Fiona, Just want to say a massive thank you for singing at mine and Donie's wedding. You're singing was beautiful and it's only now when I'm looking at videos our guests took on the day that I can fully appreciate the amazing performance you gave. We got loads of compliments afterwards how beautiful the ceremony and music was. I would highly recommend you to anyone who was looking for a singer for their wedding. Thanks again for everything! Warm regards, Edel & Donie

Fiona sang at our church wedding ceremony and, from the start, she was a dream to deal with. Having heard her sing at a wedding fair in advance of our wedding, I instantly knew we needed her to perform our ceremony music! Fiona was so helpful when we were deciding what songs to pick and provided us with a varied list of different songs and also offered us advice and answered any queries we had. She responded to all emails so quickly and always provided detailed responses based on her experience. On the wedding day itself, she was amazing. Absolutely beautiful singing and so lovely to deal with also. A lot of the guests commented on the lovely music and brilliant songs - this was all down to Fiona. She even had to improvise when the priest went off script!! Being the true professional that she is, this didn't phase Fiona in the slightest. Thanks again Fiona!!

Thank you for the effort you put in to our special songs of Jealous of the Angels and The Rose. It was out of this world. We didnt expect to be doing our first dance at 5 in the evening but it was fantastic!!!! There really arent enough words to thank you, but i hope you know how grateful we are. Many thanks for everything. D and F

We couldn’t have been happier with Fiona, honestly she was brilliant. Nothing was a problem, when COVID meant we couldn’t have her sing at our drinks reception and only the church Fiona was quick to let us know the new reduced price. It was no trouble for her to travel from Cork to Kerry, and we chose the songs over a few casual emails. It was ideal, it didn’t take up heaps of time. As I’m from Tipperary I wanted my home county brought into the ceremony so Fiona went and learned Slievenamon. All of the songs were perfect and I couldn’t have been happier. You will not be disappointed if you book Fiona, we found her very reliable and professional aswell bringing such a special atmosphere and sound to our wedding. Thanks again.

Response from Fiona Kennedy Ceremony & Drinks Reception Music

Thanks a million for this amazing review Brid!! You're so kind, I was thrilled to be part of your wedding! I'm delighted that Slievenamon worked out so well and in fairness, all your song choices were great..I was happy to learn one for you! Thanks so much again, Fiona xx

Fiona was incredible on the day and everybody at our wedding remarked on how good she was. I was bit of a nervous wreck but I couldn't help but remember anytime Fiona sang a song/hymn actually selecting them with Fiona via Zoom(because of restrictions). Her happy disposition and knowledge in choosing the right songs for our ceremony was invalubale. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in reccomending Fiona. She is ,like one of our songs on the day , a shining light !!

We had Fiona for our wedding ceremony on New Years Eve less than two weeks ago. She was just fantastic. It was our third wedding date and she was so flexible throughout all of the changes. We had 25 people in the end and had a fantastic day, our ceremony music was one of my favorite parts. We had a zoom call with Fiona a few months before, where she played songs for us and helped us pick the perfect songs for our ceremony. I first saw her at a wedding fair a year and a half ago where she played the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to when I requested her to (I can't help falling in love with you), and it made me emotional which is very rare for me so I knew straight away I had to have her sing at our wedding.

Response from Fiona Kennedy Ceremony & Drinks Reception Music

Fiona is simply amazing. From the moment we met her at a wedding fair, to meeting up to go through all the songs, to FINALLY making it to the big day she was always only a text or a phone call away. She was especially fantastic when I emailed her to change around a few songs so I could have a certain song as I was walking down the aisle because I wanted to keep it as a secret from everyone. Fiona was so understanding and helpful when we had to cancel the wedding 5 days before hand and again a further two times. She has an amazing talent and we were both so happy to have her as part of ceremony and drinks reception.

