We had Irish House Party Band play for our wedding and all I can say is CLASS!! Declan and lads are dead sound and they play such a wide range of songs so there's a tune for everyone. The overall feel is pure mighty craic when you hear them and see everyone up trying to do their jigs and reels! My father in law (who didn't want to have a band originally) is raving about how much he loved them saying that we weren't good enough dancers to keep up them as they were that brilliant! That's very high praise from him by the way!! Thank ye so much for bringing so much craic to our day!!

When my partner, now wife, said that she thought a trad band would be a great addition to the reception, I thought she was mad! I was worried that all our guests would just be sat around tapping their feet and drumming their fingers. My fears were unfounded. The band were incredible, playing traditional Irish music and contemporary pop hits in their own inimitable style. Don't take my word from it, one of our guests from Lithuania couldn't stop posting content to her stories about the band and has demanded that all future weddings enlist their services. Friends and family said it was one of the best night's they'd had, the perfect remedy after 2 years of isolation. The DJ who followed them was left with an empty dance floor for half the night because everyone was exhausted from dancing and laughing so much! Thank you guys for an incredible night.

The Irish House Party played at day two of our wedding and they were nothing short of brilliant. They took requests from us and had a group of tired people (who were up until 4am and 5am the night before) up dancing and cheering and having a great time. The lads were all a pleasure to deal with and had us all buzzing. Couldn't recommend them more!

We recently had the pleasure of having The Irish House Party play at our wedding, and they were absolutely phenomenal! From the very first moment, they exceeded our expectations and helped create a truly magical experience.
During the ceremony, their traditional Irish music added a touch of elegance and emotion that perfectly complemented the occasion. It was truly breathtaking and made the ceremony even more special.
But The Irish House Party truly came alive at the reception. Their energy was infectious! They had everyone – from young to old – up on the dance floor, laughing, singing along, and having an absolute blast. The band's incredible talent and engaging personalities created a unique and unforgettable atmosphere.
We cannot recommend The Irish House Party highly enough. They are true professionals who are passionate about their music and dedicated to making your event a success. If you're looking for a band that will get your guests moving and create memories that will last a lifetime, look no further!

The Irish House Party Band were absolutely the perfect choice for our wedding reception! We wanted a unique blend of Irish music, ceili dance and contemporary hits for all of our international guests to enjoy, and they delivered beyond our expectations. The band’s incredible talent and energy created an unforgettable atmosphere.
We especially loved the ceili dancing lessons, as did our guests. It was such a fun and interactive way to get everyone involved - it was so much crazy dancing fun on the dancefloor, absolutely unique and we can only recommend it to every couple getting married to have ceili with the Irish House Party Band at their wedding! Our ceili caller was fantastic and even threw in an amazing Irish dancing solo that blew everyone away!
One of the highlights of the night was when the band invited guests to sing with them. My husband and I had the time of our lives singing "Dreams" and "Wonderwall" with the band. The entire room was singing along, and the energy was electric!
Communication with the band was a breeze, and they were incredibly professional throughout the planning process. We can’t recommend them highly enough! If you want a wedding reception that everyone will be talking about, book The Irish House Party Band! They will undoubtedly get the party started!

These guys are sensational! A brilliant mix of trad and rock which got the party going. So easy going too- accompanied guests who wanted to sing us songs with ease. So talented-clearly very accomplished musicians who had the whole dance floor learning Irish dancing or crying to the old songs. Would 100% recommend! 5 ?? all the way!

The Irish House Party did all the music for our wedding drinks reception and evening reception. Incredible musicians. Energetic and engaging performances with blends of traditional Irish, contemporary and old classics. Perfect band for a big event as their musical style will appeal to a wide audience. They were the highlight of our wedding reception. We had over 130 guests and the band had every one of them up dancing and laughing from the start. Very responsive and professional. Can't recommend them enough.

We hired the Irish House Party Band to provide the music for our daughter's wedding. They arrived on time and provided a great mix of traditional Irish music during the pre-dinner reception. After the meal they provided several hours of outstanding music and singing. In addition, one of their team was an expert Irish dancer and she gave us several beautiful demonstrations of solo Irish dancing (Riverdance quality !!!). She then called us all on to the dance floor and demonstrated how to do a number of c?il? dances (Siege of Ennis, etc). Before long we were all ?experts? and having a great time dancing to the music.
They are a group of amazing musicians and many of our guests thought they were the best they had ever heard.
I absolutely recommend them to any person or group who need great music played at their events. And I would definitely recommend the beautiful Irish dancer to be included to demonstrate her Irish dancing skills (if you have a space for dancing available at your event).

They brought a really upbeat mood to the room and were banging out the tunes. I could see the legs tapping around me and it was a great start to the rest of the day. Gerry was very professional throughout the hiring process, I only wish I hired them for longer. Thanks for making the day so special.

Declan and the team from Irish House Party were the most wonderful part of our wedding. They welcomed guests with their beautiful musical talents, as we wanted a nod to our beautiful Irish musical culture. They also played sincerely and gently during our ceremony, which was my favourite part of our special day. Afterwards they got the party going with more gorgeous and lively music. Our guests were full of compliments for the music and our flower girls especially loved showing off their dance moves to their music. I found Declan such a professional to deal with. They provided a list of suggested music and were also so flexible with our requests. We only wish we had another opportunity to hear these guys again!! Thank you so much for being such a great part of our special day.

Declan and Two other musicians played at our Church for our wedding day. I always knew I wanted traditional Irish music and Instrumental. The guys did not disappoint, we chose a few contemporary pieces and they sounded amazing. I loved when people came up to tell me it was Haunting and left them with goosebumps!! Our Wedding Mass was my favourite part of our day and The Irish House Party played a big role in making that happen! I can't wait to listen to them all again when we get the Video. Thanks again..

From the outset they were so engaging, accommodating and responsive, not to mention incredibly talented! They played a mixture of traditional tunes and modern songs on a variety of instruments- harp, whistle, uilleann pipes and guitar and they also accompanied three soloists from our wedding party without any stress. They enhanced our celebration so much and all of our guests were raving about them. We would recommend the Irish House Party to anyone! Thanks so much lads????

It was a wonderful idea to have the Irish House party perform at our wedding! We first saw them at a performance in Dublin and we so captivated by the show that we booked them for our wedding a year later! There was a duo (harp and flute) that performed during our ceremony, then a trio at the reception. The guests loved them! Finally we had an after-dinner performance as well. It was fun, since the group had our guests get involved in learning some Irish dances. Overall a great experience and one that I would recommend for any wedding!

Feel so incredibly lucky to have had the Irish House Party play at our drinks reception. We were fortunate to have a great day weather wise so the guys got to play outside and they atmosphere they created was just unreal. Everyone from my 92 year old grandmother to my 2 year old nephew were foot tapping and loving the music. Every single guest asked who were they and how did we find them. Such an easy process from booking right through to when they arrived at the venue. I would recommend anyone to have them at your wedding. They made a perfect day even more perfect! Would really love to get down to Dublin to see them again! Thanks again!

When sourcing our music for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception we wanted to find a band that would play traditional Irish but also contemporary. We were planning our wedding from our home in Australia. When we stumbled across The Irish House Party online we thought there's no way they will come the whole way to Tipperary for a relatively small wedding considering they have performed at such large events. We thought wrong. Declan and his team did an outstanding job. Our guests commented on how the tone for the day was set by the fabulous music played by these guys. Our Australian and Irish guest alike enjoyed it immensely. If we could do it all over again the Irish house Party would definitely be my choice. Thank you for being so accommodating and so humble.
