“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.”

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.”

“The band were excellent and we were extremely satisfied. They called us prior to the wedding, discussed fully the plan for the day and were more than happy to incorporate our song choices into their repertoire. They arrived on time and were fully set up in time for the Wedding Breakfast as agreed. From the first Dance, to the live sets, to the interval music they provided, they were excellent. Every guest commented on how good they were. We particularly liked the desire from the band to actively get as many people up on the dance floor as possible which only added to the enjoyment. I would highly recommend them.”

They looked and sounded amazing with a really fun and varied playlist that meant there was something that everyone could enjoy.
