Feedback
- Gene Dobbins was very professional in his dealings with our organization in advance of the event and the event was a lot of fun! The band was great-- the musicians were talented and we had a lot of fun. Gene and I discussed the type of crowd we were going to have at the party, and his song selection was right on. They also took some requests from the guests as well. Overall, I would highly recommend the Nu-Cullers! -- Mickey C, New Rochelle, NY, 12/9/2011
- We had seen Nu-Cullers at a wedding several years ago and knew that we had to have them at our wedding. They did not disappoint. They were easy to work with, very accomodative to all of our requests, and most importantly they rocked our wedding! Everyone was on the dance floor all night. We heard from several guests that they were the best wedding band they had ever heard. We highly recommend Nu-Cullers, they helped give us a night we will never forget. -- Molly M, Newport, RI, 9/17/2011
- We hired " Gene Dobbs & Nu-Cullers Band for our July 30th,2011 Class Reunion.The band presented themselves with the highest level of professionalism.We love the variety of music that the band delivered.They kept everyone on the floor dancing.They said they would give us a great evening and they did just that.I believe the rating from " 1 to 5" is an insult to this band.I would rate them a" 10" and over !!! I highly recommend this band to any function or event.They are the BEST band around.We absolutely love them. Thank you Gene Dobbs & Nu-Cullers Band. We look forward to hiring you in the future.You all did a outstanding job !!!! -- Dorice H, New Haven, CT, 7/30/2011
- Gene Dobbs & Nu-Cullers are a top-notch, professional band. Market New Haven chose the Nu-Cullers to open up for Sister Sledge featuring Kathy Sledge for the Music on the Green Concert Series.
The energy of the band combined with the vocal stylings of Gene got the crowd up on their feet and dancing. Nu-Cullers played a variety of music and the mix was great. Funk, R&B, Soul & Pop were played at Music on the Green.
I highly recommend the Nu-Cullers for any event where you need a top-notch band to get the party started right and keep it going.
Bruno Baggetta - Marketing Manager -Market New Haven, Inc. -- Bruno B, New Haven, CT, 7/17/2010
- The Nu-Culler's did an amazing job at our wedding! The crowd loved them and so did we. They are talented and very entertaining. -- Stacey S, Stowe, VT, 7/9/2011
- Nu Cullers played for my 21st birthday party. It was a swanky event at the St. Regis in New York City and Gene and the Nu Cullers brought the experience, class, talent, and tunes I was hoping for. I booked them very near to the actual event and they were still willing to learn two requests of mine. They were also extremely flexible in terms of what they played--initially, I wanted background music, and towards the end of the event i was hoping for some dance inducing funk, and they happily accommodated. Would absolutely recommend them. -- Jeffrey C, Manhattan, NY, 3/25/2011
- The Nu-Cullers band was professional and courteous! We had a great time at our wedding. Gene and his folks provided excellent entertainment and was able to accommodate us with our first dance song choice. We chose "Everything" by Michael Buble and the band did a terrific job!
Our wedding was a mainly western style with a Chinese tea ceremony mixed in the middle and Nu-Cullers coordinated extremely well with our translator. We couldn't have asked for anything better! Thank you for an unforgettable night! -- Austin F, Flushing, NY, 10/9/2010
- This was such a fun night, and Nu-Cullers was AWESOME! They played at our wedding, and at one point in the night, we looked around and EVERYONE was on the dance floor (not one person sitting.) They had the youngest and the oldest of our guests all dancing!
The song list and sound quality was great. They were loud enough that you could dance, but a perfect volume if you were at a table you didn't have to scream to hear one another.
Overall, i would recommend them to anyone looking to have everyone singing and dancing at your celebration. (my family is already looking to book them at our next event!)
-- Becca L, Rutland, VT, 5/29/2010
- This is a wonderful professional band and was enjoyed by all. The Dutch Paticipants would love for you to come and play in Holland.
