Hank Lane Music

We can't say enough how awesome The Ernest Mill Band (Hank Lane) is. From our first contact with them right up through the wedding, it was nothing but smooth sailing and highest quality service. They are super professional and a pleasure to work with. They were very responsive to our emails/calls and we were never left in the dark. We gave them some of our music tastes and song suggestions, which were all over the place, and they totally ROCKED IT! They even were kind enough to allow my 9 year old nephew, who is an awesome and talented guitar player, to play a song for us. The wedding went completely smooth and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We didn't' see any of our guests sitting down, everyone was up dancing and partying! Since the reception we have got endless praises from all our guests, asking me for their information and who they were. We are looking forward to throwing another party so we have an excuse to hire these guys again in the future!!!

The Russ Bennett band from Hank Lane played at our wedding reception. They were phenomenal. I'm still getting comments from friends about how great the band was. Russ was great and very flexible with our many requests. He kept checking in with us throughout the reception. And most importantly, they played terrific music and played/sang it perfectly. I couldn't be happier with them.

I can't say enough about the Ernest Mills band. This is probably the best band I've ever seen perform at ANY wedding. And I don't mean just the music - Ernest and Hank Lane really delivered on service and professionalism. Highly, highly recommend!

We had the Ricky Sands Band play at our October 1, 2011 wedding and they were OUTSTANDING!! Not only did they totally stick to the genres/ songs that we specified on our playlist but they totally rocked them!l! They understood our style from the start, were able to read the crowd very well, and just put on a great show for our wedding night. Our dance floor was always full, the singers got involved w/ our guests on the dance floor during a few songs which was awesome. People were raving about the band during the wedding and after. They wanted their card, their number, etc. And best of all the band received shouts for an encore at the end of the night. I would recommend Ricky Sands Band and Hank Lane to anyone. I understand that people might be nervous since Hank Lane is a large company. Trust me...you do not get lost in the shuffle. These people know exactly what they are doing. I was nervous at first that I couldn't hear the band live (but I guess that's pretty normal for most companies) but honestly, they were better than I ever could have imagined. They sang songs live better than the original artist. No vendor is going to handhold you the entire way through your wedding. If you want that, hire a wedding planner to confirm & reconfirm 10,000 times the same details. Hank Lane handled every aspect of the entertainment portion of our wedding day w/ professionalism and a great attitude. We would work w/ them again w/ out any hesitation. Hope people find this helpful.

Excellent band! Had everyone dancing the whole time, a great variety of songs!

We had Pete Saunders. By far the biggest talk of the wedding. They made our wedding that much more fabulous. Not only did they have the most incredible vocalists, the band played throughout the entire re option with no breaks. They were also so interactive coming out into the crowd and being a part of the celebration. I could not have imagined a better band to play at our wedding!

"I can’t say enough about how “The Jeff Lubin Band” made my wedding everything I could have imagined. I found the band after attending my sister’s wedding and knew that there was no other option. They are extremely well versed in just about any music you could possibly want for your wedding and really take the time to sit down and make sure they understand what you envision for your special day. I found them to be very professional and made my reception a very smooth, seamless process. I’ve often found myself at weddings where people are hesitant to get up and dance and with the Jeff Lubin Band, friends that have never danced at weddings were up having a ball. They know how to get the party started and are an extremely talented band with amazing singers. I just can’t say enough. If you want your friends to rant and rave over your wedding for years to come you absolutely should check out this band."

We hired the Michael Hart Band at Hank Lane. They were suggested to me by a co-worker and so I looked into them. I had my wedding on a Friday to save a few dollars at the reception site. I had no idea that it would be the best decision of my wedding because it afforded me the opportunity to have Michael Hart & his band perform at my wedding (we couldn't have afforded a Saturday night). And perform they did. I had nearly the entire 200 guests chanting ONE MORE SONG at the end of the wedding. It truly was like being at a concert. They danced with us, with each other with choreographed moves, sang every song we wanted and kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night. The only thing my guests talk about was how this was the best wedding band ever. Still 2 months later they are talking about how they have never and will never encounter a band as good as them. I feel honored to have partied with them. And I hope you can too. Worth the splurge - seriously!

Beyond amazing. EVERY SINGLE person that I have spoken to since the wedding has complimented Kevin Osbourne and his band, saying it was by far the best band they had ever heard and they absolutely made the party that much more special.

