Davey Music

Ben and I are so grateful for the wonderful music, Davey Music provided for our special day . It was beautiful and, as the music meant so much to me especially. Davey Music have been with Ben and I through four COVID postponements, and one postponement due to the death of my father . They never failed to treat us with compassion and patience throughout. The music was absolutely out of this world , with many guests commenting on the gorgeous singing, the wonderful fiddle playing , and the haunting flute and whistle . Patrick Davey had composed a jig for our wedding, and it was incredibly special, I felt that Patrick had , from his years of teaching me, captured my personality. He even framed it for me and it will take pride of place in our new house! It was absolutely perfect and words are not enough to express our gratitude. Thank you so much for everything. We absolutely loved it.

The most beautiful music for our wedding mass. Was exactly what we wanted. Patrick is so professional and honestly best musician ever, always kept in contact in the run up to the wedding keeping us informed every step along the way. All the guests were commenting on how beautiful the music was!

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!

I can’t speak highly enough of Patrick and his team, from the day we booked Davey music to play at our ceremony and drinks reception right up to the wedding day itself Patrick was so helpful. We had a phone consultation the week before the wedding and talked through everything, his professionalism was unreal and really put us at ease. The music throughout was exceptional from the beautiful traditional music during the ceremony to the lively jigs at the reception. Patrick worked with us so we could put our own touch on the day through music it was amazing. Can’t thank them enough.

Patrick was fantastic, the performance on the day was great and so easy to deal with during the time coming up to the wedding. Highly recommend Patrick for your wedding day as you won’t be let down, fantastic performance and lovely to deal with it.

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

Couldn't of made it any easier for us. With great music and friendly faces! I wouldn't look anywhere else !

Amazing music for our wedding ceremony and reception. Patrick was so helpful in the lead up to the wedding and we could not recommend more!

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!

Thank you so much for the beautiful music on fri. It was brilliant!! You made our ceremony so special, beautiful songs and melody. The walk in worked perfectly! Thanks so much, you made our day. Maria & Paddy x

From the moment I contacted Patrick about playing at our wedding I knew we had to have him play. He was so friendly and full of craic. He was so attentive with every message and email and honestly provided everything I asked for. Myself and my husband met with Patrick a few weeks before the wedding and he was so lovely and even played a taster tune for us lol. I cant describe how beautiful my music was walking down the aisle it was something I will never forget! everything was perfect. All my guests commented on how beautiful the music was at the service and of course the trad sesh at my drinks reception. If you are thinking about booking davey music DO IT! You will not be disappointed! Patrick grainne and ciara yous done an amazing job, thanks for making our day so special. Lots of love the Carsons x

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!

We cannot thank Patrick and his brilliant musicians enough for the beautiful music they played at our wedding ceremony and reception. We had to re-arrange our wedding a number of times and Patrick was always very quick to respond to emails and messages, and was incredibly understanding and supportive of us through what was a very stressful situation. We didn't really know what music we wanted initially but Patrick's guidance and recommendations were incredibly helpful in planning the music for the ceremony and reception and we could not have been happier with the final result, the music was beautiful. We could not recommend Patrick enough!

Patrick was a gentleman and a pleasure to deal with throughout the process of booking and having Davey music perform at our church ceremony and reception drinks. The music was incredible throughout and really brought something special to the day. I would highly recommend Davey music to anyone planning a wedding

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!

Having Patrick as our ceremony and reception musician was an absolute joy. Not only was the music beautiful but dealing with Patrick was so easy. He is always quick to reply to any emails and made it so easy for us when deciding what music to go with for our wedding mass. We had so many guests complimenting the music on our wedding day. For anyone reading this who is considering Davey Music for their wedding, go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Patrick Davey and the ladies were amazing at both our ceremony and drinks reception and had so many great comments from the guests. Patrick was fantastic to work with, very responsive and gave some great guidance on what music to have in the church which was so appreciated. Highly recommended.

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.

Patrick and Bronagh were truly amazing to work with. Patrick was super quick to respond and we follows his lead as his depth of knowledge was impressive, to say the least. The guys were superb on the day and added to the magical atmosphere of our wedding.

Patrick and his team were so easy to work with. They made the ceremony and turned it into a fairy tale for us. We honestly could not have been happier and would highly recommend them to anyone to have for their wedding!

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

My niece got married at Field of Dreams. I was delighted to hear that Davey Music was providing music for the ceili. The music was absolutely amazing and the dancing was the most fun you can have at a wedding. All guests getting up to dance and loving the music and craic. Definitely would recommend Davey Music for any wedding event! 5 star

We had an evening ceili at our wedding. The music and our caller was amazing! Could not fault the service. Patrick is so passionate about what he does and cares so much. If you are thinking of trad music or a ceili or both, absolutely choose Davey Music!

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

Fantastic service from Patrick, friendly, prompt replies to emails. Patrick's professionalism is exceptional. We couldn't recommend Davey music enough. The musicians helped to make our day extra special, the music in the church and drinks reception was enjoyed by all. Many thanks Patrick! x

Patrick was brilliant from the minute we contacted him, he responded so quickly and played exactly the music we wanted. He played with singers from our family to make our music extra special and made everything so stress free. We knew as soon as we spoke to him that the music would be great and on the day it was even better than our expectations.

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

We had the pleasure of 3 wonderful musicians, including Patrick himself, play music at our Chapel ceremony and also at our hotel drinks reception. From our first meeting with Patrick we knew we had made the right decision. He made everything so easy and was so helpful in suggesting music that would suit our wedding day. The music at the ceremony was simply beautiful, always on que and so many people commented on how wonderful it was. Our guests raved about the traditional set we had arranged for the drinks reception and said that the lively set definetly set the mood for some dancing later on in the evening. 5 star service all round and we cannot thank Patrick Davey and his wonderful team of musicians enough. Highly recommend to any other couple.

We have been following Davey music for years and were delighted Patrick & his fellow musicians (finally) got to play at our wedding! Their kindness & professionalism was greatly appreciated when we had to postpone more than once due to covid. Their talents are endless & I can’t begin to explain how special it was that they were able to learn a song for the bridal entrance from my favourite film! They even learnt the song on piano, which was brought along on the day - although we had only booked the flute harp & fiddle package! They played a mixture of jigs & reels, traditional Irish & modern day songs. Their music was pivotal to our day & I cannot recommend them enough! We will forever be thankful 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!

Patrick couldn't have been anymore amazing. Along with Ciara and Clare they completely made our ceremony. Patrick knew exactly what music I would like and accommodated me in every way. This is the third family wedding he has done and he never fails. Music was stunningly beautiful and couldn't have asked for better. Thank you so much, will definitely be recommending!

Patrick Davey was most approachable who accepted of our hymns choices. Patrick also accommodated our other music ideas & covered different versions of these using various instruments. This helped us to make an informed decision when confirming our playlist. Lastly, he was more than willing to perform alongside other musicians on the big day too. Therefore, we can now assure other couples that they are in the safest of hands with him. We have since developed & hope to maintain our friendship. Thank you for everything, P. All our love, The new Mr & Mrs Kennedy

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.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Davey Music to anyone thinking about having traditional Irish music at their wedding. They performed at our evening reception and made our night, the dance floor was full from start to finish. We had so many complements from our guests, and Patrick was so flexible and lovely to work with in the run up. Thank for again for such a fantastic, fun filled evening. It wouldn’t have been the same without you!

