Hotel & Catering Executives

Ed Chen, Director of Catering at the Chicago Hilton & Towers - The Dan Hayes Orchestra has played our New Years Eve Gala for 5 years in a row! They are a fabulous band that plays every style of music imaginable which is perfect for our black tie event. In 2002 we chose The Dan Hayes Orchestra to play the 75th Anniversary Gala for the Hilton. We recommend them to our corporate and social clients because they do such an outstanding job.

Cindy Doyle, Director of Catering at the Renaissance Chicago - The Dan Hayes Orchestra is one of our first choices for events at our Hotel. They perform at so many spectacular weddings in our facility, and our clients are always very happy. Dan is an excellent M.C. and works beautifully with our catering staff and your consultant in order to make your event flow perfectly. I highly recommend the Dan Hayes Orchestra.

Shelia Crotty, Director of Catering at the Knickerbocker Hotel - We recommend the Dan Hayes Orchestra to many of our clients planning beautiful weddings at our hotel.
