"I just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you so much for your help in organising Riser for our Wedding on the 17th September.
Riser were amazing, they played such a wide variety of music, they had everyone up dancing. I even had three different people approach me afterwards asking me how to book them!
I would really recommend them, they went above and beyond our expectations.
Thanks,
Esther

"We had a wide span of age groups to cater for at our event and Riser met those needs brilliantly. I don't remember there being a moment when the dance floor was not fully occupied and the feedback from the evening confirms that. I would thoroughly recommend them for any occasion.
Clare at Alive network was most efficient in catering for all our needs. Answering any questions promptly. Again, I would thoroughly recommend them to any of our friends.
Regards

"Dear Graham,
Riser were everything that we were looking for. Very professional and their performance was fantastic. We had a large spread of ages (18-60) and everyone was on the dance floor. They sounded very like the bands they were covering which was one of the most important things for us and everyone was hugely impressed with them. Thanks for making it a fantastic evening.
Thank you for providing an excellent service and I have spread the word!!
Best regards
Monica

"Our co-ordinator Paul was well briefed on artists and quickly understood the type of band we were looking for. He presented us with a good short-list of bands while at the same time making subtle hints about Riser.
He was absolutely right to, they fitted us, our guests and the wedding day perfectly. Perhaps not a traditional type of wedding band, but they judged the crowd perfectly and didn't even mind the 'crowd participation'. I would certainly recommend both Riser and Alive Network to anyone looking to organise an event with live music.

"Alive Network suggested some good bands, Riser were not the cheapest but were very good value for money, easy to deal with and provided us with high quality entertainment.
All of our guests and even the hotel management commented on how good the band were.
We would highly recommend them, it really made our wedding really special.
Thanks

"Hi Graham
I've just emailed Lewis from Riser to thank him and the band for being so fantastic - they really were excellent and I wholeheartedly recommend them. We had a brilliant time on saturday night and the band just added that wow factor to the evening - I wish we could do it all over again.
You were very helpful when booking them and the Alive Network was well set up so I could see and hear what was on offer, which made it so easy.

"Hi Martyn,
I thoroughly enjoyed my party on December 10th and the band were brilliant. Everyone commented on how good they were and how they got the party going, I was impressed at their professionalism and how they gauged the mood of the event and responded accordingly. Several people asked me how I found them and I have passed the website details on so I'm sure there will be some repeat business.
Thanks again,
Cora
