Excellent Band. Great Entertainers
Guy M booked The Upstarts for their wedding in Northumberland • August 2025
“The Upstarts were one of a number of "great investments" for our wedding day celebrations. Their professional approach throughout the evening accompanied by their friendly and enthusiastic rapport with us and our guests made then an invaluable part of what made our wedding celebrations so special. As a set of musicians they perform with great enthusiasm, a playlist with something for everyone in it and an ensemble tightness you only get from experienced, well rehearsed musicians. All our guests loved them and many made inquiries as to how we discovered them. Cannot recommend these guys too highly. An absolute joy as professionals, musicians and entertainers. The dance floor was full all night and nobody wanted them to stop.”
Maria was absolutely fabulous!
Malcolm U booked Maria Clarke for their party in Cumbria • August 2025
“Maria was absolutely fabulous, we all thoroughly enjoyed it, She is friendly and has a great personality. I would highly recomend her. ”
“Dexter were amazing! Great band and great vocals. All our guests were up dancing. They even mixed into our live Indian dohl players! Fantastic band who we would hire again! Thank you Dexter for making our wedding reception one to remember!”
Katie T booked Christa Keys for their wedding • August 2025
“Christa is just amazing. We would recommend her to any couple thinking of having a pianist at their wedding. She was eager and excited to learn some new songs that were special to us and played beautifully through the ceremony until the wedding breakfast. Thank you so much!”
Madeleine G booked The Arcadias for their wedding in Surrey • August 2025
“I wanted to say a massive thank you to The Arcadias for their help in making our wedding such a fantastic and memorable day. From our initial communication with Clara from Alive Network, to nearer the day liaising with Oliver, they have been entirely professional, quick and responsive and accommodating to our vision and requirement. Telling a band they need to get across to an island in the Thames with all their instruments and equipment did not phase them either! They set up all their equipment inside the same marquee where we were sitting having our wedding breakfast, without any disturbance to us or our guests. Our first dance was magical (Aerosmith) - their performance and lighting were fantastic, and the dance floor was full for the rest of the evening! We had so many compliments from our guests on the evening, and in the days afterwards about the quality of our band! Thank you so much! M & J 2.8.25, Raven's Ait”
A special addition to our wedding
Lydia M booked Gary Caribbean Steel Drums for their wedding in Berkshire • August 2025
“Gary has performed at both mine and my sister’s weddings, and was fantastic both times! Everyone enjoyed his performance and it made the vibe so fun and relaxed when our guests arrived. Thanks again Gary!”
Erin W booked The Compilation for their wedding in Cambridgeshire • August 2025
“The Compilation were absolutely exceptional at our wedding! They kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! Peggy’s voice is amazing! All of our guests commented how good they were. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a band for their wedding - you won’t be disappointed! Thank you so much!!”

Amazing musician, banging playlist!
Elise S booked Nathan James for their wedding in Worcestershire • August 2025
“We booked Nathan for our wedding drinks reception and I wish we'd have booked him for longer. He sounded fantastic, played the perfect playlist and totally understood the vibe of our day. So many guests were coming up to us and singing his praises and we absolutely loved it. Will definitely be recommending Nathan and would book him again in a heartbeat! All communication pre event and his set up was spot on too! ”
