Photo of Poems Ago Poems Ago "We were thrilled to have Poems Ago play for our ceremony. It is a very special memory that we'll cherish forever." Based in Gorey, Leinster (23 miles from Wicklow) 19th August 2026 Aisling O'Keeffe - Private Wedding Photo of The BeerMats Irish Folk & Ballads 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." Based in Dublin, Leinster (26 miles from Wicklow) 1st June 2026 Andrew O'Keefe - Private Wedding Photo of Shindig Wedding Band 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!" Based in Dublin, Leinster (26 miles from Wicklow) 7th February 2026 Tim Pitney - Wedding Photo of John Crossan Music John Crossan Music "I couldn't recommend John enough! Great musician. A pleasure to listen to. Selection of songs were perfect (something for everyone). The communication before the event was brilliant too. Will definitely be booking again." Based in Dublin, Leinster (26 miles from Wicklow) 28th November 2025 Denise Costello - Work Party Photo of Ayden Graham – Folk/Rock/Jazz Covers Ayden Graham – Folk/Rock/Jazz Covers "An absolute breath of new life in the music scene. Fantastic musician with a wide range of styles with amazing vocals. Very entertaining. Watch out for this guy,he is well worth a listen. Go see him perform." Based in Dublin, Leinster (26 miles from Wicklow) 7th November 2025 mike O'Loughlin Photo of Meadhbh Hayes - Trad/Folk/Pop Covers Meadhbh Hayes - Trad/Folk/Pop Covers "Simply put, Meadhbh Hayes is a show stopper. She played for our private family of 17 during our stay in Galway. She is bursting with talent, charisma, and energy. Honestly if she lived in the USA I would befriend her in an instant. Her song choices catered to a wide range of tunes and she even sang a new song she wrote. Phenomenal in every way!! Highly recommend for your next event. She will not disappoint!" Based in Dublin, Leinster (26 miles from Wicklow) Jessica Miceli - Private Family Event
