Davey Music

Couldn’t be happier with the music provided for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. Highly recommended!

Patrick was incredibly helpful, professional and friendly, accommodating other musicians during our ceremony with Clare joining in with a friend of ours for a tune during the signing of the register.

Incredible musicians, everyone at our ceremony had only great things to say about them. We loved their rendition of Tabhair Dom Do Lámh for the entrance procession.

Thanks again Patrick & team.

Myself and my husband just wanted to thank Patrick and team for making our wedding day so special. The music was incredible and exactly what we had wanted. For us it really made the wedding and all the guests were full of compliments.
Thank you again, Mary-Kate & Anthony x

Patrick and his team were fantastic, we had them booked a year in advance for our wedding and they were a joy to work with, in all the madness of the day they had set up and played fantastically for us including some personal requests for Lord of the Rings music. They were perfect start to finish and the guests thoroughly enjoyed the band from the ceremony to the drinks reception.
Patrick was very friendly and easy to work with and he was super accommodating to all the requests we had for the day. Would recommend anyone looking for a traditional Irish band to give them a message, they won't disappoint.

We knew we wanted Irish traditional music as part of our ceremony in Armagh cathedral and at our drinks reception in Old Rectory, killyman so after doing some research we stumbled across Davey music and booked them after watching some of their videos online. Patrick is amazing to work with, he’s super chilled, professional and talented! A lot of our guests were English and they loved the Irish traditional music. Davey music brought an amazing atmosphere to our wedding. My only regret is not having them play during the dinner too!

Patrick and his fabulous musicians were perfect.
They played beautifully, had an enormous repertoire and really set the mood for our ceremony and drinks reception.
We would recommend them to anyone!

Patrick and the musicians were excellent. Firstly, communication was brilliant and there was no issue in selecting any pieces of music to be played on the day. The selection of instruments was super, we had Patrick for our wedding mass and the reception drinks. The music made the mass so special for us and all the guests commented on it. They got the party started in the hotel at the drinks reception and even let me join in a for a tune or two, if you are a musical person yourself, I would highly recommend as they are such a welcoming group of musicians. 10/10 in all areas of the service, highly recommend to future couples on their wedding day. Thank you Patrick, Cara and Paudie.

Patrick Davey Music made our wedding so much more special! From the first email to the church music and reception we received a 5* service. The music was elegant and romantic! We couldn’t recommend Patrick Davey Music more!!

Fabulous night made even better with a céilí!

The band had so much energy and the caller got everyone involved!

Highly recommend Patrick and his band for any event not just weddings!!

100% satisfied with my entire experience from start to finish. Both the ceremony and reception music exceeded my expectation. Patrick was personable, patient and flexible throughout the whole process. Giving 5 stars to the whole team (Patrick, Claire and Nadia) without a doubt.

John and I had Patrick Davy music for our ceremony and drinks reception on the 23rd of may 24 , they where amazing from start to finish and where even able to play a piece that was wrote by a family member of one of the guests ! Everyone raved about how good they where after and my self and John couldn't recommend Patrick and Co enough ! Amazing !

Thanks to Patrick and musicians from Davey Music who played our ceremony and pre-reception music for our wedding. Such a talented group which created a wonderful atmosphere for our day. Thanks again we really appreciated it. Niamh and John x

Couldn’t recommend highly enough. This company - main contact was Patrick - is so talented, professional, friendly, accommodating and really easy to work with. We had Patrick on flute and Niamh on the harp. The music was fabulous and everyone loved it! The music added so much to our special day. Atmosphere was great!Thank you so much! We wish we had another event soon to have you back again! Will def use again and will tell others to book!

Patrick played at our wedding and drinks reception on April 6th 2024. He was also accompanied by Eimear Coughlan and Denise Glass, all outstanding musicians!
To say that Patrick and co. enhanced the ceremony would be an understatement. The music was simply beautiful from start to finish and gave the entire day a very celtic and mystical feeling.
Patrick was incredibly professional to deal with and knows his music. We are delighted we chose Davey Music for our wedding day.

