A guide to booking

Hire Wedding Singers in Chicago, Illinois, United States

Live vocal performances add a personal quality to weddings that playlists and speakers cannot match. Professional wedding singers near you cover a broad mix of genres, from jazz and soul standards to modern chart hits, and most will tailor their setlist to suit your celebration. Whether you need a gentle acoustic set during the ceremony or high-energy entertainment for the evening, local vocalists can adapt their style to each part of the day.

Choosing a Wedding Vocalist Near You

When shortlisting singers in your area, listen to audio and video samples to get a sense of their vocal style and stage presence. Check whether they provide their own PA and microphone, as this can affect the overall cost. If your venue has sound restrictions or limited power supply, confirm the performer's setup requirements before booking. Most wedding vocalists are happy to learn one or two songs for special moments, so discuss any requests early to give them preparation time.

Wedding Singer Pricing in Chicago

Wedding singers in Chicago currently range from $130 to $1,600+, with $450 representing the typical rate. Pricing depends on performance length, the number of sets, equipment provision and travel distance. Solo performers with backing tracks generally cost less than singers who bring a live guitarist or pianist.

His flute playing added a beautiful and elegant touch to the ceremony, creating a serene atmosphere that perfectly complemented the special occasion. It was so highly complimented! From the first note, it was clear that Raju is incredibly talented and professional. He played a wonderful selection of music, effortlessly transitioning between pieces that resonated with both the couple and the guests. Many attendees commented on how lovely the music was, and it truly elevated the entire experience. If you're looking for a talented and reliable musician for any event, Raju is the perfect choice!" Based in Chicago, Illinois Abid Rizvi - Wedding Receotion Photo of Jerry Armstrong Tribute Artist Jerry Armstrong Tribute Artist "Jerry did an amazing job! He was on time and brought all of his equipment, he knew all the songs and sang them very well. He interacted with the crowd, he was very friendly and funny. I would definitely hire him again. -Rachel W, Tinley Park, IL" Based in Chicago, Illinois Rachel W - Birthday Party Photo of Rhythm Rockets Rhythm Rockets "It’s quite possible to stroll right past the place while navigating West Kinzie Street, just a wee bit north of the Chicago River, and not even realize it. The only concrete clue that you’ve arrived at your destination is the sight of a black canvas entrance emblazoned with the curious moniker of the joint. It’s called Untitled, and that handle is purposely nondescript, only adding to the overall mystique of the nightspot. Head down a short flight of stairs, say hello to the doorman (there’s no cover), and you’ll find that Untitled offers a welcoming hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the Loop, which sits only a few blocks south on the other side of the river. During the Prohibition era, speakeasies dotted the Windy City landscape where those so inclined could quaff an alcoholic libation or two while securely hidden away from the long arm of the law. But those long-ago speaks were never this spacious or glamorously appointed. Make no mistake: this is a classy operation all the way, so you won’t spy any tennis shoes or sweatsuits sullying the polished dance floor. When the Rhythm Rockets take the stage at Untitled, as they’ve been doing on the second Wednesday evening of every month for a while now starting at 7:30 p.m. and going strong for three hours, the joint proceeds to jump to a barrage of eminently danceable rhythms. The music meshes perfectly with the delicious food and cool drinks that can be ordered by summoning your lovely waitress. You can dine on such delicacies as steak tartare, sea scallops, and mushroom tortellini, and top your feast off with a scrumptious slice of whoopee pie, a blend of dark chocolate-espresso cake, peanut butter mousse, and powdered sugar. There was a fair amount of dancing happening during the Rhythm Rockets’ most recent Untitled engagement, but most of the sizable crowd was content to soak in the swinging soiree at their tables or from their barstools. The sound quality was exceptionally crisp and full-bodied all night long; Dave Downer’s concise guitar licks sliced through the air with authority, and Nicole Kestler’s delightful vocals were mixed at precisely the right level for maximum enjoyment as she sailed through longtime Rhythm Rockets favorites that included Little Esther’s “Oo Papa Do,” the relaxed pre-war blues lament “Trouble In Mind,” and the band’s scorching arrangement of Ruth Brown’s “(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean” that they often use as a set closer. The sizzling sax section (tenors Michael Bielecki and Vince Salerno and baritone Justin Kierans) was tight and right throughout the evening, and the rock-solid combination of bassist Lou Marini and drummer Mark Fornek kept the grooves hitting on all cylinders. Mark usually sings a song or two on each set prior to Nicole’s entrance, and now he’s previewing a few Chicago blues numbers that he’s also singing with Dave’s new side band, the Five Alibis. Vince switched over to harmonica to give Little Walter’s ominous “I Don’t Play” an authentic Chicago blues sound, although the horns returned when Mark launched into Junior Wells’ playful shuffle “The Things I’d Do For You.” If you’re anywhere near River North on the second Wednesday of this or any month in the near future, take a walk down Kinzie and seek out Untitled, even if you have to look hard for it. It’s altogether worth the effort--and a great place to check out the Rhythm Rockets doing what they do best!" Based in Chicago, Illinois Bill Dahl - Public Show Photo of Edgar Johnson Saxophonist Edgar Johnson Saxophonist "Edgar arrived at the venue early to set up. Edgar was dressed professional and performed the Saxophone at a professional level that was beyond OUTSTANDING! Edgar is operating in his gift! You will not be disappointed if you book Mr. Edgar Johnson." Based in Lansing, Illinois (21 miles from Chicago) 14th September 2026 Lexus - Wedding
