Asgards Traditional Irish Music
"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding and adding such a wonderful touch to the day. Walking down the aisle to Tabhair dom do lámh was a moment we'll never forget, and the tunes you played throughout the cocktail reception kept the atmosphere so lively and joyous. Your music made Emma's whole Irish side of the family very happy and gave many of our American guests their first intro to traditional Irish music - not to mention that you all sounded great too! We can't thank you enough for adding such a special touch to our Wedding Day!
With so much gratitude,"
Poems Ago
"We were thrilled to have Poems Ago play for our ceremony. It is a very special memory that we'll cherish forever."
The BeerMats Irish Folk & Ballads
"Hiring the BeerMats was probably the best decision we made in planning our wedding. Our guests were thoroughly entertained, the music was perfect, and the lads were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would give them an 11/10 rating if I could."
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!"
