5 stars - The Chimes are Highly Recommended
Darren E booked The Chimes for their event in Bedfordshire

“From the selection of bands available, correspondence and ease of booking with Alive Network we were very happy booking The Chimes for our Anniversary Party. The Chimes were all friendly and performed exceptionally well. All of our guests commented on how good they were and said that they all had a great time.”

We could not recommend Happy Hour highly enough.

Christine booked Happy Hour for their event

“We could not recommend Happy Hour highly enough. Such a fab bunch of musicians and so much fun! They worked the crowd and kept their cool when they had a 2 year old stage invader in the middle of their set (she's fast!)! Really great variation of music for all tastes/ages. They were PERFECT!”

You were amazing.

We booked Retrospect for our wedding in March and they were totally amazing, they exceeded our expectation completely. It's always a worry when you hear the band online but they didn't disappoint. Even better in real life! We had so many comments all night from our guests about how great our band is! Even the girls who worked at our venue asked who they were and said they were one of the best bands they have heard! (And they hear a lot!) we need to plan another party so we can book them again! We had a chat to them after our guests went home and they were great guys. They travelled about 4 hours to our venue and then were travelling home again, but that didn't stop them giving us the best night ever! Thanks so much guys!” Read more

5 stars - The Atoms are Highly Recommended
Jack A booked The Atoms for their wedding in Norfolk

“The Atoms recently played at our wedding and were absolutely amazing. They created the perfect atmosphere from start to finish. We asked them to do an acoustic set after the ceremony, made even more perfect when they included a secret collaboration with our maid of honour, which was very special. We would definitely recommend getting the acoustic set! The evening set was brilliant and they had ...”“The Atoms recently played at our wedding and were absolutely amazing. They created the perfect atmosphere from start to finish. We asked them to do an acoustic set after the ceremony, made even more perfect when they included a secret collaboration with our maid of honour, which was very special. We would definitely recommend getting the acoustic set! The evening set was brilliant and they had the dance floor packed all night. The Atoms also provided the night time DJ to keep the party going. It was important for us that we had a band that would naturally join in with the party and they certainly did! We would absolutely recommend them highly as a talented, professional and super fun wedding band!” Read more

5 stars - Academy are Highly Recommended
Dan booked Academy for their wedding at Addington Palace in London

“We both loved Academy. They sung a version of one of our favourite songs with our bridesmaid, which will remain one of our happiest memories of the day. They had a wide and varied set list so we were able to pick songs that appealed to many of our guests. They were all very friendly, professional and punctual and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to other happy couples.”
