BEST WEDDING BAND EVER!! I never thought I'd have a Motown band at my wedding but when I saw the girls perform in the sugar club I fell in love with their energy, dance moves and amazing performances. I knew I had to have them. Well let me tell you, they have to be one of the best wedding bands in Ireland, the energy was electric, the dance floor was packed all night and they had everyone from my 16 year old cousin to my 70 year old aunt busting moves on the dance floor. That's the beauty of the Dionnes, their music appeals to everyone. Their modern covers were epic as well, and their version of Beyonce's Crazy in Love as their last song was actually one of my highlights of the whole day (I may have actually cried with happiness a little!) Every guest said they were the best wedding band they had ever seen. Even my older uncles admitted this! My musician friends were in awe of the band and brass section. And one of my best friends booked them the following week for her own wedding! I couldn't recommend them enough AND they even did a costume change. True professionals!

What's a fantastic night. The Dionnes surpassed our expectations in every way. They kept the floor filled all night and were a pleasure to deal with right from when we first met them. Couldn't stop dancing! If we could give higher then a five we would!!

It is most difficult to describe just how good The Dionnes were at our wedding. Their Motown/Soul/Funk was out of control and just up our street. Loved the big sound from the brass and the three singers. Their style is just fantastic. So many guests told us the band were amazing.
If you end up booking them then you are in for a serious treat my friend. It will be the best decision you will have made that day.
All the best to The Dionnes in the future. We hope our paths may cross again.

Great band. Really responsive while booking and total pros on stage. We got loads of comments from guests on how fab the girls voices and the musicians were. Would absolutely recommend if you love Motown and Soul music

Absolutely outstanding band - great to work with, extremely professional, such nice people, and their performance really made our wedding reception superb. The number of compliments and enquiries we received from guests about the band was huge and we were so glad to have chosen them. They simply rocked! We hadn't initially planned on having a live band at all, but we are so glad we went with the Dionnes as it just wouldn't have been the same without them. Everyone's dancing shoes were worn out!! Can't thank them enough x
Response from The Dionnes
Thanks Liz and Gary! We loved performing at your fairytale wedding! What a beautiful and magical location. Hope you had a wonderful honeymoon and that we'll see you at a gig soon! Xx
