When Emily and Ben were planning their Chicago wedding, they made sure to incorporate important traditions from her home state of Pennsylvania: homemade cookies and premier Pittsburgh wedding band, the John Parker Band! The band was a huge hit at the couple’s rustic chic outdoor wedding and reception at the Galleria Marchetti, an exquisite wedding venue in the heart of Chicago. The evening’s photographer, Olivia Leigh described the reception as “one of the most epic dance parties I photographed this year.” EVERYBODY got out on the dance floor to celebrate with this fun couple. One guest even joined the band on stage during We Are Young, a song the band learned and performed just for the newlyweds, and the bride’s mom shared a family tradition by singing along with the band to New York, New York!

“I had so many people approach me that night, referring to the band, saying “best….decision….of your life”. I might argue that my new husband was the BEST decision, but you and your band were definitely a close second. You far exceeded our expectations!” – Bride Emily

Thank you to Olivia Leigh for sharing these incredible photos of the evening, and congratulations to Emily & Ben!

Nestled along the remote and pristine haven of silky sand and unspoiled vistas that is Amelia Island, is the impeccable Ritz Carlton Amelia Island and its breathtaking grounds. A genuine storybook setting for a wedding, which turned into reality when Stephanie & Seth celebrated their wedding ceremony and reception there recently.

Of performing at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island, John Parker says “Entertaining at Ritz-Carlton hotels is always a flawless experience. Their unparalleled customer service and attention to detail are a perfect fit for my OCD personality (laughs). Everything is just so, and brides and their families can count, unequivocally, on having a stellar and unforgettable wedding celebration.”

Stephanie and Seth’s wedding was no exception. Featured in the Spring 2011 issue of Amelia Island Weddings, their big day was one to celebrate. With Palm Beach’s John Parker Band performing, the Bride and Groom and their guests danced the night away. “I loved the music, and the whole evening was upbeat and memorable,” Mother of the Bride Dianne later commented.

Amelia Island Photographer Holly Allain captured images while “the John Parker Band had everyone dancing” (Amelia Island Weddings p 17)!
