Davey Music

Davey were brilliant from initial discussions to final performances. Patrick was very approachable and provided great ideas for our mass service. All of our guests provided positive feedback from the drinks reception as well. We would happily recommend Davey Music to other couples.

There is no way I can write a review that does justice to the service provided by Patrick & Davey Music trio. Whatever I say here will fall short, however I will try.
Every interaction with Patrick was professional , punctual succinct and fun. He is one of those rare talents who you can tell has the music in him, it's not just a job.
We made some specific requests , including having a close friend of ours sing with Davey music trio during the service, again nothing was a problem. There was hardly a dry eye in the church.
The drinks recption was filled with the sounds of a celebration. I had friends and family from all over the world in attendance , all of whom who were so delighted to hear the varied music of Ireland performed by such talented musicians. For me and Gráinne, my friends , family and guest it made our day. If you're looking for the sounds of this island performed by people who genuinely love the craft , give Patrick at Davey music trio a call.

Davey Music was a wonderful part of our day, with Patrick being so helpful and responsive to all our queries in the run up to the day. We had a lot of guests flying in from abroad and it was important to us to give them a real authentic flavour of traditional Irish music - Davey Music played in the beautiful gardens of Ballyscullion during our drinks reception and the guests really enjoyed hearing the music! It was so lovely!
Thank you so much to Patrick and the team for being part of our day!

We really enjoyed working with Davey Music and having them play during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception! The initial meeting with Patrick was very laid back and fun, and he played tunes live on the call to help me select which ones I wanted for each part of the ceremony. I appreciated his flexibility and suggestions for which songs worked best in different parts of the ceremony. He and his musicians were very versatile and could play a wide range which was fun to incorporate both trad and other popular songs into our ceremony. The music was so beautiful during our ceremony and the tunes during the drinks reception kept the mood lively for the full two hours. Would definitely recommend Davey Music to couples for their wedding!

What can I say other than patrick is absolute pleasure to deal with from the very start to the finish, I have never met such a wonderful person. The music was out of this world and everything that we both wanted and it set the tone for the day can’t thank them enough. If you are looking for quality music for your wedding or reception, no need to look any further Davey music has it all..

From the 1st contact with Davey Music everything was top class. Patrick was so responsive to any queries and such a friendly person so we knew everything was in hand.

For our wedding in Moyvalley Hotel we have Davey Music play straight after the meal in the bar in Balyna House. It got everyone moving after the meal so there was no lull. Everyone commented how great Davey Music were and that it was a great idea to go straight into some lively music after the meal. In the blur of the wedding day I have a great memory of being spun around the floor by a friend to the brilliant music. The English contingent at the wedding really loved the music too.

Also before our 5 year old daughter went up to bed with the babysitter they even played one of her favourite songs Galway Girl for her. Just such a lovely touch.

Thanks for everything and would highly recommend Davey Music they are top class.

Patrick and Clare preformed at our wedding ceremony in March 2023! We were blown away by their talent! Patrick was so prompt in responding to any queries/worries/advice I required in the run up to the wedding and helped me choose appropriate music from a wide selection! I had some requests of certain songs I wanted and this was no issue! We had requested vocals also and Clare Galway provided us with the most beautiful singing voice I have heard! I had decided I wanted a old time fav for church entrance ( shania Twain from this moment) and all our guests stated they had goosebumps with how beautiful it sounded! Patrick is phenomenal on the Uilleann pipes especially along with flute & whistle. Clare also provided music on fiddle and piano! Our guests commented on how beautiful the music was! We can not thank Patrick and Clare enough! We really hope to hear them again soon at friends weddings! All our best Sheena & Richard xx

Patrick and the gang made our wedding day feel extra special with their trad session just after dinner. They got everybody in the dancing mood and really added something a little different to day.

Patrick was extremely professional, helpful and quick to respond throughout the planning process. He made it so easy, with no stress involved whatsoever.

We really can't thank Davey Music enough and we are already thinking up the next party we can invite them to! 10/10 - definitely recommend!

We had the most amazing music at our Christmas wedding it was simply stunning, especially 'oh Holy night' you are so professional and very talented, that you all xxx

Music was a very important part of our wedding day, we wanted the best & Davey Music did not disappoint.
Patrick was an absolute pleasure to work with from the start, such a professional & he made everything so easy and stress free!
A number of songs we chose for our ceremony had particular significance to us & they were played to perfection. The music was just beautiful and really pulled at the heart strings! We also had Davey Music for our drinks reception which was the best decision to set to tone for the night ahead. So many of our guests complimented the music and wanted to know who they were, it was lovely to hear!
We could not recommend Davey Music enough, they made the most important day of our lives so special and we are extremely grateful for that. Thank you so much!