Davey Music played at our wedding at the Drenagh Estate for our ceremony and reception drinks. Their music was utterly beautiful. We couldn't have asked for more. We spoke with Patrick before about our preferences in music, but to be honest we didn't have to be too specific as their playlists were lovely anyway. Couldn't recommend them enough! Also very professional

I would give more stars if I could! They are true professionals. Everything was perfect, from the booking to payment to the day of. I highly recommend booking them for your wedding. Million thanks! Brigit & Bill

What a fantastic day for our daughter Claire's wedding. The music was brilliant especially The Lonesome Boatman on the pipes. All the Americans & Australians really loved the music. Thank you so much for a brilliant day. Patricia Ross

We cannot recommend more! So professional, quick to respond when booking and when I had any questions. Talked through ceremony before offering advice and helped me pick the perfect ceremony music. And that was all before the day. On the day itself, the music was outstanding. Such talented people - both the music and the vocals. The ceremony set the tone for what really was a brilliant day. Everyone commented on how fab the music was. Then moving on to the drinks reception where an excellent performance was provided. The music was just beautiful and worked so so well. If you are considering booking - do it!! You won't get better. Professional and fantastic musicians.

Patrick has been incredible since I first emailed him last year! He was so accommodating to my requests. It gave me goosebumps to walk into the church hearing such beautiful music. We had music and vocals through the service and then music at our drinks reception. All of the guests commented on how wonderful it was and Tom and I had been looking forward to it so much. Worth every penny. Thank you to Patrick and the girls for making our day unreal!!

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

Patrick was amazing from start to finish. The communication from booking to the big day was the best we experienced. Davey music specially learned a song for us which meant so much and all musicians were absolutely amazing. Whilst there was a little hiccup, Patrick sorted everything before letting us know which didn't impact our day at all. Thank you for the incredible service, everyone commented how perfect the music was and we are so glad we chose you.

Patrick and his team were fabulous! We had great communication and he really helped us to select the music for our ceremony. He also did our reception music, and our only regret is that we didn't get to hear more of it as we were out taking photos!! They were wonderful and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for music. Everyone was in awe of how beautiful they sounded

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

From the very start we found Patrick Davey to be so friendly, helpful and professional. He quickly answered any questions we had and he was happy to accommodate the versions of the songs we wanted. He teamed up with two other great musicians Wilson and Brian to provide stunning music on our day, both for the ceremony and for the drinks reception. We were delighted with how they sounded and our guests really enjoyed them as well. They were also really lovely to chat to on the day. Would highly recommend!

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

Excellent Ceilidh band who are all extremely friendly and enthusiastic. Made the night an amazing experience for everyone. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

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

Patrick was amazing to deal with - so helpful and friendly and made the whole process so easy! The music was beautiful, people are still commenting on how lovely it was a few weeks later ???? thank you so much for everything and making our day so special x

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

Patrick was absolutely amazing to have play the Irish flute for our wedding ceremony! He is so friendly and welcoming, and is such a talented musician. We got married at Dunluce Castle and his music made the whole day seem magical! 5 stars across the board!

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

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

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

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

What a privilege to have Davey Music provide such gorgeous music for our whole wedding day. Patrick Clare and Mary provided the beautiful ceremony and reception music and then Patrick and Gerry livened things up in the evening and led a great sing song. Thank you all so much for being such a big part of the celebration.

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

We are so delighted to have had Patrick, Clare and Wilson from Davey Music play at our wedding ceremony in St Brigid's Church, Oldcastle! The music throughout the mass was absolutely beautiful, it was exactly what we hoped it would be! Patrick is excellent to communicate with, he's so nice and he was so happy to collaborate with us to make sure everything was suited to our tastes. The music felt traditional in a timeless and elegant way. Our only regret is that we didn't get a chance to take one of Patrick's infamous wedding couple selfies LOL!! Thanks Patrick and Co.! Love, Maria & Emmett xxx

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

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

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

I cannot recommend Davey music enough. Before our big day we FaceTimed Patrick & he helped us with all the little details during our service music. On the day the guys arrived early to set up and played beautifully while our guests arrived. During the service the music was perfect (playing a mixture of instrumental and singing) we couldn't have been any happier. After the service the guys set up at our drinks reception and played a traditional Irish set. Again they were first class and went down a storm with our guests. The guys were extremely friendly and interacted with our guests brilliantly. Once again I can't thank you enough for helping to make our day special.

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

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.

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.

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 !

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 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!

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 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.

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

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

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.

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!

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 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!

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 & Gr?inne who played on the day, you?re all incredibly talented musicians!!

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.

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'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

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 N? 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.

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

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!

The music provided by Patrick Davey and Eil's 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

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!

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

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!

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

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.

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!

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 Gr?inne! 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

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.

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!

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.

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%!

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.

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!

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.

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 ????

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.

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 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 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!!!

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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 bodhr?n 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 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!

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.

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

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.

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!!

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!

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 fianc? 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 fianc? 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 Mair?ad Forde and Ell's 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!!

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.

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.

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

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 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!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

Bh? an ceol ar fheabhas.

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 Beyonc?'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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
