Wedding Music

I provide live music for every stage of your wedding day, from the ceremony to the drinks reception, the main afters celebrations, and even Day 2 festivities. Whether you're looking for something intimate and personal, or high-energy and lively, I will tailor my set list to match your unique style and preferences, offering a range of genres including Irish, Country, Modern Hits, Classic Favorites, and Rock.

Having spent my early years performing on the Country & Irish dancing scene, I’ve had the privilege of supporting renowned artists such as Nathan Carter, Lisa McHugh, and many of the biggest stars in the country music scene. This experience has equipped me to seamlessly cater to both older and younger audiences, ensuring that your guests, no matter their age, will enjoy a memorable musical experience.

To ensure the perfect atmosphere for your big day, I offer a variety of performance options: solo, 3-piece, and 4-piece band setups. For the 4-piece setup, couples have the option of selecting the 4th instrument based on their personal preferences, with options including Accordion, Fiddle, Keyboards, and a 2nd Guitar. If you have a particular instrument in mind that isn’t listed, I can do my best to source it to suit your needs, ensuring the music is exactly what you envision.

Additionally, my wedding policy prioritizes an early setup for the afters music. I aim to have all equipment in place before your guests enjoy their meals, ensuring they’re not left waiting for the entertainment and are not disturbed by the musicians moving gear. This can also allow us to soundcheck early, so there are no delays in starting the music and your celebration can go off without a hitch.

For those looking to extend the entertainment, I also offer a DJ service to keep the party going after the live music. While I am not a full-time DJ, I can play a great set to keep your guests dancing all night long. Alternatively, I can assist you in booking a professional DJ, as I have trusted contacts in the industry who specialize in this role.

FAQ’s:

1. How long do you play for?: We play a 2 hour set, and if there is a break for finger food, we will take a break to let your guests eat. We will then make up the time on the other end, so essentially we would be 2.5 hours including a break for finger food.

2. First dance, do you play it live?: Yes, we are very happy to play your first dance live. Some couples insist on having a particular version played from Spotify rather than live, and we are able and happy to facilitate that also.

3. Does your mother still play accordion with you?: By request yes, but typically no. The bulk of our work is done as a 3 piece band, and for weddings we hire a 4th member on Fiddle, Keys, 2nd guitar, or if desired, accordion!

4. Can you play to young and old crowds? Yes absolutely. I have 2 blueprint set lists; 1-A city wedding setlist (Modern/Classic hits etc.) and 2- A country set list. (Mainy country & Irish). From there, you are welcome to choose either set list, and also tweak it in case you want a mix of both. I will send you our complete list of songs and we can tailor the set list as desired!