We came all the way from New York to have our wedding at Mussenden Temple in Northern Ireland, and to have the amazing sounds of Patrick’s trad band echoing throughout our venue was such a special touch. The music was so lively, and we had a blast twirling around to each song. Our guests absolutely loved this unique addition to our post-ceremony drinks reception, and I would highly recommend Patrick & Co. to anyone looking for an incredibly talented bunch of musicians to play at their event!

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 was getting married in a woodland setting and wanted an enchanted feel with dreamy music and Patrick gave me everything I wanted and more. Patrick kept in touch and always personable and friendly and I was super comfortable with him straight away. Two nights before the wedding I wanted to make a change - I thought I was chancing my arm even asking, but it wasn't a bother in the slightest. Patrick and Gerry - thank you for being part of our beautiful ceremony and I would highly recommend you to any couple in a heartbeat!

Davey music played for our wedding ceremony and I couldn’t be happier. All our guests were commenting on how lovely the music was. Patrick was fantastic at guiding us on picking the right songs for each part of our service, would definitely recommend!

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

Thank you so much for the amazing music at our wedding, both ceremony and drinks reception! We really wanted traditional Irish music at our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for any better! Patrick was a joy to work with throughout our planning process, and was professional and great craic on the day. A big thank you also to Ellen & Gráinne who played on the day, you’re all incredibly talented musicians!!

It was an absolute joy having Patrick and his team at our wedding, they truly made the day! Everyone commented on how great the music was. What’s more, they were great craic on the day, a lovely presence. We couldn’t have asked for better. From start to finish, Patrick was so helpful throughout the whole process. He was very easily contactable and just a lovely person to work with. We would highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for very talented, friendly musicians for their day! Thank you Patrick!

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!

Patrick and his team were fantastic! Really made our day, and the guests loved their music during the drinks reception. Massively recommend.

Patrick and the other musicians were truly incredible. We had so many guests comment on how beautiful the music was and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Also Patrick was so brilliant to deal with in the lead up and made everything so easy for us. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

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

Where do I begin? When we first listened to you playing on YouTube we knew we had to book you for our big day! It is never easy trying to plan a wedding but with covid and living in London made it even harder! However, Patrick you were fantastic. Anytime I contacted you via email, you replied straight away and I felt like over the many months of planning we got to know each other. It was so special knowing you were traveling from one island to another for our big day. You were all out of this world and everyone was asking about you all! You went out of your way to make sure all was perfect on the day and it was so much fun travelling out together on the ferry! To stand outside the church and see and hear everything coming together was just such a surreal yet amazing feeling, the music was so beautiful. It was a day we will never ever forget, Thank you again, Christina and Liam x

I am a Belfast girl living in the USA. I knew I wanted an Irish themed wedding and having heard Paddy and his band play at events before I just knew I wanted them for my own wedding. From the outset Paddy was so lovely (he should be a wedding planner) and gave me great advice.I had to reschedule due to Covid and he was so efficient and communication was excellent. He made planning a wedding in Ireland from the USA much more stress free. He gave me an idea on times and suggestions on how the day should go. I booked Davey music for my whole wedding day from ceremony, reception and an evening Ceili. They were the highlight of my wedding! The Americans could not get over the church ceremony music and said they felt they were at a concert and it was the most amazing ceremony and setting they had ever seen. Each one of the musicians and singer were so talented and lovely. It was a honor to have them perform at my wedding. Thank you so so much Paddy and your band for creating the most magical wedding entertainment I could have dreamed of. If your thinking of hiring Davey music look no further they are the best in the business and I can’t thank them enough for making my wedding day as beautiful as it was. Thank you, Sarah & Scott - Orlando, FL, USA.

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.

I can't even begin to express how much davey music made our day just magical. As I stood outside waiting to come in to meet my husband I could hear the music and I just crumbled it was everything I wanted and so soft and romantic , the whole ceromony was just beautiful , everyone said how emotional it was with the music. The songs we choose, to hear them been played just so beautiful was something that we will never forget. Thanks so much again to the three of you for making our special day. Not only was the music amazing but the friendliness of you all we could have sat down and chatted to yous for hours. So thank you for putting the special into our special day xxx lots of love leanne & dave in kildare xxx

Having experienced Patrick and his fellow musicians playing at my sister’s wedding a few years ago, I was delighted that he was available to provide the music for our drinks reception at the Station House Hotel, along with Nadia and his wife Bronagh. Patrick was a pleasure to deal with - professional and responsive when communicating with us in the run up to the wedding, but also just a lovely genuine person whose warmth and enthusiasm made our big day even more special. The trio are skilled and talented musicians and their music helped create a lively atmosphere which allowed everyone to relax and get into the party spirit ready for the evening ahead! We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Patrick, Bronagh and Nadia and cannot recommend Davey Music highly enough to other couples planning their wedding. You won’t be disappointed! Sara and Declan

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!

Patrick and his team of wonderful musicians were an absolute delight to have share our special day with us. They played during our ceremony and drinks reception & didn’t disappoint. We wanted a real tradition sound which we discussed over emails and video calls leading up to the big day. This was exactly what we got! Both myself, husband and all our guests commented on how wonderful all three musicians were. We highly recommend Patrick and his team for your wedding day or celebration.

Patrick was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He made the process super easy. He went over and above for us and composed a lullaby especially for my daughter. Patrick and Ciara played beautifully and made our day so special. Everybody was talking about how amazing they where.

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.

From the very second we messaged Davey music everything was perfect. Messages were replied to so quickly and any queries we had always answered. Nothing was too big an ask. Our music was perfect on our wedding day. We had a 3 piece for our ceremony and for drinks reception. Every single person at our wedding commented on how the music was so magical and really created a wonderful atmosphere. I honestly can’t thank the team at davey music enough for everything they did for us. The music helped ensure our wedding day was truly unforgettable. I would recommend davey music to anyone thinking about having live music at your wedding, you honestly won’t regret it. Thank you so much to davey music x

We had the pleasure of Patrick and Eilis play at our wedding - we could t have asked for any better. Patrick had a consultation with me before the wedding to discuss songs and advise what would be best and he was happy to learn a song that meant to much to us and my husbands grandparents it wasn’t a traditional Irish song but they were happy to learn it which was a suprise to our grandparents on the day ! The many talents of Patrick and the group were amazing the true authentic sound from the instruments played beautifully throughout the church hearing the first few notes before I walked down the isle I tested up and also at the hotel drinks reception was a lively feel throughout the day and we received many compliments about them! Any events we have in future we will certainly be using them again we just loved it all so much we can’t thank them enough and from the bottom of our hearts we thank them for make our day even more special and we highly recommend them

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!

It is impossible to put into words how DELIGHTED we were with the music at our wedding. From the minute I stumbled upon Patrick Davey music to the minute we said goodbye after our drinks reception finished, the experience with Patrick and his colleagues was perfect. I loved listening to all of the YouTube videos available in the run up to the wedding - which was a year longer due to postponing it last year. Having the videos really helped us keep up our excitement for the big day. Discussing the music programme with Patrick was like planning a concert with an exceptionally talented friend, he was more than happy to take on our ideas and offered the best advice! We had complications on the day due to a funeral before our wedding but you would never have known as Patrick and John and Eadaoin were total professionals and had all guests relaxed and happy before the wedding started. The music was so beautiful even our Priest said on the altar he didn’t want the wedding to end yet and when we arrived to our drinks reception the music had everyone in high spirits and ready for the rest of the evening. We would rate Patrick 11/10 and our guests commented so many times that the music was wonderful. We could gush for pages and pages about how delighted we were to have booked Patrick Davey Wedding Music for our big day, but would instead recommend everyone to book and experience the pleasure themselves. Thanks again SO much Patrick, John and Eadaoin - you were absolute perfection!

