We had Orla and Niall play for our civil Ceremony and they played beautifully and so professional exceding all expectations. Orla and Niall were very easy to deal with and they offer a large list of songs but also give the option of learning new ones which is brilliant. I highly recommend Orla and Niall to anyone looking to elevate their special day.

Orla and Niall were one of the most praised aspects of our wedding- the repertoire and the sound of their singing and instruments together is out of this world. We had a church ceremony and they embellished the mass beautifully. They have a fantastic range of songs- including lots by Irish artists which we loved. Their rendition of the Prayer was seriously stunning. They were responsive via email and extremely accommodating- couldn’t recommend Orla and Niall more!

We got married on August 2nd 2024 in Asdee Church North Kerry and Niall and Orla were our wedding singers and musicians.
To say they were fantastic is an understatement. Our guests kept coming up asking who our musicians in the church were and how we managed to book them. They are so lovely, down to earth and talented. I chose a song for my Entrance that wasn't on their list and there was absolutely no problem.
I highly recommend 👌

Niall and Orla played at our wedding ceremony on the 4th May. They were absolutely outstanding. We had never heard them play before, except on social media. They were even better in person, more than we could have hoped for. I also requested 2 songs that weren't on their (very large) list of songs. This was absolutely no problem to them.
Correspondence was so easy and I always received quick replies.
We had a large number of guests compliment them afterwards and interested in their details.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

Niall and Orla played for our wedding church music and we were so happy with them. They are so talented, and between both their voices and the instruments they can play, they have such a wide range of variety they bring to their music set. They were easy to communicate with and happy to meet any needs or requests we had. We highly recommend them.

Niall and Orla played for our wedding on 3rd February in the Cathedral in Killarney which is no easy place to play! We were absolutely delighted with them. No song request was a problem for them to play and they sounded amazing. I would 100% recommend them to sing at any wedding.

Orla and Niall were amazing. Our wedding was last weekend and it was an extremely icy morning on the roads . They travelled from west cork to a holycross abbey in tipperary in severely icy conditions . This shows their dedication to the job. They sounded absolutely amazing on the day and they did the abbey absolute justice.we got so many compliments on the singing. Thanks again Orla and Niall

Orla and Niall played for our wedding in Cork in April 2022 and it was the best decision ever. The whole church was talking about them afterwards. Even when communicating with them before the wedding we knew we had made the right choice. Such beautiful voices that work well together but also as solo singers... they really know what they are doing! They sang a mixture of hymns and songs from Mary black, Christy Moore, the cranberries and the frank and Walters!! I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Orla and Niall were absolutely amazing!! I got married 5 days ago and they did the music in our church. Their voices are out of this world and would give you chills. I was in tears walking up the aisle and I think the music helped. They gave plenty of music choices and showed us exactly how many pieces of music we needed in each section. I could not recommend the two of them enough. A lot of guests were talking afterwards about how beautiful their voices were. Would highly highly recommend them.

Orla and Niall performed for our church wedding ceremony and we were so delighted to have them set such a lovely tone for our wedding day. They both are truly talented and so many of our wedding guests commented on how beautiful the church music was on the day. Orla and Niall were so easy to deal with from the moment we made an enquiry with them. They were so helpful providing us with song suggestions for the ceremony but were equally accommodating in performing pieces that meant a lot of us to have played on the day. They were very flexible and professional and we could not recommend them enough to future wedding couples.

Orla and Niall played at our wedding this Dec 5th. From when we booked them they have been absolutely wonderful to work with. I love music so really wanted to see my suppliers and they kindly facilitated me to attend another church wedding so I could see them in real life before booking! This was of course pre Covid! There was really no need to see them in advance as the music in their YouTube and Facebook videos is just as beautiful as in real life!
They gave excellent advice on song choices - sending us a comprehensive list and advising us to run it by our priest who had no issues.
Of note, in advance I contact Niall as my father wanted to sing a song from the alter at our wedding. Given the pandemic there wasn't an opportunity to practice, but Niall did send a recording of the tune and was so so helpful and accommodating! On the day, Orla and Niall played along beautifully and accompanied him so well. It was breathtaking!
I really and truly sat back and thoroughly enjoyed the music- it was flawless and there was no stress at all in choosing the music there was such an array. They also offered to learn songs that weren't on their list and produced the most stunning rendition of ?Have yourself a merry little Christmas?. Us and our guests were blown away and I cannot wait to hear it all again on our dvd.
Not only was their music phenomenal, but their professionalism and gentile nature just made the whole thing so pleasant: I would highly recommend!

We had Niall and Orla perform at our wedding last weekend. They were truly amazing. They enriched the ceremony no end and everyone was talking about the music in the church afterwards. It was our 4th wedding date and Niall and Orla rowed in with us for each date and in the end we brought our wedding forward so they facilitated us with 6 days notice. They performed hymns and songs in English and in Irish along with beautiful instrumental pieces also. I couldn't recommend them though. Their singing and music will give you goosebumps.

We hired Niall and Orla to cover the music for our wedding ceremony in September 2020. The singing and instrumental music was exceptional and all our wedding guests commented on how outstanding their performance was. They have a large number of songs in their repertoire to choose from for the ceremony and they moved seamlessly and professionally between songs during each part of the wedding. Even though it was our special day they stole the show at the church. We really couldn't recommend them highly enough. Miriam & Eddie

We cannot recommend Orla and Niall enough. They played both our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in west Cork on August 20th and they blew us away. Our guests kept coming up to ask us who they were and to tell us how amazing they were. We would definitely recommend 'The Prayer' in particular as they do that phenomenally well, there was not a dry eye in the room.
They were so professional all the way through to the day itself. We are over the moon that we picked them.

We can't recommend Orla and Niall (The Wedding Duo) enough! Orla's voice will send shivers down your spine and Niall's voice will leave your guests not wanting the ceremony to end! Their voices, coupled with the music will create a most memorable ceremony, that is definitely worth recording! All interactions with Orla and Niall were easy and stress free. If you?re worried about what music to pick or what songs to use at different parts of the ceremony, Orla and Niall will be able to advise you. However, if you have your own music in mind, Orla and Niall are extremely accommodating! We are so glad these two played a part in our ceremony and we can't wait to watch it back when we get our wedding video! Thank you both so much! We couldn't have wished for better!
