Testimonials

“I didn’t get to thank the guys properly Saturday so wanted to send a huge thank you to them (and you for organising)! It was absolutely perfect and everyone had such a good time! I’ve had so many great comments about how good they were, where did we find them, where are they from!! Massive success, thank you! Their relaxed attitude was also much appreciated and fitted into our style, we really went with the flow from start to finish! I’m still waiting to have a bridezilla moment! Maybe for the next one!!! Massive thank you for Below My Feet too, it was perfect!!! Amazing weekend all round and thank you for your contribution to it!!”Sara Hunt – Wedding, Gloucestershire

“Alive provided a truly excellent show for our wedding. Their flexibility to accomodate our requests with setup, set list and use of the kit was much appreciated. Most importantly, the band are superb. Our guests all loved their work and everyone commented as much. We didn’t expect so many people to be dancing as long as they did. We would definitely book them again. cheers!!”Tom & Laura – Wedding, Pennyhill Park Hotel & Spa, Surrey

“Wow…first class customer care from when Iain arrived to set up all the sound and lighting equipment – all very professional. The band are a pleasure to deal with, and are clearly skilled musicians who are able to adapt to their environment and audiences musical tastes…they really do Rock! Alive and Iain created a very special night of live music that my family and guests will not forget. Thank you so much. 10/10. Paul”Paul Simpson – Party, Hertfordshire

“Guys, Lauren and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing absolutely brilliantly at our wedding on Friday. All of our guests have been raving about your sets and we absolutely loved it! Thanks also for playing extra songs after the set had concluded – it went down really well as you saw from the enthusiastic reaction of our friends. On a personal note, thanks for letting me gatecrash the stage and sing with you. It was another magical moment in what was a truly awesome day! We’ll certainly be recommending you to our families and friends. All the very best and hope to see you at some stage in the future. Cheers, Chris & Lauren x”Chris & Lauren – Wedding, Dorton House, Buckinghamshire

“Hi, Just a quick note to say thank you for playing at our wedding on the 19th. Everyone absolutely loved the music and we were thoroughly impressed with your professionalism. If we needed a band in the future, we’d definitely book you again. Thanks, Karen and Paul”Karen & Paul – Wedding, Suffolk

“Alive played our wedding on Saturday night and were absolutely brilliant! They totally rocked. Everyone was dancing, young and old, until the bitter end and everyone commented on how good they were. My friends, husband and I are pretty hard-core music fans and we like to think we know what we’re talking about when it comes to music and these guys were stunning! They thoroughly surpassed our expectations and made for an unforgettable night. Great songlist, loads of energy and really nice lads too. Booking, correspondence and organisation was seamless. They were happy to arrange for the sound engineer to set up a bit early so we could play our own playlist first which was very helpful too. Thanks so much guys. You finished off our day with a party that we’ll never forget. Hope you enjoyed yourselves too! Love Bex & Rob x”Becky & Rob – Wedding, Kent

“Exactly the kind of music, sound and band we were looking for. They are extremely cool and totally rocked the venue. We went from a relatively empty dance floor to a “mosh pit” within a few songs. One of the female attendees texted us after the event to ask where on earth we got such a “cool, hip and totally fit” band esp the drummer apparently. So yep would recommend hiring them anyday of the week.”David Butler – Wedding, Kent

“On behalf of Petersfield Events, a HUGE thank you for recommending Alive to us for our festival – they were absolutely amazing!! From the outset they had the whole crowd jumping about and dancing to tunes that we’re all used to hearing on the radio all the time. A lot of people said that if they closed their eyes and listened it was just like having their favourite band actually on stage – so accurate was their performance. And when they opened their eyes it even looked like it too – as the band looked so cool!”Pete Dew – Petersfield Events

Oh my just wanted to thank you guys for your amazing performance on Saturday, we absolutely LOVED you and you made our first song sound better than the original. You even brought tears to some eyes! Such a fun bunch and so talented. We are so glad we found you guys. We loved how you got stuck in and had fun at our wedding too, it made us so happy to see you having a great time. Thanks as well for lending my brother your guitar and then drumming as a background whilst on break. What a lovely thing to do we are so grateful! My brother said it’s so rare to find guys that both sing and drum! The music was just to our taste we were so happy and danced the night away. My wedding was perfect and you guys helped make it that way and I’m now looking for excuses to hire you again! Can’t express how happy and impressed we are !! Thanks to everyone behind the scenes for being wonderful and accommodating of our songs. I want to hold on to these memories forever!Cat and Damion – Wedding, Milton Keynes

