The Hot Shots exceeded all expectations.

Lucy A booked The Hot Shots for their event

“The Hot Shots, you exceeded all expectations and blew us away!! Thank you! Planning a wedding for the first time is a little daunting, as was the task of picking a band (especially one you have never heard live). The whole booking process through Alive Network couldn't have been easier and hassle free. We were still a little apprehensive solely for the fact that we never heard you guys live ...”“The Hot Shots, you exceeded all expectations and blew us away!! Thank you! Planning a wedding for the first time is a little daunting, as was the task of picking a band (especially one you have never heard live). The whole booking process through Alive Network couldn't have been easier and hassle free. We were still a little apprehensive solely for the fact that we never heard you guys live and having a 'party' after all the formalities was really important to us. Within hearing the first few chords along with the vocals, any previous concerns went straight out the window! During our first dance we were commenting on how incredible you guys sounded! You kept that dance floor rocking throughout both sets. The only thing I would change if I could would be to have you play the whole night! Hopefully you have gigs coming up in the future, as many guests commented on how fantastic you were and would love to see you perform again (us included). I can't rate you guys enough, song after song you smashed it! You played a huge part in making our Wedding reception exactly what we wanted - the best night of our lives. Seeing our guests singing and dancing their socks off on the dance floor was the icing on the cake to an incredible day. I will forever be grateful. Thank you once again! Lisa & Tom Hutchin” Read more

Chris A booked The Hot Shots for their wedding at Newick Park Hotel in East Sussex

“A friend had used Alive Network before, and we spent a few evenings listening to the clips from various bands and looking through play lists. We thought The Hot Shots stood out.

We thought The Hot Shots stood out. Huge thanks to The Hot Shots for performing at our wedding. Fantastic sound, great energy and performance. They really kept our friends and family dancing and smiling throughout the night. Ralph's parents didn't even know he could dance. Amazing what a live band and glow sticks can achieve. Alive Network was perfect for live music ideas, listening to performance samples and checking out play lists. The booking, confirmation and admin all very smooth. I would definitely recommend their services. Loads of people kept coming up to me to say how good the band were. Even the staff at the Hotel were saying how good they were. We absolutely loved it. They were really performing the pieces, rather than just playing them. I thought the dance floor would thin out for the second set. I mentioned this to Rob during the DJ set. I'm not sure if he took it as an insult or a professional challenge, but I was quite wrong. It was still packed when it was time to go home. We couldn't have enjoyed the night any more then we did. 10 out of 10 all round, the night couldn't have been better.” Read more

5 stars - Retrospect are Highly Recommended
Jonathan booked Retrospect for their wedding at Losehill Hall in Derbyshire

“We booked Retrospect for our Civil Partnership celebrations, and they were simply fantastic; at first we were a little apprehensive as you can't always tell from the samples how good a band are, however Retrospect did not let us down. They sounded great, looked the part and were extremely approachable. They had everyone up dancing and their set list catered for everyone.

Andy G booked The Fanatics for their wedding in Worcestershire

“Everything went smoothly, on the website the choice is exceptional, the demos on are invaluable, the band and the agency were polite, professional and efficient - no complaints at all.

The band were just awesome! They got the dance floor rocking! When a covers band sound as good or better than the originals - you know they're a good band. And they added in one or two songs of our own choice that weren't in their original list so we were very impressed with that. Overall I'd highly recommend them to anyone, with a male and female lead vocal they are very versatile and they make a big full sound!” Read more
