The hauntingly romantic Irish pipes and low whistle guarantee to be a stunning addition to your wedding. 

Long after your flowers are gone and the last piece of cake has been posted overseas, one of the most cherished memories may just be the gentle echo of your beautiful ceremony music – that evocative sound of the Uilleann pipes and low whistles.

While many people have heard pipes before, they are always moved by this gentle giant of an instrument. It fills your senses and is fascinating to watch; the tone is deep & complex with wonderful high harmonics, the low earthy but gentle growl of the three drones providing a primeval bed over which the chanter's melody & regulators' chords soar.

The sound of the pipes, interspersed with pieces on the flute and whistles, beautifully tie the different sections of your wedding ceremony together.

(Pipes can be hard to find on the internet; sometimes it is good to search using alternative spellings of uilleann: uilean. uillean, uileann; you can also try things like piper (but that might get you Scottish pipers too), pipes, Irish pipes, Irish piper, even just the word pipe!  What about Oilean )

Ronan (Irish Music Weddings) is a musician in Galway, servicing weddings throughout the local area including also the whole of Ireland and overseas.

He is a professional, attentive and approachable musician that has been part of the wedding industry since 2007, specialising in gentle, haunting music as well as playing modern classics on old Irish instruments.

We would like to say a massive thank you to Ronan who played at our wedding ceremony on the 15th May 2021. He was so helpful in the lead up to our big day, especially as we had to change dates a number of times - nothing was ever an issue for him. All our guests present on the day and those watching online were so complimentary regarding our beautiful ceremony music. Ronan is an absolute gent and we can't wait to receive our wedding video so we can listen to his music all over again! No need to look elsewhere for music, you will not be disappointed!

Thanks Cian and Sarah, it was an absolute pleasure. The two of you were radiant on the day and, Cian, you were a joy to communicate with as those dates changed. The world is a better place with you two in it!

Ronan played beautiful Irish music (uilleann pipes , flute and whistles) at our wedding reception. He was so helpful in the lead up to the big day and was willing to go out of his way to make everything go to plan. He is a true Irish character and we felt lucky to have him part of the day. We would certainly recommend his music.

Ronan played the uilleann pipes and whistles at our wedding ceremony on 29Dec2020. He was absolutely fantastic, and played some really beautiful pieces. It was so special to have some traditional Irish music at our wedding and there is no one better for the job. Ronan is such a lovely man and travelled all the way to Co. Waterford from Galway to play at the wedding. He was very helpful in the run up to the wedding, and even helped us pick some of the pieces for the ceremony. I would highly recommend Ronan :-)

Dear Ronan, Evan and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding on the 9th of October. You have been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The music you played filled everyone's hearts with joy! Especially our overseas guests. Everybody commented how warm, beautiful and romantic your pipes sounded. It was very special and made the wedding ceremony perfect. Thank you also for being so helpful in the lead up to the wedding and coming up with the perfect pieces for each part of the ceremony. I will always remember your Uilleann Pipes playing as I walked up the aisle and will never forget how you always seemed to be smiling. Our only regret is not being able to chat to you as much as we would have liked after! Wishing you the best, and our deepest heartfelt thanks, Beáta and Evan

Wasn't it just the perfect day – and so lucky you were still able to have your wedding in between the (first...?) 2 lockdowns. Great fun playing for your Champagne Reception too. Your family and friends were intrigued by my Irish instruments – it was such an honour to share and explain them. Yes, isn't the day such a whirlwind – you are being whisked here and there, for photographs and important family chats. I'm so glad you enjoyed having me as part of the day but it was such a pleasure for me too, seeing how happy you both looked whenever I glimpsed you. Wishing you many, many, many decades of wedded bliss! Ronan xx

Ronan is wonderful to work with, and his pipe and flute music is absolutely beautiful. My husband and I had Ronan play the music at our wedding in Galway. We are both from the United States, so we had to plan our wedding from abroad. Ronan was responsive and extremely helpful over email - he gave us many options and suggestions when we asked about format and what songs to play at certain points. Plus he was so friendly! He was flexible and accommodating; our ceremony started a bit late and he played a variety of songs to film the space while all of our guests were waiting. Our church ceremony was so beautiful in a large part due to the gorgeous sound of his pipes. They sounded amazing in person, and really brought the whole ceremony together. His music gave the event an authentic feel as well. I would highly recommend him as a musician.