Response from Fiona Kennedy Ceremony & Drinks Reception Music

Hi Fiona, John & I want to thank you sincerely for the most amazing music both at our ceremony in Gougane Barra & our drinks reception at Seaview House Hotel. Our guests are still talking about how fabulous you were. We live in New York and so most of my contact was via e-mail. Fiona was so easy to deal with & very quick to respond. She sent me the whole Mass layout with several suggestions for each part. We really had a hard time trying to pick our music as all the suggestions were brilliant. I met Fiona once before the wedding & she performed all the songs / hymns that we had picked. It was as if I knew her all my life. Anyone that is looking for a church / drinks reception singer, you do not need to look any further than Fiona. She really is top class. We can't wait to hear you perform again. Thanks again Fiona, Best Wishes, Breda & John

I met Fiona at a wedding fair in Cork and immediately felt her warmth There was a particular piece of classical music the church sound system simply couldn't accommodate so I was obsessing about that As we are based in dublin I emailed and skyped Fiona a lot so my husband could hear her voice too She helped us pick modern and appropriate pieces for the church which were absolutely perfect, "how long will I love you" was gorgeous for our entrance The beauty having Fiona there was that she could time everyone walking and finish in time which would never have worked with my "cd" While we went to Fota for some photographs we also had Fiona play at our reception in Vienna Woods Hotel, upon our return literally all our guests were up dancing and some even singing (trying anyway) but it really gelled everyone in our abscence and people still talk about her to us one year later, We would highly recommend Fiona for church/reception/both She was a pleasure to deal with and v v reasonable

Fiona is an exceptional singer and musician that is extremely professional and personable. Fiona met with us at Christmas time last year as we both live in America. In the space of 1-2 hours we had agreed the playlist for the ceremony, as well as organizing music for our reception and our first dance, which was a song we had requested that she did not know. On the wedding day, Fiona had already worked with the venue ahead of time and the wedding band to coordinate everything, which included hiring the necessary equipment, as she was traveling to Scotland from Ireland. Every person at the wedding was so impressed by Fiona, from the ceremony, to the wedding reception, to the first dance. She truly made our day all the more special, especially when she played our wedding song for the first dance and also put her own style to it, which made it even better. We would recommend Fiona to anyone looking for a provider of ceremony and reception music anywhere in Ireland or the UK. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you so much Fiona for being part of our day. You were fabulous from start to finish. Great help with suggesting songs as we weren't quite sure what we wanted, but you gave us so many options that suited our style. The church singing was just magical, while the the drinks reception was a party, you had people dancing and all !!! You were so relaxed and professional, which gave me one less thing to worry about. I would highly recommend you and already have to guests at the wedding who also thought you were exceptional. Thanks again for everything Fiona, Aoife and Henry

Fiona sang at our wedding, we couldn't rate her high enough, all our guests loved her and commented on how her singing contributed to the relaxed vibe of the ceremony, Fiona is a pleasure to deal with and an absolute talent with a beautiful voice. She was also great at guiding us an advising us on our choice if music, but ensuring that choice reflected us as a couple

Hi fiona We cannot thank you enough for being there for our wedding on 21st of may in tralee .a month before the wedding we were without a singer after being double booked. You replied to me immediately and said you could be available for our wedding. The moment I listened to your music I was actually SO happy that we had found you ! The hour that you spent on the phone to me singing songs to help me choose our music is one of my favourite build up memories to the wedding ! I knew straight away you were professional and talented . Your voice is amazing ..you added a special touch to the ceremony. I had countless people ask me your name and people tell me that they will be spreading the word about how fantastic you were !I don't think I can do you justice with my words ..so people get listening ..go to see fiona perform ..couples book this lady for your wedding. .you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Fiona ..

Fiona sang at our wedding ceremony in April and I could not recommend her highly enough. I met with Fiona about a month before the wedding to choose our music. Fiona really knows her stuff and guided us in the right direction in choosing our music and I absolutely loved every song. Fiona was so professional and sang beautifully on the day and I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks again Fiona.

Fiona was fabulous. She helped guide us in choosing the songs for the mass and provided great advice. Every song was special and she even played a Metallica song(albeit in disguise) which raised a smile amongst the guests during part of the service. She provided the backing music for two of my friends as well. She was sensible, listened to me and could be trusted to do the right thing. Booking Fiona meant I didn't have to worry about the music at the church. Thanks Fiona!

We had Fiona sing in the church for our wedding and she was absolutely fantastic! I am Dervla from the band Crystal Swing and I really wanted someone with a unique quality to sing at our wedding. Not only is she super talented but she has to be one of the friendliness and most helpful people you could ever meet. I recommend her to anyone out there! The simplicity of the guitar and her voice is second to none!