From the moment we discovered Davey Music, we were captivated. We had our initial meeting with Patrick over video call to discuss our ceremony and drinks reception music and Patrick would play the tin whistle to let us hear each song, it was like a mini concert and we were blown away by his professionalism and attention to detail. There was a song I always wanted to walk down the Ailse to- It is called In Reverence by David Tolk. I spoke to Patrick about it and he was absolutely on board to learn this with the other extremely talented musicians. I will never forget the moment i heard them play this song as my Bridesmaids started to walk. It hit me so hard and my eyes filled up and it was the most beautiful piece I had ever heard. Davey music put their hearts into everything they play and we had so many people comment on how stunning and haunting the music was and wanted to know more about who we had chosen. Which reminds me, I must get the music playlist from you Patrick! We have so ma h friends and family who have requested your set.
We honestly cannot thank you enough for what you have done for us. We are eternally grateful. Thank you for making our day so special with the most beautiful music we could have ever asked for.
Cara & Sean

We couldn't thank Davey music enough for the beautiful music at our wedding ceremony. Patrick played the Uilleann pipes, whistle and flute, and was accompanied by Lucy on vocals and harp, and Marcella on the fiddle. Davey Music was one of the first suppliers we booked for our wedding, as we knew the mix of Irish and Liturgical tunes would set the tone for the day. Patrick made the whole planning process so easy. We had so many guests comment on how fabulous the music was. Highly recommend!

From the very beginning Patrick has been so accommodating. Communication was great. Patrick and the team delivered a great set for us at our Day 2. It was everything we wanted and they were great. Do book!

Davey Music went to such incredible lengths to make our day as special as possible. Patrick is incredibly easy to work with and was more than happy to accommodate any requests we had.
Clare and I have received so many compliments on the beautiful music for the ceremony as well as the entertaining music at the drinks reception on the island.
Patrick and Davey Music were a massive part of what made our wedding so memorable and we would recommend them to anyone!

Patrick played our music beautifully. We wish that we could have had him for longer throughout the day he was that fantastic. All our guest thought our ceremony and afterwards said Patrick was fabulous and there was nothing but good comments. Would highly recommend.

Paddy has been an absolute pleasure to work with through the preparation for the music for our wedding! Having had to move the date 3 times for us due to COVID-19, Paddy was always very easy to work with and keep us at ease!

Having played with 'Davey Music' over the years, knowing how professional and personal Paddy is, always putting the couple first, I knew we would be in safe hands. Paddy met with us both and was very respectful to our wants and wishes as to how we wanted the music to add to our Special Day. We even had one specific request for I Giorni, a piano piece that was very special to us both. Paddy was able to deliver this for us by requesting Claire to play at the wedding to accommodate this for us.

The guests also commented on how beautiful the singing and playing was, some feeling quite unexpectedly emotional due to it's beauty!

Paddy and his team also came and provided music for our drinks reception at the Dunadry Hotel, with it being a beautiful day, they set up outside where our guests were. The feedback was that they 'really helped to set the vibe' for our guests to relax and enjoy their day even more than they imagined they would. We would personally like to thank Paddy and his amazing team for helping to add so much to our Wedding Day and to make it even more special than we had thought it could be.

It was a pleasure to have Davey Music to be part of our day and even more enjoyable being on the receiving end of such a professional and highly skilled set of musicians. Thank you, Selina & Phil xx

Patrick Davey and the team of musicians are superb! He was really easy to communicate with. The music on the day of our wedding set the atmosphere and tone for the day! It was so magical and perfect! Couldn't have asked for anything more! Thankyou Patrick!x

What can we say... The music provided by Patrick and the musicians was simply beautiful. Patrick went out of his way to accommodate our requests and provide a personal touch for our ceremony, which meant the world to us. Ourselves and our guests could not praise them highly enough. Thank you so much for everything x

I would like to say a massive thank you to Patrick, Clare and Ciara for helping to make our wedding day so magical. As soon as I started planning the wedding I knew Davey Music was exactly what I wanted, having met Patrick over 10 years ago through work. I reached out to him, and as always he was an absolute pleasure to deal with! Patrick made the whole planning process so easy and offered great support and guidance. The music, at both the Church and drinks reception, was just beautiful and added that extra special touch to our day. We had so many guests comment on how wonderful the music was. We honestly couldn't have asked for anything better and we can't thank you enough!

booked Davey Music to play at.the drinks reception for our wedding on 25th June 2022 and they were fantastic from the moment we booked them right up until they finished playing they were professional, friendly and such nice people to deal with. Everyone at the reception without exception enjoyed listening to them play (they even took requests) Thank you so much, you made what was already a fabulous day even better. We would totally recommend Davey Music to anyone looking to book.

