“Just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the music during the event. Loads of people told me that they thought that the band were great.

Amy K booked Alpha for their event

“Alpha are a fantastic band. They played exactly the right music for each stage of the evening, and they had everyone on their feet for the last set. Mr Brightside was very popular with the wedding guests!! Would definitely recommend.”

5 stars - The Duplicators are Highly Recommended
Rob booked The Duplicators for their event

“The guys played at our wedding, it was a bit daunting picking a band for such a big occasion using just a few songs on the website...but I can only say we picked well! Due to our tardiness there was little time to learn a slightly unconventional first dance, but no problems the night kicked off with a great rendition. The set list was tailored to our tastes, I assume this was based on the song ...”“The guys played at our wedding, it was a bit daunting picking a band for such a big occasion using just a few songs on the website...but I can only say we picked well! Due to our tardiness there was little time to learn a slightly unconventional first dance, but no problems the night kicked off with a great rendition. The set list was tailored to our tastes, I assume this was based on the song list we had sent through for the DJ, and was brilliant from start to finish. Both guests and venue staff had nothing but good things to say and we would have absolutely no hesitation in booking the guys again...a large part of a fantatsic night. They even witnessed the horror of the grooms dancing without any sniggering.” Read more

“Lads, what can I say.... THANK YOU SO MUCH! You were absolutely fantastic from the moment you started playing until the end of the night - everything you played was perfect for our wedding, we absolutely loved the variation of tracks that you played (KOL, The Kooks, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles... awesome!) You really had the crowd in the palm of your hands and you kept them up and dancing all night...”“Lads, what can I say.... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You really had the crowd in the palm of your hands and you kept them up and dancing all night - it could't have gone any better!! Thank you for playing our first dance so well, it was great - shame about our dancing though!! For anybody considering booking this band - I very highly recommend them!!! We had wedding guests of a wide variety of age and musical taste and The Royale really seemed to get them all going. We had so many compliments from our guests regarding the band and I am so glad we booked them. Lads, once again, you were EXCELLENT! Thank you so much.” Read more

The Atoms exceeded all our expectations.

Hannah M booked The Atoms for their wedding in Dorset

“Alive Network is a great place to start to find a wedding band – there are so many artists it would be hard not to find the perfect one! The band we chose, The Atoms, exceeded all our expectations – lovely talented people who really made it an even more memorable night! ”

Mr and Mrs Fleming booked In The Red for their event

“We would like to say a huge thank you to In The Red. The whole set was fantastic, mixing it up with some modern tunes and some classics, all of our guests commented on how great you were. From a personal point of view I would just like to thank you for doing both of our first dance songs, we couldn’t choose between them so to have the option for both was great, it’s the finer details like this tha...”“We would like to say a huge thank you to In The Red.

Lucy T booked Hipster And The Hot Hot Horns for their wedding

“If you're contemplating booking Hipsters because of a recommendation, your own research or have come across this act by pure luck....book them & don't think twice about it. We had an amazing wedding; from the dress (of course!), to the venue, food & guests...it was great... but quite honestly, it was the band who took it from a great wedding, to an unforgettable one.

We had an amazing wedding; from the dress (of course!), to the venue, food & guests...it was great... but quite honestly, it was the band who took it from a great wedding, to an unforgettable one. Not just for us but our guests too. One of our guests was just outside & genuinely thought we'd booked The Killers. Ok, he'd had a drink ...but it shows you the standard. Sod the Killers...we had the Hipsters! We had 2 sets satisfying both the older & younger guests, who were commenting on them all night. I've been to weddings where dance floors have been lacking & that was probably my biggest fear going into the day. Turns out, we should have made the dance floor bigger. It was heaving. My favourite memory of the day by far was definitely when I stood still for a moment, trying to make sure I absorbed as much of the wedding day as I could (as everyone rightly warned us that it would go quickly)...as I stood there & saw my family, friends & colleagues going completely bonkers on the dance floor (half of them with zero rhythm at all I might add), I knew we'd thrown a darn good wedding. Thank you so much.” Read more
