“We laboured over the decision to have a band at our wedding because we thought it would be too easy to get it wrong.

After a lot of deliberation we went for The Atoms through Alive Network because they seemed to cover so many of the things we were looking for. Top of the list was reliability & professionalism, but we also wanted a group that would keep all the guests involved as much as possible. As soon as The Atoms started to play we knew it was all worth it & they added exactly what we hoped & even more to a fantastic day. If you want a talented, energetic & professional group with a varied playlist who really get the party going & keep it going, with no extra headaches, then we couldn’t recommend The Atoms highly enough. Everybody was dancing late into the night & we’re still getting great feedback from lots of guests telling us how impressed they were with them & how much they enjoyed themselves. Obviously this makes us really happy - we’re only sorry we can’t book them again & do the whole thing over. ” Read more

Erika booked Happy Hour for their event

“To all at Happy Hour, Thank you for being a part of our special day! It was awesome having you play at our wedding! Your rendition of Coldplay's "Fix You" was amazing, it was beyond our expectation and made a truly memorable moment for us. Our guests loved the music and I'm glad to say you were highly praised. Hope to see you play again.”

The quality of the band was a definite highlight.

5 stars - Chelsea Swagger are Highly Recommended
Philip P booked Chelsea Swagger for their wedding at Coombe Lodge in Somerset

“The Alive Network coordinators were very helpful and made effort to fix any issues and provided a personal touch which was infinitely better than a random call centre service often involved in other services, and much appreciated! Chelsea Swagger showed up early, set up independently and were ready to go. Their appearance was very professional and they possessed fantastic musical talents.

Chelsea Swagger showed up early, set up independently and were ready to go. Their appearance was very professional and they possessed fantastic musical talents. They played a set of jazz standards and then a rock/pop set which suited everyone's tastes and provided perfect music for the evening - the quality of the band was a definite highlight and talking point for all of the guests. Would certainly recommend these guys to friends. ” Read more

Hannah S booked The Hi-Fi Club for their party in West Yorkshire

“The Hi-Fi Club were great, they were really helpful and got in touch in advance. We wanted our friend to sing and play guitar for our first dance song and he was able to use their equipment. They even did an off the cuff rendition of Sally Cinnamon together which was amazing! The dance floor was packed with guests of all ages, and there was a really good mix of songs.

Andy B booked Happy Hour for their wedding at Sandown Park Racecourse in London

“Happy Hour were completely amazing. They were professional, very very friendly and I couldn't have asked for a better band at my wedding. They hold the wonderful accolade, amongst my musician friends, as being the best wedding band we've ever seen. Happy Hour seemed to be enjoying themselves too, and I really hope they were.

They were professional, very very friendly and I couldn't have asked for a better band at my wedding. They hold the wonderful accolade, amongst my musician friends, as being the best wedding band we've ever seen. Happy Hour seemed to be enjoying themselves too, and I really hope they were. They really made the night! Alive Network's website was very well organised and let us see and hear the bands before we booked them, it was also good to see who would be available on the date we needed. We were impressed with the ease of use of the website and took a lot from the reviews and recommendations of others regarding the bands. 10/10 for Happy Hour and Alive Network.” Read more

I'm really pleased we chose The Kicks.

5 stars - The Kicks are Highly Recommended
Ross A booked The Kicks for their wedding at Boreham House in Essex

“Alive Network was really easy to use. It was easy to search for the specific band genre we wanted and I'm really pleased we chose The Kicks. Hearing a few sample tracks from The Kicks made us feel comfortable with our booking but you're always slightly nervous without seeing them actually play live.

It was easy to search for the specific band genre we wanted and I'm really pleased we chose The Kicks. Hearing a few sample tracks from The Kicks made us feel comfortable with our booking but you're always slightly nervous without seeing them actually play live. Thankfully they were everything we could have hoped for. Their performance was amazing. They were better than we could have expected and you can tell they really love playing! All of our guests, young and old were raving about them. They even played our first dance song (Adele "Make You Feel My Love") live which was fantastic and made it feel even more personal. They were there and set up bang on time and they were all very friendly and professional. I can't begin to thank Alive Network but more importantly The Kicks enough for making our special day a truly memorable one! Ian and the guys really were fantastic and I would have absolutely no hesitation in booking them again or recommending them for future events. Once again thank you for everything!!
