The music was played perfectly.

5 stars - April In Paris are Highly Recommended
booked April In Paris for their Wedding at Horsted Place Hotel in East Sussex

“I booked April In Paris through Alive Network for my wedding ceremony and latter drinks ceremony. I had specific requests with certain music and timings and this was no big issue for the band. Communication was quick and efficient from the moment I contacted Alive Network, and later, Tom from April in Paris. On the day the music was played perfectly, including the songs for the ceremony, with perfect timings. People are still complementing the band now.”


Highly professional.

5 stars - April In Paris are Highly Recommended
booked April In Paris for their event in Surrey

“I would highly recommend April in Paris and so would all my friends now. They made our 50th birthdays. The music was fantastic and the band were highly professional and passionate about what they did. I really appreciated their flexibility in letting our daughter and friend sing, playing in a not so warm marquee in February and even coping when we blew all the fuses and so had no electricity (we got it back after about 45 minutes but they had a back-up plan in case we didn’t!). Alive Network were great – really helpful and took the stress out of finding a band.”