An exceptionally special treat provided by Davey music for my daughter's wedding in Enniskerry on Saturday past. Patrick composed a lovely wedding march tune for her, perfect for the day, and which captured the mood perfectly as the new couple made their grand entrance to the ballroom at Powerscourt Estate. When a combination os circumstances meant that Patrick was unable to attend the event to play, he organised a superb four piece band, the Wild Turkeys. Patrick - you did us all proud and made a memorable and very special occasion even more so. The new bride and groom are thrilled to bits with the framed copy of the sheet music you gave them - they will treasure it for ever. Very many thanks indeed, and I cannot recommend Davey Music enough. Regrettably, the above review machine only permits five stars for every category; multiples of that would barely do justice!

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!

We had Davey Music playing at our Wedding last month There performance was exceptional They are truly masters of their craft We enjoyed every note every tune most memorable Professional musicians with an extensive program Would recommend highly

We were so delighted to have Patrick, Gerry and Brian entertaining our guests during our drinks reception. We had so many lovely comments about the music from our friends and family and it added so much to the atmosphere of the day for us. I have known Patrick for many years and couldn’t think of anyone better to provide beautiful traditional music at our wedding. Thank you again for adding so much to our wedding day. X

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.

We are nearly one month on from the wedding, and our guests are still commenting on how the excellent the music was that we had throughout both our ceremony and our drinks reception! As the groom is from England, his family loved the Irish traditional feel to the music. From our first contact with Patrick, any requests for music we had were accommodated without an issue, and he really helped to put us at ease. We could not recommend them enough, and just want to say thanks again for helping to make our day so special!

What can I say about Davey music they were just amazing!! We got married on the 22/10/21. From firstly contacting Patrick to make a decision on what I would like to include the instruments and musicians. To then fully supporting me to have my sisters be apart of the music for the ceremony. It was lovely to meet up the week before the wedding to rehearse the songs with my sisters and the musicians. Just to keep Patrick on his toes I then decided the night before the wedding I would sing the reflection with my sisters…this wasn’t rehearsed!! My husband had no idea I was for getting up to sing!! So our music was just out of this world. Patrick is a musical genesis and can pick up a new piece of music in seconds. Clare Galway and Ciara Taffe were amazing and the instrumentals left me in tears it was just perfect. Thank you so music Davey music I will definitely recommend you to any friends or family. The music from our video is beautiful and it’s great I can listen back to the songs.

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.

Patrick was incredibly helpful. He was super responsive, tailored the music to our preferences and with his experience and professionalism, made the whole experience very easy for us. The ceremony music was an incredibly important part of the day and we knew we were in great hands with Patrick and his fellow musicians who were first class. Many thanks again

Davey Music were fantastic on our wedding day. Patrick, Ciara and Emily played a wide range of beautiful music throughout our ceremony and drinks reception. All of our guests were blown away by their playing of some of our traditional Irish and classical favourites and the multi instrumental nature of the playing was such a great sight to see for everyone. They brought great energy and craic to the day despite having had to make a long journey down the country to Carlow. Patrick could not have been more helpful in accomodating our musical requests, even finding a local fiddle and viola player to play with and make the day that wee bit more special. The incorporation of some traditional songs from the locality in our drinks reception was another highlight. Patrick's organisation on and in advance of the day had a great calming effect and his flexibility and advice in song selection was impeccable. We would fully recommend booking Davey Music for your wedding. Thanks again to you all for making the day so personal and special. All the best for the future. Aoibhín & Ronan.

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!

Davey Music were absolutely spectacular at our wedding ceremony and reception. Every single guest commented to us on how special the music was and it really has played a big part in our memories of the day. Through out the planning, Patrick was brilliant! So understanding and accomodating, especially when having to move the wedding three times! I cannot recommend Davey music enough....if you are thinking about booking them...do it!

Wow wow wow! A big thank you to Davey music for providing amazing music at our wedding ceremony! Patrick was so accommodating through the numerous date changes we had due to Covid & we were delighted when they could still make our new wedding date! Our guests are still talking about the music that day! It was absolutely beautiful. More so than we imagined! A five star service! Any couples out there considering booking do it! Thank you again to you & your team!!

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

Davey Music were everything we could have hoped for! They played at both our ceremony and then at our arrival reception and they were fabulous. We have had lots of compliments on the choice of music and it really added to the relaxed atmosphere of the day. We postponed and changed dates several times and this was never a bother to Patrick, who was so understanding and moved with us each time! He was very quick to answer any questions and keep us in the loop. Would love to hear them play again!! Thanks so much for everything xo

I got in touch with Patrick after our wedding had been postponed for the 3rd time and our original musicians were no longer available. How lucky we were!!!! Patrick was so lovely from day one, his knowledge of wedding music is amazing and he sourced me all the musicians I wanted for our day. He was always great craic and so genuinely lovely to chat to! Nothing was too much hassle! Especially when I asked him last minute if he could put together evening entertainment also as out ceile had to be cancelled also. In the end Patrick and various exceptionally talented friends of his played our at our ceremony, reception drinks and evening reception and from start to finish it was amazing! They completely captured the tone of the day and certainly got the crowd going in the evening, I never sat down! It was meant to be that Patrick co-ordinated our whole wedding day and we are so glad he did! An absolute gentleman and such talent!!!!

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

From the second we contacted Patrick to the minute he finished he was an absolute Gentleman. He made everything seem effortless and fun but also had a very professional attitude with a stress free outlook to the entire day. You tell him what you want and he hand picks the best musicians and singers in the country to suit your style. Patrick and his amazing team he put together made our day what it was supposed to be. Thee best day of our lives. My wife happened to have a wedding dress moment lol I asked Patrick to keep playing a while to entertain the guests and of course he did!!! One of the members actually had something on that evening and said I really should be going but I’ll do this for you and your day is much more important. Lost for words on how to praise them all. He was there early and left late and apart from hearing the amazing music you wouldn’t even know they were there.

Such beautiful music and a dream to work with!! Thanks to Patrick and the gang for making our wedding so special!

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!

We could not fault patrick and his musicians on their quality of music and also his service! We had so much fun choosing our music with Patrick, we could have talked to him for hours. After our meeting, we didn’t have a thing to worry about with regard to the music in the lead up to our wedding During the service, the music added so much. Everyone was talking about how beautiful it was, we completely loved it. Thank you so much!

Patrick and his team were excellent throughout- only wish we got to listen more as we were still bound by some restrictions. Kept in touch with us right up to wedding and communicated well. Standard and variety of music great. Well organised on the day Patrick is a pro.

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

Where to begin.. I can't do justice as to how beautiful and amazing Patricks music is along with his fellow musician Gráinne! I'm so glad I chose Patrick to play at our wedding, every time I watch back over our ceremony, I get goosebumps because it truly added that emotional element to the day! Patrick is fantastic and grasped very quickly as to what type of music I wanted without knowing myself. All our guests loved the music and I would highly recommend to anyone getting married! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Patrick! Jenny & Steven

We are so glad we booked Patrick and his musicians for our wedding. We had chosen some very particular contemporary pieces for our ceremony and rather than being put 0ff by the requests he relished the challenge and pulled out all the stops to make it happen. Could not have been happier with the day and all our guests complimented the music on the day. If you want one less thing to worry about on your big day just let Patrick and his team look after everything. Thanks again Paddy. All the best. Ronan and Jennie

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

Partick was a true gentleman from planning and choosing the music for our wedding. As I walked to ceremony it was beautiful to hear the music played by Patrick and the girls. Followed by drinks reception music so special. Could not recommend Davey music enough. Thank you and look forward to seeing you again.

