Great music for Anna's wedding yesterday!!! Didn't leave the dancefloor :)

Hi Tommy a huge thank you for making our wedding the great day that it was! The music was even better than I could have imagined & exactly what we wanted- all the guests are still talking about how great u guys were! From the church to the hooley & disco into the early hours, we couldn't ask for better! And Joe Donegal was the icing on the cake lol!! Thank u all so much I will be recommending u to all :-)

Hi Tommy, only getting around now to say a huge thank you for the fab music on our wedding day. Was so glad we got you for the whole day, i have to say i absolutely LOVED the music in the chapel and the irish hooley that night was great craic! Thanks a million to you and the boys.

Just wanted to say the biggest THANK YOU ever to the Big Jigs for playing our wedding on Saturday. You guys were beyond amazing and everyone loved you (especially the Americans)!! Thanks for keeping everyone dancing all night!

Great music for Anna's wedding yesterday!!! Didn't leave the dancefloor :)

Belatedly, my wife and I want to express our sincere thanks to you and Joe for the wonderful music and spirit you both provided at our daughter's wedding celebration on April 2nd at the Ballinacurra House in Kinsale. It is hard to believe that two months have now passed since that magical day. We can't thank you enough for the beautiful music played both at the wedding ceremony and pre-d...inner concert in the drawing room. Tommy leading the wedding couple into the banquet room for dinner wearing a full kilt and playing the bagpipes was a treasured moment we will never forget. All of our family and guests have said how much they enjoyed your incredible music beginning with the lovely ceremony and lasting through the "hooley" and into the wee hours of the morning. The way you were able to get everyone up and dancing was absolutely inspired. Hopefully, your long drive back to Donegal the day after the ceremony was not too painful. My only regret is failing my bodhran audition with the band.

Best of luck to The Big Jigs! Thanks again for your special music, humor and energy....you guys were fantastic!

With much appreciation,

Hi Tommy, I just wanted to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding reception in An Chuirt Hotel, Gweedore on 27th August 2011. You guys were absolutely brilliant, we couldn’t have asked for better craic. All our guests have been saying how great you were and how good it was to see a band get everyone involved and up dancing. We loved how from the very start you had everyone up dancing to Black Eyed Peas before we came in, it just got everyone out of their comfort zone and from then on the dance floor was packed. We can’t thank you enough and would highly recommend you to all couples getting married in the future. In fact we have already recommended you to our friends who have booked you for July, so can’t wait to see you again then for another great night’s craic. Thanks again

Hi Tommy, Just wanted to send you our greetings from Germany! Aaron and I were reflecting on our wedding and wanted to make sure we let you know how incredible your music was. You and the Big Jigs helped us throw the grandest party! We have received countless compliments about our band and how much everyone enjoyed the Irish music. The traditional dance had us all in stitches we were laughing so hard! Even with only 30 guests, not a single corner of our hall felt empty. If he had the money, Aaron's father commented he would have flown you and the band to the US for our at-home reception so that we could continue such a great party! Many thanks and we hope to see you play again someday!

Hi Lads, We cannot recommend you highly enough for a wedding or any function. From the church music which was elegant, classical and fun to the trad session before the meal the grand piping entrance to the top table finally to a floor that was filled from the first dance to the last tune played.
The Lads are very professional and have a special personal touch which made us feel at ease throughout the day which meant we had no worries about the music for the day. :-)
Thanking You,

We just wanted to say a huge Thank You for the great music you provided for
us at our wedding. I have to say we barely noticed you setting up which was
great, we didn't have to worry about you at all. We got a huge amount of
compliments from the guests. We all really enjoyed the entertainment - I've
never seen Ian on the dancefloor so much! We loved the range of music, the
ceili dance was great and all the ways you created fun with the karaoke and
big group circles really made it a night to remember. We thought you
instructed us really well and It was great that you all joined in with the
craic and banter!

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to people who want great music and
atmosphere to entertain a varied group of family and friends - infact I've
already passed your name on to someone!

We hope all goes well for you in the future and hope to hear you again
sometime,

Thanks again,

Tinakilly House Wicklow

Hi Tommy and Co,
I am finally writing to you to send you the biggest thank you that we can.
From start to finish you made our day so special. The music in the church was magical, setting the perfect tone for us, a relaxed and beautiful ceremony, people really felt it. The music at the reception was like having friends playing away in the corner, (very talented friends that is!!). Playing us in on the bagpipes was so much fun, we were ready for dancing already at that stage. After dinner we were not let down as the real fun began. The band was excellent, everyone was up dancing and having so much fun, I think some people even surprised themselves how much jumping around and laughing they were doing. We were so glad we had the Big Jigs for our wedding, they made our day so much fun giving us great memories, just how we wanted it and more.
We would gladly recommend them to anyone who wants to have great musicians and great craic, a wonderful experience, they made our day.
Thank you so much

Hi Tommy, Just back from our Honeymoon which was fantastic, I just want to write to thank you and your band for a wonderful day and night, from the church music to the reception to the evening and DJ everything was amazing, you got the crowd going, the Ceili was great fun, I thought you would only get two rows up to interchange but there was about 10 rows all giving it socks!! Everybody said it was the greatest wedding ever, the music in the church was amazing, I was nearly in tears. Great professionals and great musicians, I’m even a You Tube star now after getting up to sing!!!!

Just a note of Thanks for being so fantastic at our wedding. We had such fun and everyone told us what fun they had. The Ceili in particular was
hilarious! You really pulled out all the stops at the church too. Best wishes in the future and you get our strong recommendation for all our friend's weddings.