Russ Benet from Hank Lane was the best band I have ever heard and they made our entire wedding reception a complete dance party from start to finish. The energy at my reception was like nothing I have ever seen and I know it was because of the awesome band. I can't recommend them enough - to make your wedding the absolutely most fun night you can imagine!

The Pete Saunders Band played my wedding at Temple Beth Torah and they were AMAZING!!! We've been to dozens of weddings in the past few years and no one has topped them. They had everyone dancing all night, and were very fun and playful. We met with Pete ahead of time and he made us feel very comfortable. All the top 40 songs were out of this world--really don't think twice, book this band. They are so professional and will deliver exactly what you want. All of our friends keep calling us to say how amazing our band was. Thanks so much, Pete!!!

The entire experience was fantastic. We used Kenny Ford and he rocked the place!Notably, the sales and support teams were great. We can't wait to use them again.

They (the Russ Bennett Band) were, simply put, phenomenal. They surpassed all expectations of not just the bride and groom but all guests in attendance. Every person in attendance commented on how much they enjoyed the music, the professionalism and atmosphere the band created at the reception. The band did a great job mixing and matching different styles and eras of songs so as to keep people on the dance floor the entire night. Russ did a fantastic job engaging the audience with the playlist as well as checking in with the bride and groom to make sure we were happy with everything multiple times throughout the evening. The band was so good my parents were getting worried about my 86 year old great aunt because she was dancing to every song and they hadn’t seen her that active in years.

Amazing! We booked the Russ Bennett Band with Hank Lane for our June 4 wedding and the reviews coming in about the wedding are amazing. EVERYONE LOVED the band! The music was so energetic and wonderful that people started dancing even before the we (bride and groom) were announced! I have friends who have booked other bands with Hank Lane and have been just as happy. You seriously can't go wrong here...they make the entire music planning process seamless and are such a talented group of musicians!!

We used the Encore band from Hank Lane, and they were fantastic! The dance floor was packed all evening, and my husband and I were too busy dancing to even eat! The lead singers were very engaging and even came onto the dance floor to have guests participate in the singing. It was so much fun, and Encore had such a wonderful range of songs - everything from Runaround Sue to Poker Face to Hips Don't Lie. All age ranges were pleased with the selection. We couldn't have been happier with them!

We could not have been more pleased with Pete Saunders Band of Hank Lane Music. Hank Lane was recommended by the women I was working with on my invitations and I was thrilled with Erik each time I spoke to him. He recommended Pete Saunders as our band. Once we chose Pete I continuously kept in contact with him via email and he was always prompt in his responses. I wanted to walk down the aisle to Beyonce's Ave Maria and Pete worked on 8 different cuts of the track to make it exactly right. Their performance during the reception was incredible. They sounded fantastic, were fun and got into the crowd, and made it the best party we could have imagined.

The band was great (Jeff Lubin)! We would recommend them for other weddings and events.

Well I must say Dane Wright made my wedding day pretty amazing. I know I chose to get married in the winter and the snow was brutal - some my family could not make it into the city from out of town because of it and we were pretty down about it BUT... Dane, you made the night. You made us as happy as we could have ever asked. Not only were you professional, knowledgeable and the biggest sweetheart we have ever met, your talents are incredible! Thank you so much for your energy. Our wedding was amazing and our guests haven't stopped raving about you. PLUS...some of our bridesmaids are still talking about how cute you are! You're awesome and we thank you from the bottom of hearts. From day one in our appointment, we knew you had it! All the best from this point forward - Marrissa and Sal - 1/8/11 Dane Wright Band

We booked Ricky Sands and his band and they were AMAZING. They played everything from Bon Jovi to Motown/Funk to Lady Gaga…and they made it sound better than the actual recorded songs! The dance floor was entirely full for the whole party. Not only was the band awesome, but Ricky is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet and was a wonderful MC. One of the wonderful things about the Ricky Sands band (and any Hank Lane band) is that they’re playing live music throughout the whole party, even while you’re eating dinner and dessert. We can’t say enough great things about Ricky and his band.

We had the Downtown Band at our wedding and we could not have been happier! My husband comes from a family of musicians as well as himself and a good band was VERY important to us! They were TOP notch and did not let us down. They played all the variety of music we ask them to and had our guests dancing all night! We did not leave the dance floor!! They were easy to work with and very receptive to the ideas we had. My husband, his brother, and friends got up at one point and played a few songs with the band!!! I wish they could have played into the wee hours of the morning