“The news is all good! We’ve had nothing but fantastic comments from our guests, and the compliments are still coming in ‘where did you get them from – they were fantastic’ etc. Everyone I spoke to thought they played to the highest calibre, huge repertoire and the whole evening absolutely brilliant! I found Nick to be extremely professional and pleasant – and certainly very flexible to our needs. He was able to deal with some last minute changes very efficiently. It’s so important to get the music right at an event like this, and in choose Alive we certainly did – I’d have no problem recommending them to others.”Alyson Lucas – Wedding, Ardington House, NR Oxford

“A massive ‘Thank You’ to Alive for an amazing display at our wedding at Ingleside House in September 2014. We were so glad we found you guys and after listening to over 100 bands it was good to find one where the lead signer could actually sing!! The speeches ran over and you waited patiently and then listening to you play Moondance with my wife’s brother singing made both our days and we really appreciated your flexibility. The dance floor was full all evening and everyone commented on how awesome you guys were. On a school report I would give you 10 out of 10 for your flawless performance. I honestly think that you guys have a massive future and my advice is to keep doing what you do. I can’t recommend you enough and I will certainly book you for the next function we have. Very best of luck for the future and thanks again for making our wedding day so special”Mr and Mrs Hughes – Wedding, Gloucestershire

“I just wanted to say what a fantastic band Alive were when they performed at my 50th birthday party on Saturday night. You never know whether a band will live up to their hype but the guys did an amazing job and sounded every bit as good as we had hoped for. They had everyone on the dancefloor from when they started to the very end and all my guests thought they were excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who wants a great evening!”Paul Johnson (CEO Kew Green Hotels) – Private Party, Surrey

“Absolutely the best band I have ever seen!!!! Luckily for me it happened to be at my wedding! Accommodating to say the least and read the crowd like a children's book!!!! Bloody brilliant!”Nancy Thornton - Wedding, The Bartley Lodge Hotel, Cadnam

“We would both like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Alive for playing at our wedding and for making the party extra special. We were so impressed at how professional and flexible you were as getting all the equipment onto the HMS Belfast was not an easy task. Our whole day was so special, full of fun and laughs and having a great band was very important to us as we love a good dance. You guys certainly made sure that everyone filled the dance floor throughout the whole night, we didn't want you to end! You are a lovely bunch of guys who were very accommodating to all our needs and everyone loved you! Thank you SO much, we will never forget our wedding day or you guys, we will definitely book you again and recommend you to anyone and everyone!”Leanne and Paul - Wedding, HMS Belfast, London

“We'd like to say a massive thank you to Alive, they were a lovely bunch of lads, very professional, and the quality of performance was acceptionaly high. I have received many compliments about the band from our wedding guests, and have had people asking for their details. Many thanks,”Kyle & Vicki Stewart - Wedding, West Sussex

“Just wanted to let you know that you were amazing at our Sons wedding at Crockwell Farm in Northamptonshire. We have been giving out your contact details to lots and just wanted to thank you for driving such a long way to make the day we had even more perfect .. You were Fab and hopefully you may return to the idyllic location if Crickwell Farm .. Hope you enjoyed the pasties Cheers”Paul & Di - Wedding, Crockwell Farm, Eydon, Northamptonshire

“Hello Phoebe, Alive were incredible, they were all that we hoped for and more. Many guests commented on how fantastic they were. Our photographer who has been to many weddings over the last 8 years said they were the best wedding band he had seen. They really got the party started and kept it going until the end. We would also like to thank them for playing our first dance song. I couldn't recommend them enough and almost want to get married again so we can book them!!!! I hope the guys enjoyed the evening too. Thank you for all your help in the run up to the wedding. Many thanks”Hannah and Matthew Wood - Wedding, Rugmer Hill Farm, Yalding

“'Alive' were absolutely awesome!!!! We have seen many live bands and performers and these boys were the best, and we had them for our wedding. We are completely over the moon. The voices and talent with instruments were some of the best and we have had ALL our guests comment on how great they were. Please pass on our thanks onto the boys. We are dying to see them perform again so will definitely recommend to our friends and family.”Jo & James - Wedding, The Elvetham Hotel, Wintney, Hook