Response from Fiona Kennedy Ceremony & Drinks Reception Music

Dervla, your wedding was amazing and I was so happy to be asked to sing for your ceremony! With all the press & photographers etc, it was a real Hollywood affair..!! :) Performing for another singer is aways a bit more pressure but you were so easy going and made me feel at ease throughout.. Thank you so much for that great review and best of luck with your own career, not that youre going to need it! xxxxxxxxxx

Fiona was such a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. I was organising a lot of my wedding from overseas and she was very efficient on responding to all of my emails etc. Her voice is amazing and because of that our church service was extra special. A lot of our guests commented how amazing her voice was. I would highly recommend Fiona. Thanks for everything.

We had Fiona Kennedy singing for our Civil Ceremony recently and all i can say is that she is amazing! Her voice captivated our guests and the amount of people who asked who she was and commented on how good she is was incredible! From helping us to choose our songs and responding so fast to any queries we had was so appreciated by both of us, i would have no hesitation at all recommending Fiona to any future brides out there looking for an amazing and professional musician for their wedding! Not only is she very talented but a lovely lady and a true professional!

Well, what a great review and thank you so much for taking the time to write it Imelda! I'm thrilled that you were happy with me and wish you both all the best for a wonderful future together! Fiona xx

We got married in March and had Fiona for both our church and reception music. From the moment we met her we knew we'd made an excellent choice. Both her singing and guitar playing were amazing and lots of our guests commented on how brilliant she was. When we met up before the wedding she was very friendly and easy going and spent lots of time making sure we were happy with our music choices. We would have no hesistantion in recommending her to anyone.

Fiona sang for our ceremony and drinks reception on May 23rd 2014. On first meeting Fiona I felt there was something that set her apart from others that we had spoken with about our ceremony, a personal touch combined with a unique talent. This proved to be true- Fiona went the extra mile to meet with us to discuss song choices, offering to learn anything she didn't know. On the day her performance was flawless and so memorable, so many guests commented on the uniqueness and soulfullness of her voice and she brought out the emotion of each song. Again in the drinks reception she came into her own singing a great variety of songs and keeping a party atmosphere going. Book her!

Response from Fiona Kennedy Ceremony & Drinks Reception Music

Wow..!! When I'm feeling down I read this wonderful review and it gives me a great lift..:):) Thanks a million Sharon, I was absolutely delighted to be part of your fab wedding day!! You guys were a pleasure to work with as well. Wishing you lots of happiness in the future, Fiona xxx

Fiona played at my wedding in March 2014 and she played in both the church and the drinks reception. From the second we met Fiona she was very professional but yet we felt like we had been friends with her for years. She gave great ideas for songs but listened to what we wanted also and she even learnt a few songs that we requested. I would highly recommend her as she makes everything perfect for a bride on the day and even beforehand. Each song is sung with meaning and magic is created when she sings as she sings with pure love and passion.

Fiona sang for our wedding on the 30th of November 2012. Fiona took great interest and time in helping us to choose songs that were meanful to us on our special day. Fiona sang beautifully throughout the ceremony and reception which contributed to making the day relaxing and enjoyable. Fiona was professional through planning to performance, was generous with her time and attention to detail which was a great relief given the pressures of organising a wedding. Fiona's performance is frequently remarked on by guests recalling the day and I would have no hesitation recommending Fiona for a friends wedding. She was fantastic!

We had Fiona Play at our church and at our reception at The Maryborough on the 5th May 2012. She was amazing, not only on the day but in all the preperations and choosing of our songs for the mass. I had a song that was very special to me that she did'nt know and within days she knew it and sang it so beautifully. I was the happiest bride walking up the aisle. Our guests had a fab time at the reception and the atmosphere was fantastic.I still get guests telling me how fab she was. Fiona is so kind and attentive to all bride and grooms needs. I can't thank her enough for all her help. You made our wedding day a truly special day. Thank you a million.xxxxxxx

Fiona played at our ceremony and at our reception and I can't recommend her highly enough! The music in the church was fabulous and everyone commented on it. Fiona spent time with us to ensure it was exactly what we wanted - traditional with a twist and very romantic! Fiona also played at our reception and when we arrived there was a really lovely relaxed atmosphere with all our guests enjoying her music - she even took requests from my little niece. I would definately recommend Fiona - she really made our ceremony very special and a little different! Thanks Fiona!
