Lisa Rene Band

and Eric's wedding reception everything they dreamed of. The music was great and the dance floor was always full. Lisa engaged the crowd throughout the evening. We had so many family and friends complimenting the band! We would highly recommend them to anyone!

. They brought up things we hadn't even thought of, giving great advice & suggestions which we used. We had seen them a number of times before where they have performed. They organized the wedding music so beautifully. All the guests commented on how wonderful they were. They sounded great & made the evening so much fun. They were all really professional & talented musicians. Couldn't have been a better band for the wedding! They made the wedding celebration truly memorable. People still talk about the band when they talk about the wedding. We would definitely recommend this band. Best band ever!!

ey understand what people like. Their live shows are extremely fun and they engage with the audience. Hands down, I wouldn't hire anyone else and my guests feel the same way.

y/lazy to actually go see them prior to the big day. Lisa was phenomenal during the planning process, which made us feel a little better, but just because she has good organizational/people skills doesn't mean that the music would be good. We shouldn't have worried because the music was phenomenal (really one of the best parts of the night). They learned a couple of songs just for us! They really went above and beyond to make sure that they did everything that they could to make our wedding perfect. Most importantly, the music was great and we all had a ton of fun.

eak of them performing at another wedding in the area. Wow. Her voice was amazing. We knew at that instant this is exactly what we wanted. She had such a great variety of music and was easily able to accomodate us with our large variety of music options we wanted for our guest. Everyone couldnt stop talking about the music. Lisa Rene Band was nothing short of Amazing .

ce floor! They play various genres so they are incredibly multi-talented. They are wonderful balance of professional,earthy and friendly! You can tell they love what they do. And Lisa's voice is unparalleled!

and each year they impress me even more. ANY request we have had for Lisa or any of the band members is always put into action. The music is amazing, but the people behind the name are even more special. You will love your Lisa Rene Band experience!!

themselves the entire night. The dance floor was packed from the start of the first song, and wasn't empty until the end of the night. The song selection was perfect, Lisa Rene Band gets your input as to the type of music you would like to play, and has a massive selection of music to pick from. The one constant from our wedding that guests made a comment about, was the band. "They were awesome!", "We've never been to a wedding where the dance floor was crowded all night!" Nothing but great things to say. They make it extremely interactive as well, providing instruments for kids to play, like tambourines and maracas, and even play disney songs that kids will know. We could go on and on about Lisa Rene Band, they will absolutely put the exclamation point on any wedding, you will not be disappointed.

s exceptional in all aspects of conducting business and rocking people's weddings. Our experience with them was no different they were amazing and a year later we still have friends and family talk about how fantastic they were. What compels me to write this outstanding review its what they band did for us outside of their responsibilities as our wedding band. See our caterer forgot...yep...FORGOT our dessert table that we had paid for. Some how the band members got wind of this an not only paid for a dessert for my husband and I to share that evening but also sent their son (aka awesome light tech) out to get small cake for us to freeze for our one year anniversary. This is a wonderful example of how the Lisa Rene Band truly goes above and beyond to make everyone of their clients day special. They corrected a mistake that was not even theirs to correct which is exceptional. Thanks to The Lisa Rene Band! Book them for their talent/professionalism and they will exceed your expectations!!

phone. They brought up things we hadn't even thought of, giving us great advice & suggestions which we used. We had partied with them a number of times before where they have performed.

Definitely would recommend this band!!!

is very easy to work with, and truly listens to you and what you want. Being widowed for quite a few years, I remember us telling her some of the music my husband liked, and that "piano man" was his favorite song. A few weeks before the wedding she called so excited to tell me that her "dream band" was now complete. They had added a keyboardist now, a friend she had played with years earlier. But she had taken the time to call me to say "Piano Man" was one of the main songs on his playlist, and how we would now incorporate that into the night of music! My daughter and I and my sons were thrilled, and everyone of our friends was on the dance floor in a circle singing at the top of their lungs. It was a fabulous night to remember. But her list of music they play is also quite lenghty, so you should have no problem finding the music you want. We also needed a CD player at thelast minute to hear a "Congratulations" from the Emerald Isle. Lisa Rene came through. You will not be disappointed with this band. And just make sure you have your dancing shoes on! Bev Blake,Mother of the beautiful bride!