“To Alive, wow wow WOW!!! Thank you so much for playing at our wedding at 'The Elvetham' in Hampshire. We were so happy with the performance. There are so fantastic and ALL our guests were raving about them. We cannot say enough good things about them! Also a huge thanks to Everyone who helped with the booking! It was too easy so thanks! All the best.”Joanna and James - Wedding, The Elvetham Hotel, Hartley, Wintney

“Hi Phoebe, What can I say...Alive were just amazing!! They made the wedding evening so special & everyone was on the dance floor the minute they started playing. Everyone is still talking about how fantastic they were! We are so extremely happy we found them.Thank you so much! From two very happy newlyweds,”Imogen & Damian - Wedding, The Orangery, Wrest Park, Silsoe, Luton, Bedfordshire

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for a fantastic night of brilliant music. I have lost count of the number of friends who have commented on your band – they loved the music and appreciated how talented you all are.”Mandy Ling - Party, The Warnham Barn, Warnham.

“I just wanted to say how amazing the boys were, from start to finish everyone was up on their feet dancing - including me!! I didn't leave the dance floor all night and no one wanted them to stop playing. Finding a band was, for us, one of the hardest jobs but we couldn't be happier with our choice and so many people have commented on how brilliant they were. We feel very lucky that we found Alive online as the evening of our wedding was such an important part for us and it was just perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”Natalie - Wedding, Upwaltham Barns, Chichester

“We wanted to say a giant thank you to Alive. I was wary of booking a band based only on a video but they were even better live. Seems like wedding bands have changed - these lads were so cool our guests thought we'd hired them on some kind of exclusive deal. Their sound and energy made the atmosphere electric and everyone was dancing all night! They were stuck in traffic for hours but were in a good mood all night and they learnt our (little known) first dance tune , including audience participation, based on a you tube video. Seemed like a big ask, but they did it anyway and it sounded great. For anyone looking I would say whatever your budget, the music is make or break so scrimp on the shoes, ditch the favours, do DIY everything, whatever it takes...but book the band! Hand on heart our wedding would not have been the same without them. Please pass on our feedback and sincere thanks for their trek down to Devon and making our night.”Heather Roberts - Wedding, River Cottage HQ, Axminster

“We had the most amazing day. Everything about it was so special. One thing we were really looking forward to was you guys, the band, and you did not disappoint. You were brilliant from start to finish. You set up on time without disturbing anything, played our first dance exactly how we had requested and kept everyone on the dancefloor all night. Our younger friends and older relatives alike commented on how much fun they had dancing and how good the band was. We cannot thank you enough. All the best.”Andrew and Lizzie - Wedding

“Hi Guys, just wanted to thank you again for the incredible set on Saturday. You absolutely smashed it and so many people have said you were the best band from any wedding they've ever been to...just what we wanted to hear. Seriously, you made the evening something incredible. Legends.”Carly Bewley - Wedding, Tortworth Court Hotel, Tortworth

“I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for being awesome at our wedding, you were absolutely fantastic. Your performance was spot on and you managed to get everyone feeling lively and up on the dance floor. I in particular want to thank you for how well you handled the sound limiter. I was told by the venue that they'd had loads of bands play there before and they'd had no problems, which can't be right. I was very worried about it after it cut out the first time but you did so well to keep within its limits. Everyone commented just how good you all were. Playing in bands ourselves, music is very important to us, and you really made our reception perfect. Thank you.”Amy Hennessey - Wedding, The Italian Villa, Poole

“Alive, were an amazing band with the perfect sound and didn’t miss a beat, they made our first dance PERFECT with an amazing rendition on ’noah and the whales’, ’5 years time’. During there 3 sets every single song was perfectly produced, and everyone at our wedding said how amazing they where and that, it was a perfect match for our wedding. The band were very professional and even being a 5 piece they were very compact. Thank you for an amazing night!!!”Jamie Gibbons - Wedding, Moggerhanger Park, Bedford

I’ve had numerous comments from guests as well, who all thought they were fantastic. And they were good crack as well, putting up with the drunken louts! So thank you!! And please pass this on to the guys, as I know it was a long way to travel, but it’s massively appreciated. All the best…”Stephen Wooldridge - Wedding, Swallows Nest Barn, Warwick