We booked Patrick for the ceremony and drinks reception music of the Irish part of our Indian-Irish wedding. Half of our guests had never heard Irish traditional music before so we were really excited for them to hear it and Patrick, Ciara and Clare certainly did not disappoint! The music set the tone of the day perfectly and we couldn’t have been happier with it.

I had listened to Patrick’s version of Canon in D over and over again before the wedding and I couldn’t wait to have it played as I walked down the aisle. It was even more perfect than I ever could have imagined in real life and it made the entrance into the church so special.

Not only was the music on the day brilliant, Patrick was very responsive, accommodating and he is clearly very experienced. We always felt reassured and knew that Patrick had everything under control!

Thank you so much to Patrick, Ciara and Clare!

I came across Patrick’s page on Instagram a few years ago which was actually before I was even engaged. I don't know how I managed to stumble upon his account but am delighted that I did! I knew that if I ever got married I wanted to have Irish traditional music for the ceremony and drinks reception and was completely delighted that Patrick had availability on our wedding date. Anytime I made contact with Patrick via email, he replied quickly and made everything so easy and straight forward during what can be a stressful time.

Patrick played the flute, tin whistle and uIilleann pipes, Ciara Maguire played the fildde and Ciara Taaffe played the harp. They were all incredible and are extremely talented. They made our day so extra special and I cannot thank them all enough. There was one song I had chosen for the wedding ceremony which I wanted to change slightly as I wanted this to be played on the uIilleann pipes and honestly it wasn’t any bother in the slightest. Every time I listen back to the music chosen for the wedding ceremony it gives me goosebumps and brings back so many happy memories.

Patrick and his team are unbelievable and I would recommend them to anyone getting married who are looking for Irish traditional music. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again to Patrick and his team. Bronagh and Cathal

I always wanted traditional Irish music at my wedding. Patrick, clare and Ciara were incredible! They made our day so extra special. I cannot thank them enough. They were amazing from start to finish. I was blown away by how beautiful they sounded in my church. And at our venue they put our guests in the mood to party with their amazing reels. All of our guests were raving about how good they were. Patrick was a pleasure to deal with, responded to all queries exceptionally fast and made sure everything would be right for us on our day. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you!

Great music provided by great professional musicians. Everyone at the wedding loved the music and really added to our day.

I'm so glad I found Davey music! Once I seen the clip of the braveheart tune that was them booked. Couldn't ask for any better, beautiful music and a delight to communicate with. Planning a wedding during Covid wasn't easy, not meeting people who are part of your wedding but Patrick video called and went through everything, even gave us a wee sample on the tin whistle. We weren't sure on what we needed for a civil ceremony but he knew how to put together the pieces we wanted and it was just perfect. Overall they are just magnificent and I would have no problem recommending Davey music for your wedding. Thank you for being part of our day and making it special.

We fell in love with Patrick's music the second we watched his videos. We contacted him straight away and from day one he was a pleasure to deal with! Patrick was one of our favourite suppliers to work alongside as he replied promptly to every email, and kindly answered any questions we had, he was always so polite and we got good vibes off him straight away. He made organising our wedding music a breeze! Patrick has a lovely easy going nature and gentle personality. Patrick travelled a very long distance for us and he suggested a collaboration with the wonderful Fiana Ní Chonaill (harpist). After listening to some of her pieces we got even more excited to have them play for us! We found Patrick and Fiana were very reasonably priced despite the distance travelled (Belfast to Offaly and Limerick to Offaly), the time and effort they put into our ceremony and drinks reception music including Patrick travelling from Belfast to Limerick before our wedding to practice with Fiana, and their time to answer emails and take video calls. We received huge compliments from our guests about how beautiful our ceremony music was. It really added to our ceremony and tugged on the heart strings! There wasn't a dry eye in the room, and it was perfect from start to finish. Patrick played beautifully on the low whistle, tin whistle and uileann pipes and Fiana blew us away especially with her solo performance on the harp. We also received a lot of compliments on our drinks reception music, they both played some lively tunes to get everyone in the mood to start the party. They really set the tone for a great evening. The music was played at a perfect volume, loud enough that it could be heard in the background and enjoyed but not too loud that people were able to hold a conversation without raising their voices over the music. This is something that we ALWAYS notice at weddings, there's nothing worse than not being able to chat comfortably to people because the music is too loud! We would highly recommend Patrick Davey Music and would encourage anyone to let him pick his accompanying musicians. You won't be disappointed!

