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!"
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"

The BeerMats Irish Folk & Ballads
