			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Adler Planetarium is a fabulous venue for a wedding with some of the most incredible views of the Chicago skyline I&#8217;ve ever seen. Here&#8217;s what the groom had to say about our performance:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Peter Hennes Orchestra is an extraordinary band. They played at my wedding and blew everyone away. Their music is so seductively great they got everyone dancing from the very get go. And at midnight the crowd was chanting &#8220;One more hour, one more hour!&#8221; An overwhelming number of guests said it was the best wedding band they&#8217;ve ever seen. I think they&#8217;re simply one of the best BANDS I&#8217;ve ever seen. Furthermore, Peter is a class act. As much talent as he brings to the table, he knows exactly how to put the focus on you and your guests during speeches and other such wedding traditions. He provides a most graceful segue for these moments, and then effortlessly brings the party back to a high octane celebration. Hire the Peter Hennes Orchestra and do not look back!</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s a video of our last song of the evening, which was Don&#8217;t Stop Believin&#8217;.  I love how the crowd starts chanting &#8220;one more hour, one more hour&#8221; at the end!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Peter Hennes Orchestra had the dance floor packed the entire night on 8/21/10 at the Hotel Intercontinental Grand Ballroom in downtown Chicago! </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a thank you from our client. Carey and Mitch, we had an absolute blast playing for you!</p>
<blockquote><p>Peter,<br />
Thank you so much for all you did to make our wedding day such a success! I have never heard so many raves on a wedding band as I have gotten about you &#8211; and rightfully so! Your band&#8217;s energy is so magnetic &#8211; it was impossible to leave the dance floor! You definitely brought the FUN that we wanted for our reception. You are also a pleasure to work with. I appreciate your honesty, professionalism and respect. In a field full of gimmicks and overly showy folks, you and your band are a breath of fresh air! Thank you for everything and I hope our paths cross again! Carey and Mitch</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s some feedback from our 8/7/10 client:</p>
<blockquote><p>
&#8220;Words cannot even begin to express how AMAZING we thought the Peter Hennes Orchestra was at our wedding on August 7th. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.  Feedback has been extraordinary—the first comment out of every single person’s mouth is…”Your band was unbelievable.”  The fact that the venue was a little hot that evening didn’t stop anyone from dancing—the floor was packed the entire evening with young and old….it was your music that got everyone in the right mindset to party through the heat and have a great time.  I loved how your singers came out on the dance floor and allowed our guests to sing – even your singers dance moves were coordinated.  PHO completely blew us away! Peter, if there is anything I can ever do to help support PHO, please let Keith, me or our parents know.  Our reception would not have been a smashing hit without your group.</p>
<p>Thanks again from the bottom of my heart.&#8221;<br />
Peggy Baxter</p></blockquote>

			<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 />

<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>