Davey Music were an absolute dream for our wedding ceremony and reception. Patrick was such a gentleman and is so incredibly talented (as is Emma). Everybody commented on how amazing the music was. I couldn't have wished for a better way to walk up the aisle.

Patrick did an amazing job on our wedding day! He was really flexible with the choices of songs we had and it sounded beautifully in the chapel and at the reception in the Four Seasons Hotel Monaghan! Would definitely recommend!

The music provided by Patrick Davey and Eilís Lavelle was the perfect backdrop to our perfect day. We received so many compliments from our wedding guests regarding the quality of the music pieces.

Patrick was a pleasure to work with from day one and answered all questions quickly and was incredibly informative. We would highly recommend Davey Music to all future brides and grooms, you won't be disappointed. I just wish we could do it all again next weekend!!! Amazing!

Thank you so much to Patrick and Colleen for making our wedding ceremony so special. We loved every minute of our wedding mass and so much of this was due to your beautiful music. We had lots of family and friends who also sang at the ceremony and Patrick and Colleen joined in and accompanied them so professionally as well as performing their own beautiful pieces. Nothing was a problem to Patrick and he was so easy to work with. Reliable and professional musicians who are dedicated to providing the best service possible. Thank you so much for adding such a special touch of magic to the best day of our lives.

BOOK DAVEY MUSIC ????
From the moment we contacted Patrick, we knew we'd made the right call, our music was in great hands. Booking was easy, Patrick was super efficient at getting back to us. A few weeks before the wedding, we had a video call to go through all the music, Patrick played a selection of songs for us and gave solid advise on song selection.
On the day the music was second to none, Patrick & girls worked along side my own singer.
Patrick and his fellow musicans are all AMAZING.

I cannot recommend Davey music group highly enough! They were all we hoped they would be - a fantastic trad band for our wedding reception, they really set the reception off with a bang and helped make a wonderful atmosphere. An absolute pleasure to work with too! Thanks again Patrick, Nadia and Ursula!

We were so happy Patrick & Ursula could perform on our wedding day for our drinks reception. All of our guests loved their music and they were extremely professional throughout the day.
Patrick was great to deal with especially with all the constant changes we were experiencing in the run up to our day and always had alternative options available which was great.
I would highly recommend Davey Music for your wedding day, was great to have Irish music especially for all our guests who travelled over from London.
I hope to see you live again in the near future!
Aisling & Jarelle xx

Patrick and his team of musicians are absolutely fantastic! We had a few too many changes to our wedding date thanks to covid but this was never an issue for Patrick and he was so lovely to deal with every time. Nothing was too much trouble for these guys, a few weeks before the wedding I decided to change the entrance music and combine two pieces and Patrick was so enthusiastic and helpful in doing exactly what we wanted and making our day so perfect! All of our guests commented on beautiful the music was and how it added such emotion to our service. The drinks reception was also fantastic, so lively and enjoyable to listen to. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone planning a wedding, they were so easy to book and arrange and nothing was too much trouble! Thank you again Patrick and your team

All round fantastic experience from Davey Music. Great communication and preparation before our wedding and Patrick was more than happy to accommodate some of our specific requests. The team provided music for both our ceremony and our drinks reception and both performances were perfect. The drinks reception music really got the party started! We had loads of great comments from guests on the day and have had more since then. Couldn't recommend these guys enough!

From start to finish Patrick and his band were amazing to work with. Nothing was an issue and they made the church planning that bit easier. I had 4 musicians, one flute player, violinist, harp player and one gorgeous vocalist. Every song was done to perfectionist and they helped make it the best day of both our lives. Thanks guys

Having chosen Davey music for our wedding is hands down one of the best decisions we made. Patrick is a gentleman and an absolute dream to deal with.
Patrick, Nadia & Mairead played the most beautiful music for our ceremony and drinks reception. Can't quite put into words how grateful we are to have Davey music play such a big part of our day. Our guests are still talking about how fantastic they were! Hand on our hearts, we can confidently say that if you choose Davey Music you will absolutely not be disappointed.
Huge thank you to Patrick and the girls for celebrating our big day with us!
Karen & Eoin Daly

We were so lucky to have Patrick, Bronagh and Grainne play at our ceremony at the Lodge at Ashford Castle on the 1st August 2021. From the moment we booked them, we knew we had made the right choice. Patrick is so approachable and kind. He gave us great advice on song selection as well as additional pieces which would add to the ceremony. They were extremely flexible given the ongoing restrictions. Up until the week before, we were still unsure if we were allowed to have music at the reception. Patrick went above and beyond and kindly provided a CD of their songs so that we could still enjoy their music at the reception. We had so many comments about how beautiful the music was. From start to finish, they were amazing! We could not recommend them enough! xxx Laura and Peter

It is hard to put into words just how amazing the music was for our wedding ceremony. It was truly beautiful, made even more special as my lovely cousin Ellen sang and played the fiddle. A huge thank you to Patrick for his guidance and help in picking the most beautiful songs. He was a dream to work with on the lead up to the big day. I will be recommending to every future bride!! I couldn’t ask for a better trio than Patrick, Ellen and Grainne.

