“We were so happy with our choice of Matt Thomas. We were nervous that guests may not dance and many did listen in to the 1st few songs but you could see them tapping their feet or hands and then they put down their drinks and danced the night away. Matt Thomas and his band not only looked the part and so professional, they sounded superb and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone I knew ...”

“Dear Paul, Not long been back from honeymoon so only just got round to replying to your email. I just wanted to say that Matt Thomas was fantastic. He was incredibly professional, arrived on time and was very well presented. He set up quickly and without any fuss and was soon into entertaining everybody. Andy and I both agreed that Matt was one of the highlights of the day as he made the eveni...”

“Hi Paul, just a note for you to post on Matt's profile: Matt put us at ease from the first time we had contact and was willing to alter things to meet our needs. He and the band landed in plenty of time and set up without any fuss or disruption to the wedding going on around them. As we had a special request for our first dance Matt sorted it with the band so we knew exactly how the backing s...”

“Hi Nick Just to thank you for the excellent service received from you when we booked Matt Thomas for our Wedding at Caverswall Castle on 1st February. He was a real professional - turned up on time despite heavy snow and did a great job. It was possibly a difficult gig for him since the area he played in was made up of three separate but adjoining rooms - but he made it seem effortless. H...”

“It was easy and convenient to book Matt Thomas with Alive Network, Gemma was very helpful and patient with queries. Matt Thomas was outstanding in his performance, all our guests commented on how brilliant he was. Matt is very amiable and was considerate to our needs.

“We had a fabulous day – Matt Thomas and the band were fantastic and exactly what we wanted for our big day. Alive Network made the booking process easy and were very helpful in sending out demos to help us decide on the band we wanted. I would definitely recommend their service to others.

“Dear Clare, Thanks so much for your best wishes. Fantastic day despite the weather. Matt was simply brilliant. His voice is excellent and he really knew when to be central to the action and when to be a little further in the background. Several of our guests couldn't believe he was actually singing as he has a record-quality voice. Please add our endorsement to the ones already on his web p...”
