The Dublin Traditional Trio - Traditional Irish Trio & Duo Feedback

The Dublin Trad Trio were absolutely fantastic vendors for our wedding! This trio brought an elevated musical element for our ceremony and drinks reception. Alison was very responsive, organized, and came with several options for trad Irish and classical songs. We effectively collaborated & aligned on our timeline & ceremony details, which really helped bring our vision to life! We highly recommend The Dublin Trad Trio for any couple looking for a talented and professional musical group!!

Breada & Christian, Luttrellstown Castle, Wedding (September 2022)

Just a quick note to say thank you so very much for playing our wedding Sept 16th. The music in the Cathedral was absolutely magical and I loved the version of Inisheer you played for me walking down the aisle, I recognized it immediately and it was so beautiful. The gorgeous music really made the ceremony! Also, my American family members were raving about the music at the pre-drinks reception. So thank you so very much!

Kate & Garry, Ballaghdereen Cathedral & Markree Castle, Wedding (Sept 2022)

Alison, thank you and the Dublin Trad Trio for your fantastic performance at our recent wedding reception. It set the tone for such a memorable day. Your wonderful selection of traditional Irish music with the backing uilleann pipes bowled over the guests, particularly all the Canadians. It truly made it a real Irish wedding for them.

C T, The Westin Hotel, Canadian-Irish Wedding (September 2022)

A huge “Thank You” for playing our wedding reception in Boyne Hill House. We had the most magical day and your music during the day brought the perfect atmosphere. We really couldn’t have asked for better!

Shauna & Martin, Boyne Hill House Hotel, Wedding (April 2022)

The Dublin Trad Trio were the perfect touch to our Indian – Irish wedding. They performed so beautifully during the ceremony and created a wonderful, lively atmosphere for the drinks reception. Guests from Ireland and overseas were commenting on just how fantastic the music was. We cannot recommend The Dublin Trad Trio enough!

Radhe and Anthony, Kilkea Castle, Wedding (April 2022)

They we're everything we hoped for and more! They learned two specific pieces for our wedding ceremony and played them beautifully! They then kept the party going with hours of lively tunes. They were very easy to coordinate with and made our wedding day so very special! We feel very lucky to have had them at our event and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again in the future. Amazingly talented and wonderful people, all three of them!

Anita & Scott, Temple Bar, Dublin, Wedding (June 2022)

We’ve heard many an excellent pianist or harpist play in the background of champagne receptions but after seeing the trio play at a wedding, we knew we had to have them play at ours. They added a touch of real class to our wedding as the guests arrived. It was especially nice for our guests from overseas to hear such beautiful Irish ballads and traditional music. Allison and the guys are so friendly, accommodating and professional. Our wedding was fantastic and there was no doubt about it, they really set the tone. Everyone was very impressed. We would certainly recommend them for anyone’s wedding. Thank you so much!

The group were great and are very professional at what they do. Having worked in the wedding industry for many years, I have always recommended these guys & they have delivered every time. As well as having a natural flair, they keep all couples and their guests very happy.

Noeleen Doyle, Wedding Planner, Wright’s Anglers Rest, Chapelizod, Wedding (May, 2018)

We hired them to play at our pre wedding dinner for our Indian-Irish wedding at Medley on 30th March 2018. We met the main performer a few weeks before booking and we wanted our guests from abroad to get a taste of traditional Irish Music. Herself and the band knew exactly what we wanted and delivered the perfect performance for our guests. We would highly recommend them, professional, easy to deal with and know how to please a crowd.

Darrell and Naleeni, , Wedding (April 2018)

We wanted traditional Irish music at our intimate wedding ceremony and got this and more when they played for us. The group played beautifully and made our day so special and memorable. I would highly recommend them for a wedding.