From the moment we started communication with Ronan Browne we really liked him and were so glad we chose him to play at our intimate wedding in the Aran Islands. The beautiful music he played created a memorable and moving atmosphere, but he brought more than just the music... it was his warm, friendly personality and great sense of humour which brought that extra bit of magic and happiness to our special day. Ronan was fantastic with communication, always responding promptly to emails (his emails were a pleasure to read!) and he made everyone feel at ease at every step of the way. Our wedding ceremony was outdoors and it rained on the day and Ronan just went with it and cheered us all up with his good humour and jokes. We highly recommend him! Thanks for making our magical rainy wedding on Inis Mór extra special Ronan!

7 Days before the wedding I decided this was the man I wanted playing at our wedding & thank God he was available!! Ronan was a star to deal with from the start! He's a proper gentleman with a hint of divilment thrown in! My entrance music was "for the love of a princess" played on the uilleann pipes & it was the most amazing piece of music ive ever had the privilege of hearing & the fact it was for our wedding made it even more special! Everyone LOVED the music & him! Without a shadow of a doubt if you have Ronan playing at your wedding you will not be disappointed!! Tracey & Patrick

Cannot praise Ronan Browne enough! With 160 guests at our wedding every single person enjoyed thoroughly the music at the church. He went above and beyond for us, with accommodating a change of date to playing extra songs while the guests chatted in the church, to create a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. Even the priest commented on how great it was! So nice to deal with, always replying quickly and in detail to any queries we had. A true gent with a great talent.

Ronan was an absolute delight to deal with. He worked with us very closely to match the music to with our exact needs, likes, and the venue choice. everything worked beautifully and i could not have been happier. Nothing was too much trouble. It made the pre ceremony and the ceremony so special, i will never forget the sound of the beautiful pipes as i walked down the aisle, perfect. Ronan is charming, kind, exceptionally professional, funny and very easy to work with. excellent value for money, cannot recommend him more.

What can I say, Ronan was a pure delight to deal with from start to finish, excellent correspondence which is just what you need if you are a busy bride! I came across him through a friends recommendation, and it was the best decision ever. Ronan is so talented at what he does, and a pure gentleman, he added such a fairytale feeling to our day with his amazing music, and kept our guests entertained before the ceremony with his amazing talent. If in doubt, and looking for something a bit different and magical, contact Ronan!

Ronan is a gent, I wasn't sure of appropriate songs for our mass and he filled in the gaps perfectly. I really wanted to walk down the aisle to Amazing Grace on the pipes and it had me fighting back tears from the second I heard it. The Uileann Pipes and the way Ronan plays them are haunting and beautiful, so many of our friends and family had never heard the pipes, flute and whistle at a wedding before and loved it as much as we did. Even our priest was converted as soon as he heard it. It really is the stand out memory of the day remembering to the beautiful music Ronan played during our ceremony.

Ronan was awesome! We learned about his music from a lucky Google search and watched a few videos. In person, Ronan is a great guy...funny, great sense of humor, flexible, and a genuinely good hearted person. He’s a great communicator, arrived on time, and made everything super easy for us. Hope to see Ronan again one day, regardless of whether he’s playing an instrument or not...and enjoy a pint with him. Like I said, Ronan is awesome!

Ronan Browne, our piper and flute player was fantastic and brilliant. A real down-to-earth character and gifted musician and very easy to work with. His music created a wonderful and very emotional setting in an already unique and intimate St. John’s church. All the guests couldn’t stop talking about him and the real surprise they got to arrive to such a lovely ambience in the church. Ronan’s music reached out to one and all and spoke a thousand words.

We got married in a fairly small church with around 100 guests. I always wanted Irish music to feature during the ceremony and Ronan's repertoire of Irish instruments were exactly what we were after. His pipes were stunning as was the flute and whistle. There wasn't any need for accompanying musicians, singers or even amplification, it was elegant and simple, exactly what we were after. Ronan was extremely helpful in helping us pick out the tunes too. A joy to deal with and a vendor I couldn't recommend more highly.

No words can describe what a wonderful musician Ronan is. The music he played at our wedding was so beautiful and so many people complimented it. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Nothing was a big ask and he even brought a friend along to play with him at our drinks reception with no additional cost and it went down a treat. Ronan is a breath of fresh air and I would happily recommend him to any couple getting married.

Hi Ann-Marie! Your kind review has brought that wonderful day back to me – while your ceremony itself was gorgeous with all those extra little touches, my fav part was afterwards where I was playing under the shade of that big tree, and kids flying about having a ball, and your friends and relations all chatting to me between tunes – what a cultural triumph on your part!!!