The music was so beautiful and just really perfect for our wedding ceremony. Patrick was such a great person to deal with - he was very responsive to emails and just so helpful and supportive when trying to rearrange a wedding during COVID. We couldn't fault anything and all our guests commented how much they loved it!

I can not recommend highly enough!
Davey Music provided music for our wedding ceremony in Musseden Temple at very late notice. Patrick went above and beyond to accommodate our ideas and couldn't have done more to help keep the day stress free!
The music itself was SO beautiful and made my walk down the aisle feel magical ?
Professional, personable and really made the day perfect - Worth every penny! Thank you so much xx

If you haven't thought of using traditional Irish musicians for your wedding (or other event) then take a few minutes to consider using Davey Music. We have just used Patrick and his group for out third family wedding (which really says it all) and cannot recommend him highly enough, both for the church service and for the reception afterwards. Patrick is very professional but also very easy to deal with, very flexible and very willing to meet beforehand to discuss your choice of music - and don't worry, if you can hum it, Davey Music can play it; they can quite literally play anything. If you're not sure about which tunes you would like, again, don't worry - Patrick and his group have such a wide repertoire that he will certainly be able to recommend something suitable for your needs. I am quite confident that, if you choose Davey Music, you will not be disappointed but those beautiful traditional instruments will add something extra to your special day and will give you and your guests something to talk about and to remember for a long time to come.

Patrick was so helpful when we got in contact to book our wedding music and the day we met him in Belfast he was so friendly and welcoming we knew he was going to be perfect for our day. He was so good to work with, and helped us choose songs for our mass.
Our wedding was cancelled in March with covid and Patrick was so flexible and held multiple dates to try and work with us.
On the day the church music was so beautiful, we loved it and our guests are still talking about it.
Patrick and the girls Colleen and Aoife kindly travelled to kilronan and played beautiful music at our reception drinks. Not only this but they provided our nights music, they played our lovely wedding first song and despite covid our guests were on the dance floor (socially distanced) and loved the music. We loved every minute of it. You won’t get any better then Patrick and his girls.

Patrick and his wife Bronagh provided the music for our wedding reception. The music was flawless and the song choice was excellent and fitted the venue perfectly. We had postponed our May wedding due to Covid to next April, but very recently decided to just go ahead with it this September, and Patrick was so accommodating with this change. If you want traditional music, in a relaxing and fun environment davey music is the way to go. Thank you again Patrick and Bronagh.

We had Patrick play at our small outdoor ceremony at Laragh Lodge in Glenariff Forest Park and his performance could not have been more suitable. He was able to offer us a choice of tin whistle, pipes, and flute for the ceremony at a brilliant price for the quality that was supplied. He was happy to play all of our suggested songs and could not have been more accommodating. Highly recommended.

This is long but it has to be said...

Where do I start! Patrick and the team from Davey Music where AMAZING. The whole lead up to the wedding Patrick was in contact, responsive and informative. I pretty much knew the music I wanted, however, he guided me when I had ask questions. He was honestly just the best I could have asked for to support. On the day the group were out of this world. Everyone complemented the music at the church saying how different it was and how amazing the musicians were. Patrick is super talented playing the uilleann pipes, flute and whistle, he was joined by two stunning ladies, one who played the fiddle player and the other the harp and this lady had a beautiful voice. They continued to play more upbeat and traditional music back at Lough Eske Castle for the welcome drink and well if I could only upload the videos you would be able to see for yourself the crowed they had up dancing before dinner!!!!! They blew us away. It was a magical moment when they played their last piece of music I think it was and everyone was clapping, cheering and dancing whilst my husband and I did a video selfie of it all. I will always remember this music at my wedding and I put this down to Patrick and Davey Music for setting scene. They are incredible and I would recommend them to every bride looking for traditional Irish music.

We had the BEST time! The entertainment made our day so special. Those who took part in the dancing loved it as did those who were watching. Everyone was so accommodating as we ran a little over with time. The band are lovely and in between dances Diarmuid is great craic!

