Dear Mike,

We would like to thank you and your band for making our wedding so incredible! We were amazed by the variety of songs you played and how well you played them, as were our guests! You had the dance floor packed the entire night- just what we were hoping for. Thank you for making our wedding a night we will never forget! We have never partied so hard! Thank you for coming out in the blizzard of ‘09! Your passion and intensity is undeniable!!

Many thanks,

Michelle & Anthony

P.S. Thank you for taking the time to rehearse and communicate with my friends. You truly went above and beyond in making our wedding so personal and creative! Thank you!!!

Grace and Marko

Hi Pete,

Thank you so much for your note. I actually just got back to the office and was going to email you, as well- I wanted to thank you so much for being a big part of such a special night for Marko and me and all of our friends and family! You all played so perfectly, everyone was raving, I got so many compliments about the fabulous band! I appreciate that you really took our preferences into account and I remember thinking “I love that song” at the beginning of every song you all played! And I’m sure you could tell from the very full dance floor that everyone else felt the same!

And thank you also for taking the time to talk with my mother and me before the wedding, it really meant a lot to us both that you took the time to go through all of the details with us. With so many moving parts and stressors around a wedding, it was really very nice to have major component that we were both so comfortable with.

Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you!

Best,

Grace

Michael,

There are just no words that do justice to your talent, professionalism, and sheer kindness. The ceremony was unreal! Everyone was overwhelmed by the music and spirit that you created. I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams that you could play The Beatles to perfection with strings. It was so moving, and you have no idea how many people are calling us up to tell us that. The cocktail hour and the ballroom were also a dream come true. The dance floor was full… I didn’t even have to walk around the room to greet people. You brought them to me! How great is that?!?

I really could go on and on and on…. but like I said, I cannot do justice to how special you made the evening. Please thank everyone on your team from the bottom of my heart. I hope I only have one wedding, but I will find a way somehow to work with you in the future. I think you are an amazing talent and person! There will always be a special place in my heart for Michael Hart!

Harris, What can I say? You make dreams come true. We are honored to work with your company, and thank you for taking the time to go the extra mile for my family. We truly appreciate it.

Warmest regards,

Amy

Courtney and Matthew

Michael you and your band were just wonderful tonight! Thank you for your excellent communications and feedback throughout and for making Courtney and Matthews wedding such a spirited celebration.

Looking forward to the next time we work together,

Alyssa and Jed

Michael,

I don’ t think I had a chance to thank you and your band last night. We’ve seen you guys at two previous weddings, but you still managed to exceed our expectations. Thank you for everything- I hope you had fun doing what you do and I hope to cross paths at any wedding where I can recommend you guys.

Thanks again,

Alyssa and Jed

PS- “As” and “Warm Love” were incredible. You nailed it.

Wedding Music: 5 Re-discovered Songs from the 1980’s by Hank Lane Music band leader Michael Hart

Hank Lane Music band leader Michael Hart has rediscovered some musical gems from the 1980s. In the wedding and party business, being on top of the latest trends is extremely crucial. According to Michael, “For a long time, music from the 1980’s has been very popular at parties.” Songs by Bon Jovi and Journey have become “must plays” for many brides and grooms. “However, even within this genre of music, there are “mini-trends” of songs that for some reason or another suddenly become very popular,” says Michael. “Even though these songs have been around a long time, they have gained new popularity with the current generation. And they still make people dance.”

Here are Michael Hart’s top 5 most requested “rediscovered” songs from the 1980’s:

1. Your Love [The Outfield]

2. I Wanna Dance With Somebody [Whitney Houston]

3. Jump [Van Halen]

4. Here I Go Again [Whitesnake]

5. Summer of 69 [Bryan Adams]

Tony and Kim

Michael,

We just wanted to thank you ( and Pete and the band) for doing such a great job for our wedding. The guests had a fantastic time-the dance floor was packed all night -and we understand quite a few asked Pete for his card. Kim and I would be happy to serve as a reference any time.

Thanks again!

Tony and Kim

Merrill Lynch Dinner

Hi Ian,

I am sorry, I had wanted to write the next day and got too caught up with meetings. Peter and the band were great! They read the crowd very well, participated in all of the funny internal high jinks which would have made no sense to them and we just all around a pleasure to work with. 

I will definetly request them for our next event and thank you so much for all of your assistance too!

Happy holidays and I look forward to working with you again.

June
