" The Kicks rocked our Wedding! – We were chuffed to bit at how great they sounded looked and performed on the night. The feedback from our guests was incredible and it felt that the band enjoyed being there and it wasn’t ‘just another wedding gig’. If you’re looking for a band that will give you that cheese free credible feel without isolating any of your guests these are the boys for you!” - Paul, Wedding Client

“A lively and enthusiastic group who have immense talent for entertaining a crowd true performers!" - Tracie Belcher Manager Hall & Woodhouse.

“Alive Network's service was impeccable. As for the Kicks awesome. I am getting bored with the number of people who ask me for their details. To quote one of my wife's friends... "when they played "sex on fire" (twice) they were better than Kings of Leon". A brilliant band who made the wedding a serious cut above the usual 4 blokes a drumset and a couple of guitars. To top it all they were also extremely friendly helpful professional and committed to ensuring that every guest had a great night.” -Andrew and Lucy Wedding Client

"Dear Kicks Band,
You played my daughters wedding at The George in Rye,Sussex on Easter Sunday 2011. Everyone who was there really rated your band as evidenced by the fact that the dance floor was active from your very first number. Besides which your professionalism was profound and welcomed by the audience and the organisers,alike.
Thanks for everything. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend your band to anyone.....and if I ever have another big party to satisfy I'll be in touch.
All best wishes,
Mike Winterson"

"Hi Ian,

A very belated thank you for playing at our wedding (The George in Rye - 24th April), I am so sorry we've not thanked you properly before now, it has been a whirlwind since we have got back from honeymoon!

Thank you for making the reception such great fun, I have attached a photo of the dancefloor, I think it was taken during the last song and it really does show what a cracking time everyone was having! I'm not usually a big dancer, but I couldn't help myself, you guys were terrific!

Thank you also for being so understanding when you arrived about having to start an hour later than planned, we really appreciated your professionalism.

All of our friends have said how much fun they had at the reception and The Kicks were a massive part of that. If I ever have a big party again I will be sure to get in touch.

Please pass this on to the rest of the band. You guys are awesome.

Cheers,

Zoe & JP Cadman"

"I feel awful that with so much going on on my wedding day I don't think I really greeted or thanked the Kicks!

Please pass on our huge thanks for playing at our wedding, it was the perfect finish to a perfect day. Everyone has been asking who our band was and were really impressed, we definately made a good choice and would book them again.

Booking through Alive Network was easy and our co ordinator was helpful, friendly and quick to answer my emails and questions! When booking any entertainment again I would definately use this company.

Thanks again! Mrs and Mrs Kingston! :)

"The Kicks were amazing, extremely accommodating to any request (before the occasion and on the day) and made us feel very relaxed about the entertainment side of our wedding.

They massively exceeded our expectations and contributed to making our wedding night extremely memorable, not just for us but all our guests as well.

Alive Network made the process of organising a band for our wedding very easy, being able listen to samples of the bands available really helped and all correspondence with Gemma (our coordinator) were pleasant and resulted in a very satisfied bride and groom!"

"The Kicks were the perfect choice for our wedding, they set the mood for the evening and had everyone up dancing.

The choice of songs was brilliant and they played some of our favourites as requested. We couldnt of asked for better and have had so many guests say they have never enjoyed a wedding reception as much as ours because of the live band.

It finished the day of perfectly. I would definately recommend them, they exceeded all my expectations!

Thankyou so much for a brilliant evening! I am going to have to find another reason to use you again!!!

"I cannot recommend The Kicks and Alive Network enough. My Alive coordinator Rebecca was very friendly, helpful and professional and made the whole booking process effortless from start to finish.

The music at our wedding was even more important than my dress, so we spent a lot of time researching bands and The Kicks exceeded our expectations.

The Kicks are a very talented band and in my opinion, made the reception for us and all our guests. They were very professional and didn't hesitate when I made some special requests for the dj set.

Their performance was flawless and their chosen set list was perfect, meaning that all our guests hit the dancefloor and had a fabulous evening. Their energy and enthusiasm was awesome, they put so much into the performance so not only did they sound amazing, but were visually entertaining too.

Many guests remarked on how much they sounded like the bands they were performing covers of and took their details at the end of the night.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alive Network and The Kicks to anyone looking for a professional service and a class act. "
