Party of Nine is the most amazing band! They had everyone
up and dancing at our wedding. Bernadette is incredible
to work with. She is so accommodating and works so hard
to make sure every detail is perfect. Party of Nine also
played during our cocktail hour and they were so
wonderful.
My wedding was a few months ago and people are still
telling me what an amazing band we had at our wedding.
Every song I wanted played was played and boy did they
nail each and every song. They sounded spectacular and
made sure everyone was having a great time. Our wedding
would not have been the same without Party of Nine. I
have been to many weddings and no other band compares to
Party of Nine. If you do not have them at your wedding
or event you are truly missing out on an amazing
experience. I just cant say enough
about Bernadette and Party of Nine, they truly are great
and I cant thank them enough for making our wedding such
a memorable and fun one!
We love you guys!

Party of Nine met and exceeded all of our expectations.
Considering we were planning an out of town wedding, we
had to rely on quality communication; never once did we
feel that we were “out of the loop”. We presented Party
of Nine with an unusual song and boy did they deliver!
PO9 nailed it. PO9 kept the reception rocking all night
long, there interaction with our guests created an
atmosphere that no one wanted to leave.
PO9 had our guests talking all the next day- no one
could believe they were just at a wedding reception; our
attention to detail and working with PO9; created on of
the best weddings of all time. Thank you PO9 for
everything! We look forward to working with you for our
Anniversary Party.

Party of 9 rocked the house at our wedding!! When deciding
between a band and a DJ for the wedding we went to see
PO9 at Froghair on Transit Road and we were hooked!!
From Coldplay to Earth Wind and Fire, they play it all!!
Our dance floor was packed at the wedding from the kids
to the adults!! There were people on the dance floor
that I haven't seen dance in years!! Bernadette even
came out into the crowd and sang with us and our guests.
They were very interactive and when we chanted for an
encore they stayed and played a few more songs and the
crowd loved it!
Bernadette is extremely friendly and
professional and I had so much fun with her planning all
of the details! She did everything from announce the
parents and bridal party to special birthday
announcements and rocking out with the band. I wish I
could go back and party with them all over again. People
are still raving about our band and so are we. My
husband and I were really impressed and we would
recommend PO9 to anyone who wants to have the best
wedding reception ever!! Words don't express our
gratitude... you guys were awesome! Thanks again!! We
loved you guys!!!

My friends, Sara and Anthony, had Party of Nine
perform at their wedding in September 2010. I loved
them, so my fiancé and I decided to book them for our
wedding, which took place on August 20, 2011. Words
cannot describe the performance that Party of Nine gave
us on our wedding night. We loved every single minute of
it. They played our first dance, Unchained Melody, which
was incredibly romantic. I was beaming through the whole
dance! The dance floor was completely packed the entire
night. They played all of our favorites: Livin’on a
Prayer, Don’t Stop Believing, Sweet Caroline, Love
Shack, and of course, the infamous Michael Jackson
Medley, which lasted thirteen minutes!
Another amazing
treat was Rolling in the Deep by Adele, which they had
recently learned. My cousin’s husband, Dave, thought the
song 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago was a recording- he figured
the band was on a break. When he turned around and saw
Party of Nine jamming, he was astounded- he said his jaw
dropped! They sounded so perfect he thought it was a CD!
Party of Nine is also amazing at getting the party
started. Bernadette, the lead singer, was such a crowd
pleaser! People loved her! She is also amazing to work
with and a great person. When Party of Nine came back
from their break, the saxophonist came down on the dance
floor and played for us while we slow danced around him!
It was so cool! However, the most magical moment of the
entire reception was the last song. We had asked Party
of Nine to learn I Get By With a Little Help From My
Friends (the Joe Cocker rendition). They absolutely
owned that song. It sounded AMAZING. I can’t describe
the emotions running through me at that time. All of our
friends were surrounding us on the dance floor while
Bernadette and the guys belted out the lyrics. It was so
perfect and it was the moment I had always hoped for.
I
wanted a memorable, wonderful last song and Party of
Nine delivered. I will never forget it! My mother
described Party of Nine as “superb”, and my sister said
that they were by far the best band we could have found.
You will NOT be sorry if you book this band! Many thanks
to Party of Nine, the night would not have been the same
without your amazing talent.

Bernadette and the rest of Party of Nine are seriously
AMAZING! Aside from exchanging wedding vows, hiring them
was the absolute best wedding decision we made. They had
the entire dance floor packed all night, and when our
guest shouted for "Free Bird" the band delivered.
Everyone was so impressed with how much they rocked out.
From the start of the night straight through midnight
they keep the party going... everyone wanted an encore
and we got it! They are truly an amazing band who loves
what they do and does it great. Easy to work with,
professional and so much fun I can hardly stand it. I
don't have enough wonderful words to describe how
satisfied we were with PO9. They made our wedding
reception a night to remember. I will be recommending
them always!! Thanks so much to Bernadette and the rest
of the band. That was one hell of a party!

