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...”

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.

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. Their energy to party was outstanding. All guests were on their feet dancing the night away, what more could you possibly want!? For anyone looking to party, hard. Secure Retrospect today. Knocked it out of the park, or shall i say field... With a view and a giant tipi. Thank you. One extremely grateful, and finally married Mrs G!” Read more

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!”

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”

Incredible! Kept us dancing all night!

5 stars - The Wedding Crashers are Highly Recommended
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!”

The band were excellent! We loved them.

5 stars - The Compilation are Highly Recommended
Kylie S booked The Compilation for their party in Kent

“The band did really well, the music was perfectly varied for all age groups, and all of our guests raved about them. They were also just really lovely people. We would definitely book The Compilation again.”

Swooped in and saved the day!!!!

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!!! 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 n...”“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!!! 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

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.

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

They made our evening reception!

5 stars - The Kicks are Highly Recommended
Charlotte S booked The Kicks for their wedding in Norfolk

“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).