Very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble when getting ready for our wedding. The ceremony music with Clare was beautiful and was exactly how we wanted it to be. Patrick also did our evening entertainment with Gerry which created a great atmosphere and everyone really enjoyed this. Lots of comments on the music and how good it was. All very talented musicians and singers. Fantastic!

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

We had Patrick, Bronagh and Nadia play for our wedding ceremony and reception, and couldn't have been happier with how well it went! All the musicians are incredibly talented and Patrick was a pleasure to deal with during the planning process- being flexible and patient with us when were unsure exactly whether the wedding would even be able to go ahead up until a few weeks before the date. The ceremony music was a dream, a beautiful combination of liturgical and traditional irish, and it added something a little different to the ceremony which our guests really appreciated. At the reception the tempo was cranked up and it set the perfect tone to the day. We had so many positive comments from our guests about the music and would highly recommend Davey music to anyone looking for their wedding musicians! Thank you Patrick and team for a wonderful day!

Such an easy and enjoyable experience dealing with Patrick and the band. We asked Patrick to play at our reception in the evening and play a wide range of modern songs and traditional Irish music and their experience as a band shone through and they read the mood of the room perfectly. Throughout the evening we had plenty of guests coming up to us complementing us on finding Patrick and his band!

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.

Davey Music provided a perfect accompaniment to our wedding ceremony and our parish priest said it was one of the nicest he had heard! We were very lucky to have Claire and Emma join Patrick on the day. They sang so beautifully and their harmony in the Deer’s Cry was stunning. Our call with Patrick before the wedding was very helpful for finalising our selections and confirming the running order. Patrick even hand delivered a CD of his music to play at our drinks reception when we found out at short notice that we couldn’t have live musicians! Thanks for everything.

Patrick was amazing from start to finish. Having to move our dates three times due to Covid was never an issue and Patrick was extremely accommodating. Having taught me tin whistle years ago, I knew there was no better Irish Traditional musician to play at our wedding. The musicians that accompanied Patrick were also amazing and Clare's voice was out of this world. Everyone commented on the beautiful music at the ceremony and the drinks reception. Thank you for adding that special touch to our day. Wouldn't recommend anyone else if you are looking for talented musicans who deliver nothing but beautiful music for your wedding day. Top class.

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!

The music at our service was phenomenal and one of the best parts of our day, Patrick and his expertise made the process so straightforward and enjoyable. The service was excellent and all of our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was! We can’t thank Davey Music enough and recommend 100%!

Patrick played at our wedding service on June 19th, he was very professional,punctual and himself and the ladies the accompanied him played absolutely beautifully, I could not fault them at all from start to finish they were fantastic.

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

The music exceeded all our expectations! It was absolutely perfect. Such a talented trio and all of our guests absolutely loved it.

Excellent music provided by Patrick and his fellow musicians. Very professional and easy to work with. If you are looking for fantastic music and an equally fantastic service, look no further!

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.

Thank you so much for providing the music for our wedding day! Patrick was so accommodating considering the ever changing covid restrictions! Both ceremony and reception music was brilliant and really set an upbeat mood!! Would highly recommend!

Davey music provided the wonderful music for our ceremony and drinks reception at our wedding in December. From the moment we booked Patrick , his efficiency in replying to emails was fantastic which added reassurance to an already crazy year! We have always loved traditional Irish music and myself and my husband were keen just to have music with no singing so we searched for musicians and thankfully with the fantastic reviews from weddings online they helped us find the amazing Davey music! Due to the restrictions that 2020 brought we were unable to meet Patrick in person beforehand but that did not stop him from helping us organise and pick our ceremony music, and his experience definitely shone through here! Our guests really enjoyed the drinks reception music and it helped to add a lively atmosphere for the evening ahead. We cannot thank Davey music enough for travelling to attend our wedding it was a joy to have you all there, the future wedding couples will be lucky to have you!! Tina & James xxx

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.

We were absolutely delighted with davey music. The music was beautiful and ideal for a cermon with an intimate feel. They have that beautiful soft traditional Irish feel to their music. We would definitely recommend davey music and can't wait to have them back next year for our post covid wedding reception.

Thank you so so much to the fabulous Patrick, Bronagh and Aoife. The music at both the church and drinks reception was perfect and set the tone for the rest of the day! You helped to make our day so special, we cannot thank you enough! We would 100% recommend Patrick and his musicians to anyone! During what has been a challenging and stressful time, Patrick made us feel so calm with his bubbly and friendly personality, we knew we were in great hands from the moment we enquired about our wedding! The wedding is now 8 weeks ago and not a day has gone by that my Nanny hasn’t talked about the ‘wonderful’ music at the wedding. We have nothing but praise for you all, thank you so much again xx

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 would definitely recommend Davey Music. We had them play for our drinks reception and it was the perfect sound. Patrick was very helpful- he got a slightly panicked phone call from me one week before the wedding when our original band had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. He was very calm, helpful and in a very short space of time we were sorted! Thanks a mil guys ????

I just can't put into words how grateful I am to Patrick and his team for not only providing the best music both in the Church and at the venue but also for Patrick's interaction and service which went way beyond the call of duty. Patrick worked with us from the moment I made my first enquiry and was there every step of the long journey due to Covid and postponed wedding plans that ensued. A number of alternate dates were thrown at Patrick at very short notice and he obliged every time and ultimately put together a team of first class musicians who played at the Church and then availed themselves at the Pre-drinks Reception and even came back later on in the evening to play at the Evening Reception. Patrick met with me at his own time and went through the music and then asked to visit the Church so he could view the new post-Covid layout of the Church and arrange where his musicians could be accommodated etc. Service like this is a rarity! I would like to thank Patrick for all his efforts and also for the the very reasonable charge for literally providing a whole day of music, going back and forth from one venue to another. It is quite obvious that Patrick loves what he does and his charges do not reflect the time and effort he spends on delivering a first class service! Thank you Patrick - forever indebted to you!

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.

Davey music provided the most professional, talented and beautiful music for our wedding ceremony and reception drinks! They were the talk of the day amongst our guests. We cannot recommend Patrick and his musicians enough to perform on such a special day. I know we hope to cross paths again in the future. Thank you so much for joining us on our wedding day.

Would highly recommend Davey Music for your big day. Very friendly and supportive in helping us decide what would suit our day best. Patrick talked us through the wide variety of instruments and/or vocals we could choose from and we decided on having them play during the ceremony and our drinks reception. Davey Music created exactly the type of atmosphere we were after. We had so many guests comment on how much they liked the music. We were planning our wedding from England and Patrick made it very easy to organise the music. We only had to give him a sense of the atmosphere we wanted to create and he provided lots of choices. We had such a special day and Davey Music played a big part in that.

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.

Davey music provided the drinks reception music at our wedding in Gracehall last week. They were absolutely fantastic to have and were the perfect accompaniment to the setting. They are friendly, genuine and professional and we were delighted they were able to join us in celebrating our special day.

