Pete Saunders Band Wedding Review: "PHENOMENAL!"

David and I want to sincerely thank you and the whole band for the absolutely PHENOMENAL job you did at our wedding on October 23rd!! We were really counting on you all to "bring the party," and you totally delivered. So many of our guests absolutely raved about the band (even some people who were previously in the "team DJ" camp - I think you converted a few folks!). There are too many incredible moments with the band to mention, but some that stand out as memories I will always cherish are the dance we did to "In My Life" with my dad and David's mom (a gorgeous rendition), the Hora (a total BLAST), and our last dance to "I've Had the Time of My Life." We also want to give a special shout out to your keyboardist for the gorgeous ceremony music, so please thank him for that and tell him how much it meant to us - he did an absolutely beautiful job. 

 

Beyond the amazing musical talent of each of the band members, you were all just so incredibly kind and fun, and we loved having you there. And Stephanie, many thanks to you for all of your help in the planning and coordinating stages - you were a pleasure to work with, and we so appreciate your guidance and patience!

 

With so much gratitude, 

Allison Russo

Pete Saunders Band Wedding Review: "Perfect and Seamless!"

We wanted to thank the band for an absolutely incredible night. Our guests cannot stop raving about the music. The ceremony music and first dance, like I mentioned to the band last night, literally were dreams that came true. We have no words to describe how perfect and seamless the night was. THANK YOU!!!

Pete Saunders Band Wedding Review: "Wish we could give more than 5 stars!"

We used Hank Lane after my brother’s wedding band blew the top off of that event, so when our turn came, Hank Lane was a must. We loved that all of the bands play together only and that it was easy to add pieces to the band for our wedding day based on the music we wanted. We were lucky enough to book the Pete Saunders band and they were unbelievably talented - Pete and the gang are truly one of a kind musicians. We had very specific interests and tastes and the band allowed us an infinite do not play list (anything Bruno Mars or otherwise overplayed). The range was unbelievable, from wedding hits like “September” to pop “Levitating” and “Lover” and true funk. Who else could nail “Love on Top” but one of Pete’s vocalists, aside from Beyonce herself?? The vocalists knew how to work the room and the energy was a palpable contagious feeling throughout the reception. No one wanted to leave! Our guests were on the dance floor the entire time, exactly what we wanted. Allie and Stephanie were wonderful to work with. A+++++++ wish we could give more than 5 stars!

 

Pete Saunders Band Wedding Review: "Couldn't have asked for a better band!"

I just want to say how FANTASTIC the band was last night. Pete really is a genius and they all read the room perfectly! No one left the dance floor all night - they made our wedding absolutely spectacular and we couldn’t have asked for a better band and overall experience. Phenomenal!!!!! Please send all my thanks to Pete and then some.

Thank you!

Pete Saunders Band Wedding Review: "Would Recommend Them To All"

If you want you and your guests to be dancing all night, belting out songs, and having the night of your lives go no further. Hank Lane’s Pete Saunders Band is the band for you.

The Hank Lane company made selecting a band easy... Then, as my husband says, we got to pretend we were judges on American Idol. We watched several band [videos] and narrowed it down to two....
....Now, for the Pete Saunders Band. The week of our wedding we received a personal call from Pete. He was so kind and thoughtful....It’s obvious that Pete is a passionate and extremely knowledgeable musician.
On the night of our wedding, the band was AMAZING!! We had 9 musicians...Each member of the band is clearly a master artist, professional, and so kind!! They interacted with us and our guests all night — who were definitely partying hard!! They followed our music preferences exactly and continued to take requests all night.
At the end of the night we watched as many guests from our wedding came to the band to sing their praises because we were right next to them thanking them for the night of our lives. One guest remarked, “I was worried when I heard a Whitney Houston song come on but oh my goodness the vocalists crushed it”!
We can not say enough positive things about our experience with Hank Lane and the Pete Saunders Band. We are 1000% happy about our experience with them and would recommend them to all.
To the Pete Saunders Band, thank you for everything. You made our wedding spectacular and you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Pete Saunders Band Wedding Review: "Absolutely amazing!!!"

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you SO MUCH for your work with us and Pete for our wedding. I’m sure you are aware but the Pete Saunders Band is absolutely amazing!!! We had very high expectations and were still totally blown away. Guests still cannot stop raving about how great they were and I can’t tell you how many people have said “I’ve never been to a wedding where literally every guest was dancing!” Their work made an already terrific wedding just so special. I will of course write a note to them and leave a rave review but just wanted to let you know as well.

 

Thanks again!!

Pete Saunders Band Review: "Danced all night long!"

 

Hi Stephanie –

 

I’m back in DC catching up and still glowing about the wedding! I think we all felt it was a wonderful and special evening and Pete Saunders and the band (both musicians and singers) set the tone from the very beginning. They did a beautiful job right from before the ceremony on. They are all superb at what they do, they gauged the crowd beautifully, and the song selection and pacing were perfect. Cat and Mike felt truly celebrated by the music and I danced all night long! In fact, I’ve had dozens of compliments about the wedding so far and every single person has mentioned the music and said it was the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. Many many thanks for all you did to help make it such a success!

 

All best,

 

Lucy

A Pete Saunders Band Review: "Wonderful!"

Hi Ian:

I’m writing to thank you for making Ricardo and Cynthia’s reception a fabulous success.  For me, the most important element in a successful party is the music, and we can always count on you to provide the perfect band. The Pete Saunders Band provided music for every guest to enjoy and they kept the dance floor full the whole night.  Cynthia told me that she had never seen her parents dance before in her entire life - but they did a lot of dancing that night! Pete and his entire band were wonderful and very talented.  Thank you so much for obtaining their services for us. You can be certain that we will never go anywhere else but to you!

 

Fondly,

Annette Davila

Pete Saunders Band Wedding Review: "Spectacular!"

Pete,

I cannot begin to thank you for the work you and your band did at our wedding. The music was spectacular, the sound was impeccable and the way you could read the night made our night perfect. I obviously want to thank you for allowing my moment in the spotlight, which in the end became all about Mara. I have been told it was the moment of the night, so thank you again. We tell everyone the name "Pete Saunders" and I hope we run into each other again soon.

 

All our thanks,

Russ and Mara

Thank you again for the most amazing night of our lives. I can't tell you how many people have commented that it was the highest energy wedding they have ever been to... mission accomplished! You guys were incredible and it meant so much to us that you played our favorite hockey song. Every thing about it was perfection and you really gave us our dream wedding, and we cannot thank you enough!