to provide us with the perfect musical backdrop to our evening celebration. Having been to three weddings of close friends where Lisa and her boys entertained and enthralled guests from start to finish, we knew there was only going to be one name on our list, and we were delighted and relieved to learn the band was free for our date. With an extensive repertoire and an option to learn a few special songs specific to us, the band were involved in the planning from an early stage and always available to bounce ideas off. With a close friend who is a whizz on the accordion, and whose cameo was a highlight of two of the previous three weddings, the band were also excited to get involved with him again and sure enough their ‘duet’ was an undoubted highlight of our night. With me being Irish and not being able to decide between my groomsmen, we had two Best Man speeches, as well as a few other unplanned guest speakers, which meant the speeches delayed the band’s start time. Lisa, while helping with the speakers, MCing in between and relaying scores of the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup final, kept an unbelievable calm while all around her was in minor chaos, and as a consummate professional she kept our guests informed and entertained throughout. The band even graciously skipped their pre-agreed break to make up for lost time, and they and their amazing music were a huge hit with us and all our guests. The dance floor was full the entire night as they belted out classic after classic, and the pictures of the energy and fun being had will be cherished by us both forever. We honestly couldn’t recommend the Lisa Rene Band highly enough.

gracious and amazing on each of their instruments. We received soooooooooo many compliments on how great our band was. I would hire them 10,000 more times.

f vocals and the ability to engage the crowd make them special. Highly recommended!

h our family and friends dancing away into the night. Let me tell you, The Lisa Rene Band delivered. Our dance floor was packed and I still have people asking me for the band’s information – either they want it for themselves or they had so much fun at our wedding that they want to recommend the Lisa Rene Band to a friend. Beyond the day of the event, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Lisa and plan the details for the day. From the first time I spoke with her, it was apparent that Lisa is type of vendor who truly cares about her clients and who wants to be a part of their vision. It was important to me that our wedding vendors were as excited as we were about our wedding, and I truly felt like Lisa Rene was invested and excited. The best part was that they allowed my Dad to play his accordion with the band – such a treat for him and absolutely awesome for us to see him up there with the band. Since our wedding, we have been to 2 other weddings where the Lisa Rene Band provided the entertainment (my brother’s wedding and a close family friend). At both weddings, the Lisa Rene Band rose to the occasion. In fact, I could not wait for the dinner part to be over so that we could hit the dance floor with the band (shh, don't tell)! Whenever friends, or friends of friends ask for wedding vendor recommendations the Lisa Rene Band is the FIRST vendor I mention. They will do nothing but exceed your expectations!

onable and wants to make everything perfect for the bride and groom. I would highly recommend her band in the future.

nteraction of any band I have seen at a wedding. At our wedding (5/7/11), the minute we were done with our special dances, they cranked into some pumped up rock and the dance floor was flooded with people. It didn't let up from there. They were so easy to work with. We met with them multiple times to discuss the do not play songs, the must play songs, and even a few songs they learned just for us! I grew up playing classical music on the piano, and Gregg, the guitarist learned my favorite song, and played while my wife walked down the aisle. It was beautiful. The value that you will receive from hiring Lisa Rene Band doesn't compare to anyone other band. They were about half the cost of a few other bands that we talked to. We had such a good experience with them that we recommended them to our family and friends, although it didn't take much convincing, since they all witnessed their greatness first hand at our wedding! Since our wedding, my brother-in-law used them and a good family friend did as well. I really couldn't recommend Lisa Rene Band enough! -Andy

jumping, and having a great time. Days after, our friends were still talking about the fun time they had. This is a high energy band! We have two more children, and when they get married, we are hiring this band. There is no better band value for your event in the Chicagoland area!

ding & boy did they pick a good one, the best one! The Lisa Rene Band made Katie and Mike's wedding day/night even more special. The MC bridal party entrance, passing along of the mic for speeches (staying on schedule!) and keeping the dance floor packed! Throughout the entire night, I saw EVERYONE on the dance floor. We also had Blackhawks game updates throughout the night- what to do with a Saturday night wedding and a Stanley Cup game?! Everyone won at this wedding (including the Blackhawks)... Thanks to the Lisa Rene Band for making this wedding so memorable. It definitely was the best wedding of the summer, if not for years to come!

hem! I would highly recommend them to any Bride or Groom planning a wedding. Jennifer Cross

The band learned new songs for us and we had a blast! The dance floor was packed and Lisa was an exceptional emcee. We are fans for life!

cked the whole night. Lisa makes the pre-planning so easy and goes over all of the hard to pronounce names of people in the wedding party which was a huge relief to me. If you are looking for a great band that will please EVERYONE call Lisa!

on the floor for it.

