Carlyn A booked Retrospect for their event

“Hi Matt, Thank you so much for making our wedding reception such a memorable occasion. I cannot begin to tell you how many people came up to me on the night and asked who the band were and the amount of messages I got praising the entertainment yesterday.

Hayley B booked Cartoon Kings for their wedding at The Curradine Barns in Worcestershire

“The Cartoon Kings were truly fantastic from start to finish, so many of our guests commented on how fabulous they were. They took requests and accomodated some very drunken bridesmaids to boot! One of the best moments of our wedding day was looking around the marquee to see everyone including our great aunties strutting their stuff on the dance floor to the Cartoon Kings.

They took requests and accomodated some very drunken bridesmaids to boot! One of the best moments of our wedding day was looking around the marquee to see everyone including our great aunties strutting their stuff on the dance floor to the Cartoon Kings. I would definitely recommend them, they are friendly, professional, fun and very talented. Great Band!” Read more

5 stars - Hipster are Highly Recommended
Adam booked Hipster for their wedding in Hampshire

“When looking for a band to play at our wedding, I was originally worried about booking a band and paying a lot of money without hearing them in real life. Clare from Alive Network worked hard to find us the right band, within budget and to reassure any worries we had. She couldn’t do enough for us when looking for bands and her efforts are not to go un-noticed, we cannot recommend Alive enough! ...”“When looking for a band to play at our wedding, I was originally worried about booking a band and paying a lot of money without hearing them in real life. Clare from Alive Network worked hard to find us the right band, within budget and to reassure any worries we had. She couldn’t do enough for us when looking for bands and her efforts are not to go un-noticed, we cannot recommend Alive enough! If you are thinking of booking Hipster and you are reading this, all I can say is, if they are available, you’re lucky! Book them! Words cannot describe how good they are! A real top bunch of guys, really friendly, funny, approachable and we really welcomed having them at our wedding. I got the impression that they give 110% no matter what the gig, venue, occasion. Real professional and good guys. The minute they arrived I could tell they were the band, I believe my actual words were “wow, you’re a cool looking bunch of dudes, I guess you’re the band?” The videos and sound clips on the Alive Network sound good, but believe it or not, Hipster are ten times better in real life. I cannot describe how good they were, there were times when I thought I’d actually booked The Killers. Everyone was up dancing all night and the band made the evening, we have all been talking about them for weeks after the event and I’m desperately trying to find an excuse to use them again. Truly amazing and I cant recommend them enough! If you are in any doubt about booking a band over the internet, don’t worry, so was I , I’m the biggest pessimist going but once I heard Hipster warming up, I knew they were something special. Clare and Alive are a great team and treated our booking professional, securely and swiftly. A* from us so thanks again, Adam & Rachel Wilson” Read more
