A great wedding and a rockin’ good time at the Ritz Carlton with one of our favorite wedding planners Ali Phillips! Here’s what the mother of the bride had to say:
“Peter Hennes’s Orchestra rocks! Our daughter wanted an elegant and fun wedding, and we knew that a great orchestra was key. Peter delivered! The dance floor was full the entire night. They played one song after another, so there was no down time. The vocalists are excellent. Wonderful voices!” – Gail Hasbrouck

We played a really fun 38th Anniversary party at the Swissotel in downtown Chicago on 8/8/09. Never heard of a 38th Anniversary party? In their speech at the beginning of the evening, the anniversary couple said that they had been looking for an excuse to have a party with the Peter Hennes Orchestra ever since we played their daughter’s wedding three years ago. All I can say is, it’s great to have dedicated fans!
We got a request for the Rolling Stones, and we aim to please! Greg and Peter do their best Mick and Keith impressions on Start Me Up with backup vocals by our incomparable Shawn Christopher. This was recorded with just the camera audio.

From the parents of the bride:
“We just wanted to thank you for the unbelievable music at Jodi and Kevin’s wedding. You had the dance floor crowded the whole night. We know we added an extra half an hour, but if you stayed longer the people would have danced all night. We have had so many people ask “Who was that Orchestra?” They have never heard anything like it in their lives! Your band definitely made the evening perfect. Thank you so much.” – David and Barbara Menn

We’re always pleased when the Peter Hennes Orchestra is asked to help with the fund raising efforts of charitable organizations, and we were thrilled to play at the Palmer House Hilton on 4/18/09 for the American Heart Association’s Chicago Heart Ball. After a two and a half hour dinner and a program including videos, speeches, and a live auction, the guests were ready to party, and we rocked the house with a packed dance floor until midnight! It was a truly fantastic evening supporting a great cause, and we were honored to have been chosen to be a part of it!
