"I found Alive Network to be very professional and helpful both via the web and also over the phone. It was very good to work with an agency that understood our needs and that was concerned to see our needs met.
Amici Consort were a delightful act that produced a very high standard of music. They were lovely to work with and I would book them again.

"Just wanted to say a big thank you to you guys for playing at our wedding on 16th April 2010. The music really made the day perfect!
Everybody said you two were brilliant and it's just a shame that we didn't get a chance to enjoy more of it as we were off having our photos taken!
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to speak to you both on the day but thanks again."

"Thank you so much for your performance last Saturday I found the group very friendly and easy going, and you set up very quickly needing no extra help. The music set the mood to what was quite a intimate wedding, I particularly enjoyed having you play "Bitter Sweet Symphony" as we left the ceremony. The music for the courtyard reception really set the mood and filled the gap perfectly between the ceremony and wedding breakfast. I would certainly recommend you to my friends and found your service professional but relaxed.
Many thanks for helping to make it such a great day.