fun! We had over 250 people at both weddings and the dance floor was packed...I mean packed until the very last song when our guests were chanting "one more song". They play the absolute best dance tunes and are so easy and professional to work with. Their communication throughout the entire process was fantastic. One of the things that both my daughter and my now daughter-in-law said after beginning to work with Lisa was "Lisa is just as excited about our wedding as we are!" This was important to both of them and made the whole planning process with Lisa that much more fun. They have a huge selection of music and have the uncanny ability to really "read the crowd" which keeps everyone on the dance floor. At both weddings, I did not leave the dance floor and had an absolute blast. Don't hesitate or think twice about hiring the Lisa Rene Band. You will be 100% happy and want to do it all over again.

nd and I continue to hear them play around the suburbs whenever we can! We love this band!

ded amazing, and Lisa did a fantastic job as the EMCEE of the night. The dance floor was completely packed from the start of the night until we had to kick everyone out of the room. We have gotten lots of compliments from our guests for choosing such a great band. It definitely helped make the reception spectacular and the band convinced my husband, who had wanted a DJ, that we had made the right choice!

usical ability and desire to have a GREAT TIME! They helped my husband (not musically inclined but a devoted Father :-) prepare and perform a pre-wedding "My Girl" rendition that NO ONE knew was him singing until the Father/Daughter dance. We were so pleased that the band agreed to drive 2 hours to join us for our 4th of July celebration in 7/2015! They made a less than great set up location for the band work with no added fee or complaints. We ALL had a BLAST - including the pontoon boaters who participated in our event from the water on Lake Carroll! We HIGHLY recommend the Lise Rene band and encourage you to book them ASAP. You won't be disappointed!!

ld be just as I wanted it. I had a million questions on timing, how it all came together etc. Lisa responded immediatly and answered every one. It was great to not have to worry about any details. The most important thing I wanted to do was a special tribute to my Mom. I suggested the song "Mama's song" and Lisa promptly learned it. During the wedding we brought my Mom out and Lisa sang the song to her as everyone looked on. It was just beautiful and my favorite memory of the wedding - my mom being honored like that. It was so touching and meant so much that Lisa took the time to personally sing the song instead of just playing it off a cd. Lisa served as our MC and we had a lot of specific instructions, and it went off without a hitch. The detailed meetings I had with her ahead of time already had me at ease, and as a bride, one less thing to worry about is a GREAT thing. I was very impressed with the entire band. They are beyond professional, and looked genuinly happy to be there. We had great feedback from our friends and family and I recommed them out to everyone I know without hesitation. They made our wedding reception flawless!!

night long.......we even had to extend our time with the reception hall and band because our guests did not want to leave! Since our wedding, we have been fortunate enough to hire the Lisa Rene Band several more times for corporate events. The experience has been the same each time. Professionally organized, great music, and a full dance floor! We love this band!

iciest or most pretentious. Just the best, in that everyone had the most fun and best time. Lisa was part of that from the opening minutes of the reception when my wife and I entered the room to Lisa playing the song of OUR choosing, til the end of the night when, after playing music for an additional hour, Lisa had to finally announce the event was at an end, and the revelers reluctantly left the dance floor. That floor had been full from start to end, because of the choices of music popular with all ages and enthusiastically well preformed by Lisa and her band. Lisa also acted as emcee throughout the event, constantly keeping the crowd involved and engaged. BUT most meaningful for me (and indicative of how personalized Lisa is willing to make her band's service), was that she allowed me (a man with no musical talent) to meet with her people in their studio to record the vocal track of me singing "My Girl." This was a surprise for my daughter for the daddy-daughter dance, at which time the band played the "My Girl" music live and sang back-up, with my recorded voice being played as the main vocal. The band (with some prior "magic" from the recording studio) actually made me sound good. And created a moment that my daughter and I shared and will remember for all of our lives. For that I have Lisa and her band to thank, and I am grateful for all they did to make the whole night magical for my daughter, her husband, and all of their friends and family. No one could have done better.

s requests for our December wedding! At the end of the night our guests would not leave the dance floor so we kept they kept the show going for an additional hour! Lisa is flexible,reliable and puts a unique show together for each wedding. They are the best and I highly recommend you have them at your wedding!

ic MC. I highly recommend them!!

fabulous time they had at the reception. Lisa was a pleasure to work with and made us feel so comfortable. She helped with ideas about music that catered to our crowd, order of events, and did a great job MC'ing as well. We recommended them to a friend that just got married a couple weeks ago and they were just as fun the second time around! If you're on the fence, we promise they will make your reception the funnest party you'll ever attend :)

ce. Most importantly, each time I spoke with her, she seemed genuinely excited to be playing at our wedding. They truly exceeded our expectations at the wedding reception. The band sounded fabulous and played songs that had everyone from my 10 year old ring bearer to my 82 year old grandparents on the dance floor the entire night. We loved working with the Lisa Rene Band and highly, highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!!
