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!! 

Our Sincere Thanks,
Chris and Alli Burton 

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!!!

Most importantly, I wanted to tell you that we did consider another band. They are pretty popular 11-piece band in the Western NY area. I just wanted to say that a friend of ours chose the "other" band for their wedding. WE DIDN'T HAVE NEARLY AS MUCH FUN AT THAT WEDDING THAN WE DID WITH YOU GUYS PLAYING!!! They had 500 guests at their wedding, and only about 20 people were out on the dance floor at a time. The music they played was NOT dancable, and they were NOT good at getting the party started. 

YOU GUYS -- on the other hand -- had almost ALL of my 200 guests 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 waivering 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!