Bernadette, I want to personally thank you for the most
magical night you gave my bride and groom, Sara and Matt
with your music. You put on an incredible show for my
event and accommodated us in every way. The guests said
that your music was AMAZING and as you know, you had
them cheering for more! Not an open spot on the dance
floor all evening!!! I truly have never been so pleased
by the experience I had working with you and your band.
Coming from NYC, I can now say that I have a close to
home band that I will recommend to all of my clients
looking for live music. Most importantly, thank you for
nailing the song you learned for the first dance. Not a
dry eye in the 200+ guest count! You are all rockstars!!!!!
Can't wait for our next event together!!

Thank you so much for an amazing night! You had everyone
up and dancing the whole night which was an especially
difficult feat because it was so hot in there! Everyone

you enough!

Thank you so much for helping to create the perfect
evening for Sara and Matt's wedding. Everyone wanted the
night to go on and on. Maybe Sara has a new career?
Thanks again you were wonderful!!

My husband and I live in Manhattan but we decided to hold
our wedding in Buffalo, New York, my home town. Choosing
Party of Nine for our reception was a no-brainer after
hearing them play during a holiday weekend in Buffalo at
Frog Hair. Party of Nine is undoubtedly the best band in
Buffalo. The band went above and beyond by learning our
wedding song (Sweet Pea by Amos Lee) and learning Piano
Man by Billy Joel to end our spectacular night.
Bernadette is a shining star with her energy and talent.
The entire band is professional, exceptional and
excellent at reading a crowd. We had allot of dancers
and high energy at our reception and they matched the
vibe perfectly. The dance floor was packed the entire
night! A big thank you to Bernadette and the band for
making our day as perfect as ever!!

HIRE PO9 & YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!
We had PO9 to play at our wedding reception. Let me tell
you it was the best decision my husband and I made. What
do you need to make a reception a good
party... good music right? Well PO9 rocked the house down
at our wedding! Everyone (esp. me) was dancing! In fact,
I never left the dance floor. They are amazing artists.
Everyone in the band is exceptional, all have there
specific part in the band and they can rock it. This band
belongs in the main stream, but thank God they're
here. Because of PO9 my guests said my wedding was
the best that they had ever been to!! I cannot
say enough on how great this band is. You have to
experience them for yourself and if you are thinking
about hiring a band this is definitely the one. They
play all different types of music which is great for all
types of crowds. I don't know if the PO9 noticed that
night but there was another wedding reception where I
had mine, most of their guests were on the patio
listening to our band. Bernadette
is very professional, her goal is
to meet
your expectations, runs the party and is an awesome singer. If I
ever have a major party again I will definitely hire PO9. I just want to thank the band for making my
wedding the party it was really meant to be! We will
never forget our reception and it is mainly because of
you guys!! Thanks again!

PO9 was the best decision made about
the wedding after the couple's engagement. We were
looking for a band which would play lively dance music
from all eras which would appeal to all ages, include a
band leader who made announcements for us and got the
crowd on the dance floor. We found it with PO9 - we
couldn't have been more pleased with them! They are a
terrific group with musical versatility and a charming
band leader. You can tell the group enjoys playing
together. Bernadette worked with us to provide a truly
entertaining reception which was enjoyed by all.

We could not have been happier with the energy at our wedding all thanks to Party of Nine! Not only did they learn OUR song (which was perfect) but they completely catered to our guests. The energy was high and everyone danced the ENTIRE TIME. I can't tell you how many family members said that because of the dancing and the music it was "the best wedding they have ever been to". In addition to playing great music that everyone could relate to, our Best Man joined you for "Don't Stop Believing'"! One of the highlights of the night!! Our wedding video proves how much fun everyone had because of Party of Nine!!
We can't thank you enough for making our wedding perfect!!

WOW... Where do we even begin?
Our wedding reception was amazing thanks to you! Since we live in Florida, but had our wedding in Buffalo, we were both unable to come and hear your band live, in person, before our wedding. We sent our parents and friends out to listen to you, and they raved and said you were great... but we didn't know for sure until we heard you ourselves on our wedding night. What an amazing choice we made. PO9 IS OUTSTANDING!!!
Our guests had so much fun, almost ALL of our 200 guests
were on the dance floor at ALL TIMES during the wedding!
I had guests coming up to me at the wedding asking for
your cards, saying that they've NEVER seen a band who
kept people on the dance floor all night!! Out of all the compliments we had at the wedding, the majority were for our choice of band. And not only were the compliments coming from the older crowd, but also from our younger friends. Seriously, we have never seen a band able to keep 20-somethings AND 50-somethings on the dance floor, together, for the whole night!!!
Overall, we had SO much fun at the wedding. The music was amazing, and it was wonderful that you even learned our "first dance" song for us so that we didn't have to play the CD!!! If anyone is
wavering on booking you for a band at their wedding or function, please give them my contact information and I'd love to tell them all about you. Right from the very beginning, over 8 months before my wedding, you were in constant communication with me -- which makes a bride very comfortable knowing that you are there for her!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! You made our wedding reception so much fun. When we think back to that night, we just smile :)