We could not have asked for a more charismatic, unique and personable band as we had in these 3!! They genuinely surprised me in how gifted they were from their voices to their instrumental talent. They brought life and soul to the party and we are so thankful for that!! Thank you guys for being part of our day!! Xx

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!

When we came to book our wedding, we knew that music was our top priority after booking our venue. For both of us, music is an everyday part of our lives and we knew we wanted a group who would provide us with a truly memorable experience! Booking Davey Traditional Group for our ceremony and drinks reception was one of the easiest decisions we made - they are top quality musicians, unbelievably warm and friendly to work with, and helped to make our day the best of our lives! We had the stunning ensemble of fiddle, harp, pipes and flute - it was everything we could have asked for and more; Patrick is an absolute gent - he helped us choose which music we wanted and gave us brilliant ideas and advice! Our guests couldn't stop raving about them - they were unreal! Anyone who is thinking of booking them, do it without hesitation! You'll have no regrets - they're out of this world!

From the very start, Patrick was a pleasure to work with. He responded to emails so quickly and everything was so easy and straight forward. On the day itself Patrick, Mairead and Eilis were so professional. They setup in our drinks reception and played away to our guests delighted. Everybody was raving about how amazing they were. We would highly recommend Patrick and his amazing team of musicians. They are a class act and won't let you or your guests down. Get booking now. Thanks so much Rory and Eugene Kavanagh Beirne

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 would 100% recommend Davey music!! Patrick made it so easy for us in the planning of our ceremony music. The music was just beautiful and added something special to our ceremony. They even went to the effort of learning a song for us to add that extra personal touch. Fab!!!

From the moment we booked Patrick Davey and his team for our wedding they were fantastic. Patrick is incredibly friendly, yet professional in everything that he does. Davey music provided music for our wedding Mass, and many of our guests have told us just how much their talent added to our ceremony, making it so special. They also played the music at our pre-reception and created a warm, friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Patrick was particularly helpful in helping us pick music for our Mass that reflected us as a couple. We cannot recommend them highly enough! If you are looking for someone to provide music for your wedding ceremony and pre-reception, look no further!

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!

I've known Patrick for many years and long before even before getting engaged I knew I would ask him to provide the soundtrack for my wedding day. When the big day rolled around I was completely blown away by the perfect music from Patrick and his team and there was not a dry in the church as the music was so moving. Everybody is still talking about our music 1 month after the wedding. Thank you so much Patrick for all of your help and advice and of course for playing beautifully on the day xxxx

Patrick and the girls were amazing. From the start of messaging about booking to the whole day. I was overwhelmed and so were my guest. The ceremony music was beautiful brought a tear to everyones eye in a good way. They even learnt and ed sheeran song for us to play while we were signing. Was great. The drinks reception music was great ( although we were late coming back and never got to hear much of it which was sad) our guest said it was brillant. So sad that its all over and wish i could be booking yous all over again. A big thank yous all from Mr. & Mrs. Scott x

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

From initial meeting and planning, Patrick was attentive, supportive and enthusiastic. He took time to explain options, demonstrated the musical instruments to be used and played music samples. He helped us make our programme choices and the end result was just brilliant, the Davey Wedding Music experience; Patrick, Lucy and Catherine made our marriage ceremony, our reception and our day extra special. We received so many positive comments from all our guests, in fact some of our guests were from overseas and were just thrilled by the blend of traditional and classical music, it exceeded all our expectations. We cannot thank Davey music enough and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone, they are in a class of their own! Thank you Patrick, Lucy and Catherine for making our day so truly special and memorable!

We had the pleasure of having Davey Music perform for both our wedding ceremony and for our drinks reception afterwards. They were amazing on the day and we had multiple wedding guests comment on how excellent the music was throughout. When putting together a list of music for the ceremony, Patrick was incredibly helpful from start to finish. Very happy to make suggestions and offer advice based on his fantastic musical knowledge but also completely accommodating with any requests we had. Their professionalism was a great help to us in managing the inevitable stress of the day also. They were the first to arrive at the church and made it over to the venue immediately after so that our guests were greeted with pipes, harp, and flute. Zero hesitation whatsoever in fully recommending them to anyone considering them for their wedding day.

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.

My husband and I traveled to Ireland for a destination wedding. When we first reached out to Davey Music, they responded right away and were extremely communicative in the days leading up to the event. Not only were they responsive but they extremely friendly and very helpful in figuring out which songs would fit different parts of the ceremony best. They went above and beyond to include extra instruments for us and blended in perfectly to the beautiful background of our ceremony and reception. We are beyond grateful to them for being a part of our day and making it so special and unique for us.

Where do I even begin with how incredible Davey Music are. When people ask us what was the highlight of our wedding day, the first thing we both say is the incredible atmosphere and romance of our church. This was all down to the incredible music that Davey music provided us with. It was everything we dreamed it would be and more. Every guest is still commenting on the amazing ambience the music created both in the ceremony and the drinks reception. I wish we could have been guests at our own wedding to hear the full set!! We could not recommend them enough, if you are in any doubt about booking your wedding music - DO IT NOW!!! They really are the best. We cannot thank you all enough. We can’t wait for our wedding video just so we can hear the music again!! Absolutely a pleasure from start to finish. Lots of love from Mr and Mrs Given

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!

There are not enough words to express how amazing Davey wedding music are. They played at both our ceremony and drinks reception. They were incredible and everyone commented on the beautiful music and singing. I cannot thank Paddy enough. He is the most generous, caring and obviously charming man. From the moment we had our consultation with him, we knew we had nothing to worry about. He was professional, listened to what we wanted and on the day surpassed our expectations. Thanks for everything! Aisling & Michael or should I say Mr & Mrs Bailey Xxx

We loved having Davey Music at our wedding. Patrick was incredibly helpful throughout the whole planning process, he offered song choices and gave us ideas when I hadn’t a clue what I wanted. We had a great day weather wise and the group were able to play outside on the patio. We had nothing but glowing reviews and positive comments from our guests who loved them as much as we did. I cannot recommend Davey Music highly enough. They were amazing and I wish we could do it all over again!

Amazing performers

Patrick was ever the friendly professional he is. During our consultation he helped us pick pur wedding music, using his experience to help guide us to what would suit best. Equally, he listened to what we wanted and was able go provide exactly what we had in mind. Patrick is extremely talented and easy to work with! Everyone has commented on both the music of the ceremony and at the reception. The musicians provided a selection of music to help create a happy and joyful atmosphere at our drinks reception and we couldn't be happier with the music on the day! Thanks Patrick! Xx

Patrick and his musicians are incredibly talented. The music played while guests arrived at the hotel and. It added to the atmosphere on the day. I would highly recommend this as part of your day.

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 Brendan & Orlagh Mulholland Married 21/06/2019

We booked a trio at both our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. From the moment I first emailed Patrick my mind was quickly made up due to his fast response and professionalism. I am not a musical person as to know what song choices I wanted but was put at ease by seeing and watching the videos online, they were incredible. Our guests thought the music was fantastic on the day. I cannot thank them all enough. I would recommend Patrick and his business to any couple that is planning their wedding. Many Thanks Patrick & team. Samantha & Michael x

Delighted to give a 5 star review for Davey Music. They were so helpful, professional and talented. Truly emotional moment of the day! And couldn't do enough to make our music special! Thank you so much!

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!

