Thrift Shop were excellent.

5 stars - Thrift Shop are Highly Recommended
Laura F booked Thrift Shop for their party in London

“Thrift Shop arrived quietly and set up without a fuss, and just got on with it while the last minute preparations carried on around them. They started bang on time, and when I wanted to bring their second set forward a few minutes they were happy to. They were great, one of the band members (Chris) introduced himself when they arrived, and asked a couple of questions before setting up.

They started bang on time, and when I wanted to bring their second set forward a few minutes they were happy to. They were great, one of the band members (Chris) introduced himself when they arrived, and asked a couple of questions before setting up. They all looked smart and great on the stage, and were all friendly and chatty. They offered to leave the venue and find food and drink elsewhere while they weren’t playing, however I was more happy to have them relax and feed themselves at my party. I thought they were brilliant, and I can’t fault them, what talented chaps. I, along with the rest of the guests, was incredibly impressed with their performance. Thrift Shop were excellent, uber talented and enthusiastic. I would use them again at the drop of a hat, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Communication from Alive Network was also great, I can’t fault the service.” Read more

Friendly, approachable and professional

5 stars - Mojo Gang are Highly Recommended
James W booked Mojo Gang for their wedding at Theobalds Park in London

“Alive Network was helpful for finding the right artist and the platform provided us with reassurance when securing the band.

After booking confirmation we were provided with the contact details for Mojo Gang. Adriano (Mojo Gang's front man) was friendly, approachable and professional when discussing our wedding event. The band agreed to learn our favourite song for the performance of our first dance and from then on wards the whole wedding party (70 people of all ages and origins) was blown away. Mojo Gang's performance was THE perfect entertainment for our wedding celebrations. Their repertoire/our chosen playlist covered pop/rock from 60s to 2000s and got absolutely everyone rocking on the dance floor! Guests were drawn in by Adriano's charisma as well as the band's excellent interpretations of some of their all time favourite hits. Just fabulous!” Read more

She really was a good person to work with and you felt secured about your booking with her. Happy Hour were also excellent in their service. They arrived on time and set up before our reception started, they played our requested music and did everything we asked... and last but not least our guests really enjoyed their performance. We had a small (70 persons) wedding, so not many people were on the dance floor at once, but their performance kept the atmosphere energetic and happy! Thank you for making our day so special Alive Network and Happy Hour!” Read more

5 stars - The Atoms are Highly Recommended
Kris H booked The Atoms for their wedding in Leicestershire

“The service was perfect – booking through Alive Network was easy, and then we were contacted a few weeks before so we knew we hadn’t been forgotten. The Atoms were lovely and easy to talk to prior to the event so we were not worrying about anything on the day. We couldn’t have wished for a better band at our wedding, the dance floor was full all night and everyone had an amazing time.

The Hot Shots were absolutely amazing

5 stars - The Hot Shots are Highly Recommended
Harriet booked The Hot Shots for their wedding in Buckinghamshire

“The Hot Shots were absolutely amazing at our wedding last month and we would recommend them to anyone and everyone. They were just what our wedding needed to be truly unforgettable. My husband and I were originally debating whether or not to have a live band, but both of us now realise that we were definitely right in booking The Hot Shots.

They were just what our wedding needed to be truly unforgettable. My husband and I were originally debating whether or not to have a live band, but both of us now realise that we were definitely right in booking The Hot Shots. It says a lot about the quality of a band when most of the guests (who never ever dance) are still on the dance floor at midnight after the band's encore! Thanks so much guys and we will try to get to one of your gigs soon!” Read more
