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.”

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!”

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 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. 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 tha...”“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. 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

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.”

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

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

Perfect ending to our special day!

Gemma booked Anthemix for their wedding

““Where can I even start with what to say to Anthemix? The whole band were fantastic, played the best songs and welcomed guests to sing with them. Thank you Anthemix - you were the perfect ending to our special day.””

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

Hypersonix - the perfect compliment to your perfect day!

5 stars - Hypersonix are Highly Recommended
Nastassja P booked Hypersonix for their wedding in Shropshire

“We decided to book Hypersonix for our wedding day as we were really impressed with their repertoire and vocals online. Somehow, they were even better in person! Brilliant selection of songs (especially when bringing the set to a close), responsive to their crowd, getting the guests involved, awesome sing-a-longs and hugely professional in how they acted and sounded. My only regret is that I can...”“We decided to book Hypersonix for our wedding day as we were really impressed with their repertoire and vocals online. Somehow, they were even better in person! Brilliant selection of songs (especially when bringing the set to a close), responsive to their crowd, getting the guests involved, awesome sing-a-longs and hugely professional in how they acted and sounded. My only regret is that I can't remember more of their performance... but that was my fault and not theirs. We wanted our wedding reception to be an absolutely party and Hypersonix certainly helped deliver that! Apart from my choice of wife, they were the best decision we made for the whole day! Our guests absolutely loved them as much as we did and we would 100% recommend them to others and book again in the future. Thank you so much guys!” Read more
