    Other things I have been told to look out for:

    Make sure you are paying for a 3 hour set - some bands will charge what seems like a reasonable rate, but this only covers 2 hours. This can leave you with an hour gap between the band and the DJ, which can dampen the evening.

    Check if the band will set up before the whole reception - if they do, it will mean less delay between the meal & the music. The venue may not always be able to cater for this though (the band area may be where the head table is).
    most bands will do a two hour set of good music. thyt will play a three hour but the music in the lst hour wont be as good.

    Hello all,

    We just got married in July and I can definitely recommend the Panoramics... they were great guys to deal with, played a great set and had the guests up dancing all night.

    Check them out here and let me know if you want any specific info:

    I'd really recommend The Glitter Bugs, you won't regret it! They look like glam rockers but their repetoire is thankfully a lot more broad. They're guaranteed to have everyone up dancing all night. Very friendly guys, don't let the costumes put you off, we nearly went with something a lot more traditional and we're so glad we didn't! People are still raving about them to us and it was two years ago!

    Talk to Johhny Angel (seriously) about dates, he's very nice.

    We had Beat Club for our wedding in June and our opinion and the opinion of everyone who attended is that it is simply not possible to praise them highly enough. If you look at the testimonials page on their website, it's all true. Our testimonial is one of the ones up there. We heard a few others, but in retrospect, we were wasting our time. These guys ROCK!!!

    The church music was provided by the Dublin String Quartet and the singer was Margaret Brennan - again both very very highly recommended.

    (No connection to any of these people, just a very happy customer)

    Was at a wedding in Tullamore a few weeks ago and these guys were fantastic. I am looking for a wedding band at the moment and was ready to book them straight away but they'll be taking their holiday at end of Aug next year so can't play at my wedding (gutted).

    They were jumping down off the stage and playing in and around the guests. Great craic and were willing and able to play along when any of the guests wanted to sing. They just picked up the tune. It was such good fun. My cousin gave me the number as I couldn't find them online but I think they are based in laois.

    They are 1800 for a 3 hour set (I think?) but they seemed to play longer and really enjoyed themselves. I've been at 7 weddings this year and these guys were the one's that stood out for me... so gutted they can't do my wedding :o(

    PM me for more details.

    Does anyone know anything about after dark? My sis wants them for her wedding but i've heard they are taking double bookings for dates and changing some of the members for the second gig so you might not actually be getting the same people you've booked?

    Hey

    Went to a wedding at the weekend and the band were AMAZING!!!!!!
    They are called 'Bloomfield Avenue' and they are performers from the west end musical 'Jersey Boys' also a girl whos a lead singer in 'Priscilla' musical.

    They did everything and anything and their performance was brilliant (must be use to being in the west-end)

    I asked the Bride how much they were and she said they weren't that expensive, very reasonable and were lovely to deal with.

    Check them out www.bloomfieldavenueband.co.uk

    I just need to have a party or get married again because I want them.

    Can anyone recommend a trad band that also sing, something a bit different rather than the typical abba and disco covers. A band that will play stuff like the pogues, the band, the jam etc.

    Has anyone had or heard 'Little Creatures' at a wedding?

    I like them but don't know if they would be suitable for a wedding.

    I used to work in a bar where Atomic Chicken played on a regular basis. They are excellent and always a huge hit with the crowd. They are mainly a rock band but i think will play most things.
    Always hard to get though, would want to be booking them a good while in advance.

    Carnaby Street - they're a fantastic band for weddings - they're all seasoned musicians, the vocalist is amazing and they will cater for whatever kind of music you want really......they're based in Dublin but they do gigs all over the country!

    PM me for the phone number of the guy to call - i dont want to post it in case it's deemed advertising or whatever. I've seen them at 2 weddings in the past 7 months - and I have since gone to listen to them play non-wedding gigs too!

    :-)

    Is late 20's not the average age for a wedding crowd? I wouldn't have thought that would be a younger crowd than usual.