“Finding a good wedding band was a real challenge for us. Pete used to be in a band and I am SO fussy when it comes to cover bands. I have a really high cringe factor and an aversion to cheese! We wanted a cool band that represented the style and vibe of our wedding and these guys were absolutely perfect. They looked good, sounded amazing and the authentic 'real' band sound. Everyone loved them and all of our guests were up on the dance floor within 10 seconds of them starting to play. I will absolutely keep them in mind for future events and recommend them to friends.”Holly Patrick - Wedding, The Vaults, London

“Alive were amazing! The first dance was brilliant and we were very surprised to hear you had only learnt it the day before - it sounded like you had been playing it for ages! Alive were really nice and accommodating - you didn't even seem to mind when our guests decided to 'help' with the singing! All our guests have said since the wedding, you were the best band they've seen! You definitely were one of the highlights of the day! Thanks for everything - you were awesome!”Emma Snowdon - Wedding, The Octagon, London

“Hi Amy, We would just like to say a huge thank you to the band for their entertainment yesterday, they were absolutely amazing and were everything we wanted for our wedding. Our guests loved them and were very complementary. I've passed the band details on to a few that have asked. We'd also like to say thank you to the band for being so flexible and friendly, playing our requests both live and recorded tracks, and posing for some awesome photos! Which we'll send on when we get them from the photographer.”Cheryl and Rob - Wedding, Tewin Bury Farm Hotel, Herts

Whilst writing may I take this opportunity to thank your company and the band for the fantastic performance on the day. We had many people compliment us on the quality of the band and how much they enjoyed the music. Thank you so much and well done.Andrew Omand - Wedding, Wasing Park, Reading

A big thank you to all involved at Tailored Entertainment, firstly to Amy Roberts who was always very prompt and professional in keeping me updated with the booking and answering any questions I had. We couldn't of been happier with the band (Alive) with all aspects from timings, communication but most importantly their performance. We had numerous compliments from many guests stating how good the band sounded and how the playlist was exactly what we would of wanted to the day. A big thank you also to the band for being so relaxed/flexible about letting x2 of our friends perform a song during their set. Please pass on my thanks to the band for their fantastic performance on our wedding day and a definite recommendation to my friends for any future events.Mark Whitehouse - Wedding, The Oyster Shed, London

Absolutely fabulous!!! Exceeded all our expectations, they played a great set and played it so well. Can't recommend them enough, we are seriously organising another party so that we can have them back! Please pass on our sincere thanks and thanks for your help.Gareth and Rachie - Wedding, Arbour House, Somerset

Everybody at my wedding commented on how fantastic the band was. In fact, they were a highlight of my day! We sent them a detailed explanation of exactly what we wanted, what songs we did/didn't want and they far exceeded all our expectations. They had everyone jumping all night....they are an extremely talented bunch!Hanne Steffens - Wedding, Patrick's Barn, West Sussex

The band were absolutely brill - they had everyone dancing right up until the end, and everyone commented all night on how great they sounded. They even accommodated my grandma having a bash on the drums! Sorry guys! We will definitely be recommending them to all our friends due to get hitched soon. Thank you so so so much!Danni Hallsworth - Wedding, Cripps Barn, Cirencester

Couldn't recommend a band more strongly. From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was packed, with some of our favourite memories of the day happening because of them. Absolutely brilliant. Everyone who came has said how amazing they were. Love them.Charlie spencer - Wedding, Templars Barn, Hungerford

Absolutely brilliant! The band played at our wedding and it was such a party, everyone there commented on how amazing they were! Book them book them!! You will not be disappointed!Alex Jones - Wedding, Trafalgar Tavern

Just a note to please pass on our thanks to Alive - they were the best wedding band we have ever ever heard or seen and made the day for us. Every song was just cracker after cracker. Really top stuff that had most of the wedding on the dance floor all evening.Emily and Tom - Wedding, Larmer Tree Gardens, Wiltshire

They were truly exeptional. Absolutely brilliant. Lovely guys. All the guests thought they were the best band ever!! Stunning. Have just reccommended them to two more couples. Totally brilliant.John Dodds - Wedding, Larmer Tree Gardens, Wiltshire