From the first moments I saw a video of Patrick playing the uilleann pipes from our home in Australia, I knew that I had to have his beautiful music playing as I walked down the aisle. It would be fair to say the music he, Bronagh and Cathy provided was a highlight of our wedding for both us and our guests, and we had many guests comment on it. It was so stunningly beautiful. We also asked Patrick to compose an original piece in memory of a close family member. It was all we could have hoped for and more. To present this as a gift to someone close to us was so meaningful and made the day all the more special. When planning our ceremony we had a good idea of the pieces we wanted played, thanks to the huge catalogue of videos Davey Music provides online. Patrick however helped us to place these appropriately, and answered any questions we had quickly and with his usual friendly manner. I would encourage anyone thinking of booking Davey Music to absolutely do so, these talented musicians deserve every accolade they get. Our special day would not have been the same without them, and we thank them for sharing their beautiful music with us and our guests.

We used Davey music for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the quality and professionalism of this group. Patrick met up with us in advance of our wedding and gave us great advice on the music to choose as well as practical details about how the day would progress and where to fit music in to add to the occasion. Having experienced, talented professionals performing on the day of our wedding was so important and we highly recommend Davey music to anyone planning a special event. Thank you Patrick!

The first time we heard Davey Music we knew we wanted them for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception music. We even cancelled the group we had already booked! Right from the start Patrick was warm and very responsive to emails. I liked him straight away and loved that he played the uillean pipes, flute, low flute and tin whistle! When it came to picking the music, he was really helpful and so accommodating when it came to a couple of requests. These are proper professional musicians who will go above and beyond to make your day so unique and special. Patrick was accompanied by the very talented harpist Emer Shearer on the day and we are so thankful we made the decision to get in touch. All our guests kept coming and telling us how much they loved the music. Patrick and Emer, you really made our day! Thank you so much!
Nic and Majella

Davey music you were absolutely phenomenal. Our guests never stopped commenting on your performance. Your music was very fitting with out outdoor ceremony and I can’t thank you all enough. You truely delivered a fantastic display and we will never forget the wonderful music you composed for us during our ceremony, drinks reception and not to mention the fabulous harpist who played during our meal. From start to finish you were excellent to work alongside. Well done and keep up the fantastic work you all do.

Davey Music we’re absolutely wonderful at our drinks reception music, they are all so so talented- they definitely helped make our wedding magical! The music was beautiful, and the service was so professional, and also extremely quick to reply to emails!

Amazing performers

From start to finish Patrick was a great help and gave us plenty of guidance as we were really unsure of what music to have played at specific times threw the ceremony.
One the day the standard of music was first class and this opinion was shared by many of our guests who have since commented on the service music. For us the mixture of the harp, fiddle and uilleann pipes sent goosebumps right threw us.
We would certainly have no hesitation in recommending these three highly talented and very professional musicians.

Many thanks

When my then-fiancee and I had the idea of asking an Irish folk band to play at our wedding ceremony, we did some searching online but couldn't find many options - then we found Davey Music. We had a very clear idea of the sort of music we wanted and Davey Music absolutely delivered. Not only did they play the pieces and hymns we chose with zero fuss, they adapted things a little to our liking - including bringing a bodhrán player in and getting the speed of certain pieces just how we wanted them. All the guests seemed to love the music and many told us so on the day. We certainly did, it was just beautiful. Patrick was very professional and easy to talk to. We had a wonderful ceremony and Davey Music was a huge part of that. Thank you again, guys!

We couldn’t recommend Davey Music highly enough. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the music was- and it was a personal highlight for us. The church ceremony was extremely moving, the music was stunning. Patrick has been so helpful throughout the planning process- always responsive to emails, organised and friendly. It has been a pleasure to work alongside him planning the music for our big day.

From start to finish the service we received from Patrick was nothing short of 5*. From the help he provided us when choosing music for our mass. The music in the chapel was so beautiful provided by Patrick on the whistle and pipes, Mairead on the fiddle and Selina on the harp and vocals they even learned a new tune at our request for myself to walk up the aisle 'the little ones' by Maurice Lennon.

Music was also provided for the drinks reception at the hotel where Patrick and Mairead were joined by Paul on the guitar and vocals, the place was hopping when we arrived. The music set a fun and lively atmosphere which lasted the night through.

Without a doubt 1 of the highlights from our Wedding Day. Our guests all loved the music from the Ceremony to the drinks reception. Patrick is an absolute gent and so lovely to work with. Would recommend him to any couple thinking about wedding musicians

Davey music played during our ceremony and drinks reception. They were truly professional and from our first enquiry we made the whole service was so smooth and easy. We trusted their guidance and the music was so perfect and enjoyable for both us and the guests. Can't recommend them enough!

