I would recommend Alive Network to others. The Footlights exceeded all expectations, from their choice of set and knowing what music to play and when, to the interaction with the wedding guests, to the energy that they put into their performances.

Many guests expressed to us that the band were fantastic and that they didn't want the band to stop at any point during the night! The wedding guests feedback from the night and afterwards were really very positive, with people still talking about them for weeks afterwards.