We cannot recommend Ronan highly enough!! We first saw Ronan perform at a family wedding in Ireland and were so impressed by his talent that we knew we had to have him for our own wedding... but we live in Scotland. A quick e-mail inquiry to Ronan about his availability to travel, or if he had any similarly fabulous Scottish equivalents he could recommend, and he was booked! The whole process of communication was done via e-mail and Ronan often responded within minutes. Even when 'bridezilla' was e-mailing at midnight! :) He was happy to arrange all his own transport and accommodation, make recommendations for songs, what instruments he could play, when he would play, etc. He was just so easy to deal with, which is a major tick in the box when you're planning a wedding! On the wedding day we had so many compliments from our wedding planner about how funny Ronan was and how he was entertaining our guests in the build up to the service. He played beautifully at our wedding, for which we cannot thank him enough. Ronan's professional but lighthearted humor is infectious and he was a wonderful addition to our wedding day. If you are reading this review and thinking of booking him for your wedding, do it! He is amazing!

Ronan was fantastic from start to finish. We planned everything via email from the US, and booked relatively last minute. He was very quick to respond, took care of the details to put my mind at ease, and most importantly - played hauntingly beautiful music for us on our special day. Above and beyond the actual music, Ronan is also such a kind individual, with a wonderful laugh and sense of humor, that helped to dissolve some of the stress and butterflies on our wedding day. I highly recommend!
Response from Irish Music Weddings - Uilleann Pipes, Flute and Whistles
Yeah, stress and butterflies – I remember them myself from our own wedding. There's nothing much you can do about them but hopefully the people you have booked can help put you at your ease. We've seen it all before so it is our job to remove as much stress as possible. I'm so glad you enjoyed having me play for you. Glad and honoured...!!!

Ronan from first contact was a dream to work with. We had some offbeat suggestions for music and he embraced them.

Hi Ronan, Hope you're keeping well. We're just back from a few weeks off and wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for playing at our wedding on Sept 30th. I can safely say that you were the most talked about part of the whole day (bride excluded!!) and you were even better than we could have hoped for during the ceremony. The pieces you played were absolutely beautiful and, while I'm not the best at descriptions, you and your talent made the ceremony seem magical to us. We can't thank you enough and hope we can find an excuse at some stage to get you to play again for us. You have a wicked sense of humour to boot and absolutely fit perfectly in there on the day.

We are a couple that had a destination wedding in Galway this summer. We wanted to have some true Irish music and thus requested Ronan Browne to perform on our pre-dinner reception. That was one of the best choices made! All our guests that travelled from Russia loved the performance, and were charmed by Ronan's cheerful personality. We visited our home country recently, and both our families and friends were telling us how his presence made the dinner more special and fun! Ronan, thank you!

Ronan is an excellent musician and a real entertainer with a warm personality. He was exactly what we wanted at our wedding, and he was really part of the day. His music was superb, and perfect for the small chapel where we celebrated the mass, the instruments were not too loud (which the priest had been initially worried ied about) but hauntingly beautiful to hear. We recommend him very highly recommended.

Ronan was an absolute gentleman in terms of his professionalism, his talents and his ability to blend into the crowd while making a stunning impact with his music. Ronan went out of his way to accomodate the music we were looking for and nothing seem to be any trouble for him. His music was a significant part of our ceremony and our guests continue to talk about him even months on. He has a great sense of humour which kept our stress levels at bay. I would highly recommend Ronan for anyone looking for a class act and something uniquely Irish.

The music was beautiful and well chosen and our overseas guests were blown away by his ability and the sounds that flowed through our ceremony and after. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody, absolutely stunning.

Ronan did the music for the ceremony and drinks reception at the hotel. He was a gentleman from the very start. He gave me a lot of advice about what types of music would work for a civil wedding, and for different parts of the ceremony. In the lead-up, he was very responsive to me over email, even during his holidays in England! On the day of, he re-arranged some details to better fit the room and where everyone was sitting, which worked out very well. He also gave the groom some much needed advice ;) The music was beautiful - some really lovely traditional arrangements which the guests were delighted with. I would recommend Ronan, he's a talented musician and a gentleman, and it was a pleasure dealing with him!

Haha Siobhán, the wonders of modern technology, eh – we were able to plan your music as I put-putted down the canals of England on a narrow-boat!!! 'Twas a mighty day.

