What people say Help

  • A note to thank you and the rest of the band for a great evening on the 14th October 2011. You arrived in plenty of time to set up, all went to plan and the music you played was terrific! Many of our guests have mentioned what a “great band”! Please pass our thanks on to the whole group. The lead singer (sorry didn’t get her name - was superb!
    Beverley, Thank you for your help also – Function Central made it so easy and all our interactions with you and your colleagues were immensely helpful!

    Nicole, Wedding, Leicestershire, October 2011
  • This is the second time I have recommended Cloud Nine to my clients... they are fantastic! A pleasure to work with such talented musicians. They were extremely accommodating to the bride & grooms requirements, even learning new songs for the first and second dance! I will continue to recommend them to my other clients in the future.... look forward to working with them again very soon!

    Lisa, Wedding Planning, September 2011
  • Cloud Nine are a great professional band. They put the icing on the cake for our special wedding day, getting everyone up dancing and enjoying the night. A great band at a great price. Highly recommended to everyone looking for a live band for an event.

    Dan, Wedding, West Midlands, August 2011
  • Cloud Nine were fantastic. We were anxious as we were unable to hear them live before our event and the rest of the wedding had been planned with military precision and everything seen before hand. We need not have worried! They were fantastic everyone was dancing all night and great music choices to suit all tastes. DJ and jazz quartet all added to an amazing day. Function Central, it was great doing business with you, a super website and good service. Thank you.

    Emma, Wedding, Oxon, July 2011
  • Cloud Nine were absolutely fantastic - a great way to end a wonderful day! They looked and sounded amazing with a really fun and varied playlist that meant there was something that everyone could enjoy. We would definitely recommend them to anyone and they would suit all kinds of event, not just a wedding. All of our guests commented on how great they were (and some are in bands themselves so praise indeed) and everyone was on the dancefloor! They were really professional in terms of arrival and set up too.

    Chris, Wedding, Nottinghamshire, May 2011
  • Cloud Nine were a fantastic band, they really got involved with the guests and everyone loved them. They were a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to anyone. Function central dealt with everything I needed quickly and efficiently, found me the perfect entertainment and got back to every email I sent really quickly which is especially important when planning your big day. On behalf of myself and my husband I'd like to say thank you to all three acts for making our day extra special.

    Jenny, Wedding, West Midlands, May 2010
  • We all had a great time at the Ball and a lot of it was down to excellent music from cloud nine. the guys arrived on time and were set up efficently without affecting the event. I would definitely book them again. Thanks to all at function central for great service and keeping me updated all the time prior to the event

    Chris, Ball, Stowe, April 2010
  • I just wanted to say thank you so much to you for the excellent set on the 6th November at our wedding party. It was exactly what I wanted and lots of the guests have commented on how great you all were. We will book you again in the future I'm sure.

    Jackie, Wedding, Hampshire, November 09
  • We wanted to write and thank you for your absolutely superb performance at our wedding. The music you played was perfect and we really really appreciated you learning our first dance song. We will certainly come to you again the next time we need a band, and listening to their comments I suspect that our guests will look you up too. Once again thank you and good luck for all future performances.

    Steven, Wedding, Kent, October 09
  • Dear Dan, thanks so much for the fabulous set you played last Friday at Tim and Sarah’s wedding. I was worried about booking you guys without seeing you first (Alistair assured me that you were very good!) and I’m pleased to say that you really exceeded my expectations! Thanks for letting Nathan have a go on the drums too- was really sweet of you and he’s been raving about you all week! All the best for the future and we’ll definitely be recommending you to family and friends.

    Helen, Wedding, Oxfordshire, August 2009
  • Alistair, Just wanted to say how happy we were with Cloud Nine on Saturday. Can you pass on our thanks to them as we didn’t manage to thank them on the night. Many of our guests have commented on how much they enjoyed them and we’ve passed on your details, so hopefully you’ll get a few calls! Thanks again.

    Jenny, Leicestershire, July 2009
  • First class! We have had 100s of band perform here, but you guys were a cut above. Looking forward to having you guys back in May!

    Dave, Promoter, Birmingham, February 2009
  • I am writing to thank all of the band members for a truly memorable night. As you may know, there were musicians and hardened concert-goers present and from their comments, it was clear that your levels of professionalism and musicianship impressed everyone - in fact, many guests asked where they could see you playing in future. Thank you all so much!

    Jane, Birthday party, Surrey, July 09
  • Following our Birthday Event at the weekend I would just like to offer my sincere thanks for the effort and work you put in to make it such a success. The music and set were excellent and I can assure you I will have no hesitation in booking you again if required and will recommend you to friends and family.

    Mike, Birthday Event, June 09
  • A winning but rare combination of musical expertise, taste and personality that assures success before a vast range of audiences. Always the consummate professionals, working with them is as great a pleasure as hearing them perform.

    Howard, Toastmaster, Sussex, April 2009
