It is this concern and attention to detail (along with the special moments created) that has made the High Society Orchestra one of the most sought after high energy dance bands for extraordinary weddings, parties, galas, and corporate events in Chicago and the surrounding area. We do this by providing exceptional musical entertainment designed to match your unique vision.
For this reason, we are the Chicago wedding band of choice for great parties and events throughout the Midwest. The band sounded fantastic! At one point I was in the back of the room talking with guests who asked if we had a dj playing songs while the band was on break. There was not a minute during the reception that the dance floor wasn't packed, with one fantastic song after another keeping everyone on their feet late into the night.

Our daughter got married a month ago. The band made the reception. They could not have been more responsive to our needs and the people at the reception. They were spot on reading the crowd with their music selection. Everyone said the band made the reception. I wish I had another daughter so I could hire them again

We first saw High Society Orchestra at my friends wedding in St. Louis. They have a lot of energy and really sound spot on for a lot of great wedding songs. It was an amazing performance and we wanted to provide the same experience for the guests at our wedding. Luckily they were from the Chicago area and we were able to book them for our own wedding last month. They were willing to learn two new songs for us-- "Dancing in the Dark" by Bruce Springsteen and "Gallway Girl". They knocked both songs out of the park!
Having everyone on the dance floor was really important

What a fantastic band! When we were interviewing High Society to play at our daughter's wedding, we discovered that they were the fabulous band that had played a few years earlier at our niece's wedding. Our daughter had actually ended up with a microphone that night on stage singing with the band. Somehow, it felt right! We hired them and had a blast of an evening with them. You will not be disappointed!

Hiring High Society for our daughter's wedding was the best money we spent. I first saw them two years prior and saved their card as I knew I definitely wanted them as our band.
The dance floor was crowded until the end! Everyone commented on the energy they brought and the fact that they sounded like the original artist of every song they performed.
Al was a very nice man and a pleasure to work with. Hire them!!

I have attended several weddings where High Society played. As a professional musician myself, I highly recommend this band. They are extremely talented, energetic, professional, engaging and really know how to make the wedding celebration a grand party with great music performances! You simply cannot go wrong with High Society if you're looking for great dance music that is perfectly attuned to your wedding party's needs. They are very experienced and absolutely can be counted on to make your wedding a special one!

We were really pleased with the High Society band. Everything they told us they would do for us was true. Allan helped us prepare the timeline for the night and everything was perfect. 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

Allan and the HSO were about as outstanding as one could ask for. They performed at our wedding in June 2018.
Allan was thoughtful, helpful, and accommodating throughout the process. 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!

My best friend recommended High Society Orchestra after they played at her daughter's wedding. After reviewing their video we booked them and we were so happy with the decision. The band was punctual, professional, and a lot of fun.The interaction with our guests was unbelievable. The band went out on the dance floor and interacted with our guests. My daughter and her fiance were so happy. Thank you!

We hired High Society Orchestra for our daughter's wedding this past May in Madison, Wisconsin. It was well worth the investment. My husband said it was the best money he spent on the ENTIRE wedding! The band was spectacular! They are all such talented musicians...true professionals. Our guests danced the night away with smiles on their faces. I still receive compliments from friends about this band, even though the wedding was 3 months ago! Book them! You will be so glad you did!

Words cannot express how wonderful the High Society orchestra was at our wedding. They were absolutely unbelievable! Our guests were dancing all night and we received many compliments. 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.

We just wanted to thank you for yet another spectacular evening with the High Society Orchestra! The songs just kept on coming and all the special songs and dances were just perfect literally. You listened to and incorporated Ashley's ideas and visions for her wedding and it turned into a spectacularly memorable event that our friends and family are still talking about. Even the non-dancers danced all night! Thanks to all your wonderful singers and musicians. It was great to see you again!

We hold an annual Grand Gala fundraiser for our school every year, and ever since we hired the High Society Orchestra as our entertainment our guests have been raving about the band! The music appeals to all ages and keeps our 250+ guests on their feet all the way until the last song of the evening. Allan was a pleasure to work with and we look forward to High Society joining us at our event again next year!

This is not the first time we had High Society Orchestra at one of our family weddings. When my sister got married I decided that this is the only band I wanted to play at my wedding. 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

High Society is the absolute best band out there. I previously attended two weddings where the band played and was thrilled they were available for my big day. The band was excellent and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. They are extremely talented and have a wide range of music. Multiple people approached me asking about the band throughout my wedding because they were so great. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I have had the opportunity to work with High Society at several weddings and events. First thing I have to say about the band it that the musicians are all consummate pros! The band is tight and their repertoire seems limitless. They fill the dance floor from the first song to the last and the music just flows through the night endlessly! The feedback from the guests always seems to be positive. I would confidently recommend High Society Orchestra to any of my clients....they create a perfect sound track for that special day!

There is no review that could accurately reflect how wonderful High Society was to have as a wedding band. Allan was a delight to work with and truly a legend in the industry. The band was talented, charismatic , and our guests absolutely loved them! The dance floor was NEVER empty. We even unexpectedly extended the amount of time the band played for by 3 hours because they were too great to put an end to. (And they were willing to do so without a problem!) The band quite literally played on and on and on....

Love High Society. We hired them for a corporate event and the music was perfect. Everyone complimented us on the choice. Allan Heiman was great to work with. Real professional and he has a very impressive resume. Has been in the music business forever. A real pro. Looking forward to the next opportunity to work with him and his talented musicians. THANK YOU!

Top notch! I hired the High Society Orchestra for my July (2014) wedding and I could not have been more pleased. I booked the arrangement with Allan about eight months in advance. Two months before the wedding, Allan reached out to me with a list of questions so that we could come to a meeting of the minds about what I envisioned for the wedding / music.
A month before the wedding, I was then put in contact with Tim, who was the band leader for my wedding. Tim and I communicated very well on all of the wedding details. He has great ideas, so be sure to listen to him! A few weeks before the
