Dear Spencer,
Thank you so much for working with us to create the wedding of our dreams! The Pete
Saunders band was incredible (people are still talking about them!) and the addition of the
live musicians to our cocktail hour and dinner was so special! As a musician myself, I know how talented this band is and am so appreciative of your help, Mike Herman’s organization, and the band’s amazing performance. We will definitely be recommending you to everyone we know 
Happy New Year!
Love, Cynthia

Dear Michael,
Wow! What a night you gave us all! You clearly helped make China and Jonathan’s wedding the happy success it was with your fantastic team. Your energy and positive attitude, along with all the amazingly talented musicians and singers you have surrounded yourself with, make for an unbeatable combination. I was thrilled to see all our guests rush out onto the dance floor every time you started to play! Every song was perfect and everyone was raving about you!!!
Thank you so much for helping to create an evening I will never forget!
With warmest regards,
Kiendl

Dear Mr. Steve Delisi,
On behalf of the A Midwinter Night’s Dream committee I would like to personally thank you for providing entertainment at our 8th annual event. You and your band made the evening a very special and truly enjoyable night for everyone in attendance.
This year the AMND committee raised $521,000, the highest amount yet! We are very proud of this accomplishment and hope to continue with such success as we move forward in the fight against ALS. We thank you again for the support you have given to AMND and the fight against this horrific disease. Our event would not be the same without you.
Sincerely,
Charley

Dear Erik,
The Erik Marshall Band made my wedding perfect!
I can’t even tell you how every single person I spoke to after the wedding commented on how great the band was. I didn’t sit down for a moment, and neither did the guests. Brian and I are thrilled we chose you to entertain our guests. You’re the best!

Hank Lane Music was recently featured in The Plaza’a January newsletter. Here’s a snippet of our interview with them. To read the rest, click here!
What is the best first dance song?
We get requests for everything from Sinatra to Taylor Swift. You can never go wrong with timeless classics such as “Have I Told You Lately” [Van Morrison] or “To Make you Feel My Love [Bob Dylan], often performed in the style of Adele’s cover. We also love newer up-tempo songs such as Ray LaMontagne’s “You Are The Best Thing” and Michael Buble’s “Everything”.
What is the best song to walk down the aisle to?
Traditional pieces such as Pachelbel’s “Canon in D” are always beautiful. This piece also has the advantage of being able to continually “loop” quite easily, providing for lots of musical length for large bridal parties or a particularly long aisle. While the majority of couples still choose to go with traditional Classical music, more and more are choosing to go more modern. Going the more contemporary route can really make for a memorable ceremony. We have a lot of requests for our Hank Lane Rock Orchestra who perform rock and contemporary classics. Couples who choose to go with this have recently walked down the aisle to Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir”, Coldplay’s

Dear Kim,
Where do I begin? We were all completely bowled over by Pete and his band! What a sensational “performance”!!! And all night long! Everything was terrific – the music, the arrangements, Pete’s hosting, the timing of things from moment to moment – it all went so smoothly. People were literally coming up to me all night asking in wonderment: ”Where did you get that band?!” I cannot thank you enough for having the foresight to recommend Pete and his band to us for Liz and Craig’s wedding. And I am sure I will have the opportunity to recommend him to others for their occasions, too.
Although I did thank and congratulate Pete and his group after the wedding, please again convey to them, from both Janet and me, our many thanks and deepest appreciation for their work.
Our best to you, and everyone at Hank Lane for making our evening such a success.
Ira, Father of the Bride
