Carouse, where do we even begin! Hugh and the lads were absolutely smashing throughout our whole planning preparation. A last minute decision to have them play our reception went down a treat with all our guests, an excellent balance of trad music but at a nice volume so people could chat. Their variety of music had the floor filled all night. We would highly highly recommend these guys and look forward to going to some of their gigs in the future. They really above and beyond our expectations and really made our day so special.

Hugh and the guys were an absolute pleasure to deal with and were brilliant on the night. So much so that one of the guests booked them for their own wedding on the back of their performance. For both wedding set and DJ the guys were excellent and helped create some great memories of the night, and showed real interest in making sure that we were happy with the set. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Hugh and the lads were fantastic. They were very easy to deal with in the planning stages, they were excellent at accommodating our song choices and we couldn't be happier with how everything went. The lads provided music for the whole day, the ceremony, reception, band, and DJ, and were a massive hit with us and our guests at every stage. We had countless people sending us messages afterwards singing their praises, and we would have no hesitation to recommend Carouse to anyone looking to make their big day that little bit more special as these guys are not just the same old same old. Thanks again guys, you were a massive part of our big day and we'll always be grateful for that. Hopefully get to see you play again before too long, I know a few of our guests are keeping you in mind.

Hugh and the lads were a major hit at our wedding. People are still talking about them. The dance floor was absolutely jammed the entire night. They have a great diversity of songs and ability to keep the crowd going.
It's so hard to pick a wedding band but trust me, if you are lucky enough to get Carouse- go for it because you will not regret it.
Thanks again lads for a memorable night.

We choose Carouse as we had seen, heard and loved how they performed at two previous weddings. Once booked we left everything in their hands, they are great at reading the crowd and playing a set to suit the audience. Very organized and good communication. They performed at our drinks reception, dinner reception and also did DJ. Our guests had a great time and had a lot of positive feedback. Can't recommend them enough.

Thanks a million Peter and Collette and we wish you guys all the very best for the future! Ye were a lovely bunch to play for! Carouse

Carouse provided an outstanding performance at my daughters wedding reception. They were able to sense the mood of the crowd and move from one music style to another from Ed Sheeran to the Siege of Innis, which was very impressive indeed. The dance floor was crowded all night and it was great.

At one stage, as well as the priest, you had my 88 year old mother in law and 90 year old Auntie, dancing along with all the youngsters - it was an amazing sight to witness !.

I couldn't have booked a better band for this very special occasion and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Carouse to any friends or family in the future.
Response from Carouse
Hi Derek,
That was indeed an excellent night in Gort! Thanks a million for the kind words and we’ll hope to see the whole crew again some time????

We had carouse for our wedding in July in clifden- they really were fantastic. They tailored the music to suit the crowd who never got off the dance floor. They played out first song as we requested even though it's wasn't a song on the song list . All the locals in clifden also sat out on the street to listen to the music. An elderly couple across from the hotel (Alcock and brown) dances the whole night on the balcony listening king to the music. Amazing -would really recommend them xx Josephine and Mick
Response from Carouse
Ah Thanks a million Josephine and Mick for the kind words! That was indeed a great night in Clifden and ye were a lovely crew to play for. We did meet quiet a few out on the street who said they’d been listening in and loved it???? Hopefully we’ll see ye again some time!

I just can't express how amazing Carouse were at our wedding
! They are ultimate professionals with an awesome sound and had the dancefloor full all night. Half of our guests were from Australia and New Zealand and they absolutely loved the mix of Irish music and modern songs we requested as did the Irish crew. These guys are not your typical wedding band - they are a million times better! We also had Hugh and Phil play and sing at our ceremony and it was absolutely magical. Thank you guys, you are the best. Would highly, highly recommend!!
Response from Carouse
Hi Anne-Marie- yours was a great wedding and the guests and yourselves were a pleasure to play for! The first dance was a cracker!
We wish you all the best for the future!

I cannot recommend Carouse highly enough. I was cautious when I booked as it had been difficult to find reviews on-line but their style was exactly what we wanted & Hugh was so helpful & professional from day one. I cannot tell you how much this band made our day, the atmosphere was fantastic, the floor never emptied & so many people young & old talked about our band for a long time after!
