Wedding Band with Brass Section

Officer Giggles

Getting married in Mayo in August 2015 and looking for a band with a good brass section, I tried to book Electric Avenue (9 piece band) this morning but they were already gone, thought a date over 18 months away would have been safe but unfortunately not.

Ive seen the Bentley Boys mentioned a few times elsewhere but I saw them at a showcase a couple of years ago when my sister was getting married and I wasn't gone on them.

Anybody got any other suggestions?

Wondertones are a really good 8 piece based in Galway. Wanted to book them myself but unfortunately they were a bit too expensive for us.

Dolbert

Modern Souls based in Tipp, might be a bit far but they're excellent if you can get them.

We had Harlequin - they were unreal. The saxophone player is out of this world - he's played at opening ceremony of Olympics etc and he was brilliant!!

The Bentley Boys played at my wedding in 2012 and were out of this world good. Lads from the rugby team still talk about them.

The thing with them is that they have a very large membership and you really need to select the individuals that you want. We went to two showcases and saw different people each time playing/singing.

We have the Ratzingers booked, absolutely love them, not sure if they'll travel that far tho!
