			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even though we were outside for four hours without a break in ninety degree heat at our wedding at the Brookfield Zoo on 7/17/10, we managed to have a rockin&#8217; good time! The mother of the groom commented:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am speechless……literally (I lost my voice from a long night of screaming!). You guys blew everyone away. Not only are you all amazing musicians, but your joy and enthusiasm was palpable and infectious. Please, please add us to your list of references so we can gush to everyone. </p>
<p>Not sure if anyone expressed this in the chaos of the evening, but bride, groom, and both families thank you with all our hearts for helping to make an already magical evening even more amazing. We’ll be talking about it for a long, long time. You rock!&#8221;</p>
<p>Gratefully,<br />
-Gail Weisman

<blockquote><p>&#8220;Peter, You and your band were&#8230;fantastic! My daughter&#8217;s wish for her wedding was that people would get up and dance and have a great time. They certainly did that! Your choice of music was perfect for the entire<br />
group &#8211; from 14 year olds to 82 year olds. You kept everyone up and dancing and certainly set the mood for the entire reception.Your vocalists and musicians were outstanding! We can&#8217;t thank you enough. It was very difficult planning a wedding long distance but everything worked out beautifully. I know Emily and Jeff are going to write to you when they get back from their honeymoon. They had a great wedding. Thank you!&#8221; &#8211; Susan Swan</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Peter,<br />
Rich and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the Talented Peter Hennes Orchestra. Wow, you guys knocked everyone&#8217;s socks off ( you definitely knocked our feet off )! We had such a great time dancing. The energy provided by you and the band was amazing! Rich and I said when we were planning this that if everyone was on the dance floor then it would be a perfect &#8220;party&#8221;. Well, you couldn&#8217;t get one more person on that floor.  Everyone we talked to after the evening commented on the great music. The selection of the band was our hardest choice when planning our wedding and we are so happy we chose you and your talented group. Many thanks for a memorable reception!<br />
Patty and Rich</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were at the <a href="http://www.westinchicago.com/">Westin River North</a> for another fabulous wedding on 11/15/08. If you&#8217;re looking for a large downtown Chicago ballroom for your wedding or corporate event with a beautiful, modern architectural flair, you can do no better than the Westin Chicago River North Grand Ballroom. We absolutely love playing there, and the Catering Manager, Jessica Jordan (312-744-1900), is a pleasure to work with. From the bride:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Peter Hennes Orchestra really helped make our wedding truly special and unbelievably FUN!! The eleven piece orchestra, led by master of ceremonies Peter Hennes, had everyone on the dance floor the entire night and left people wanting more! I had numerous guests remarking how great the band was, and we all loved when the singers came onto the dance floor and let everyone get involved! The band and night were unforgettable! Thank you for making our wedding so special!&#8221; &#8211; Maureen and Bryan Burk</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.peterhennes.com/blog/wp-content/themes/vertigo-blue-squared-30/images/uc9608.jpg" alt="trio" />We never have a less than extraordinary wedding at the University Club of Chicago, but last Saturday&#8217;s was truly phenomenal! We were in Cathedral Hall, which looks like the interior of a medieval cathedral. After playing three short dance sets during dinner, the band rocked the house for four hours straight without a break, and there wasn&#8217;t one song without a completely packed dance floor. The bride&#8217;s comment at the end of the night was &#8220;You guys were incredible! I just don&#8217;t know why anybody would consider hiring any other band!&#8221; which, of course, was great for us to hear!</p>

<blockquote><p>Peter,</p>
<p>All I can say is &#8220;Wow.&#8221;  Seriously &#8230; &#8220;wow.&#8221;  Jim and I were floored with your performance last night.  Your execution, delivery, professionalism, and talent made for a truly seamless night.  We were honored to have you and your EXTREMELY talented group of individuals share in our celebration.  If it wasn&#8217;t for you and your group, our celebration would have been incomplete.  Aside from comments from our guests along the lines of &#8220;Best Wedding Band Ever,&#8221; &#8220;Where did you find them?&#8221;, &#8220;They are incredible!&#8221;, etc., etc., my mother said to me today, &#8220;Do you know who I really liked meeting yesterday?&#8221;  And I said, &#8220;No, who?&#8221;  And she said, &#8220;Peter Hennes.  He was so nice!&#8221;  </p>
<p>You and your group were everything I dreamed of and more.  </p>
<p>Thank you for everything, and we hope that you and your group are as proud of yourselves as we are to have had you with us last night.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We played an exceptionally elegant wedding last Saturday in the International Ballroom at the Fairmont with one of our favorite wedding consultants Linda Alpert. The client added our violin section to the band for everything from the ceremony through the dancing. I have to say that the sound of the eleven piece band with a violin section is absolutely stunning! From Sinatra to the current hits, there are strings on the original recordings of most of the music we play, so having the ability to make the band sound so close to the originals is really a treat! If it&#8217;s in your wedding budget, the violin section is really a great addition and is highly recommended!</p>
