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 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.

Please nip over to my website and see how the pipes, flute and whistles, tie the different sections of your wedding ceremony so beautifully 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...! ???? )

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,

Be?ta 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 was excellent to work with. The music he played was amazing. He helped us to get the cliffs rocking with our request to play AC/DC with the pipes. He was quick to respond to all of our emails and he made our wedding day so special. Thank you Ronan!

Hi Ronan,

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding. The amount of people that complimented the music was (un)believable and you made a lot of grown men cry (in a good way!). It was absolutely perfect; I couldn?t have asked for better.

We really hope we get to hear you play again sometime.

Thanks again,

Ronan was an absolute pleasure to work with. After sharing the outline of the ceremony with him, Ronan had loads of input and amazing ideas from the music side. He really helped to shape the ceremony and make it even more special and meaningful. On the day itself, his music really was the highlight of the ceremony. Not only a talented musician but also lovely, down to earth, personable and a great sense of humour. Would highly recommend for any special occasion.

Thanks a mill Candice! I reckon a certain little lady was the real highlight of the ceremony! What gorgeous weather you had. Remember me hiding under the cherry tree, and then the gate-post, so my pipes wouldn't melt away – we'll take that, any day, over rain and wind...!

We couldn't recommend Ronan enough! From the first Email enquiring about playing at our ceremony to the day of our wedding it was an absolute pleasure in dealing with him. His personality seemed to shine through on every email as he was exactly the same when meeting him in person. He really set the mood and we let Ronan read the room and play pieces of music as the ceremony progressed. The uilleann pipes sounded beautiful in City Hall he really knew how to play in the space he was in showing how skilled of a musician he really is. He deserves every positive review on here and that only shows how genuine and professional he is!

Once again Ronan thank you for being part of our special day

I’m blown away with your lovely words. What an honour to play for you and in such a heavenly place! Yes, I did love the huge ambience of City Hall. But my music was only to set the stage you two inhabited. Great memories. Let’s do it again for your Golden Jubilee!!

Ronan Browne is a master of the Irish pipes. Such is his skill that my now wife and I reached out to him with a strange request: we offered to fly him over 4,000 miles to play at our wedding in South Florida. Although Ronan?s schedule did not permit his attendance, he tapped into his wide network of Irish musicians to set us with a skilled Irish piper living in Miami. Not stopping there, he checked in on us before and after the wedding to make sure everything was in order (and to comment on how jealous he was of our Caribbean honeymoon). With Ronan, you get a warm personality who is invested in the integrity of the music and making your event wonderful. We can?t wait to hear him on our next trip to Ireland!

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!

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 :-)

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 M?r 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!!

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.

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.

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.

His music created a wonderful and very emotional setting in an already unique and intimate St. John?s church.

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.

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!

Haha!!! Now I know where to go for my new PR Company. Yep, what an adventure it was. And in the most beautiful play imaginable – to be able to take your wedding photos on the banks of Loch Lomand, only seconds from your ceremony, was magical. Yep, we did have lotsa fun before the ceremony :)
Thanks again for including me in your team!!

We absolutely loved Ronan! He was responsive, willing to learn and play a song that had meaning for us but was not on his normal list and fantastic on the day!

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...!!!

This ceremony would not have been the same if Ronan would not be with us. It was an honor for us to have him with us.
This man needs to be known. He is a great performer and somebody with sensibility. he found the way to have our marriage unique. Thanks you so much

Ronan from first contact was a dream to work with. We had some offbeat suggestions for music and he embraced them. He made everyone feel right at home and rescued that ceremony once when we had no idea what to say. Got everyone to laugh.

In the reception everyone was asking about him.

We wouldn't hesitate to book Ronan for any occasion in the future.

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.

All the best, and hope to see you again soon,

Ken and Kristine
Response from Irish Music Weddings - Uilleann Pipes, Flute and Whistles
What a gorgeous message, thanks Kristine and Kenneth. I think that you might be possibly the best at descriptions after all...!!!
Don't forget to call me for your annual renewal of vows...!!! Best wishes, Ronan

You made it so special for us ? I would highly recommend you to everyone and I hope to see you at family weddings again!!
Response from Irish Music Weddings - Uilleann Pipes, Flute and Whistles
Thanks a million Sinead, it was a fantastic day. Very stylish indeed – yourself and Vasko looked wonderful. And your backup team of bridesmaids, groomsmen, flowergirls and pageboys were dazzling (but only in a sort of backroom position compared to the two of you!!) And the church too, with the exposed stone – beautiful!!

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.

Ronan played for our wedding in August 2015!! When we were looking into what music to have for our special day we knew we wanted something different and special!! We came across Ronan online as we were looking one evening and we absolutely loved his music and the different samples on his website! His music is so beautiful and instantly draws you in...while my hubby and I enjoy traditional music and instruments we were just completely blown away by his music and the ambiance it created even listening online!!!

I'm sure everyone planning a wedding is familiar with the hassle sometimes that goes with planning, googling and organising things and people for a wedding.... ha sometimes you can get so overwhelmed with the jobs to be done and people to contact. Ronan was a breathe of fresh air and the most friendly and fabulous person to work with!! We met with him one windy Saturday afternoon after a wedding he was playing for!! Within seconds he had us laughing and singing along to different songs!!! We had a brilliant afternoon and booked him there and then!! His music , especially in a church or somewhere with acoustics is truly magical!!

On the day Ronan's music was beyond anything we could have imagined... it was truly beautiful!! He put everyone at ease and chatted away to people arriving at the church!!
My husband and I couldn't recommend Ronan more... we loved the music and how it sounded in the church, and also really enjoyed working with him!!

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!
Response from Irish Music Weddings - Uilleann Pipes, Flute and Whistles
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. I don't always get to play for the champagne reception too and great fun was had :)

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!

What can I say, Ronan played the Uileann Pipes at our wedding. He was absolutely brilliant. From the first email I sent to Ronan, right up to playing at the mass, he was fantastic to deal with. I couldn't recommend Ronan highly enough, he is so professional, an absolute gentleman and his music was simply superb.
Thanks again Ronan for making our wedding mass so special and so unique.

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! Ronan :)
