The Happenings were brilliant!

5 stars - The Happenings are Highly Recommended
Annalise booked The Happenings for their wedding in Monmouth

“Using Alive Network to book a band for our wedding was easy and saved us a lot of time contacting bands directly for quotes and they were very helpful with regards to suggesting bands which matched our criteria and budget, we'd certainly use them again.

The Happenings were brilliant! As we'd not seen them play before naturally we were concerned that we'd chosen wisely but they went above and beyond our expectations. They were fun, engaging, got everyone on the dance floor and sounded fantastic. We had a lot of musical guests at our wedding (some in bands themselves) who commented on how good they were so their positive feedback meant a lot. We'd definitely use them again. Highly highly recommend.” Read more

EVERYONE at the reception had great things to say about you, your approach to the function was professional yet personal, and it was clear that you all really enjoyed what you do!! It was great to hear a band playing such a wide variety of music to such a high standard without compromising on any aspect of the performance, and DEFINITELY added a lot more to the evening than a DJ would have done. Thank you” Read more

5 stars - Happy Hour are Highly Recommended
Chris booked Happy Hour for their wedding at Ardington House in Oxfordshire

“Have finally had an opportunity to sit down and write to you to say a massive thank you to the band for your performance at our wedding! You were everything that we hoped you would be when we booked you and we were not disappointed at all! I do not exaggerate when I say both Rachel & I were so excited, looking forward to the band part of the day and to hear your version of Wherever You Will Go ...”“Have finally had an opportunity to sit down and write to you to say a massive thank you to the band for your performance at our wedding! You were everything that we hoped you would be when we booked you and we were not disappointed at all! I do not exaggerate when I say both Rachel & I were so excited, looking forward to the band part of the day and to hear your version of Wherever You Will Go was the highlight of the day (do not tell our vicar I said that!). Your rendition was fantastic and your rocking tunes were awesome – I suspect you saw Rachel performing many rocking gestures throughout the evening! Thank you for your friendly, down-to-earth nature, especially towards some of the party’s would-be band members (Big Joe in particular for humouring our Crazy Dave’s attempt at Forget You!). I have to say that your reputation precedes you, as one of our party when they saw your name became very excited, having seen you play previously. And notwithstanding she is not as much of a rock fan as we, I suspect my sister may well be tempted to book you for her own wedding next year! We have seen some of the photos you took at our wedding (on Facebook) and they are excellent quality (unfortunately showing my belly as my shirt was stolen from me!) – do you have any more of those photos, as we would love to have them? I have voted for you through that link you sent – hope it helps! Many thanks, Chris & Rachel Derrick” Read more

Craig booked Phoebe and The Live Lounge Boys for their event

“We were really happy, exactly what we wanted. Their performance was impressive and many of our guests commented on what good musicians they were. And they were pleased by our First Dance song choice because it was a song they enjoyed playing!”

The music throughout the evening was brilliant.

“We wanted to thank you and the band for the fantastic music at our wedding on the 8th September. Sorry for the delay in contacting you, we got back from honeymoon early October and reality of being back to work etc. is finally sinking in!

We thought the music throughout the evening was brilliant. Your duo during dinner really added to the atmosphere and created a lovely backdrop for the dinner service. Then the full evening set was just fabulous, so many of our guests have commented on how the vocals and music were excellent. Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the band, especially for accomodating the restrictions on time during the evening, we appreciate you playing until 11.30pm. Thank you very much and we would happily recommend you to anyone considering booking for other functions.” Read more