Davey wedding music played my chapel music which was absolutely beautiful so perfect everything Song was amazing, Patrick was so helpful helping me choice the music and sorting it all out. I cannot thank them enough they really made my day. Thank you so much

We cannot recommend Patrick and his team highly enough - we had a fabulous day at our wedding and his music made it one to remember for everyone. He was so friendly and professional and no requests were too much for him to deal with. I think he enjoyed playing alongside the Scottish piper as well! Thank you so much!!

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.

Patrick and myself both work in the wedding industry and have worked along side each other many times. I’ve always found Patrick to be extremely professional, friendly and provide really beautiful music. He’s extremely talented! I would recommend Davey Music to every bride looking for traditional Irish music!

Words simply cannot describe how grateful we are to Davey Music. From start to finish, Patrick made organising the music for our wedding so easy and stress free. Nothing was too much for him. His professionalism and flexibity is outstanding and he was very accommodating to all our requests. He definately put our minds at ease and made the choosing of music for our day a really enjoyable experience rather than a stressful one. Due to their extensive range of services we were able to have the pleasure of Patrick, Maireád and Emer for our Ceremony and Reception, who were joined by the fabulous Kathy and Diarmuid for the evening Ceili which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We had so many compliments for the phenomenal music throughout the entire day and the ceremony music was beautiful, setting the tone perfectly. We would most definately recommend Davey music for your wedding. Thank you Patrick, Maireád, Emer, Kathy and Diarmuid for making our day the amazing day that it was xxx

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.

Davey music played during our ceremony and drinks reception. The music was fantastic and we had many positive comments about it from our guests. The quality of the music and the professionalism was excellent. They were able to accommodate all of our requests. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Hi Patrick, Emer and Mairead. We just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding. Both for the mass and the drinks reception at Drenagh. The music was phenomenal. Particularly during the mass people seemed captivated by it; she moved through the fair was a highlight for us. We had so many compliments on the music throughout the day. We thought it helped set the tone for our wedding brilliantly and created a really good vibe. We would definitely recommend booking Davey Music for your wedding!

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

Patrick was so helpful when it came to wedding ceremony music. We went to him with an open mind and came away satisfied with what we needed to do. We picked what we personally wanted played at the ceremony along with some suggestions from Patrick and although one of our songs was new to him, he was happy to listen and learn how to play this for us. On the day, we couldn’t have asked for a better musician to provide the music at the chapel, along with Catherine on the fiddle and Paul on the guitar- (and a few vocals at the drinks reception) they made our St Patrick’s weekend wedding that extra wee bit irish! And everyone commented on their music! We couldn’t recommend Patrick Davey enough! Both my brother in law and sister in law used Patrick at their weddings and we will continue the recommendation. Thank you so so much! Nuala and Kevin Fitzpatrick xo

I was delighted to book Davey Music for my own wedding after hearing them at some others! Absolutely fantastic musicians and really helpful from the get go! They added so much to the service and can’t thank them enough !!

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!

Lovely traditional Irish music - lively, appropriate and well-played. Professional and personable musicians.

Such a pleasure working with Davey Music from start to finish. They were very professional and accommodating. We used them for both the service and drinks reception. I would highly recommend them to any couple for their big day.

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

The music at our wedding was absolutely gorgeous - it’s exactly what I wanted! Many of my guests asked who they were so they could recommend them to others. Even when organising the music in advance (we didn’t have too many ideas!), Patrick was able to guide us through the wedding ceremony & advise us on what he thought would sound nice in the church. As it was a Christmas wedding l, he was able to get in a few Christmas tunes! Any changes I wanted to make closer to the day of the ceremony, Patrick was responsive and attentive. I could recommend these guys to anyone!!

We had Davey music at our wedding on 17.11.18 and all of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony music was. The musicians also played at our drinks reception and there was lots of foot tapping!! I would highly recommend! Thank you so much

very professional service ...music was amazing.

Davey music were brilliant from start to finish and even stayed on and played a bit extra. All our guests commented how lovely the music was and how amazing Roisin's voice was, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, they definitely added something special to both the service and the reception!

5 stars aren’t enough for Patrick and his team at Davey Music. From the moment we made our initial enquiry last October Patrick was extremely engaging and helpful. His, Bronagh and Anna’s talent were there for all to see and they put together an amazing suite for our ceremony and drinks reception, learning some specially chosen movie tunes to supplement their vast and versatile repertoire. Patrick was extremely flexible throughout and handled some last minute changes with the utmost professionalism. His humour and kind nature during our final planning added to our enjoyment of the build up and it was a pleasure to have Bronagh, Anna and himself included in our day. Our guests were equally impressed (with one tune standing out particularly!) and we could not recommend Parick more. We look forward to hopefully seeing him and his musicians again at future friends and family weddings!

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.

I cannot speak highly enough of Patrick Davey music. He played alongside the beautiful Mairéad Forde and Ellís Lavelle at both our wedding ceremoney and also our drinks reception. From the minute we booked Patrick was extremly helpful and always at hand to answer any of our questions. He listened and understood what music and atmosphere we wanted and worked with us at all times. Aside from the fantastic professional service we recieved from this group, they are extremly talented musicians who played absolutely beautifully throughout our day! We got fantastic feedback from our family and friends after the wedding! So glad we booked and can't recommend highly enough!!

I would not hesitate to recommend Patrick and his group of musicians. The music played during our ceremony was absolutely beautiful - so much so that cried (waterproof mascara is a must!). I opted for harp and flute and so many of our guests commented on how lovely it was!

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

Thanks to Paddy Davey music for a brilliant performance at our wedding mass and reception. The music was a lovely backdrop to the drinks reception as our guests arrived to the hotel and we would highly recommend their professional services led by Patrick himself who made the organisation of everything so easy.

We would like to say a big thank you for making our wedding day very special! We wanted to have something a little different for church music - and you did not disappoint! You were outstanding and everyone complimented on how brilliant you all were! You were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and very professional! We have recommended you to all of our family & friends and good to see you all ar a wedding again soon!

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 !!

When choosing wedding music we looked no further than Davey Music and can honestly say if we could do it again that wouldn't change. We initially met with Patrick to choose our ceremony music, he was extremely helpful and knew exactly which music suited each part of the mass. Davey Music travelled from Belfast to Donegal without hesitation and for that we are so grateful. Patrick, Eilis and Mairead played beautifully throughout the ceremony and our drinks reception. Our guests all really enjoyed the music throughout and commented on how talented and professional the musicians were. We especially loved "The Errigal March" which Patrick personally composed and played for us on our wedding day.

Davey music provided a fantastic service from start to finish. The quality of the musicians was brilliant and they offer a very wide range of music to choose from. Contact from Davey music was excellent. A must if you are looking for traditional Irish music! Would highly recommend!

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....

