had the best time dancing at our wedding. I highly recommend hiring Fantasia for your special day!

Frank and the whole band were simply fantastic! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an entertaining band in and around Chicago. Here are my top takeaways: - Frank was super responsive leading up to the wedding. His experience made a big difference in helping us pick our song list and coordinate the evening’s schedule. He was also very patient and responsive - The band had an extensive song selection across multiple genres and decades - They did an excellent 25 minute hora, which was perfect for our Jewish wedding - They handled all musical logistics throughout the evening, including the ceremony and cocktail hour, playing preselected songs from an iPod - The price is really competitive with other bands in Chicago and I feel we got good value - Most importantly, everybody was up and dancing and had a great time, in no small part because of the great live music!

We are so glad we picked Fantasia for our wedding band! They did an amazing job. Everyone enjoyed their music and was dancing all night. We received tons of compliments about them from our guests. Frank was easy going and great to work with. We requested for them to play a song not on their playlist, and they were more than happy to learn the sheet music and work with us to make sure it went well. We are so appreciative of them going above and beyond for us. From our conversations with Frank, it felt like Fantasia is made up of great people who just love to play music. They were exactly what we were looking for in a band! Thank you, Fantasia!

Finding a live band for the wedding was probably one of the more challenging pieces of the puzzle. We wanted a 5-7 piece band that played enough variety for our crowd of all ages. After a good 100 emails and finally peaking in on one of their performances, we chose Fantasia. It was a tad more competitive to find a band due to the competing holiday parties in December. In fact, we were lucky to book them as their client booked them 11 years in a row on our wedding weekend date and they changed the pattern.. My H and I planned on playing the "now" music during the 30 minute breaks, cocktail hour and also during dinner. The band learned our first dance "Im Yours"-Jason Mraz and even sent us a demo with new music updates with songs from Black Eye Peas, Lady Antelbellum, and Michael Buble. They knew all the classics, too, and kept people on the dance floor all night. Frank, the main contact, was always a pleasure to work with and did not flinch at all the correspondance I sent before booking and after. We feel that they were the icing on the cake on a perfect wedding day. Having live music during the cocktail hour and after dinner really wow'd the guests. They also played a special memorial song as one of the special dances and did a superb job. As a side note, they do know a lot of Italian songs if you were looking for something like that. The best of this group is that they did not have the arrogance that some other area orchestras/band had when I was doing my initial search. Even thoug this group is incredibly talented, they are very down-to-earth and eager to please the client. It's no wonder they have been successful so over 30 years!
