HIGH SOCIETY ORCHESTRA

mix of old and new music. I think one of the most important details of a wedding is the music. It sets the tone/vibe/ ambiance for the event and they knocked it out of the park. Allan was so easy to work with. We could not have asked for a better band. Thank you times a million!

hey were also above and beyond with performing!! Everybody was dancing all night. I could not recommend them enough!!

until the end. Hate to hear the “ last song” because they are so much fun.

Alan and team!!

last. Thank you to Al and team for keeping everyone moving on our big day!

an may reach out a lot to verify details (song choices, etc.) and while it made me nervous at times, everything went flawlessly.

band learned two new songs just for our wedding! Every one of our guests said that the band was the best wedding band ever. My advice to you is to book this fabulous band for your wedding!

exactly what we wanted. High Society brought incredible energy to the wedding and the dance floor was packed. I don't care what people say about hiring DJs, nothing can match a real live band. You won't be disappointed that you hired them.

ould hire them again!

ect. Two months prior to the wedding, they sent us their song list and asked us to pick out the high energy songs we wanted. They also asked us to list any songs we didn't want played. The night of our wedding, they followed the plan to a T. They also provided music for the ceremony too. The applause from our happy guests on the dance floor was incredible! If you're looking for a band who will make your party a success, hire them!

nd the singers were not only incredible, they danced on stage all night. There wasn't an empty spot on the dance floor. Allan helped plan the whole evening and was so cooperative throughout the process. Definitely book them for your wedding!

nts. Hiring them was the best decision of our wedding. We are so glad that we booked you. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone else.

so easy to work with. He was super organized and the planning was very clear and easy. If you want to wow your guests, High Society is the answer! They are very flexible and always willing to accommodate. They were very cooperative in learning a few new songs for the wedding. Their Motown medley is incredible. The dance floor was packed all night. Their selection of songs is amazing and they made our night unforgettable. Again-- amazing band!

g part of both our family weddings and leave all in attendance raving about their performance. We high recommend High Society!

ess. His band members were terrific and I've had guests at the wedding continue to approach me months later to say how excellent the music was. We had HSO join us for the string quartet during cocktail hour and the 10-piece band during the reception. All of the music was so well planned and timed, we could not have been happier. Thank you to the whole ensemble!

at night!

the party moving until the end! Maybe what impressed us the most was their professionalism! Challenged with a less than abundance of room for themselves and their equipment, they showed just what professionals they were by adapting and making the best out of a less than ideal amount of space. They were fantastic!

g music selection. You exceeded our expectations in every way. We thank you for such a memorable evening!

e band was punctual, professional, and a lot of fun. The interaction they had with the guests was unbelievable. The band went out on the dance floor and interacted with our guests. Everyone told us the band was fabulous. Most importantly, my daughter and her fiance were so happy.

iety brought such professionalism, experience and fun. From start to finish, they knew exactly what to do. This comes with experience and their over ten years of playing together shows. They enjoy what they do and this reflects to the crowd. Our wedding guests left raving about the music.

ng. They were incredible, Carlo was such a fun MC (and trumpet player), and the singers for the band really pulled the crowd in. I highly recommend them to anyone especially those who want people to dance at their wedding! The band and Allan were really easy to work with and very personable and the band played all of the songs that I had said I wanted played. It is clear they want everyone to have a blast, and it is not hard to when the music is on point!

cked right until the very end, as they were a high energy band that kept the party rocking all night long. There was not a single moment that the dance floor was not packed. We were absolutely blown away by how terrific they were. Their day of performance was absolutely phenomenal and they are very willing to cooperate. Allan (their manager) was part owner of one of the largest independent record labels in the country. He certainly knows how to put together many of the most talented musicians and singers in Chicago. Everyone had the best time and we were ecstatic with how they performed. They got our guests singing along on many songs and having a great time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

manager is an honest and reliable business person, that is very cooperative. Given how important music is at any wedding, it is crucial to find a band that can keep your guests on the dance floor having a blast. They have played at three of our sons weddings and we would not have had any other band. Best band ever - hands down. Every guest at our wedding raved about the music. the energy that they created was fun and exciting. If you want an absolute kick - ass wedding that your guests will remember for a long time, this band is the best. BOOK - THEM!

ime to learn songs that I loved. Thank you for making our day so much fun!

a leg on the dance floor. Our dance floor was packed the whole night! High Society was really easy to work with - very responsive and helpful! I highly recommend them!

t the floor packed all night! They had great energy and were a lot of fun. If I were rating just the band here, I would give them 5 stars without a second thought. But, I have to consider the management in this review too, which lowers the rating to 4 stars. The band manager, Alan, is pretty difficult to work with, and was even downright shady in some manners. After hearing the band in person and deciding we wanted to use them for our wedding, we discussed the contract details with Alan via email. He gave us an agreeable price, outlined the breaks the band would take, told us what else the contract included (like Emcee responsibilities and iPod streaming during breaks). When the contract finally came via email a week or so later, Alan told me that he would need another $500 for Emcee services. I sent him the original email, in which he outlined that the emcee services are included, and he finally agreed that there would be no additional charge. That experience gave me an uneasy feeling about him. He kept commenting about what a "great deal" he was giving us, and I kind of felt like he was using that as license to nickel and dime us for things that he felt he could break out as "extras". (At the wedding, he apparently told my wedding coordinator that he "does not do bride and groom introductions", even though I had outlined that weeks before as one of the Emcee responsibilities we needed. I don't know what she said to him, or how, but he announced us) Weeks before the wedding, I sent him our requested song list as well as my very detailed spreadsheet of the day's schedule, which outlined things like dances, toasts and cake cuttings and also provided the exact times that those things should happen. He acknowledged the email as received, but proceeded to call me THREE MORE TIMES before the wedding (including two days before the wedding) to tell me (brashly) that I had not told him anything about the events that were to occur or the times. In our final call, I actually had to tell him to WRITE IT DOWN, because I could not keep having the same conversation with him, over and over. Dealing with Alan was very stressful. I questioned my choice of the band, and I worried that his poor management and clear lack of organization would result in a poor event for us. However, that was DEFINITELY not the case....The band was wonderful, and I would do it all over again if I had the chance!