Having Davey music play such an integral part of our wedding day was an easy decision and one we were so happy with! Patrick was a pleasure to work with beforehand and took on board everything we were trying to accomplish on the day, using music to highlight and reflect elements of 'us'. For my wife and I, music plays such a massive part of our lives and it was incredibly important to both of us that it was both spectacular and memorable. And it so was! With me being from Scotland and my wife from NI, Patrick was able to suggest music which complimented both of us, 'marrying' the two together with clever arrangements. So many of our wedding guests complimented the beauty of the music in the service and found it to be one of the many highlights of the day. For the service we opted for harp, flute, tin whistle, fiddle, uilean pipes and bagpipes. It was so lovely to have traditional Irish and Scottish instruments performing, especially since they'd be instruments which some of our guests wouldnt typically have the opportunity to embrace and enjoy. In the evening we opted for a ceili provided by The Blackstaff Ceili Band - the dance floor was never empty! We'd highly recommend Davey music to couples in search of the perfect music to compliment their perfect day! Thank you. Xx

We had a trio of harp, fiddle and Patrick switching between flute and Uilleann Pipes depending on what was most appropriate for the music. The music was absoluely beautiful in the church and Patrick was very helpful with suggesting a mixture of appropriate liturgical and folk music for the mass with quick email responses. He was more than happy to learn new songs and we absolutely loved their version of 'stars' from les mis as i walked down the aisle! They also travelled to Ballymagarvey to play during our reception, everyone commented on how fantastic the music was, very talented musicians and can't thank them enough for the atmosphere they provided at our wedding!

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

I would highly recommend Davey music - they were very professional, friendly and helpful throughout the planning process. Patrick met with us a couple of times before the date including visiting the venue with us to check it over and was happy to accommodate our request to play outside. On the day, we were delighted with the music for the ceremony, drinks and meal - it added a really special touch.

Patrick, Mairead and Eilís played for our wedding yesterday at St Brigid's, Ballintra and Lough Eske Castle. They were fantastic - true professionals and such talented musicians. The music was perfect; our guests have all commented that it was a real highlight of the day. Patrick was excellent to work with from start to finish. Would highly recommend!

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

It's taken me so long to get around to writing this review, but I was waiting on my wedding video so I could relive the beautiful music. We had Davey Music at our wedding, and from the first time I contacted them to the very day they were a dream to work with. Their music was so beautiful all my guests commented on it. They made every effort to include any songs which were special to us and I couldn't imagine my ceremony any other way. Highly recommend!!!

I can't say enough to express my gratitude to Patrick and his colleagues for the wonderful music which was provided for my daughter's wedding. They set the mood for the whole day with the beautiful music during the ceremony. I know Patrick worked with Ciara to choose just the right material for this very special occasion and i was certainly moved to tears during Ciara's entrance. The guests were blown away at the drinks reception -We couldn't have asked for better entertainment for Ciara and Peter's special day. Thanks to Patrick, Mairéad and Eilis for being part of our wonderful day. I would highly recommend Davey Music to anyone planning their wedding day.

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 :)

We had Patrick and the girls play the trio of harp, fiddle and flute during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in December. The music they played during our ceremony was quite simply stunning! They even learned our favourite song to play aswell. The beauty their music added to our ceremony was irreplaceable, I can't imagine our day without that sound now. They also took some great snaps aswell! During the drinks reception they created an awesome fun atmosphere with upbeat reels. They were also great value for both parts of the wedding. I can't recommend Davey music enough. Thank you so much for helping to make our day perfect for us. Emma & Brian

Patrick was a pleasure to work with. Our wedding music was personal and memorable. Patrick and his beautiful musicians travelled in December in dangerous, icy conditions from Belfast to the Glens of Antrim and made the day for us. Couldn’t recommend him and his musicians enough!

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!

The atmosphere at our Wedding was perfectly set by Patrick Just fantastic from start to finish x

We could not have been happier with Davey Music. We are based in the United States, which made organizing our wedding in Fermanagh a little tricky. Davey Music was responsive and helpful, and on the day, the music couldn't have been better.

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

Thank you so much for your performance at the Chapel and Reception of our wedding. The music was beautiful and really made my celtic wedding. It brought a lot more meaning to the ceremony and really set the tone at the reception. My family and friends are still talking about the wonderful musicians and really enjoyed the reception. I couldn't have asked for better and I am recommending to everyone. Thanks a million!! Olivia & Brian

Back in January 2017 I had set about finding a group to play at our wedding, when I stumbled upon Davey Music on Facebook. I sent them an email and that's where it all began. From our very first correspondence Patrick couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. He has helped us by putting together the perfect groups to provide the soundtrack to our wedding day. Everyone I spoke to on the day commented on how well the band sounded and how absolutely perfect it fitted into our theme. My new wife and I really cannot recommend Davey Music enough for your wedding music needs. Thanks again to Patrick and co. for helping to make our day perfect. Mr+Mrs Whittaker

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

We booked Patrick to play the Uillean pipes at our wedding. From the outset he was easy to deal with. Good communication, easy going and very accommodating and the utmost professional on the day. Exceptionally talented. Comes highly recommended

Had the pleasure of Daveys Music playing at our wedding and it was AMAZING!! I wanted a Disney programme and that's exactly what I got, it really made the day sitting over the meal listening to all our favourites being a Disney fanatic family it was perfect! I couldn't recommend them enough, very friendly, professional and accommodating! Everyone commented on the music and it really made the day and will always be a favourite part of our special day! Thank you so much!

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

We had Davey Music at our wedding Ceremony & Drinks Reception and we were delighted with the music provided. Patrick was great in helping us choose the hymns for the ceremony and was so accommodating in how we wanted them played and the singing was beautiful. The drinks reception was lively and as we missed out on so much as we were away getting photographs we cannot wait to watch back in our video. Our guests enjoyed the traditional music sitting relaxing before their meal and we have had so many compliments from guests how good Davey Music were. Fantastic service, value for money and honestly couldn't meet nicer people. Thank you all so much for making our wedding day that little bit more special. Xx Mr & Mrs Corrigan/29th July 2017

From the outset, Patrick was extremely professional, responsive and helpful in the planning stages. We didn't really have much of a clue regarding song choices for either the ceremony itself, the drinks reception or for while we were having dinner, however Patrick was able to guide us through, suggesting what he thought might suit each stage. As it turned out Davey Music's contribution to our special day was incredible. The music and hymns they played and sang during the ceremony were beautiful. The drinks reception was lively and entertaining and during dinner it provided a lovely atmosphere. All our guests commented on how excellent they were and I really couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you for making our special day even more special.

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.

We hired Davey music for our wedding ceremony and were absolutely delighted with the service they provided. The music was just as we had imagined and really added to the lovely atmosphere in the church. Patrick was great to deal with and gave us a lot of help with organising the music. He responded to all our queries quickly, met with us before the ceremony to go through our music choices and liaised with our friend who sang a song for us at the wedding. The beautiful music provided by Davey music played a really important part in making our wedding service so special and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other people getting married.

We got married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony, Patrick played every song we asked for from romantic classics to current chart music. Any request was never too much. He was quick in responding to any queries I had and even sent me through a recorded practice to listen to before our big day. I have had several guests ask me for their details and it's only been 2 day! Thank you Patrick and the gang for making our ceremony so special!!! Emily and gareth xx

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 were absolutely delighted with our wedding music. Patrick was fantastic from the very beginning, helping us make sure we made the perfect song choices. The music by Patrick, Mairead & Emer was absolutely beautiful and we have had so many guests talking about how amazing they were. We can't recommend them highly enough and want to say a massive thank you for making our day perfect. X

We could not have been more delighted with Davey Music on our wedding day. We are both musicians and music lovers, so choosing the musicians for our ceremony and drinks reception was very important. We had a harp, fiddle and uilleann pipes. I am Irish and my husband is French so it was great to have Irish musicians for both my Irish family and the the visiting French family. Everyone at the wedding enjoyed the music, and especially during the ceremony when there were a few tears it was so beautiful. Patrick is very quick to respond to messages and he is very accommodating - at the last minute my friend was unable to play for the ceremony and it was no trouble at all to ask him to play the ceremony too. The group also learned a new piece of music for my entrance, again Patrick was very accommodating and it was no trouble to them. A big thank you to Patrick, Mairéad and Eilís for creating a beautiful musical ambience to our special day.