In short. The guys were amazing. We had a ball, An absolute awesome time with them. Our friends and family would regularly grab us between sets and excitedly go into drunken detail about just how great the band were, how brilliant the songs were and so we were pretty chuffed with ourselves. 😊 me especially as I chose them. We had so many compliments and I think the biggest compliment was, that even the most reluctant dancers couldn't help but bound around like crazy people as they were enjoying the music and the atmosphere so much! The guys couldn't have been more lovely and adaptable and even helped when we had an unexpected power cut during a set. They interacted with the crowd brilliantly and chatted with us between sets. Our wedding planner was also a fan and couldn't be more complimentary!!! All our friends wanted to book them for future events (not even planned yet) and when we have our tenth anniversary they will be first on our itinary to rebook 😊 It was so nice, after a fairly stressful process, to just let off some steam and dance and enjoy ourselves and immerse ourselves in the atmosphere with our friends and family. And it was a pleasure to occasionally take a minute and watch everyone interracting with each other and dancing away with no inhibitions. Thank you so so much. Both me and kyle agreed it was one of our favourite parts of our day! We would recommend them wholeheartedly for any big event. We are one very happy bride and Groom. ❤Jessica Newbery - Wedding, Oak Tree Farm

They were incredible! Seriously talented and such lovely guys too. We are so happy we booked them!Katharine Hayne - Wedding, Hampton Court House

The band were absolutely amazing and made our day. The compliments from the guests are still pouring in and we have already recommended the band to others. Absolutely faultless. Also, Tailored Entertainment were great to deal with.Ben Gurluk - Wedding, The Orangery, Maidstone

I just wanted to say how amazing alive was on Sunday for our wedding day! Everyone said how brilliant they were! And we loved our first dance song! Rebecca - Wedding, Coombe Abbey, Coventry

5/5 - The process from start to finish with Tailored entertainment has been fantastic. We wanted a band that played rock music for our wedding and Alive were amazing, they took note of all of our feedback and played some great stuff throughout the evening. The process for the DJ in between the bands sets was really easy and they really helped to set the mood for our wedding reception. They delivered our first dance song brilliantly and throughout the night the music was fantastic and had people dancing right up to the end. We have had so many requests for the name of the band after our wedding and wed highly recommend them to anyone!!Stuart - Wedding, Wasing Park, Reading

5/5 - The band were bloody amazing! They far exceeded our expectations and were a massive hit with all our guests and the venue even said they were awesome! It was the most amazing night, the live music played on an alfresco dance floor made for the perfect summer wedding evening. Thank you so much! I will continue to highly recommend Alive.Jenny - Wedding, Grittleton House, Wiltshire

5/5 - We had the best time and the band was a massive part of that. Everyone was raving about their great party energy and performance. They were Simply awesome in every way and made the night one we wont ever forget. Thank you so much. HMRC xCaroline - Private Party, Surrey

5/5 - We were slightly nervous about the music as there were so many noise/sound constrictions at the venue, but we couldn't have been happier with the band. We love music, especially seeing live music, so had pretty high expectations, but the performance was fantastic. A special thank you to the band for doing such a great rendition of our first dance song.Jim - Wedding, Sopley Mill, Dorset

Honestly we could not have been more impressed with the band - really friendly, professional and fun. They had to compete with great weather keeping everyone outside for the first part of their performance, but they really were spot on. Through the night they kept up the energy and made the night really memorable. The venue had an automatic sound cut-off if the volume was exceeded the limit for too long, just to prove how good they were they managed to blow it up at the end of their encore song - what a sendoff - what a performance!Alex - Wedding, Hendall Manor Barns, Uckfield

Very professional. Friendly, and sorted their stuff out with no fuss at all. We really appreciated them letting the bride's dad play with them for a song. Lots of compliments from the guests. Really good stuff.Briony - Wedding, Copeland Gallery, London

Alive band were flawless throughout the whole night!Luke - Wedding, Parley Manor, Dorset

Very professional. Friendly, and sorted their stuff out with no fuss at all. We really appreciated them letting the bride's dad play with them for a song. Lots of compliments from the guests. Really good stuff.Briony Bowe Wedding, Copeland Gallery, London

Just a quick email before we pop on our honeymoon to say thank you. You guys were awesome. Absolutely brilliant. You helped make or amazing day a truly epic day. Bang on our kinda thing. Very close friends of ours lost their daughter exactly a year ago to the date of wedding. It was probably the first time they had been out celebrating since her death and they were on the dance floor carving up some moves. It was really nice to see. The music was great; birthday song for Laura incredible. I couldn’t stop laughing. I think I made a complete tit out of myself, but it had a great time. That’s what is all about. Thank you so much. Pete & Jen - Wedding, Farbridge Barn, West Sussex

