“Hi Amy, I would just like to say that the magic tones were amazing, a perfect wedding band, everyone got up to dance even the ones that normally don’t. They were a perfect end to a perfect day.”
“Decade were absolutely fantastic! They kept the dance floor alive all night long and created a brilliant party atmosphere. The guys are so talented and some guests said they were the best wedding band they’d ever heard! They played all our favourites and requests, performed with so much fun, energy and excitement, kept our guests dancing for hours and gave us the best wedding reception. They were also great value for money and we’d would highly recommend them – all in all we are very satisfied! Thank you Decade!”
Nina & Michael - Wedding , Lainston House, Winchester (Decade)
“Great feedback for the Band, I wasn’t here but hear nothing but good things!”
Event Manager - The Pig in Southampton, New Years Eve Party (4 To The Floor)
“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!!”
“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 (Alive)
“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 floorless 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.”
