Once you’ve found the perfect London band, or narrowed down your list to a handful of favourites, it’s time to make an enquiry. You can either do this through the Alive Network website, or if you’d rather speak to someone, you can call Alive Network on 01782 740 839 and you will be assigned an entertainment coordinator who will guide you through the enquiry process.

At this point, you are under no obligation to book any of the bands you’ve enquired about, but you will receive via email, an accurate quote that’s been agreed by the band and you will be offered first refusal on any band you’ve enquired about should another enquiry come in for the same date after you have submitted yours.

Confirming Your London Band Booking

So… you’ve received the official quote from your entertainment coordinator and have decided which band it is that you’d like to book. What Next? Well, all you need to do to secure your booking is pay your deposit (usually around 20% of the total balance) and sign and return your booking contract. Both you and your artist will need to return a signed copy of the legally binding contract and the bands diary will be updated to include your booking. From this point onwards, you will have 24 hour emergency cover from Alive Network should you need it (most don’t!) and your dedicated entertainment coordinator will be on hand should any questions, concerns or requests come up in the run up to your event.