-- Beatrice M, Poughkeepsie, NY, 11/1/2009
- We had the BEST experience with Gene and Nu-Cullers. Everyone at our wedding was on their feet and we wished the party would never end. I have already told every bride I know to check them out and book them early. Thank you for making our day fabulous! -- Susannah G, Wallingford, VT, 9/19/2009
- The Nu-Cullers played for my wedding a few weeks ago and everyone keeps telling me how much fun they had. They got so many people out on the dance floor. Eugene is the perfect front man, and the band accommodated all of our (many) special requests. If you want a crazy fun party and lots of great music, invite the Nu-Cullers. -- Melinda W, Newport, RI, 10/10/2009
- This band was great. We had a special request for our first dance and they learned it just for our wedding. They are very talented, professional and great to work with. I strongly recommend them for your event. Tons of fun!! -- Pam K, North Stonington, CT, 7/24/2009
- We couldn't be any happier with the Nu-cullers' performance at our wedding. Our guests were constantly coming up to us and telling us that they are the best wedding band they'd ever seen. It was a complete success, and I can't recommend them highly enough. -- Will C, Portland, CT, 5/24/2008
- We booked Nu Cullers site unseen for our wedding after seeing the numerous positive reviews on Gigmasters. We were not disappointed! Nu Cullers came in and rocked our reception. Numerous guests asked us where we found them, and more than a couple used the words "BEST WEDDING BAND EVER". They had my 80 year old granny cutting a rug on the dancefloor! The only reason they did not receive a perfect score is because aside from the few key songs that they agreed to play (first dance, etc), only a couple of our requests made it onto their setlist. Nu Cullers did their own thing for the most part, but we would couldn't argue. They KILLED IT!!! Thanks again! -- Jon A, New Paltz, NY, 10/18/2008
- They put on an amazing performance for over 700 graduating college seniors. They were able to handle and adapt to some people coming on stage, and all the feedback I received was incredible. I would recommend them to anyone. -- Linden H, Fairfield, CT, 5/15/2007
- Absolutley Fantastic! -- Brian M, Newport, RI, 1/5/2008
- Eugene and his band rocked the house! They were awesome. There song selection and there sound made for a great night. All of our friends were blown away at the quality of the music. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dance band. There sound is the real deal! I will definately being calling on Nu-Cullers for my next gig. Eugene was extremely professional in keeping in touch with me prior to the event to make sure all the details were clear. Keep up the good work you guys were great!

- These guys were the best wedding band I have seen/heard bar none. Yes it was my wedding, but there was not one guest who did not mention the band and how good they were. They had all 200 people dancing! Great stuff. -- Nei L, Westbrook, CT, 7/19/2008
- Easily considered one of best bands we've had here at the restaurant!
Thanks so much to Gene Dobbs for his professionalism, as well as his showmanship & ability to get people up and dancing and enjoying the afternoon!

- The Nu-Cullers played at our wedding, and were outstanding! They played a great mix of music, accomodated our specific requests, were a pleasure to work with and most importantly... rocked the house! No one wanted the party to end. I had 3 people ask for their contact info for upcoming events, so hopefully I'll get to see them play again soon. We highly recommend them for any event. -- Katherine F, Block Island, RI, 8/30/2008
- The Nu-Cullers were AWESOME! It's been a week since my party and people are still talking about how great they were. The band had EVERYONE out on the dance floor - at one point during "Shout" I thought the floor might break...They were professional, very accommodating, and they truly made the party a huge success. I would recommend them to anybody - they had great energy, and a fantastic sound. Many, many thanks to Eugene and the rest of the band! -- Marion M, Exeter, RI, 8/9/2008
- We could not have been happier with the Nu-Cullers. Their musical talent made our wedding a huge success! They set the tone for the entire evening! Everyone was on the dance floor and had a great time. If you are looking for a band to entertain they definitely deliver! -- Lauren U, Newport, RI, 7/12/2008
- We couldn't be more pleased with the Nucullers performance at our Ski Sweater Ball, it was perfect. Our guests were raving and most comments were where did I find such an awesome band followed by can you get me their information. Really they were so professional, organized, and easy going, all the way around I am just thrilled. I have worked with many bands at the mountain and I have to say the experience I had with Nu-cullers ranks the highest. Bravo!!! I would have this band back again in a heartbeat. The dance floor was packed all night long and even after playing encore after encore they still wanted more! Thank you for making our event a success! -- Bridget H, Lake Placid, NY, 1/26/2008
- Excellent attitude, sound and talent! Perfect volume, tasteful song selection and high energy. -- Dararith L, Hartford, CT, 10/13/2007
