University Club of Chicago Wedding 3/14/09

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

University Club of Chicago Wedding 9/6/08

We never have a less than extraordinary wedding at the University Club of Chicago, but last Saturday’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’t one song without a completely packed dance floor. The bride’s comment at the end of the night was “You guys were incredible! I just don’t know why anybody would consider hiring any other band!” which, of course, was great for us to hear!

University Club of Chicago Wedding 3/8/08

We sure had fun at last Saturday’s wedding at the University Club of Chicago! We were in the Michigan room, which is beautifully decorated with wood paneling and ceiling paintings in a sort of Renaissance style. If you’re looking for a venue for your wedding, the University Club is a great choice, and we play weddings there frequently.

The bride and groom chose Our Love is Here to Stay for their bridal dance, followed by The Way You Look Tonight for a combined father/daughter and mother/son dance. Completely switching gears, we invited the rest of the guests to the dance floor with Let’s Get it Started by the Black Eyed Peas, which kicked off three straight hours of continuous music and dancing. At the end of the party, the groom commented to me that not only did their guests have a blast, but we looked like we did too. We always do, and I never have more fun than I do playing with our band!

Here’s what the bride had to say:

“Both Paul and I were thrilled with the way our wedding turned out. Everything ran smoothly, and everyone had a great time – we thank the Peter Hennes Orchestra for a large part of that. We keep getting comments from guests such as “what a great band!” “I have never had so much fun at a wedding!” and “the night just went by too fast.” Thanks for all that you did to help plan and execute an absolutely wonderful event!” – Elizabeth Galanis
