Function Band Reviews

Many guests said how much they enjoyed the quality of the music

5 stars - Pop It Good are Highly Recommended
Rita A booked Pop It Good for their party

“Chose from listening to sample tapes on the web of many trios and quartets. Many guests said how much they enjoyed the quality of the music and vocals and the decibel level for the audience was as asked for loud enough to hear enjoy and still be able to speak to fellow guests which was what we asked on the occasion of our Diamond Anniversary , Rita and Denis Kaye”

Made our ceremony absolutely perfect

5 stars - Indie Shakes are Highly Recommended
Emma F booked Indie Shakes for their wedding

“Really great throughout the whole process from booking to song selection. They learned the songs that were really special to us and it made our ceremony absolutely perfect.

Absolutely made our wedding day

5 stars - The Hot Shots are Highly Recommended
Talitha E booked The Hot Shots for their wedding in Essex

“When we booked the wedding our main priority was a band. I did my research and came across the hot Shots. Their repertoire was our kind of music and we had to book them. Luckily it was just prior to the pandemic before people started rescheduling etc! They were amazing, we’ve had so many comments. People danced all night, such sore feet the next day but well worth it. Thanks so much”

Nick and the gang absolutely smashed it

5 stars - Front Runners are Highly Recommended
Alex L booked Front Runners for their wedding in Berkshire

“Nick and I had been talking about their set for some time, and they were without a doubt the best band we could possibly have picked for our day. Their five-man team, along with a sound engineer, were flawless, and they did not stop cranking out the tunes for a brilliant set. Nick also helped record and produce our walk-down-the-isle song [(Avicii - Levels (acoustic)], which turned out to be a nom...”“Nick and I had been talking about their set for some time, and they were without a doubt the best band we could possibly have picked for our day.

'Front Runners', it was an absolute pleasure.” Read more

The dance floor was full for nearly every song

5 stars - The Arcadias are Highly Recommended
Darren C booked The Arcadias for their wedding in Northamptonshire

“The band were fabulous! Tom who we communicated with prior to our big day really listened and understood our wishes. This was reflected on the day in the evening when the dance floor was full for nearly every song they played. I would personally like to thank the band for playing Sweet Caroline in memory of my mother who passed away last May. Thank you Tom and the band.”

What a band, their performance was insane

“Such high energy with amazing lead vocals, the boys were fantastic too!

Would highly recommend! Such a talented band with great energy and a great repertoire! We had two 1 hr sets with every song being an absolute tune. They provided us with a range of decades and genres and added on a great DJ set where they took song requests in between. What a great night guys thank you! x” Read more

The absolute perfect band for our wedding

5 stars - Dirty Weekend are Highly Recommended
Rebecca P booked Dirty Weekend for their wedding in Wiltshire

“The whole process from day one was so easy. Getting a quote and then booking with Alive Network was quick and simple. When we needed to delay the wedding due to COVID, Alive Network were quick to respond and accommodating of our new date. Dirty Weekend contacted us a few weeks before the wedding and gave us a really easy-to-use spreadsheet which we could both access, and set out everything tha...”“The whole process from day one was so easy. Getting a quote and then booking with Alive Network was quick and simple. When we needed to delay the wedding due to COVID, Alive Network were quick to respond and accommodating of our new date. Dirty Weekend contacted us a few weeks before the wedding and gave us a really easy-to-use spreadsheet which we could both access, and set out everything that we all needed to know really simply. We had a catch up over the phone and went through everything together - this was a great way to make sure we were all on the same page and felt like we’d already met Dave before the big day. On the day, the band were nothing short of perfect. They arrived in plenty of time and got busy setting up, but weren’t intrusive in any way. The set up itself was great - it’s really clear that these guys invest in their equipment and use it to it’s full potential. The quality of music from Dirty Weekend was second to none. They learned our first dance and it was absolutely perfect. We’ve had so many of our wedding guests say that Dirty Weekend are the best wedding band they’ve come across, and we agree!!” Read more

“The Kicks were amazing at our wedding. Not only was their set incredible but they were super friendly, easy to deal with and quick to respond to our messages (we changed our first dance about 3 times, including the evening before and they were so accommodating).

5 stars - Retrospect are Highly Recommended
Jessica E booked Retrospect for their wedding in Herefordshire

“Unsure where to begin... We were let down prior to our big day, by a band that wanted to cash in on COVID. We contacted Alive Network after coming across Retrospect. So glad we secured when we did.
