Exciting, versatile and certainly not your average string trio, Inishlacken Strings was born out of not only a love of string music but an intent to make your wedding truly unique. 

We are based in Dublin but travel Leinster wide 

We would love to hear from you so please do reach out today!

In addition to strings, we also offer piano (solo or with other musicians where available)

Shane was a dream to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better violinist for our wedding. From the very beginning, he was so easy to work with and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. He took the time to help us prepare for the ceremony and made everything feel effortless.

He played every song we requested beautifully, and the music created such a special atmosphere.

We're so grateful for the part he played in making our church ceremony so memorable. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely lovely wedding musician.

Not a wedding but the gang performed some stunning music as we launched the Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride Festival and really added to the atmosphere with their own interpretation of songs to fit our theme and vibe.

Shane and the team at Inishlacken Strings played during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at Horetown House this May. They played so beautifully and had such a wonderfully mixed repertoire - there was something for everyone! Shane was so great to work with coming up to the wedding - from my first inquiry email he was so responsive and helpful. We couldn't recommend Inishlacken Strings enough!

We are so lucky to have found Shane by a quick Google search for our destination wedding in Dublin, Ireland. From the beginning, he was so kind and very responsive, offering a variety of musicians to suit our vibe. We went with the quartet and wouldn’t have it any other way. They were absolutely perfect! They played a mix of popular hits and traditional wedding tunes. They learned 3 American songs for us (Power of Love, Wagon Wheel, and Feathered Indians) for us to walk down the aisle to, and it was magical! The first time I cried during the wedding. I wish they were in the States, so we could hear them again and again! Or, we’ll just have to visit again. Forever in our hearts… Thank you!

Shane & Meabh played at my wedding in City Hall and they were a dream to deal with from start to finish. All communication with them was easy and reassuring. I initially wasn't sure that string music alone could bring my vision to life - I wasn't sure that the style of songs I wanted could work without vocals and more instruments. Shane truly surprised me with the range of songs they have done and could do. He made me feel comfortable that what I wanted could be achieved. They were so easy to work with and the music on the day was magical. Just beautiful - I would highly recommend to anyone.

Couldn’t recommend these talented guys enough, we first saw them at a family wedding and once the first song was played I knew I had to have them at my own. The music played added such a special ambiance and all guests commented on how amazing they were.
They were also unbelievably accommodating with the songs we wanted played. If you are planning a wedding get onto these guys you won’t regret it !!

Shane was so awesome to work with! His communication was great and was so helpful in answering any questions that I had and was flexible when I wanted to go from a duo to a trio for our wedding day. I was able to send over a list of songs about a month before the wedding and they played all of them beautifully at the ceremony. Having them play during our ceremony and drinks reception made the experience so memorable (especially with the acoustics in our venue!) Couldn't recommend more!

We hired Inishlacken strings for my sisters ceremony and it was just magical! They played stunning music and could play almost anything we asked for. Safe to say I had tears when she walked down the aisle, mainly to the beautiful string version of Enya ‘Only time’ would definitely book again for my future wedding ;)

Incredibly talented and lovely to deal with from the get go. Inishlacken Strings provided us with a list of commonly selected music but also catered to all our music requests for our ceremony- from classical music to modern tunes. It was beautiful and was a real highlight of our ceremony. Guests commented on the incredible music and we felt so lucky to have them there.

Shane and team played at our wedding and they were just brilliant! We wanted them to play with the church choir and they even practiced together and performed new songs together.

Communication with Shane was so easy and he was always so responsive.

On the day of the wedding itself the music was such a hit with our guests and it really lit up the whole church ceremony.

Thanks so much Inishlacken Strings. ??

Inishlacken Strings played at our small church ceremony and were awesome. They are very talented musicians but were also so accommodating, cool, professional, helpful, sound, and all round brilliant. They can play anything, their music was beautiful and they played a big part in helping to make our little ceremony magical for us. I'm only sorry I didn't record the ceremony to have captured the music!

Words can not describe the happiness and joy that Innislaken strings brought to our wedding day.
We made last minute changes to our wedding play list and this was not an issue for isishlaken, Booking this group was the most stress free part of our wedding, Shane & Meabh where so accomodating and a joy to collaborate with. I would highly recommend them everyone on the day commented on how beautiful & talented they were.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

Shane & co were absolutely spectacular. We had IS as a quartet at our ceremony and drinks reception and our guests could not get enough of them. Additionally, Shane was just wonderful in the lead-up to the event ? open to song suggestions, happy to help come up with ideas, and just a true pro. We forgot to pick music for our handfasting ceremony, but the quartet surprised us with a version of "With or Without You" that will live in my memory forever. We're so grateful and cannot recommend them enough!

Shane,

I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional performance you gave at our wedding. Your violin music added an enchanting and unforgettable touch to our special day.

The beauty and elegance of your playing created an atmosphere of pure magic in the church. Each piece you performed was not only executed with incredible skill but also with deep emotion, which resonated with us and our guests. Your talent and artistry truly elevated the entire ceremony.

Many of our guests have commented on how moved they were by your music, and we couldn't agree more. Your performance was a highlight of our day and provided the perfect backdrop for such a significant moment in our lives.

Thank you for sharing your remarkable gift with us. Your contribution made our wedding day even more special and memorable. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had you as part of our celebration.

I could not recommend you more as the perfect addition to any brides day

Thank you

Shane was such a pleasure to deal with. He knew exactly the vibe we were after from our first conversation and created the perfect playlist for us.
Inishlacken are such talented musicians with a unique style. They created a fun atmosphere at the reception and the music they played for the ceremony was magic! We had great feedback from our guests and some of our friends and relatives have booked them for their own weddings.
Thanks so much guys!

We dealt with Shane when booking and corresponding with Inishlacken Strings. Shane is really sound and understood exactly the type of music and vibe we were looking for. We had so much positive feedback about the music at our ceremony in City Hall. The guys also played during our drinks reception afterwards. They were simply wonderful. We also found them to be more affordable than other options out there in terms of string music. I would highly recommend!

Can't recommend Inishlacken Strings enough. Such a professional, friendly and flexible (and not to mention supremely talented) group. I wanted to stray from the traditional church music and I was so happy with how accommodating they were-they seemed to know every song I threw at them. They really made the day so special for us, the music was beautiful and so many of our friends commented on the selection. I was late to the church (being the bride) and guests said they started playing early- some Christmas songs to get the crowd going-now that's what you want on your wedding day!
