I wanted to write to say a big big big thank you for the 28th June. You were really fantastic. I admit that booking a band was the hardest and scariest thing about the whole wedding organisation as it is so important to the whole evening - and I was really worried about booking a band from the internet with so little to go on. Honestly, you were perfect, I mean I can dance all night but so could everyone else which was great! Apart from the music being great I also have to say thank you for your flexibility. The timings were totally messed up and you were so flexible, playing for 2 hours straight was amazing and we really appreciated it. Apart from anything else, everyone was exhausted when you finished which meant there was no problem when they all had to leave at 12. Also re the noise limiter - I have no idea how this works but we did not notice anything so definitely no problem. If you need a reference for future bookings, I am happy to help, definitely no complaints and lots of positive things to say. Thanks again, Rebecca” Read more

“Hi Clare Thank you. We had a perfect day and the band were excellent. They especially added "Let there be love" to their play list for our first dance and Oasis would have been proud of them! We have had comments from lots of our guests who were very impressed. We would also comment that Guy, who was our main contact with the band was extremely helpful and exceptionally personable.

Paul booked The Red Stripe Band for their event

“Dear Rebecca, Both Suse and I are still coming down from our 'high' which we experienced two weeks ago with our wedding. It was the best weekend of our lives, in part thanks to you and the phenominal 'Red Stripe Band'. They were absolutely superb and lived up to their expectation from when we saw them the first time at the 2007 Marlborough Jazz Festival.

It was the best weekend of our lives, in part thanks to you and the phenominal 'Red Stripe Band'. They were absolutely superb and lived up to their expectation from when we saw them the first time at the 2007 Marlborough Jazz Festival. Above anything else, they exceeded our main aim which was to fill the dance floor all evening. We've had some great comments from people, who I must confess, wouldn't necessarily have put 'swing' at the top of their favourite music list, but I think the band won just about everybody over! From the moment of our first phonecall to the last dance on Saturday night, I feel as though I have been dealt with by a very professional company and would recommend you to anyone. I think you're phone manner is charming and thought the band were SO good, I wish I could thank you in person. Please pass on my thanks to Neil and his crew and tell them how much I'm looking forward to hearing their music again. I'm dissappointed I missed them at this year's jazz festival but I really can't complain having spent two weeks in paradise that they call The Seychelles. Rebecca, thank you for all your help, Kind regards, Paul” Read more

Thank you also for all your help in the lead up to our wedding! I will without a doubt be recommending Alivenetwork and E2 to friends. Take care, Pru” Read more

“Dear Paul Thank you for your email. We are just back from Honeymoon so this is the first opportunity to write. The wedding day went very well, and the reception was fantastic. The A-Listers were excellent. They played some great songs, had the crowd dancing and even came on for an encore! They were great fun and made for an excellent atmosphere. Simon”

“Hi Paul, Apologies, I have been out of the office a lot recently onsite at events. The entertainment went down really well with the group, I would definitely use both acts (The Happenings & Acoustic Jass) again. I'll be in touch if anything comes up. Many Thanks, Michelle ”

“Gemma, Effigy played at our wedding on 5/7/08. They were magnificent!!    5 star    10 out of 10! I've passed my thanks to the band, but just wanted you to know how good they were as well. They played 3 - 45 minute sets, and at no point was the dance floor ever empty. Children, teenagers, adults, and OAPs all danced to this band. They were very good.

They played 3 - 45 minute sets, and at no point was the dance floor ever empty. Children, teenagers, adults, and OAPs all danced to this band. They were very good. I lost count of the number of people that approached me, commented on how good the band were and where we'd found them! This was nothing short of an indictment on how well they performed. I will certainly recommend them to anyone seeking similar entertainment. The night ended with 'I predict a riot' - had the dance floor packed, and the guests shouting for more - absolutely perfect. Kind regards Dave Wells” Read more
