When my wife Meghan and I began planning our Chicago wedding, we knew there were two key things we didn’t want to skimp on: the photographer and the band. As such, we had absolutely no hesitation in enlisting the services of the Lisa Rene Band ...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.