Absolutely brilliant! Celtic Music Agency played at our wedding on Saturday 04th October 2008 - in the church, then the drinks reception, the evening reception and later DJ! We cannot recommend them highly enough. Everyone at the wedding commented on how much they loved the music in the church and later at the reception, the guys really got the crowd going and the Siege of Ennis went down a storm with our Spanish guests! Tommy is an absolute pleasure to deal with and was really helpful with suggestions for the church music. They really added to our day and we are delighted we chose Celtic Music Agency for our wedding. Susanne & David, Carlow October 2008

Sorry I'm only getting round to emailing you now, just wanted to say a big thank you for the beautiful music which was played at the church.
Donagh was fantastic and I'm not sure what the girls name is but she was just out of this world, everyone was complimenting her singing, really made the ceremony very memorable, was definitely our favourite part of the day.

Thanks again, you've been a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend ye.

Best wishes for the future

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the wedding!! You guys were awesome! Everyone commented on what a wonderful time they had dancing and how great
the music was. The Bishop told my husband that you were the best pipes player he has ever heard. We just got back to the US late last night.
The best thing that I heard was from a family friend of ours. He had said "for such a tiny wedding of 21 people the music and dancing made the room
feel like it was three times the crowd and twice as much fun as he's ever had at any other wedding." And this sentiment was shared with us by many of
our guests. Thank you for making our wedding great.

We just got married on the 13th October in Dunlewey, County Donegal & Drew & I just wanted to write a small note to say a MASSIVE thank you to Tommy & the boys for helping to make our wedding so much more special.

From the moment I contacted to Tommy all the way to the end he was completely professional & lovely to deal with. Even when all my plans were going wrong he listened & gave advice - above & beyond the call of duty I'd say. For us the music at our wedding
was so important, If you book The Big Jigs for your wedding you can rest assured that you will not have a single worry.

My husband is English as is all of his friends & family so we wanted to put on a bit of a traditional Irish knees up but try to avoid the cheesy band! I searched the
internet & listened to loads of musicians before choosing The Big Jigs, but as soon as I heard their CD I knew we had to book them. They looked great playing, played from the heart & sounded even better than on their promo cd - absolutely amazing!

We booked them to sing in the Chapel, for the champagne reception then piped into the reception room all the way to the end of the night. The Chapel music was just so special, Tommy then piped Drew & I into the reception in full kilt etc. which was a
roaring success with our friends & family.

We can honestly say with out a doubt that one of the main highlights of the wedding for us was looking around the dance floor during the ceili dances & seeing all of our friends & family smiling & laughing & actually dancing quite well due to all the gentle coaching
from Tommy. I don't think we have ever laughed as hard as when we had the dance off at the end of the night it was hilarious, even more hilarious was seeing the shyest of people throwing some funky shapes on the dance floor - people are still talking about it
now, what a way to end a perfect day.

Words can't say how much we loved the music Tommy, thank you so much to you & the boys for doing such an amazing job we can't recommend you highly enough to anyone who is considering choosing you.

Just a quick note to say thanks a mill for doing a fantastic job at our wedding on August 31st. We had a ball, as did all our guests. You were able to read the
crowd perfectly, a bit of ceili, a few people singing and some great covers. Everybody was raving about ye.
So thanks again for really making our night, we would highly recommend the Big Jigs to anyone.

We cannot recommend Celtic Music Agency highly enough. From the outset they were professional and really helpful. Tommy really took care of everything for us - the music in the church, the reception and the disco. We wanted instrumental music to compliment our wedding ceremony which was all as Gaeilge and people are still talking about how amazing the music was in the church - it really added to the occasion. I definitely recommend Barry's version of Úrchnoic Chein Mhic Cainte for the Psalm, it was outstanding! Like all brides and grooms we were really worried that people wouldn't get up and dance at the reception - but we had no need to worry! The dance floor was packed all night and the music suited all tastes and ages. Celtic Music Agency will be an addition to any wedding and really make your day enjoyable!
Thanks Tommy and lads.

Where can we begin??? The Big Jigs played for us on our wedding day, and the compliments re the music have not stopped coming in! The beautiful traditional airs during our drinks reception had our guests like the paparazzi around the band! I think I can relate to all married-to-be's, in that one of
your greatest fears will be that no-one will get up to dance! Honestly – those fears can be thrown away if you get the Big Jigs! We had hardly finished our first dance and the floor was thronged – and it stayed that way until the end
of the DJ session! The fact that the lads catered for all ages, music styles and mixes, ensured everyone got to dance to '‘their’ music, and thus, ensured a wonderful day for all! If ever we were to renew our vows – we would work around the availability of the Big Jigs! Thanks a million – we couldn’ t recommend you enough!

Tommy, I wanted to take the opportunity of thanking you and the lads for the excellent job you did at our wedding afters. Everybody (and I mean everybody) said how brilliant they thought the band were. As a musician myself, I'd be fairly critical of the quality of bands at most weddings I've been too with their fake keyboard sounds and limply played songs. So I was delighted to see real instruments being played (without being too folky) giving the evening heart and honesty you don't normally get at weddings. I thought there was exactly the right mix of crowd pleasers, some wonderful atmospheric numbers and the classic group dances to get everyone on the dance floor (even my mother got up and she never strays far from her whiskey glass!). Once again thank you for making our day perfect.

Lads ye done an absolute brilliant job for us yesterday, FAB...FAB....FAB.
Everyone has said how brill ye were, anyone out there thinking of a wedding
band....OH MY GOD choose THE BIG JIGS. Pure class. Jude and I can't praise ye
high enough. Stars, your both stars. Thanks again.