The band were absolutely fantastic and really made or day. They were really accommodating with song choices and picked some great numbers themselves. They were friendly and relaxed on the day and really easy to work with. Stuart & Louisa - Wedding, Waterside, Horsham

Alive's act was fantastic and played a big part in what was a memorable day. They were very accommodating as to set timings and seemed to adapt easily to the space constraints placed on them in the pub venue. They appeared unfazed by an impromptu performance by a Welsh male voice choir that happened to be performing up the road earlier in the evening! I was very impressed with the sound levels; somehow they seemed to be plenty loud enough in the dance area and at the same time people sitting a few metres away were able to talk to each other! Everybody I've spoken to since the night have said how much they enjoyed the band's performance. The set list was perfect for the occasion and the dance floor was filled! The interaction with everyone at Tailored Entertainment was also very easy and professional and made for an easy booking experience. All in all, a very enjoyable and professional performance.Chris - Wedding, The Brickmakers Pub, Swanmore

The band were really great. They kept my guests dancing when they were playing. Just so sorry I didn’t get a chance to thank them personally! Can you please pass on my personal thanks to them? We were all so impressed by them.Lara - Wedding, The Matara Centre Tetbury

Band was very easy to talk to. Everyone commented how good they were. All round excellent and will be recommending to other people for events. Thank you for making our wedding evening very enjoyable.James - Wedding, Buxted Park Hotel, Uckfield

ALIVE were incredible..... our wedding reception would truly have not been what it was without them. as musicians they were more than we could have hoped for! The songs they learnt were perfect... each song was absolutely brilliantly played. But also their attitude was fantastic. They were polite and hard working and really cooperative with the venues schedule and restrictions. True professionals - our guests could not of spoken more highly and Sam and I could not be happier. Catheryn Fellowes - Wedding, Town Hall Hotel & Apartments, London

They made our first dance feel very special and followed that with three excellent sets! All of our guests really loved listening to the band and there was plenty of dancing! Thoroughly enjoyed them playing and it was exactly what we were after.Bernadette Walsh - Wedding, Cripps Barn, Gloucestershire

Alive were incredible! Cannot thank them enough. They made our wedding party one of the best ever. I knew they were good from the tracks online, but live, they were next level. Genuinely, they were jaw-droppingly brilliant! Already looking for excuses to book them again. Such nice guys too, wish we could just all be mates from now on.Karl Davies - Wedding, Southend Barns, West Sussex

We couldn’t have been happier with the band, they were absolutely brilliant and we’ve had so many comments from guests about how good they were. They turned up on time, were fine with having to wait around a while before setting up as we were cutting the cake, had no set up issues whatsoever and were friendly and courteous throughout. And on top of that and most importantly, the sets they did were class and the dance floor was literally packed with all ages for the whole time, which is just what we were after. We couldn’t have asked for anything more and genuinely could not recommend them highly enough. Many thanks to you and Tailored Entertainment as well for ensuring the booking process was great – it was just the sort of low-hassle engagement we needed in the run up to the eventMark Jones - Wedding, Private Address

Just awesome!! Our guests loved this band! They responded really well to the audience and interacted perfectly! They even let me and Richard get up on stage with them! We couldn’t have asked for better!Lauren & Richard Matthews - Wedding, Southend Barns, West Sussex

The band were brilliant, despite audience members being low due to the excellent weather and most of our attendees being outside. It set just the right tone for our evening and we would definitely book again for future events.Thank you!Laura Elliott - Corporate, Norton Park Hotel, Winchester

They were great, flexible, professional and had a full dance floor all evening.Linda Schofield-Green - Charity Ball, Canford School, Wimborne

The band were absolutely brilliant everyone said how awesome they were, the dance floor was never empty. The guys were really friendly and read the crowd perfectly with the types of songs to play. Would absolutely recommend Alive.Jenny & Patrick Hendron - Wedding, Bignor Park, Pulborough

We are so pleased to have booked Alive for our wedding, please extend our thanks to them again for an absolutely amazing performance on the night, they were brilliant!

