5/5 from 207 reviews
Photo of pipe major Nick MacVicar pipe major Nick MacVicar "Nick, you're a scholar and a gentleman. Everyone that met you had nothing but good things to say, and you giving us extra time for the city center was really really appreciated. (As was the plaid; legend) We genuinely hope we meet again, your vibe was spectacular. Talk to you soon man. Thanks again" Based in Florence, Tuscany 29th September 2026 Ciaran & Guilaine - Wedding in Tuscany Photo of The Waistcoats The Waistcoats "When searching for a band for our wedding in Italy we came across The Waistcoats and after watching many videos and reading through all the reviews we made contact. The first email from Paul immediately put us at ease and we decided to book them. Throughout the lead up to the wedding, we had a few different requests (speakers for ceremony and microphones for speeches) all which were agreed to with no problem at all! On the day they arrived with plenty of time and had a calm presence and were easy to deal with. They are very experienced and knew what to do without having to be told, which kept us super relaxed. For both parts of the day The Waistcoats played aperitifs and after dinner. They understood what to play and created a fantastic atmosphere. All our guests did not stop dancing even during the aperitifs there was dancing. We also pushed forward the first dance and this was no problem. We had lots of ‘experienced’ wedding guests who exclaimed: “best wedding band ever”! And we also truly believe that too! We can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make our day so very special! Thank you! Ciaran and Charlie" Based in Rome, Latium Ciaran and Charlie - Private Wedding Photo of Asgards Traditional Irish Music Asgards Traditional Irish Music "We had the Asgards play at the day 2 of our wedding in September to a mixed audience of British and Irish guests and they were absolutely phenomenal! We really wanted our guests to experience some traditional Irish music as part of our wedding celebration and Asgards were the perfect band for that!" Based in Kildare, Leinster, Ireland 23rd October 2026 Cathyrn & Donal - Wedding Day 2, Tyrrellstown House, Dublin Photo of Bob Ferguson Songwriter Bob Ferguson Songwriter "We all had an amazing night, all the sailors loved your performance and it really made a massive difference to the night, it really brightened up the spirits of everyone and made it a night to remember, extremely worth it and a very fair price. Keep in touch bob." Based in Lanark, Scotland, United Kingdom 21st October 2026 Daniel Kokocinski - HMS Glasgow Pickle Night Photo of Harp - Amelia Tokarska Harp - Amelia Tokarska "Amelia played the harp during our corporate reception, adding an elegant touch to the evening. Her music created a welcoming atmosphere as guests arrived and enjoyed their drinks. We particularly appreciated how the live performance complemented the event while allowing conversation to flow comfortably. We would happily recommend Amelia for corporate events and private celebrations." Based in Prague, Praha, Czech Republic 11th October 2026 Katharina Gruber - Corporate reception Photo of Ingrid Magee Funeral Singer London Ingrid Magee Funeral Singer London "Ingrid, a quick note on behalf of the family. Thank you for the amazing vocals last Wednesday. When Mum and I were discussing her wishes; it was everything we hoped. I sobbed the whole way through Ave Maria. Your performance was truly beautiful. On a personal note, thank you for navigating some tricky times. Knowing you were taking care gave me confidence to relax. Wishing you and yours a lovely Christmas x" Based in Bexley, England, United Kingdom 2nd October 2026 Denise P - Funeral