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.

Bhí an ceol ar fheabhas.

Very happy to give Davey Music 5 stars across the board. From first contact with Patrick (our contact within Davey music) we were very impressed with their professionalism, flexibility and attention to detail. Patrick gave us some tips and advice on several occasions and was very accommodating when we asked for songs not on their sample list. On the day, they arrived well before the ceremony started, and continued to play until all of the guests had left at the end. Personally I felt that having traditional Irish musicians added so much to the ceremony and really was head and shoulders above your standard keyboard player and singer. Top marks guys. Highly recommended!

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.

For our wedding we knew that we wanted some Classical & Traditional musical elements for our ceremony – Davey Musicians were a perfect fit. Patrick was so great to deal with, and worked with us in a professional, calm, relaxed and very flexible manner. We had Patrick on the flute, and his fellow musicians on harp and violin and it was perfect! I walked down the aisle to Gabriel’s Oboe, and it was just beautiful. I asked my brother if he would sing and play his guitar for one of the songs, and Patrick and the girls had no problem with learning Beyoncé’s ‘Halo’ a couple of days before the wedding! They arrived early to rehearse it with my brother and when they played, it was breath taking and so moving. Most of our guests commented on how beautiful the music was, and in particular that one piece – as one person said ‘it was so moving, you could hear a pin drop!’ So ‘thank you’ Patrick for making our ceremony so personal and special. If you are looking for great wedding musicians, I would whole-heartedly recommend Davey Music!

At Alex and Robert's wedding Patrick and his wonderful musicians played in Kilmood Church and at the drinks reception in the courtyard at TullVeery House.The music was beautiful and the musicians delightful. They added greatly to a wonderful day and I could not recommend them highly enough.

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.

Patrick could not do enough for us, first of all we had a meeting to discuss what music we wanted, he give us a demo of different Instruments with different songs. Over the following weeks we contacted each other through emails and phone calls to iron out what we wanted with one item we thought was a big deal but it turned out it was not to them,we had a song we would liked played but it was not known to Patrick, he said no problem get me the music I will learn it and play it for you and so he did beautifully. On the day of the wedding our celebrant altered the run of the mass slightly again they took it in their stride and just went with it, we also got them to play at our drinks reception for us with a trad feel to it to get the party started and it really worked we can not recommend Davey music enough and if you are lucky enough to have them play at your wedding you will definitely not be disappointed Thank you so much for helping to make our day Davey music Trea & Kevin

Patrick and his team played at our ceremony and drinks reception. They made our ceremony really special and played perfectly from start to finish. The planning was very smooth with great response via emails and a meeting with Patrick. Patrick and his team even learned a jig that was written in memory of my dad. It was really hard to find some good traditional music for our wedding. We made the best choice with Davey Music! Our guests loved it. You really made our day extra special and we cannot thank and recommend you enough. Fionnuala & Michael.

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

Top class musicians, friendly, professional and reliable, Davey Music are an excellent ensemble. They played beautiful traditional music at our marriage service, wedding meal and ceili. They created a wonderful atmosphere for our celebrations and made a big impression on us and our guests. Patrick helped us plan the music so that everything went smoothly. We were delighted that he and his fellow musicians took part in our wedding. They made our day extra special!

Patrick and the rest of the musicians were absolutely fantastic on the day. Music is such an important thing for us, and to have it played so beautifully, made our wedding day extra special. A pleasure to work with, extremely professional and also very calming to be around. Picking music beforehand was also extremely easy. Patrick had everything organised, lots of experience to offer with arrangement and choice, which made everything so much easier. Highly recommended, a true gentleman and a pleasure to have him be part of our day

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.

The music was very apt and played beautifully. Many of our guests commented on the quality of the music and the excellent musicianship.

As a musician myself, who plays at a lot of weddings, I like to think that I have some experience with how the band can influence proceedings. In the right hands, the band rounds off the perfect day, bringing together the whole wedding party. In the wrong hands it can be a disaster! Patrick and his team gave us a night we will remember for ever, for all the right reasons! The quality of the music was superb, Patrick's attention to detail and professionalism were top notch and they were fantastic value for money. One of my biggest bugbears of playing at weddings is bridal couples who want to plan every element of the bands set. A good band will have the experience to judge the audience and Patrick's team did a fantastic job on this. I asked for a family Ceilidh that would cater for ages 4-94. They got this spot on. The band had the whole wedding party dancing all night and the highlight for me was how they brought the whole evening, and the entire wedding party, together. I would whole heartedly recommended Davey Music to anybody. Paul

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.

We were married in July 2015 in Castle Leslie. I knew exactly what type of music I wanted at my wedding, very Irish traditional, & Davey Music certainly delivered. Having heard a few pieces from their website I contacted Patrick who was extremely helpful & accommodating. He even recommended certain songs & was able to perform anything I had suggested...a real personal touch. Can I also recommend Davey Musics male singer Eamon. Oh my word he blew everyone away. He was amazing!!! He sang in Irish & it was just so beautiful. We had the violin, tin whistle, the harp, & the pipes...the music in the chapel was breath taking...our priest, Father Brown, said it was the best he had heard for a long long time! Davey Music also played at our drinks reception in Castle Leslie. The atmosphere was fantastic, & they really got everyone in the mood, plus it was very fitting to our surroundings. I really cannot praise Davey Music enough, they were absolutely fantastic, & I've still remained friends with Patrick...which in my opinion says a lot. If you're after elegant, professional, breath taking, 'hair stand up' , Irish traditional music, then Davey Music is without a doubt the best in the business.

Davey Music were a fantastic addition to our special day. Patrick arranged everything swiftly and professionally. The music in the chapel and afterwards at our drinks reception was spectacular! I would thoroughly recommend them :)

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

The service that Davey music provided for our wedding was exceptional. Patrick has an extensive knowledge of music and was able to provide us with advice and options, when we were choosing the music for our service. The Daveys are so friendly and they made the musical aspect of our ceremony completely stress free. The music on the day of our wedding was so beautifully performed that many of our guests commented on how moving they found it. As I was walking down the aisle, I remember listening to the pipes and thinking how emotionally fitting it all was. Music is such an important element of creating the right atmosphere in a wedding mass and the Davey music team really delivered more than what we could have hoped for. It was absolutely perfect.

We were absolutely delighted with Davey music from start to finish. The music was absolutely stunning and a lot of our guests commented on it. Throughout the whole process they were extremely professional and very helpful coming up with different ideas of what we could do but also very considerate of our wishes. 5* service

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.

With a half Irish and half Australian wedding party we wanted traditional Irish music for our ceremony and drinks reception. From first meeting with Patrick he completely understood our wishes and helped recommend music to suit our day perfectly, from that which was appropriate for the chapel to getting the party started with some upbeat reels later in the day! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music and commented on it long after the wedding. Thank you for bringing our vision to life!

When Patrick plays at your wedding time slows down and allows you to relax and still your thoughts. His music is breath taking and he has so much experience. I left all the music choices up to him and his choices were perfect. Even my husband who was a bag of nerves calmed down and just listened to the music. I still get goosebumps reminiscing about how he made the church service so magical.

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.
