  • High Society Orchestra (Within 150 miles of Chicago)
    Packing the Dance Floor Since 1993

    High Society Orchestra logo You've dreamed your event down to the smallest detail.

    Now, let High Society Orchestra help make your dream a reality!

    Since 1993 the High Society Orchestra has been helping its clients create the events of their dreams.

    We do this by providing exceptional musical entertainment designed to match your unique vision.

    We do not use any cookie cutters in our planning process!

    Many bands try to force their formula and agenda into all situations. The High Society Orchestra is different. We start by listening to your ideas, concerns and desires. Once we are positive we understand your vision, we make it our mission to create the event of your dreams.

    We believe it is this concern and attention to detail (along with the special moments created) that has made the High Society Orchestra one of the most sought after high energy dance bands for extraordinary weddings, parties, galas, and corporate events in Chicago and the surrounding area.

    Need music for your ceremony and cocktail or dinner hours? We are specialists in this area too!

    Are you ready to share your dream with us?

    We're ready to listen!

    DON'T BE FOOLED BY BAND WEBSITES THAT ONLY SHOW VIDEOS OF PACKED DANCE FLOORS!

    How can you judge what the band sounds and looks like unless you see them in a video or performing live? How do you even know if this is the band that you are hiring?

    Check out our website www.highsocietyorch.com for video of our band live and also for videos of wedding dance floors we’ve packed.

    Like what you see?

    THE BEST WAY TO CHOOSE A BAND IS TO SEE THEM PERFORM LIVE AT A WEDDING

    Many band leaders will tell you that brides don't want anyone to come hear the band at their wedding. Our brides are happy to allow us to invite one appropriately dressed couple to discretely check out the band for a few minutes.

    MOST BANDS DON'T WANT YOU TO HEAR THEM LIVE. WE DO!

    We want you to see, hear and experience the HIGH SOCIETY ORCHESTRA.

    FIND OUT WHY THE KNOT BRIDAL MAGAZINE SELECTED HIGH SOCIETY AS ONE OF THE TOP WEDDING BANDS IN CHICAGO.

  • Kari Gardner - Harpist
    beautiful harp, beautiful music, beautiful wedding
    www.blackandgoldharp.com

    "On my engagement night, I relied on Kari Gardner and her beautiful music, to create the perfect mood. I surprised my fiance to be by asking her to escort me with a glass of wine to the rooftop of our condo building. What Lori heard upon setting foot on our rooftop overlooking the skyscrapers of Chicago and Lake Michigan on a gorgeous summer evening, was the soothing and emotionally enriched music from Kari's harp. Kari's music enhanced the special emotions that my fiance and I were about to experience. I proceeded to ask Lori to marry me and spent the next few hours enjoying the scene, eating dinner, and listening to nearly every romantic song that one could think of under the stars. Kari's professionalism, ability to play a wide-range of songs, and overall skill were extremely impressive. Without her music, this most important evening simply would not have been the same."