What can I say about Patrick? He has been a great friend for years and of course it was the easiest decision to have him as part of our music at our wedding. Patrick played along with a number of close friends and nothing was too much. Even when he found out he was organising 16 musicians he took it in his stride and organised practices to ensure everyone knew what they were doing. I picked his own composition 'An Island Lullaby' to walk down the aisle to and to say people are still talking about his pipe playing is an understatement! Patrick made my own traditional group feel at ease and he was more than happy to coordinate the day. Being a fellow musician I would have nothing but the best and Patrick is exactly that. The music at our reception was outstanding and guests are still talking about him. Thank you for making our day so special. Xoxo

very professional service ...music was amazing.

This is a long review, and that’s because I am still in awe at what Davey Music managed to pull off at my wedding. My sister and I were students of Patrick Davey’s years ago, and Davey Music had done a fantastic job at my sister’s wedding in Belfast in 2016. So, when my fiancé and I were organizing our wedding this year, I was really hoping to get Davey Music to play at ours. But, the big stumbling block was that we were getting married in Spain! I messaged Patrick and asked was there any possibility we could sort something out? After looking into the matter, we both realized that, logistically, it would be too complicated, as well as too expensive. I was disappointed but resigned - I had known when we booked the wedding that getting Davey Music to Spain might prove impossible. In order to have some Irish music, even if it wasn’t what I’d hoped for, we decided to have traditional music playing on the sound system in the background during the reception. Fast forward a few months and there we were, eating lovely Spanish food and enjoying the amazing weather, when all of a sudden Mr Patrick Davey’s voice boomed out of the ceiling with a pre-recorded message for me! I couldn’t believe my ears. How on earth was he on the sound system of a Spanish hotel?! He said he was sorry he couldn’t be there in person but he’d composed a tune in honour of the event and wished us all the very best in our married life. Then he played the tune and the entire place fell silent listening. I was so happy I cried - and then I prayed my makeup would stay the course! (It did, thankfully!) It turns out Patrick had conspired with my fiancé and my dad, not only to get his composition and message played at our wedding without me knowing anything about it, but also to have a beautiful framed copy of the music as well as a CD sent over from Belfast. Davey Music made our wedding day amazing without even being in the same country! Hats off to you, you did a brilliant job! Muchas gracias! The framed composition will have pride of place in our house.

Davey Music provided the most amazing drinks reception music for us at very short notice for our wedding which included a fair bit of travel. Patrick got back to my enquiry promptly and communication is general was second to none. They were both soo friendly on the day and our guests raved about how great they were, would highly recommend

I was at a wedding in Donegal in the summer and Davey music added to the ambience in the small quaint chapel. The music was just beautiful from the moment the bride walked up the aisle to the pre reception drinks. Would highly recommend Davey Music - could listen to them all day !!

Patrick & co are just unbelievably talented i only spoke to Patrick by phone & email before the big day & yet he had everything we wanted just perfect. Everyone was talking about my chapel music & still are. If your looking for traditional,professional & memorial music then I can't reccomend them enough....

I found Patrick through an entertainment agency and they were able to put me in touch with him via email to discuss my requests.
From the beginning Patrick was extremely easy to liaise with and more than happy to accommodate my requests!
On the day the music was sensational. Everyone commented on how wonderfully talented and friendly the musicians had been. They played our ceremony and also drinks reception. It was such beautiful weather that we asked Patrick and the girls if they would mind playing out in the garden and they were happy to do this. The musical backdrop was lovely and really added to the ambience. We had wanted a Trad feel to our day and they certainly provided this. They were also able to change instruments to suit various songs.
I would highly recommend Patrick Davey’s Traditional Trio to anyone who is contemplating this genre of music at their wedding! X

Patrick and his musicians were absolutely brilliant on our wedding day. They played both our ceremony and drinks reception and we got so many compliments on the music.
From day 1 Patrick was so easy to work with and gave us loads of great suggestions and tips when choosing our music. Nothing was ever a bother and he was so quick and responsive to emails.
We would highly recommend Davey Music to anyone planning a wedding.
Thanks for everything, Michelle & Stuart x

We had Davey music play at the reception drinks for our wedding a few months ago. Patrick was so friendly and easy to deal with. Himself and Mairead created such a lovely atmosphere for our drinks, we were delighted with them. I would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks so much again :)

Couldn’t have been happier with the service provided by Davey Music - Patrick himself was a charmer and nothing was too much trouble (even the late addition of a singer) Patrick was happy to take on board our ideas as well as guiding us with his own. Our guests complimented the ceremony music which was nothing short of perfection in our eyes! Truly talented musicians, I would recommend without hesitation time and time again!

