FAQs 16

How early do you guys book up?
We start receiving Chicago wedding band inquiries 12-18 months prior to the event. Standing Room Only prioritizes quality over quantity and doesn’t send out multiple bands on the same evening so once we are booked, we are booked.
What is the instrumental configuration of each ensemble size?
Each band has a rhythm section of guitar, bass, drums, keys. Also a male and female singer. As the size of the band grows, horns are added, then lastly our 10 piece band adds an additional singer. SRO works with the client to customize the perfect band size.
Do you travel outside of the Chicagoland area? How far?
We are a Chicago-based ensemble but love to take the party outside of Illinois and throughout the Midwest. Have a destination wedding or corporate event away from home? Count us in, we love to travel.
How can I see the band perform before I book them?
We keep our website videos current and take videos of the crowd at each gig. We typically do not play in clubs or restaurants; most of our events are private. Invite-only private viewing of the band is available based on the event.
Can the band play the ceremony and/or cocktail hour, too?
Definitely. We can provide piano music, guitar music, strings, trumpet, flute, or vocalists.
