Comments: I was so happy with all the service I got from Alive Network. They made me feel at ease from the first phone call and I felt I new that I was going to get a good service and I got better service than I ever expected. Fitz Elliot was amazing and I would tell anyone to have them at there wedding. They were outstanding, all the guests said how lovely it was to have them there and they also looked amazing which I think was lovely to have 2 beautiful women playing such beautiful romantic music, it made all my guests cry.

Comments: The word professionalism is used often these days and perhaps loses its strength, but I would just like to say that both the Alive Network and the ladies of the Fitz_Elliot Duo were indeed fantastic, quickly removing any concerns I may have had about booking over the internet.
Our agent Gemma kept us informed of everything either by telephone or email,
and the Fitz-Elliot Duo contacted us to discuss our music requirements and
offered great advice and some amusing alternatives.
Thanks very much to the three of you.

Comments: Alive network are most professional. They reply promptly to any queries on phone or by email. They try to suggest appropriate artists within the specified budget. We would certailny deal with them again. Fitz-Elliott duo were absolutely wonderful. They are two charming girls who provided a wonderful mixture of music on the harp and flute. They played the type of music we wanted , remained in the background yet gave tremendous enjoyment to all our guests. We would love to have them for another event.

The music was the perfect backdrop for both the outdoor drinks reception as well as the wedding breakfast. Please pass on my thanks to both the artistes concerned.
Thank you also to your company who dealt with this booking in a professional, friendly and efficient manner.
Kind regards

Comments: Alive Network were a pleasure to work with and to help with getting the correct performance for our day. The co-ordinators were quick in answering e-mails and sending our sample CDs and giving us their own opinion on who's their best artists.
The Fitz-Elliot Duo were amazing, they were there on time, they communicated with us well before the wedding and the music they played made our day all the more magical.
Thank you.

Comments: Gemma was terrific when I made my initial enquiry for the Fitz-Elliott duo and she was just as good when I made the booking. The Fitz-Elliott duo as I have said were amazing and I wish I hadn't been so busy with everything going on so that I could have listened more intently to their beautiful playing.
