" 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 wedding 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

“Absolutely great band, so many compliments from our guests and, we all had an amazing time dancing the night away!

Whole booking process and pre-wedding prep was super smooth and would 100% recommend the guys to anyone who asked. The Oasis tunes and As It Was were our personal favourites from the set!”


Couldn’t have asked for a better band

5 stars - The Kicks are Highly Recommended
booked The Kicks for their Wedding in Hampshire December 2023

“We booked the Kicks to play at our Wedding. The band turned up in good time and were ready to go by the time the evening reception was good to start. They had learnt our first dance and we could not have expected it to be any better than what it was. Absolutely perfect! And not at all their usual style. The set list was great and kept the dance floor ticking over throughout the evening. If you like the look of the set list, you’ll love their performance. I had the opportunity to chat to the band briefly too and what a top group of guys.”


Amazing job!

“Brilliant band, nice to deal with and perfect for our occasion. Played all our favourites and kept the energy in the room high Some wedding bands we’ve seen take a lot of the attention off the celebration and turn it into their own gig, but The Kicks were the perfect accompaniment to the day and exactly what we had hoped for Thank you guys!”
