5 stars - The Sonics are Highly Recommended
Francesca M booked The Sonics for their wedding in Bedfordshire

“The band were incredibly helpful in the lead up to the wedding, spending time on a call with us and humoring our many questions over email.

Well when it came to the day all the guys in the band were top blokes and a great laugh! The energy they brought to our wedding day was nothing short of incredible! Alex’s vocals were fantastic and as musicians I would say they are as good as any I have heard, even a month after our wedding people keep saying how good they were! I think they really enjoyed themselves too as we certainly had a pretty wild bunch who couldn’t wait to dance all evening! They even let me get on the mic, not sure I have Alex any concern that i am coming for his lead vocal role! I will certainly be using these guys again in the future as there may be a few events coming up in the next year or so! To anyone who wants a band that delivers on vocals, charisma, musical ability and performance then it’s a no brainer PICK SEASON!!! ” Read more

They were very clear and helpful with what they needed from us. We asked them to learn our first dance which was no problem for them, we also had the DJ set with our booking and they managed this really well. All our guests were on the dance floor all night long! We also loved the vibe they brought and had so many compliments on the music they played and was one of the main highlights for us and our guests. Would highly recommend. Verity at Alive Network was also very very helpful, especially when we were trying to postpone our wedding during the pandemic! We were very lucky to be able to keep The Rips for our new date and felt very confident using both The Rips and Alive Network to book with. ***** 5 stars from a very happy couple!” Read more
