“We booked the band having never seen them based on a recommendation from a friend and were therefore a little apprehensive. However, we need not have worried. The band were excellent and one of the highlights of our wedding. We received numerous compliments from our guests. Not only did they perform a fantastic variety of top tunes, but they were hilarious on stage and entertained us from start to finish. We can't recommend them highly enough.”

Rob, Wedding, Leeds, July 2023

“The Alternatives were brilliant - they were incredibly easy to arrange with and set up was no fuss whatsoever (much appreciated during our wedding). Everyone was super friendly and were very approachable on the day. The music itself and performance was fantastic and they kept a great level of energy for the entire evening. I've received a lot of comments since the wedding saying that they loved the band and how great they were - loved the throwback mid-00s tunes like Blink 182, etc. for getting all the 30 year olds onto the floor haha overall 10/10 and would highly rate them, very pleased on every aspect of the service and performance.”

Marty, Wedding, Crowne Plaza, Newcastle upon Tyne, October 2023

“The Alternatives were excellent. They played something for everyone with energy. I'd highly recommend”

Rachel, Corporate Event, Marriott Newcastle, Gateshead, June 2023

“The Alternatives where simply excellent. We had an outdoor festival with approx 150 people, and their two sets really got the crowd going. They are a great band, can play a really versatile mix depending on what you want. Ours was quite bouncy with a lot of the Killers, Feeder, Stereophonics for example, and they did quite a few requests at the end too. Lead singer has a great voice, powerful too and the band totally gel together. Can't thank them enough.”

Richard, Private Party, Holt Farm, Leeds, June 2023

“Thank you so much The Alternatives - the music was amazing all night and we always had a full dance floor. We had so many comments from the guests who loved the music.”

Josie, Wedding, West Side House, Alnwick, April 2023