WHAT A NIGHT! PARTY OF NINE MADE OUR RECEPTION!! The dance floor was packed from the moment the music started until the very end of the night. People who normally don't dance have emailed and called stating what a party and how much dancing they did because of PARTY OF NINE.
They know how to get the night started and keep the dance floor packed. Party of Nine knows how to play to the crowd, get in special requests and interact to make everyone feel special. Bernadette did an awesome job keeping everything organized, helping the night run smoothly. We recommend PARTY OF NINE to anyone who is looking to have the wedding of the year or any event requiring the best band in WNY.

All we can say is....WOW! You guys rock! What an amazing wedding we had this
summer. We had the time of our lives at our reception in large part because of you. Our families and friends are still talking about how great you were that night. We all had a ball! My biggest fear before the wedding started was that no one was going to dance. It was quite the opposite! I think all 300 guests were on the dance floor dancing the night away! We were sooooo happy! I don't think anyone left the dance floor all night. I know we did not.
Thank you again for being so wonderful and making our wedding an absolute dream come true. From the cocktail hour, to our wedding party announcements (we loved the Beatles montage), to our first group dance, the oldest married couple dance, till the very last dance.. we all had a blast!!!! You are all so talented. Thank you again! We can't to see our video and relive all the fun and exciting moments with you guys rockin!
Thank you so much for making our wedding a HUGE success! We will never forget it!

LOOOOVE THEM!!!! Party of Nine played at my wedding and they were a blast!! Everyone, and I mean everyone, was up on the dance floor from the moment they came on until 1 AM!
Bernadette is excellent to work with- extremely organized, on the ball and a true talent. The whole band is very professional, and man do they know how to play!
I know for my wedding I wanted a fun party that would have people talking for weeks to come, and Party of Nine made that dream a reality. I cannot say enough good things about them.
Thank you so much for making my wedding a dream come true!

Just want to thank you for making my wedding night a complete success! Everyone had an amazing time and loved all of the music you played. I think every bride is nervous how their wedding night will end up, but after you started playing (at the cocktail hour and reception) I was at ease and was able to have a
blast. Thank you for remembering our friend's anniversary (they wrote a note thanking us for remembering it).
Thank you for playing songs you knew we would love. It was such a special night for us, and we couldn't thank you enough!

After planning numerous fundraisers that need musical entertainment for
nearly 10 years, I've found myself constantly looking for that one band that can fill two vital roles: engage guests and keep them there.
I have finally found my band.
Party of Nine encompasses all that I need to keep my guests happy, and on the dance floor. As Regional Director of a local nonprofit,
Camp Good Days, my primary goal is to raise money, a lot of
it... but I need to make sure our guests are not only supporting us, but also having a good time. Party of Nine made sure this happened. Their wide selection made it easy for the youngest and oldest of our guests to get out on the dance floor and shake their stuff. The toughest part is usually getting those guests to stick around, even after the break. Apparently this is not a problem for Party of Nine - the dance floor was packed from beginning to end. This is a talented group of musicians who know just how to interact with their crowd and keeping them dancing.

Po9 was the best wedding band I have ever seen... and we were truly blessed to have them play our reception. Bernadette is in a league of her own and the rest of the guys are extremely talented and engaging musicians. The songs were excellent (including our wedding dance, which the band learned from scratch) and appealed to a wide swath of personalities and ages. Our guests danced nonstop for three hours and have been telling us how much fun they had ever since. I would recommend Po9 to anyone interested in having a superior band -- made up of very nice people -- help make their event.

Our wedding reception was an absolute blast! And we no doubt owe a lot of that to Party of Nine.
If I may toot my own horn...I knew I had it right! We wanted a talented, energetic, fun crew that could really put some heart into the party. And that's exactly what we got.
All of our family and friends have commented how much fun the band was. The sound and performance were fantastic. Oh man...when the your sax player came out on the floor...SO much fun! The repertoire of music was perfect...some oldies, some swing, some soft, some to rock out to! And
you managed the crowd...your non-stop energy kept the party going 'til they kicked us out. Remember when you tried to say goodnight and everyone chanted "TWO-MORE-SONGS! TWO-MORE-SONGS!" ...not ONE more song, but TWO more songs! One of my groomsmen said yesterday "We never sat down from the second we got on the floor!"
I also remember at the end of the night when you introduced me to the band...They all gave me nods and enthusiastic thumbs up's... I could tell they really had fun playing our wedding. That made me very happy.
Also, as the host, I truly appreciate you being accommodative and proactive. It really put us at ease that it would just be taken care of.
We made the perfect choice! Thank you for all your hard
work!
