We played another exceptional wedding at the Chicago Peninsula Hotel on 5/25/08! It’s always a pleasure working with wedding consultant Reva Nathan. Her events always look beautiful, are meticulously planned and flawlessly executed.

Highlights of the evening included our pianist Paul Mutzabaugh’s note perfect coordination of six Jewish songs with the cantor from across the ballroom during the ceremony, the band’s surprisingly rockin’ version of Savage Garden’s “Truly, Madly, Deeply” for the bridal dance, and our rendition of the Allman Brothers song “Sweet Melissa” as a special request from the groom for the bride (yes, her name was Melissa). This was a wedding with dancing between courses, and the Peter Hennes Orchestra had the dance floor packed from the moment the doors opened!

Here’s what the parents of the bride had to say:

“Oh What a Night!”
Dear Peter,
Thank you for helping to make Melissa and Jason’s wedding a dream come true. We can only tell you we had nothing but rave reviews on your band! Thanks for a job well done!” – Joy and Ron Mayer
