Maybe it's an intimate ceremony in Lincoln Park with just strings. Maybe it's a full 14-piece moment at Navy Pier. We'll sit with you, listen to your vision, and build the right shape for your day.
Send us your first dance, your parents' songs, the one your grandmother used to hum. We rehearse them — really rehearse them — in our Chicago studio, weeks before your wedding. So when the moment comes, it sounds like the version that lives in your memory.
We watch the floor. We feel the energy. When your uncle's having the night of his life, we extend the set. When the room needs a breath, we give it one. You don't have to manage us. That's our job — and our joy.
Music, lighting, afterparty, even the late-night taco truck — all coordinated through our parent company, Biossat. So you can be present at your own wedding, not running it.
Sway is a scalable live band of 7 to 15 pieces. The core is keys, bass, drums, guitar, and 3 to 5 vocalists, and we can add 1 to 4 horns and 1 to 3 violins. We build the format around your room, your program, and your audience, from a jazz trio for a private dinner to a full band for a large gala.

Once you decide Sway Chicago is your entertainment of choice, we will send you a simple 1 page contract based off the initial proposal that we agreed upon. If the contract is agreeable, then typically, a downpayment of 50% is required at the time of a contract signing.
We do have limited liability insurance. If a venue needs to be named on the policy for a specific event, our insurance company will issue a COI of our policy, including who needs to be named on the certificate.
