Photo of Asgards Traditional Irish Music Asgards Traditional Irish Music "They were absolutely a perfect fit for our event. I would highly recommend them!!!!" Based in Kildare, Leinster 29th October 2026 Tanis Fitzgerald - Private party - Kilkea Castle Photo of Fierce Weddings Fierce Weddings "When scouting for a wedding band for our big day, my little sister suggested that I check these guys out, as she had seen them live a few times across various venues in the South East. She knew the brief and by god did these guys meet (and exceed) it. We wanted some class music and a vibe that everyone would remember, not just another generic wedding set. Fierce mild clearly do NOT do generic 🤣 far from it! Ailise and Andrew were there from 1pm until 1am the following morning, going from truly beautiful acoustic sets for our ceremony (bringing many tears to many eyes) and drinks reception to rocking it up with the main band for our evening celebrations before ending the night with a cracking DJ set. These guys literally did not stop all day! I got to really enjoy my “father-daughter” dance as Andrew, Ailise and the band learned “sweet child of mine” by Guns and Roses especially for the occasion. To say my dad was surprised (and delighted) would be putting it mild. What made it even more special was having several friends and family members come up to ask who the band were and how they had never had such a good time dancing at a wedding (and considering it was blistering hot that day in the marquee, I will take that as a massive compliment). If you are looking for a band with some real soul, real edge, then look no further! Would recommend them 100%! Can we do it all again? 🥹" Based in Waterford, Munster 19th October 2026 Kayleigh Walsh Photo of PennySweet PennySweet "Christine sang a requested song for my wedding ceremony . I had asked her after seeing her contribute samples on social media. It was heartfelt and added personal touches that reflected our story. At short notice she also contributed to our day 2 event in a local oub and added great value to our special occassion. We wanted something to add a variety to a strong trad flavour we had from a strong musical family. Highly recommend Christine for an easy going , personap touch especially if your someone that likes to request sprcific song choices in a acoustic style with female vocals.

The band were super accommodating, really well organized, very communicative. They did a great job of playing background jazz at a birthday and of course all the nostalgic gaming hits. Both young(5-15) and old(40 yr olds) loved it" Based in Dublin, Leinster 22nd September 2026 Jonny - Birthday Photo of Franck le Chanteur Franck le Chanteur "Franck did an excellent job!! We loved his style and song choice. He did a few French songs followed an english selection as requested…everybody really enjoyed themselves 😁👍 Would definitely recommend!" Based in Naas, Leinster 22nd September 2026 Yvonne Genocchi - Wedding's drink reception Photo of Saxophone and piano duo Saxophone and piano duo "We had the saxophone and piano duo playing for both our ceremony and drinks reception, and they were honestly one of our favourite parts of the day. The music during the ceremony was absolutely beautiful and made everything feel so special without being over the top. Then for the drinks reception they completely changed the atmosphere — relaxed, fun and just perfect while everyone was chatting and having a drink. So many of our guests mentioned how much they loved the music, which says it all really! They were also so easy to deal with in the lead-up to the wedding and everything on the day felt completely seamless. We’re so glad we booked them and would 100% recommend them to anyone getting married in Ireland. Aoife & Mark" Based in Castlebar, Connaught 19th September 2026 Aoife & Mark - Ceremony,Drinks reception

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between €150 and €1,200+, with an average of €400. The price depends on the type of musician, performance duration and whether the booking covers the ceremony alone or includes the drinks reception. Popular options include string quartets, harpists, solo vocalists, pianists and acoustic duos, and ensemble acts cost more than solo performers.

The most popular choices for wedding ceremonies include string quartets, harpists, pianists, classical guitarists, flute players and vocalists. The right choice depends on the venue and the atmosphere the couple wants to create. The wedding ceremony musicians for hire in Ireland include a wide range of instrumentalists and ensembles to suit different ceremony styles.

Most wedding ceremony musicians perform for 30 minutes to one hour, covering the key moments such as the guest arrival, the processional, any signing of the register or documents, and the recessional. Some musicians also offer extended packages that include pre-ceremony background music or music during a drinks reception afterwards.

Most wedding ceremony musicians are happy to learn or arrange specific songs for key moments such as walking down the aisle. Gig Heaven recommends contacting musicians well in advance with any special requests, as some songs may need time to arrange for a particular instrument or ensemble.

Many wedding ceremony musicians are happy to perform outdoors, though this should be confirmed with the musician in advance. Outdoor performances may be affected by wind, rain or temperature, which can impact acoustic instruments. Providing a covered or sheltered area for the musicians and their equipment is strongly recommended.

Some wedding ceremony musicians offer packages covering both the ceremony and the drinks reception or the wedding meal. Others specialise in ceremony music only. It is a good idea to check each musician's profile for their available packages, or contact them to discuss a tailored arrangement.