Hi Patrick At last we have settled down after the wedding and find time to contact you to say a great thank you for your fabulous entertainment for the wedding of Donna and Duncan. We were entertained in exactly the way we wished for, and asked for, and much much more. Thanks also to your fellow performers for a great evening of great sing along Irish music. Alec and Debbie

Beautiful music for my ceremony and drinks reception. Great communication and guidance. Thank you and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

The service we received from Davey Music was top class. Patrick was in regular contact on the run up to our big day to ensure our needs were met with the choice of music. We had music at the drinks reception which went down a treat with all the guests and of course my wife and I. It is a service that I cant recommend highly enough. Thank you helping us put together the most amazing day

Davey music were perfect for what we wanted! My guests loved having some traditional Irish music and it certainly created a lovely atmosphere. I would thoroughly recommend them, great value for money! They were very easy to communicate with too. Thank you to them for helping make our day so perfect.

I would highly recommend Patrick and his fella musicians. He was such a lovely person to deal with. He responded to all our queries immediately and made us feel reassured in our choices of music for our ceremony and evening reception.

The music itself was beautiful and fitting for both our ceremony, the harpist for the champagne reception and then the traditional music for later in the evening. Patrick is wonderful at what he does and selected lovely musicians to accompany him for our wedding.

We hired Davey Music for our Ceremony and Drinks reception and could not recommend them enough. From the day we contacted them they where quick to reply to any questions or queries we had for them.
Patrick (our main contact for Davey music) introduced himself and the band as he arrived and took a real interest in our day everyone was friendly and professional. They played as the guests arrived for the ceremony setting a brilliant mood for the day to come and our ceremony music was exactly what we asked for and beautiful.
We where off getting photos taken during the drinks reception but have had nothing but great reviews from our friends.
I highly recommend them to make your Special day even more so.

My husband and I have strong ties to both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, so even though we were getting married in Texas, we wanted to include some traditional music for the festivities. Davey Music created and recorded a special song just for us—a combination of a traditional Irish melody and a Texas folk song—and it was such a delightful surprise! I can’t sing the praises of Patrick and his Davey Music team highly enough. They added a truly unique and beautiful memory to our special day.

We cannot commend Davey Music enough for helping our wedding to be more than perfect. All guests commented and thoroughly enjoyed the music and ambience created. Prior to service, we meet Patrick to discuss music choices and his experience shone through, his choice of arrangement was just right. All 3 musicians involved were truly excellent and set the tone for the day. Many thanks.

Stunning music. Very unique and set a beautiful atmosphere for our service.

I felt very lucky to have Davey music play at our wedding. Patrick was a pleasure to deal with. He provided a beautiful selection of music. He liaised with the priest ahead of the service and left us feeling that the music was entirely taken care of. Many of our guests commented on the music and it made our service very special. Highly, highly recommend Davey music.

Patrick and his very talented group provided us with the most incredible music at our wedding. All our guests were blown away by the stunning quality of the traditional instrumental pieces and all the hymns were sung beautifully. We couldn't have asked for more. With his extensive knowledge and experience, Patrick helped us to create the perfect score for the day. The memories will last a lifetime.

From the moment I contacted Patrick about conducting the music at my wedding he was of the greatest help. We met up with him not really knowing what songs and music we wanted but he gave us options, even took out instruments and played tunes for us, and was most efficient and helpful. He really showed a genuine keeness to be involved and accomodate us in every way. On the wedding day the quality of the musicians and singer was first class, all the guests were passing comment about how beautiful and moving the music was , a couple if future brides even asked me for his details. Very professional from start to finish and a lovely man. So pleased to have had them part of our special day

For our wedding on 31st May 2014 Patrick and his extremely talented team played harp & flute both in the church and at our reception venue , I cannot recommend them highly enough in terms of organisation, professionalism , talent & friendliness ! Great value for money also and in my opinion we would have paid more , many of our guests commented on their beautiful music & it really added to the relaxed , amazing atmosphere on our special day. My entrance to the church to pachelbels canon in D major was a particular highlight! Thanks again.

We hired Davey Music for our wedding. The music was exquisite. We enjoyed every moment of the service. Davey Music involved us in all aspects of planning and choosing the music. This was extremely important to us. We were able to attend a pre-event recital, which really helped in our choice of music. Their calm and flexible approach took all the worry and hassle out of our wedding planning. We have used Davey Music for many celebrations since then and have recommended them to friends.
