Irish Wedding Bands Dublin: Your Options & Their Costs

Wedding Bands Dublin

Being the biggest and most populated city of Ireland, Dublin has no shortage of excellent entertainment acts. Among them, on the the most frequently sought are wedding bands – as no wedding can be considered complete without one.

Live performers at weddings are nothing new. Indeed, wedding bands have been around for as long as the practice of marriage itself. Wedding musicians have always been in fashions – and they were the only option before the advent of gramophones and, in modern times, high-power and high-performance professional sound systems.

However, wedding bands have clear advantages over pre-recorded wedding music. We will outline some of them below, but most people who read this will already be familiar with them. If you were looking for wedding bands for your wedding in Dublin, you are probably already decided that this is what you’ll book, and are only looking for your options. If this is the case, you can enjoy some sample performances of the top 5 wedding bands available to book in the Dublin area right now – and you can get in touch with us for an instant price quote for any of them.

Live Wedding Bands, the premier source of entertainment for your Dublin-based wedding

The music can make or break a wedding night. If it’s bad, your guests might get bored or even annoyed, and this is the complete opposite of the response you want to get from them. You want everyone to enjoy themselves and remember your marriage party as dearly as you and your partner will.

However, everything changes with a good one. Wedding bands are nowadays incredibly talented because this industry is highly competitive and only the best can survive. This means two things for you: better prices, and out-of-this-world performances.

Having a wedding bands with members who know how to brighten up a party and make people’s legs twitch for a trip to the dance floor is paramount. If you allow us a slight exaggeration, you could serve dog steak and sunflower beer – if you have excellent music, nobody will mind.

We have no control over the food and beverages at your wedding, of course, although we sure hope they’ll be better than that. What we do have a control over is our ability to guide you into making an informed decision when booking a wedding band for your party in (or around) Dublin.

So let’s begin!

Why go for wedding bands instead of wedding DJs?

As you are probably aware, the only two viable options when it comes to your wedding music are live bands and DJs. Both of them come with their advantages and disadvantages, and we want you to be aware of both. This way you can book whatever you feel you should, and have zero regrets about your choice.

Here are the clear benefits of wedding bands:

1. Energizing the crowd is best done in person. When a wedding band jams away throughout the night, it incites a few responses that are very hard to achieve with pre-recorded music: the desire for people to jump onto the dance floor, and the feel that the event is a personal, one-of-a-time kind of thing and attending it is nothing short of a privilege.
2. No matter how good a DJ’s sound system is, a truly special live performer can beat it a hundred percent of the time when it comes to perceived sound quality.
3. Tired newlyweds? It’s understandable after hours upon hours of dancing and drinking, all while managing the party and making sure every guest is happy. Fortunately, musicians can change the tempo and give them a chance to catch their breath.
4. Wedding Bands Dublin come with the gift of interactivity. Even if you can go up to your DJ and whisper them to play your favorite tune, you can likely do the same with a live band and enjoy a unique twist to the song you like so much.
5. Elegance and sophistication is the name of the game when it comes to wedding bands. They don’t just play music, they provide an experience. They have a much bigger emotional impact on your big wedding day and everyone involved.
