“We chose Mark to play at our wedding party in June as he offered both an acoustic set aswell as a DJ set , as well as playing slightly more 'indie' songs which suited us. Mark was great on the day, very punctual and friendly and created just the atmosphere we wanted. Alive Network were very efficient from start to finish throughout the booking process - I would have no hesitation in booking Mark again or using Alive Network. Thanks alot, Claire & Sean Wilson, Worcester.”

“Booking through Alive Network was easy, straightforward and well organised. The original artist we booked pulled out at short notice through no fault of Alive Network but was dealt with well by our Alive coordinator. Mark James's performance was very good and just what we were looking for. He started 5mins early and even decided to play through without a break which was great! Mark was polite, friendly and well presented. He also interacted very well with our guests. All of our wedding guests enjoyed his performance and many asked where we found him from! ”

“Alive Network were really helpful. Easy to get hold of on the phone. It all put our minds at ease. Mark James came across as a really nice guy on the phone before the event and this was reassuring. On the day he had time for a friendly chat; which was cool too. What we wanted was his unique take on the excellent tunes in his folio.

booked Mark James for their Wedding in Nottinghamshire

“Alive Network made the whole process of finding an appropriate artist really easy and took out the leg work during what is an incredibly busy and stressful time in your life. Mark is very relaxed and delivered on all fronts. When I was talking to him in advance of my wedding I was worrying about a number of different things and his confidence meant that his part was one less thing I had to worry about. He was spot on for our audience (wedding reception). He even got my friends dancing! My wife and I were impressed with the quality of his online tracks and are pleased to say he lived up to them in person. ”

“I found dealing with Alive networks really easy. The service was great, really friendly and very thorough. I booked Mark James based upon his availability and his play list. His playlist was really cool and he is a very accomplished musician and singer. His acoustic style fitted my party perfectly. If you have a fine taste in cool music (think mod), and have a group of like minded friends Mark is perfect for you. ”
