5 stars - ETA are Highly Recommended
Amy C booked ETA for their wedding in Oxfordshire

“Where to start!! Weddings are meant to be a bit stressful but I got loaded with a lot of stress! 20 minutes before leaving for the ceremony the phone rings. It’s a phone call to let me know my original and carefully organised band has CANCELLED as they all have the dreaded covid!!!

Weddings are meant to be a bit stressful but I got loaded with a lot of stress! 20 minutes before leaving for the ceremony the phone rings. It’s a phone call to let me know my original and carefully organised band has CANCELLED as they all have the dreaded covid!!! The person I spoke to was not the most apologetic and told me finding a band or even a DJ at this late hour was not looking good. I hung up resigned to the possibility of a Spotify reception!! Well as luck would have it. 5 minutes before leaving the phone rings again! A band has been found would I like them! Hell Yes, I would!! So an unknown band turn up. I haven’t heard any of there songs, they don’t have any of the requests I had carefully collected, they didn’t know the first dance. I won’t lie the bar was set pretty low at this point! But ohhh mamma did they smash that bar, they came out guns blazing and our dance floor was full from start to finish!! I couldn’t have asked for a better band!! Elsie the singer came down off the staged and partied amongst us! It was truly wonderful and they absolutely saved the day!! 1000% would recommend!!” Read more

Great musicians, great music, very helpful

5 stars - The R Collective are Highly Recommended
Alexander A booked The R Collective for their wedding in Essex

“We had the full 12-piece band play at our wedding and they were brilliant. Very very helpful and friendly from the start and played great music. They also learnt some requests just for us and they seemed to really enjoy playing at our wedding which means everyone must have been having a good time! Very much recommend - will just have to have another party for them to play at in the future...”

The perfect wedding band - kept us all dancing long into the night!

5 stars - Out Of Control are Highly Recommended
Ed D booked Out Of Control for their wedding in Suffolk

“We were extremely fortunate to find and book 'Out of Control' for our wedding at the last minute as our original band had to cancel. We totally lucked out - they were fantastic! Early communications with Gemma from Alive Network were very helpful. Shortly after that Andre (the manager) was in touch to arrange all of the details for the event. On the night they were flawless. Elliot and the rest ...”“We were extremely fortunate to find and book 'Out of Control' for our wedding at the last minute as our original band had to cancel. We totally lucked out - they were fantastic! Early communications with Gemma from Alive Network were very helpful. Shortly after that Andre (the manager) was in touch to arrange all of the details for the event. On the night they were flawless. Elliot and the rest of the band turned up early, set up a very well equipped set and proceeded to play a phenomenal array of pop and rock floor fillers. Their style comes through well, adding their own touch to tracks that we all know. They were gentlemen throughout, totally professional and really keen to ensure that we all just had a perfect evening. Would book them again for any event!” 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.”

Booked them for our Wedding, and they were absolutely the right choice!

5 stars - The Jukeboxes are Highly Recommended
Peter T booked The Jukeboxes for their wedding in West Midlands

“The Jukeboxes really made our wedding even more special, we danced all night, and our guests loved them. If you are in two minds whether to book them, just do it, you won't regret it! Brilliant Band!”

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 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.

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

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. Communication, friendliness and the sheer ease of approaching with song requests. Could not fault. Even pulling the first dance song out of the bag! Guys we can't thank you enough.

5 stars - A To Z are Highly Recommended
Ed booked A To Z for their wedding

“A To Z performed at our wedding in August 2021. They were absolutely fantastic and everyone had a brilliant time dancing. The acoustic duo were brilliant too. We couldn’t have wished for a better evening. Ben was great over the last 18 months especially as we had to delay twice but he was very reassuring and we managed to get the day we always wanted in the end. I would highly recommend A To...”“A To Z performed at our wedding in August 2021. They were absolutely fantastic and everyone had a brilliant time dancing. The acoustic duo were brilliant too.

Charlie S booked The Wedding Crashers for their wedding in Kent

“Honestly had the best wedding celebration with these guys! Had us all dancing from start to finish and didn't mind entertaining very drunk bride and bridesmaids trying to sing into the mic haha! Thanks guys! Song choice was brilliant as it suited our generation as well as the older generations! They also sung our first song which was so lovely. Thank you!”