Ronan is an absolute star! I first heard his beautiful music as a child while watching 'The Secret of Roan Inish' and remember finding his uileann pipes so haunting and magical. When my husband told me he would be the one playing at our wedding I was amazed and delighted! He played various instruments throughout our ceremony and at our champagne reception and traveled some distance to be there. Even with his immense talent, he is a humble, salt of the earth sort of a person, friendly and easy to talk to, very professional and accommodating - basically a bride's dream! Thank you so much, Ronan!

Ronan was truly amazing...I wanted something different to the usual song singing and I got something truly unique and special. He played Gabriels Oboe on flute for BM's adn switched to the Uileann pipes for me and it was beautiful. I loved 'For the Love of a Princes'-Braveheart- at signing of register! The music was a real winner with our priest and the whole crowd.The traditional Irish and the classical sounded equally as good as each other on the pipes/Whistles. Our church is very small and the sound of the pipes were gentle and the sounds travelled beautifully. It all sounded so romantic..Ronan was lovely to deal with :)

Ronan, we had a fantastic day yesterday! Just wanted to say thanks so much for being a part of it. And the provision of hydration-top-up to a parched bride was above & beyond :) Seriously, we had an absolute ball from start to finish. The music was superb – couldn't have picked a nicer or more talented musician to play for our ceremony. I don't think there were many dry eyes in the house/garden! Having you over to play was such an amazing privilege – thanks for making it possible! Getting married at home wasn't an option for us and it just meant so much to me, to have a wee bit of home in Edinburgh. We'd be more than happy to speak to anyone who wants a chat, so feel free to pass on our email if you need to. Thanks again, Catherine and James

Hi Guys! Thanks for allowing your email as a testimonial. And I have one for you – that full 5 Minutes of silence during your ceremony was one of the most moving things I have ever experienced. Any 'silence' I've ever seen was for a max of 30 seconds, but 5 minutes meant that each and every one of us was able to slowly disappear off into our deepest thoughts – WOW...!!! Thanks for that!

In the build up to the day you gave me great confidence and support regards the music and our choices available and also made it a really enjoyable process. On the day you were a true professional we watched the wedding video the other day and the music in the church came across so beautifully. I wish you the very best of success for the future and again many thanks for helping make our day that extra bit special. We are most grateful and cannot thank you enough!

Ronan, thank you so much for the wonderful music you provided on our special day. We fell in love instantly when we heard you online - booking a wedding from Australia was quite challenging and we had to go on our gut for everything we booked but I was immediately hooked when I heard you – and you did not disappoint. When I entered the church to the pipes, it filled me with pride to be Irish but it also relaxed me which I didn't expect. The mix of pipes, whistles and flute were beautifully intertwined throughout the ceremony and your relaxed nature made us all feel more at ease - there were a few times I looked up and you winked or smiled at me which was very refreshing as you made it all about me. Normally people might not thank me for being late (wasn't intended) but all our guests loved hearing the warm up music. Music was one of the most important parts of the day and you nailed it. For anyone looking for something a bit different from your regular singing, we highly recommend Ronan.

A big special thank you for your beautiful contribution to our wedding on the 3rd. Everyone mentioned the music to us; I know the kids had a great time playing the instruments after the ceremony, you were very kind to let them play. It just went so fast on the day! Sean and I want to say how much we appreciated the music; improvisation was the way to go we would not have been able to choose so wisely. I am so glad we decided on music only and no readings, it flowed so nicely. Warmest regards.

We could not agree more with the previous testimonials. Ronan was a pleasure to deal with. We would like to thank him for his professionalism & beautiful music throughout our ceremony. His selection of music was incredible and he was so flexible & accommodating on the day, providing impromptu pieces when needed. He really added that magic touch to our day, creating the perfect atmosphere. Everyone spoke of how good the music was and they thoroughly enjoyed listening to Ronan. The uileann pipes set the scene, followed by tin whistle, flute, low whistle. We had an Australian/Irish wedding and our international guests loved every minute of listening to the different instruments, as did our Irish guests. You will not be disappointed with choosing Ronan for your wedding, he is an absolute professional. Thank you Ronan, we wish you the very best and long may your musical talent & success continue!