- The Nu-cullers are fantastic! They played at a fundraiser for my son's school and were great getting the crowd to dance. They are incredibly professional. -- Finley S, Fairfield, CT, 4/26/2008
- The Nu-Cullers were a fundamental component to our great wedding. At one point every person in attendance was dancing! -- Diane C, New Haven, CT, 7/28/2007
- Gene Dobbs and his great ensemble ROCKED at our private 40th Birthday/Toga party!!! We lucked out when we found this group and the whole experience from booking to performance was a delight!!! The Nu-cullers are a professional and talented group and kept our 80 guests dancing all night long. Even the caterer, who has been in the business for 35 years, raved about the Nu-cullers. Thanks Gene and all the rest of the ensemble for making my 40th special!!! Jessica and Paul Erickson -- Paul E, Manhasset, NY, 11/4/2005
- Nu-Cullers was excellent at our wedding. We had a couple of special requests, and if they did not know the song they rehearsed to ensure they could play it. They got the crowd dancing and we had a wonderful time. -- Kathryn H, Old Saybrook, CT, 6/27/2008
- We were completely THRILLED with Nu Cullers at our wedding on June 30. Every single song was wonderful and the crowd could not stop dancing. I looked at New York City and Boston bands and decided on Nu Cullers because of their price point and obvious skill from the demo, but could not believe how great they actually were. Everyone at the reception said the same thing. I can honestly say Nu Cullers made our wedding what it was- absolutely perfect, and a complete BLAST. Thank you!! -- Lisen C, Essex, CT, 6/30/2007
- Nu-cullers had the dance floor packed from the start until the very end. They played a great variety of music - from the Hora to Shout - young and old alike - a great time was had by all. Thanks for a great party! -- Jane S, Perkinsville, VT, 8/26/2006
- NuCullers were fantastic! They helped make our day a huge success. We have gotten tons of complements post wedding about how great the music was and most importantly, we loved it!

- ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I hired Nu Cullers to perform for a 40th birthday party and they were INCREDIBLE! I had a general idea of what I wanted from a band and Nu Cullers greatly exceeded my expectations on every dimension. To begin with, they are extremely PROFESSIONAL and HELPFUL; they read my event description and were in contact with me well in advance of the party making sure that all details were covered to make my party memorable. On the day of the party they arrived 2 HOURS EARLY to set up and make sure everything was perfect. EXCELLENT VOCALISTS AND MUSICIANS! They rocked the place! I provided a song list in advance that they played during the party. All night long guests kept asking me "Where did I find Nu Cullers? They are jamming!" Not just a band, but entertaining also - very nice touches all night long. If you are looking for a professional band with excellent musicans who will work with you to make your event AWESOME, look no further! I am looking for other events to hire Nu Cullers..... A week after the party guests are still calling about the band. Absolutely a terrific choice! Written by someone with high standards, who does not give out glowing reviews easily. -- Curtis J, Franklin Park, NJ, 10/7/2006
- I have to say - This is one of the BEST party bands I have ever seen!
I have a large family who loves to dance & party & with this band, you never want to sit down! Not only is their music excellent - every band memebr had an outstanding personality. We all partied and danced and kept the band longer than we originally booked them.
They are really a fabulous group and the music is like no other!
We will be having many more parties in the future & there is only one band I would like to be present - Nu-Cullers" they are the best!
If you want to have a "Party" then this is the band!
Thank you so much - The party was such a success!!
Judy Fazzinga & Guy WInter, North Salem, NY -- Judy F, North Salem, NY, 9/16/2006
- Nu-Cullers were so incredible. As the bride, I kept hearing all night from the people at the wedding that they wanted to hire them for parties because they were just that great!
I would recommend them in a second. They were professional and incredibly talented.
They tailored all the music to exactly what we wanted and did an amazing job.
Everyone danced all night!! -- Grace F, Goshen, CT, 9/2/2006
- We had a great time with the nucullers.Unfortunately, the band Played the wrong first dance song, playing A Mothers Love (mother/son dance). The band apologized and I appreciate that but it doesn't change the reality that this moment was tainted Also, when we entered to crazy in love they played the
Whole song we were just standing there so I just started dancing, this was a silly moment that I will look back on and laugh. Both me and my bridesmaid asked them to play our first dance song at the end of the night so we would have our chance to get back that lost moment, they never played it for us. -- Caroline K, Washingtonville, NY, 8/27/2011
- Group was simply outstanding ! Many guest commented favorably on Nu-cullers performance. They were lively, fresh and their sound was as good as any I've heard. I and my bride were exceptionally pleased with this group and will hire them again for future events! I did a lot of homework before contracting with Nu-cullers and I am satified that I got the best value at the best price.
