“We booked Hipster through Alive Network, and from the very beginning, the experience was fantastic.

Our Alive Network agent (Gemma Jane) was amazing throughout the whole process, providing great advice on our band, other musicians throughout the day, timings, and helping with any questions or changes we had along the way. The communication and support were first class from start to finish. As for the band – Hipster were totally brilliant! Joe and his bandmates were incredibly helpful and professional. They arrived early to set up the PA system for our speeches, played our entrance song perfectly, and then kept the party going all night long. They even accommodated a special request from our MC’s who decided they wanted to have their own entrance song! We wanted as much band time as possible, right through to the end of the night so there was no ‘winding down’, something both Alive Network and Hipster were very willing to accommodate. One of the standout moments for us, was when England won their quarter-final. As soon as Hipster got the nod, they seamlessly transitioned into ‘It's Coming Home’, which had everyone singing and celebrating together – it was such a brilliant touch and created a moment on the day we'll never forget. The dancefloor was full from the first song to the last, and we've genuinely lost count of the number of guests who have told us how incredible the band were. Their energy, talent, and ability to read the room were second to none. A huge thank you to Joe, Hipster, and Alive Network for making our wedding day so special. Will & Chloe ” Read more

“Pulse were fantastic, a smooth set-up during a busy wedding and they absolutely rocked the dancefloor with medleys, bangers and classics. Clearly all super talented musicians, and communication was top notch before the event too. It really put us at ease knowing the band were rock solid when planning everything else around a wedding! We would 100% book again and would recommend to anyone else for ...”“Pulse were fantastic, a smooth set-up during a busy wedding and they absolutely rocked the dancefloor with medleys, bangers and classics.

“The Emulators played for our 60th Birthday party. They were lovely easy going guys and fantastic musicians. We have had so many compliments about them from guests and wouldn't hesitate to rebook or recommend them. Steve, Brian and Paul, you had your work cut out competing with an England football match, but your selection of music still managed to pack out the dance floor all night.

Everybody absolutely loved them and we had people telling us how amazing they were and the best wedding band they’ve ever heard! They sounded exactly like in the preview videos (Holly’s voice is incredible!) and they certainly know how to work a crowd with fun audience interaction and looked like they were also having the best time performing! Even the people sat outside in the cool loved listening and vibing along and commented how epic they were! We had the best time and they absolutely killed it!
