DJ ALIVE's Reviews

5 out of 5

Just a quick message to thank you and the guys for a fantastic evenings entertainment for mine and Sarah's wedding. You really created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the evening and kept everybody up and dancing right to the very end. And it was great that you got to play with Will Martin for a few songs. Neither Sarah or I had a clue what my brother had planned, but I understand that between yourselves, my brother Glenn and James at Parklands, you hadit sorted. It really was quality! Thanks again guys, and should we ever need entertainment again or feel the need to recommend anyone to friends and family, then we would have no hesitation in naming you guys top of out list. Thanks again, and all the best for the future". Paul and Sarah Wallis - Wedding Band

We have now just returned from our honeymoon in Vegas and thought we'd send you a little momento from our wedding day. Both myself & Gemma would like to personally thank you and the wedding band for your performance at our wedding reception. All the guests, family and staff commented on how good you all were. DJ Alive are an amazing live band with everything and more. Hope you enjoyed the hog roast, sweet shop (lol) and drinks and we hope to get along to seeing you at one of your next gigs. Thank you also for backing our friend Michelle (X Factor) for the first dance, it was so special to have her perform our first dance and we couldn't of done it without you. All the best to you all and I will be forwarding your number and website to all who attended as they all wish to see you again so a very high recommendation from us. Mike & Gem - Wedding Band