Ronan Browne played at our wedding ceremony in December 2012. I could not have asked for more beautiful music to walk down the aisle to. He is so great to work with and was always in contact helping me out with music choices and even learning new pieces for a medley i wanted. His music is stunning and so many people commented on how beautiful and moving it was. I could not recommend this man enough and if you do decide to book him, you are in for an absolute treat. He is a pleasure to work with, has a great sense of humour and most importantly is incredibly talented at what he does. Thank you so much Ronan.

You took time out to go through our wedding cermony music with us and made the whole experience very exciting and enjoyable. Ronan even gave us help with our wedding cermony by suggesting a Reflection prayer and playing gentle music to it, which worked great.We both think you are an incredible Irish Musican.

Ronan played at our wedding in February and don't take the lateness of this testimonial as any reflection on Ronan playing- He was brilliant! Ronan's music set the tone for the day and certainly eased us and our guests into the ceremony and the celebration. Even the crankiest of relatives were very impressed. Having attended more weddings than I care to remember, it was easily the most elegant and pleasing musical accompaniment I have heard, and that's even with removing any personal bias.

"A joy to hear" was just one of the many positive comments about Ronan Browne from our wedding guests. The sounds of his pipes, flutes & whistles were magical, romantic & spiritual. Those gorgeous old uilleann pipes in particular filled the church with warmth & happiness. Ronan was a joy to work with too, full of good advice and helpful suggestions when selecting tunes for the ceremony. We had a friend singing also.

Ronan brings a variety of musical options with the Uilleann Pipes, flute, low whistle, tin whistle - and just himself! Ronan was easily the best vendor we worked with for the wedding. We are living in USA and had our wedding in Mulranny, Mayo in June 2009. About a month before our wedding day on the urgings of my mother, we started looking for some live music options for the church. We were trying to keep the day simple, so didn't want any heavy duty singing or instruments. I happened across Ronan's page on the weddingsonline website. Ronan sent recordings of the tunes we had chosen and even learned one of them that he did not already have in his repertoire. He was very timely with follow-ups in the communications in the days getting the playlist finalized. On the day he was completely professional, very relaxed and smiling all the way - helping to put everyone at ease. His rendition of Tabhair dom do Laimh on the low whistle was unforgettable. We definitely recommend Ronan and his music for weddings and events.

From that first email Ronan was an absolute pleasure to deal with, a complete Gentelman. Ronan has a kindness about him that just puts you at ease. I found my self when things got tense on the build up to the big day pulling up Ronan's web page and just listening to his beautiful music. As i started my walk down the isle it could not have been more perfect, Ronans music was beyond amazing. As i'm irish and my husband is dutch we live in U.S.A and travel the world working with horses, our wedding was like the united nations. Every last person commented on how magical the music was in the church.

I can honestly say the most memorable aspect of our wedding ceremony was Ronan Browne playing his uilleann pipes. We originally hired a wedding coordinator who said our dream of having the pipes at our small castle wedding would not be possible since the pipes would be too loud for a small ceremony site. Well, I fired the coordinator and contacted Ronan. He confirmed that the uilleann pipes would work out perfectly and he was such a help with choosing the music that it took away all my stress. Ronan was such a joy. He worked well with the Priest (Fr. Molloy) and the photographer to make the ceremony run smoothly and perfectly. Our guests loved his music and his personality. He was so much fun and the best entertainer we could have imagined for our wedding. Instead of doing a lot of readings, we chose to have more music in the ceremony and it could not have been better. I still get an excited feeling when I think back to the point when I was walking up the castle steps to enter the ceremony room; the sound of Ronan's music floating down the castle steps was nothing less than magical. What more could a bride ask for on her wedding day than the feeling of magic in the air? I would highly recommend Ronan to anyone wanting a memorable musical experience on their wedding.

My wife and I hired Ronan Browne to play at our wedding reception in September 2007, along with Kathleen Loughnane on the harp. Their performance on the night was nothing short of amazing. Both Ronan and Kathleen far exceeded our expectations, by not only commanding their highly expert music skills, but also in reaching the audience, instilling additional life and soul into the proceedings. Ronan and Kathleen created a magical and joyous atmosphere of celebration for the evening that had everyone dancing and touched the hearts of all there! I cannot recommend Ronan Browne highly enough. If you like irish trad music, or just want something a bit different from the standard wedding band, Ronan's musical skill is a must to make your wedding truly special.

What a lovely testimonial. And a wedding that I though would kill me – to assume the position of wedding band with no more than a duo of Harp and pipes. But you're right and we rose to the occasion and had a ball. Slept for a week afterwards...!!!
