October 20, 2019Cloud 9 String Quartet is amazing!!!
I hired this quartet to play at my daughter's wedding for 3 hours. There were so amazing words can not describe their talent. In addition, they continued to play for the happy hour. Without much direction they knew what they needed to do to let me entertain other folks at the wedding. (I was the mother of the bride). They dress professionally for the wedding ceremony, were extremely polite and willing to make the day special. Would I hire them again for any event? You betcha! I will provide photo's soon once the photographers have processed the pictures.

April 23, 2017Simply Wonderful!
Anna was amazing! She helped to create a memorable evening that my wife and I will cherish forever! We are grateful for having met her and fortunate to have been treated to listening to her lovely music on the cello. It is with high regard that I recommend Anna for your next event.

September 2, 2026Ceremony and happy hour string quartet for wedding :)
We hired Cloud 9 Strings to play during the ceremony and happy hour portions of our wedding. They were awesome! We got so many compliments about them from our guests as well. Giving them 4 stars instead of 5 due to some non-responsiveness/ being left on read by Cloud 9 leading up to the wedding. Overall though, would recommend them :)
Hired as: String Quartet