Thank you for your help and for contributing to our special day.Sophie Amor- Wedding, Barn at Brynich, Brecon

I'm so glad we booked Alive for our wedding! I have super-high standards and Alive surpassed them all with a broad repertoire of amazing music and vocals, all while looking great and being a lovely bunch of chaps. I've had several people ask who our band was because they want to book Alive too!Cerys Morgan - Wedding, Marleybrook House, Kent

Brilliant band - brilliant DJ’ing - every one loved them and they made my 50th birthday party ROCK!David - Party, Hatfield House, Hatfield

Alive, thank you so so much for being part of our big day! From the ceremony, to the evening you were all amazing - I cried before I even started walking down the aisle!

I wanted to get in touch to say a huge thank you to Damo, Simon, Brett and Dave for being so incredible at our wedding last week. They were fantastic all day and we are so so pleased that we booked them - they sounded amazing! We’ve had so many guests comment on how great they were. Music was one of the things we were most excited about and they really made our day. We had such an incredible day and really can’t imagine it going any better than it did!Holly & Rob - Wedding, The Great Lodge, Essex

We've never been to a wedding before where, from the first beat of the first song until the last beat of the last song, the guests were on their feet dancing and singing their hearts out, but this was absolutely the experience Alive provided. From learning a song that meant a lot to us and executing it perfectly, to involving both the bride and groom in songs throughout the evening, Alive were everything you could possibly want from a wedding band and more. Tailored Entertainment were incredibly easy to deal with and remained flexible throughout the pandemic, especially as we had to change our date twice. The booking process, including requests & preferences, was seamless and meant we were relaxed and excited knowing what a fantastic evening we had in store. We're incredibly grateful the band were able to stick with us for the final date. We highly recommend both Tailored Entertainment and Alive.Ben - Wedding, Kent Life, Maidstone

Just wanted to say awesome job at Saturday's wedding at Upwaltham Barns. We knew you'd be perfect for our crowd based from your videos and repertoire but, even with your last-min dep singer/guitarist, you blew us all away. Flawless set-list, great sound and a big thanks for getting the groom Neil up on drums for some RATM. Very cool of you to do that. Hope to see you again sometime, and if you're ever in Glasgow or Edinburgh, we would love to have a jam with you.Gary - Upwaltham Barns, West Sussex

The band were absolutely fantastic all day and we are so, so pleased that we booked them - we’ve had so many guests comment on how great they were. Music was one of the things we were most excited about and they didn't disappoint - they totally blew us away! The guys also learned our first dance song and did such an incredible job of it. What an amazing band and what a nice bunch of guys too. Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special.Holly & Rob - Wedding, The Great Lodge, Essex

I honestly don’t have enough words to express how good the guys were! From start to finish they were amazing. Their energy was infectious, everyone was up dancing, even my father in law who ‘does not dance’. We absolutely loved them and we’ve had nothing but good words and praise from guests. Thank you so much!Eleanor - Wedding, Villiers Barn Grove Farm, Essex

Alive were absolutely incredible for our wedding. So many guests asked where we had found them and commented on how on-point they were with everything! A great set of songs for all, incorporating those which we wanted, and a stunning version of Toothpaste Kisses for our first dance. Thanks from us both.Steven & Elizabeth - Wedding, Hendall Manor Barns, Uckfield

The band was hands down one of the highlights of the day! All the guests commented on how great they were and the dance floor was full the entire time they were playing. Would 100% recommend Alive to anyone organising an event, really made our day! Just wanted to say a massive thanks to all the members of the band for being so considerate when we over ran with the wedding breakfast, they adapted no problem and were extremely helpful with communicating with our photographer and the venue. It really took the stress out of the situation for us! Thanks again, all the best xxDani & Dan - Wedding, Walton Hall Hotel, Wellesbourne

Alive were absolutely amazing! Thank you so much.Lauren & Aidan - Wedding, Cripps Stone Barn, Gloucestershire

We thought Alive were AMAZING!! They were sooo good and although I had high expectations and was really looking forward to them playing, they completely smashed it out the park and completely made our night. You couldn't get me off the dance floor! They played and sang amazingly and then worked with our guests to tailor the DJ set to what our friends enjoyed as well. We've received so many comments and compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed them too. Thanks so much for helping create a night we will never forget.Rosie & Zachary - Wedding, Millbridge Court, Surrey
