The Best Irish Bands for Weddings

We represent the best Irish bands for weddings and to throw a good Irish wedding or Irish themed event, the choice of music is crucial so we are here to help you choose the perfect act.

We really do offer the best Irish bands for weddings and have acts in all parts of the UK as well as throughout Ireland.

Irish music means the classics – classic folk tunes and of course Ceilidh music of the hills. Irish music is like the softness of the heather and warmth of the homes withstanding the cold winds yet strong and loud like waves breaking against the jagged rocks. The Irish are known for their love for life and can light the darkest room with their immense love and warmth and no Irish party is complete without songs like A Life on Open Waters, Whiskey in the Jar or Galway Girl as even the kids will know this one thanks to Ed Sheeran!

We have Irish bands for weddings that can play traditional Ceilidh music as well as modern day numbers and who can lift the mood of any party and let your people dance away to the tunes of the accordion and mandolin strings.

The Barley Mows – Belfast Wedding Band

One of our most popular Irish bands for weddings are The Barley Mows, based in Belfast. They offer trad musicians for the ceremony and drinks reception and then the full band for the evening complete with a DJ.

“The Barley Mows spent our whole wedding day with us and the music was outstanding and truly set the scene for a fabulous day. They played beautiful acoustic church music, kept the guests entertained whilst we had our pictures taken and kept us up dancing until all hours! All the guests commented on how great the music was. We are so grateful as we know it was such a long day for you with it being in Killarney, if we ever have an anniversary party we will be booking you again!” Catherine and Philip Haigh, Killarney

Meet our Wedding Violinists

Our violinists are all very experienced at performing for weddings and events and can liaise directly with you to discuss the music you would like to have in your wedding ceremony. Our wedding violinists will generally play acoustically during your wedding ceremony and play along to a backing track if required.

Meet our Gypsy Swing Bands

Gypsy Jazz or Swing represents a sub-genre led by Django Reinhardt, the foremost of Romani guitarists that contributed to the distinctive sound. Thanks to the symbolic La Pompe, traditional percussion is replaced by guitar strums and thus the alternative sound which is perfect for a wedding reception due to its energetic nature.

Harpists for Weddings

The soothing sound of the harp always lends a magical feeling to any party, and whether it is a wedding or a corporate function a harp can simply change the feel of the venue by its mere presence. Despite being a delicate instrument, the harp brings a sense of sophistication to the place the event is being held.

String Quartets for Weddings

We offer string quartets for weddings in every corner of the UK and our string quartets will set the tone of the occasion. A string quartet sets an elegant and classic tone for any event particularly a wedding or formal event which requires the music to be subtle and gentle without offsetting the occasion.
