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!

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

Chicago Heart BallWe’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!

We played another fantastic wedding at the University Club of Chicago on 3/14/09. Here’s what the bride and groom had to say:

Peter,
Rich and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the Talented Peter Hennes Orchestra. Wow, you guys knocked everyone’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 “party”. Well, you couldn’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!
Patty and Rich

Barbara StephanThe Peter Hennes Orchestra has some of the most talented musicians and singers in the Chicago area, and when they’re not playing with the band, some of them are working on their original music. I just wanted to take a moment to recommend some fantastic albums done by our band members. Give yourself a listening treat and check out Frank’s band The Renegades, and Barbara’s album. I feel truly fortunate to have such great players, singers and composers in our band!

We were at the Westin River North for another fabulous wedding on 11/15/08. If you’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:

“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!” – Maureen and Bryan Burk
