Acoustic acts are the usual answer when a venue has a noise limiter or the ceremony is outdoors, since most can play with very little amplification or none at all. Ask how the band handles the quieter parts of the day: many will cover a drinks reception and dinner as a duo, then bring the full line-up out for the evening.
Of the 729 suppliers listed here, 25 are based in Ireland. The other 704 are willing to travel there.

Acoustic bands in Ireland play unplugged or lightly amplified, which suits ceremonies, drinks receptions and rooms with a sound limit. Most work from popular songs rearranged for acoustic instruments, and many offer a smaller line-up for the daytime and a fuller one after dinner.
Outdoor ceremonies, marquees and rooms with a strict noise limit are the obvious cases, because an acoustic set carries without a PA fighting the limiter. They also suit long events where the music has to sit under conversation for part of the day and lead it later. Ask whether the band brings its own small PA, since even acoustic acts usually want vocal reinforcement in a larger room.
Rates for a duo in Ireland start at €150 and rise to €1,650+ for a five-piece with full instrumentation, with most bookings around €490. Line-up size is the main variable, followed by how many hours of playing you need and how far the band travels.
The average price is €490 (EUR), with most priced from €150 to €1,650+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Shindig Wedding Band
"Simply the best. As I said many times, we were not looking for a wedding band in Ireland, we wanted an Irish Band that does weddings. Well we found them. In March of 2024 my wife and I were in Ireland to preview my daughter's wedding venue in Co. Monaghan at Castle Leslie. We did not have a band yet and happened into Temple Bar and fortunately for us Sparky was playing with an awesome fiddle player and we were hooked. Quick conversation and some planning with Gav and they were booked. They were incredibly accommodating and helped coordinate all of the music for the day including ceremony, Cocktail 2 Hours(!), Shindig for the evening and even a DJ inserted in the middle. They also worked with me and my band to do some of the first dances etc. for my daughter and our families. As a musician myself, I know good when I see it and these guys were awesome! I can't wait to play with them again!"
