Wedding Bands

Damson2014

Hi

Getting married in the Carlow area in 2014 and trying to sort out a band.
We have tried a few (The Best Men, The Good Guys, Pink Champagne, Perfect Day, Blush) but all are booked up for our date.

Just wondering can anyone recommend any other good bands?

Has anyone seen Entourage or Goodfellas performing at a wedding? Both are available but Goodfellas seem expensive.

When roughly is the date and what kind of band would you like, as in musical style? Also have you got a rough budget?

I've booked midnight sounds for my wedding, they are great to deal with and would recommend them, a friend of mine booked a few good men and they are meant to be good too

Played at a friends wedding i was at and a very forgettable band i thought.
Have seen better 3 piece pub bands...

Date is August 2014, we just want a band that plays your normal wedding set list- rock/pop & a few Waltzes for the oldies.
Budget is around the 2k mark, hoping this would include DJ

Hi tink2

Have you heard Midnight Sound play at a wedding?

Nope at a showcase, we saw a number of bands and liked their manner and their style of music the best. I'm sure you could go along to a wedding if you asked them to set it up. I saw on twitter they played at Dunboyne a couple of weeks ago.

Do you know what price your friend paid for a few good men?

Planning on calling them to see if they`re free for my wedding day.

Hi.

I play with a band called No Way Home. We would love if you would have a listen and consider us for your special day.

We play a very diverse set of music from the Classics to Current Pop / Rock & Chart songs. You can get more info from our facebook page here or our YouTube here

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and I can send you on some further information.

Cheers,

We have Jack2Jack as part of our wedding package....they are very good. Perfect Day and Bentley Boys are also fantastic. Good luck

I got married last June and booked the Party Kings for my (our??) wedding. We'd been to a wedding the year before and heard them play and loved them. They had everyone up dancing all night long and were a pleasure to deal with too.
We paid €1900 for the band and DJ.

We booked the Bentley Boys - who were similar to what you have looked at, got married 6 months ago and people still talking about them!

I'll second that. We had them at our wedding two weeks ago and the dance floor never cleared the whole night. Everyone who was there is still raving about them to my mammy

I have Men In Black booked for my wedding next year..heard great things about them!

Blesso boy

Im also in the same boat. Most bands are above €2000 but my budget is more around the €1500 mark. I better hurry up about it too. tick tock..

Duvetdays

I had Eden for my wedding in '09 also played at another wedding I was at found them fantastic floor was filled for the night for both weddings and they cost €2000 inc doing DJ afterwards.

We just booked Hush for ours, they're from Tullamore but travel all over. Went to see them in Westport last night and they were fantastic, the whole place was buzzing. Haven't seen them at a wedding but I don't forsee any problems. And a great price it seems too, €1300 inc dj
