“Talk to Jeff Stitely!!”
“Jeff provided a band for my daughter's wedding. OUTSTANDING - sensational music!! We danced until we wore out the floor :-) A band costs a lot more than a DJ, but if you can see your financial way to the unforgettable experience, do it. My recommendation: Talk to Jeff Stitely!!”

“Bridging the generation gap between our guests.”
“Thank you to Stitely Entertainment for the entertainment you provided for the 350 guests at Temple Sholom’s Gala last night. The music played a key role in bridging the generation gap between our guests in their 20s to our eldest members in their 80s. Thank you so much for helping to make Gala 2010 a night to remember! I look forward to working with you on many future events.”
– Beth Bernstein, President, Sine Qua Non: Special Events, LLC
“A breath of fresh air from start to finish.”
“Working with Stitely Entertainment was a breath of fresh air from start to finish. It was so reassuring knowing that Stitely had total control and nothing was left untouched. This simply does not happen with other entertainment booking agents and therefore from a planner’s perspective, they were terrific. Oh yeah, and the actual performance...top notch!!”
– Jeffrey Devine, President, Convention Management The Hybrid Group – Chicago
“My company wanted an interactive event…it was a huge success.”
“I just wanted to thank you for the amazing entertainment you provided at our live band karaoke event. First and foremost, my company wanted an interactive event and it was at your suggestion that we considered live band karaoke. Not only was it a huge success and everyone had so much fun, I’ve been told by so many employees that I will never be able to top that event. Being able to have the video you put together of clips of each singer is amazing as well, while pictures are great, a video with sound for a karaoke night is priceless! Thanks again, you are as always my go-to for music at all of my venues and this event is the definition of why I only call you!”

“Soaked to the bone from all the dancing.”
“CGC was badass; everyone is still talking about how great they were. Thanks for coming through in the clutch. They were like Paxson draining jumpers over Magic and the Lakers. Really great times were had by all and I was completely soaked to the bone from all the dancing. Some of the guys told me their feet hurt for a week cause they danced so much. It was awesome and if I ever hire a band for anything I do again it will be the CGC. It was the best decision I made next to getting married.”
– Jack
“It was sick!”
“Derek rocked and he nailed the requests unbelievably. Some people couldn't believe it was a cover band, they thought it was the real deal. Let me tell you, I had two 80 something year olds tell us it was the best wedding ever and I got to guess they have been to a few. If there is anyone who needs a referral I will gladly assist on telling them about the CGC…Thanks again for the awesome throw down. It was sick!”
– Jack
“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with the Stitely Entertainment and the Chicago Groove Collective for our wedding…Our dance floor was full all night and they did a great job with the new songs we asked them to learn.

”The investment of a lifetime.”
“Hands down the best band I've heard live. The music was just what the mood required. We never once wondered, "why are they playing that?" They facilitated a non-stop frenzy of family and friends dancing and smiling. Chicago Groove Collective was the investment of a lifetime. All week long I could hear the music in my head and I thought about how fun my own wedding was!"
– Stephanie
“The best wedding band they have ever had the pleasure to hear.”

I had always dreamed that my wedding would involve lots of people dancing and having a good time, but I never imagined everyone on the dance floor at the same time. You and the band were absolutely amazing. Everyone was so friendly and professional and you were so receptive to the mood of the crowd! Thanks so much for helping make our wedding day so special."

“Easy going and cool throughout the process.”
“Kyle was the DJ for our wedding back in May and he really kept people out on the dance floor! He did a great job and a ton of my friends commented that the music was great. Plus he was great with MC duties and stayed off the mic otherwise. Kyle Skyped with us to get a sense of what we liked and didn't like. He was easy going and cool throughout the process. We would recommend him, and Stitely in general wholeheartedly!”
– Kevin S.
“Close to 100 continuously on the dance floor.”
