A dream team! Literally, they were brilliant from start to finish. I enjoyed the ceremony so much as the Bride as I blissfully listened to them. We had so many compliments from guests, and even people who couldn't be there but watch online. Caroline is so easy to deal with, everything was relaxed. I highly recommend them, and can't wait to get the wedding video to listen to in action again! 5* for sure.

The Secret Chord added a touch of class to our wedding day. Their music and it's delivery exactly captured what we had imagined for our wedding service. It's hard to fully capture in words how beautiful the music was but we really encourage you to check out their website to listen to them. Caroline was absolutely amazing to deal with from start to finish. We have no hesitation in recommending this trio for your wedding day. MJ & Jen Ryan

"Absolutely thrilled with The Secret Chord's performance at our wedding! Their rendition of Amazing Grace was a standout, and they effortlessly accommodated all our song requests. The band's easy-going nature made planning a breeze, and they even surprised us with the beautiful addition of 'Halo.' Highly recommend for a stress-free and delightful musical experience!"

After researching many musicians we decided to book the secret Chord who were available thankfully. We really liked their website which gave us a great insight into their experience and they had lots of sample music with a great selection of different songs/ music to choose from. Caroline manages the bookings and my interactions with her were very engaging and pleasant from the start. Nothing was a issue, I wanted a specific tune going down the aisle which they accommodated no problem. We had to push back our ceremony due to unforseen circumstances and they were so sympathetic and understanding which was very much appreciated. Most importantly the singing and music was amazing! It actually made us quite emotional which was very unexpected but lovely( we re not generally emotional people). Many of our guests commented on what a great job they did. We highly recommend The secret Chord they are just a joy to listen to and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

The Secret Chord provided our ceremony music. We really wanted a violin as part of our ceremony music and found The Secret Chord after some research. And I'm so glad we did! Caroline was amazing to deal with from our very first contact, nothing was an issue and always so responsive and helpful. Caroline's voice is just beautiful and complimented so well by the music. We absolutely loved it and so many of our guests commented on the beautiful music after the ceremony. I would highly recommend!

The secret Chord provided our ceremony music for our wedding in December 2021. Carolines vocals were absolutely stunning and complimented so well by the music. We wanted a mixture of traditional Irish, hymns and Christmas music, and every genre was beautifully performed by Caroline and the musicians. From the moment I got in contact with Caroline, they were accommodating, responsive and helpful in the lead up to our wedding. We cannot recommend them enough!

I had heard Caroline singing in Lahinch Church at Christmas Eve mass previously and was adamant that we would have her group for our Church wedding music and vocals. Caroline and her group of musicians were absolutely brilliant from the moment we booked our date with them. We decided on our music choices and just emailed our list to Caroline in the run up to our wedding. They were really stress free to deal with and this makes such a difference in the lead up as theres so much more going on. They were at the church well ahead of the service and even the practice was beautiful to listen to as I waited patiently for my bride. Caroline is a great vocalist and the musicians were a pleasure to listen to. I would highly recommend them for your special day. Thanks again, Kieran & Bernie

We had The Secret Chord play at our wedding ceremony and during our drinks reception after in August this year. We can not recommend them enough for anybody who is looking to have music at their wedding. Caroline was a pleasure to deal with from when we first began planning right up to the day of the wedding, even learning songs for us that we had requested. The amount of comments we had received from our wedding guests to say how good they were was unbelievable and both as a couple were so happy we picked them, They were absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend The Secret Chord!

From the outset, Caroline was the most lovely lady to deal with. Nothing was ever an issue for her and we always sensed that our happiness was her priority. We were absolutely blessed to have Caroline, Quentin and Ciaran perform at our wedding ceremony. From the first time that we heard Caroline's most beautiful voice, we knew that we had found the perfect group to perform at our wedding. The singing and musical performances on the day were absolutely magical. I cannot express in words how Declan and I felt as we listened to each song/piece of music. We whispered to each other so many times about how incredible we thought The Secret Chord were. We honestly couldn't have asked for more, and as the ceremony was a very important part of our day to us, we feel so grateful to the Secret Chord for helping to make our wedding dreams come true. Any couple who is lucky enough to have them perform at their wedding, are exceptionally fortunate indeed.

Can't rate these guys highly enough. Amazing musicians and vocalists, and just lovely lovely people!
We mainly dealt with Caroline, and found her to be so accommodating and responsive. Going above and beyond learning newly released songs that we wanted included in our Ceremony. Even adapting one particular song to make it more relevant to us. We were blown away by their sound on the day.
Truly cant recommend them highly enough... wish we could do it all again with them!

We booked the Secret Chord well over a year ago for our wedding and we were delighted with our choice. Caroline was so professional, kind and helpful the couple of times that we made contact. She was open to song suggestions we had and even learned our song off that I walked down the aisle to without hesitation. I had been told by a couple of people that you wont hear any of the music that it goes over your head but I have to say I heard most of the songs it was great to hear what we had chosen and sang so beautifully. Many commented on the music and song choice throughout the day.
I would not hesitate to recommend the secret chord, thanks very much guys for making our day extra special. I especially loved hearing Ed Sheeran (photograph) as I waited at the back door with my dad. Thanks so much.

All our guests thought their performance was outstanding. From start to finish Caroline was a pleasure to deal with. Her easy manner, warmth, guidance and willingness to learn new songs made planning the ceremony music stress free. We would highly recommend The Secret Chord if you are looking for something special and truly memorable.

From the moment I met Caroline and the group I was impressed with the service and professionalism they displayed. Caroline is the singer and there is also Quentin who plays the guitar and Yuki who plays the violin. Caroline gave me a sample CD to listen to their music and replied to my many emails and provided as much information as I needed about different song choices and advice about when they should be played throughout the ceremony. I asked Caroline about two songs that were not on her list of songs and it was no problem for them. The group learned both songs for my wedding day. From walking into the church and hearing the beautiful music I knew I was in good hands. My wedding ceremony was a pleasure to listen to and each and every song was performed to the highest standard. I would highly recommend The Secret Chord to any bride or groom to be. You are in for a huge treat.

There is no way to describe how amazing it felt to walk down the aisle to Secret Chord's music. From beginning to end they were amazing and lifted the whole church.

We very much enjoyed the Secret Chord as our wedding ceremony band. Caroline was extremely easy to work with and has a very professional but relaxed manner. The music was commented on by many of the guests and the Secret Chord more than fulfilled our wishes and expectations. They granted our every request concerning the music selection and greatly added to a beautiful ceremony. The combination of instruments and Caroline's beautiful voice made our day very special. We would highly recommend them for any wedding ceremony.

I booked The Secret Chord for my wedding as I had heard they were very talented and when I saw them play at another wedding I attended. I have since seen them play very intimate venues and large churches and they were incredible at all weddings I saw them play at. Caroline was so professional to deal with and no request was too much trouble.
