Ireland’s Top Wedding Bands [Part Five]: Men In Black

Planning & Advice

When showcasing Ireland’s best wedding bands, we couldn’t leave off a Wedding Band of the Year finalist for 2018/2019! That’s right, today we’re looking at Men In Black.

Specialising in wedding and corporate event entertainment, The Men In Black have been on the Irish music scene for over 10 years and are rocking the dance floor with all of their greatest dance hits!!

The ‘Men in Black’ band feature double sax, keyboard, electric guitar, conga’s, drums and percussion. All members feature on vocals with stunning harmonies.
We cater for Weddings, Corporate Events, Dinner Dances, all types of Birthday and Anniversary celebrations and parties. We play to the crowd and more importantly we entertain like no other band on the circuit. The Men In Black don’t just play music we really put on a fabulous show. So, if you’re looking to go that extra mile for your special day look no further.

Our success to date has been based on our ability to get all of our Guests up on the dance floor enjoying themselves! We pride ourselves on being experienced to adapt to different situations.
All band members dress in black custom-made dinner suits, black ties, black shirts and the famous Men In Black hats.
We have invested over €30,000 in our PA, stage and lighting presentation, offering the best possible quality audio equipment with our own sound engineer present at every event.

We also have full redundancy back up on all our sound equipment – so you (and we) can have 100% peace of mind. #withmibitspersonal!

Building a relationship with our couple prior to the big day is key for us, every couple is different, they have different requirements and we believe it’s essential to spend time with them from six weeks lead-up to their big day. We discuss favourite song choices, least favourite song choices, individual names of all their bridal party, location of their hens/stag parties, where & when they first met, length of their engagement, Guests attending Counties/Countries, special mentions, work colleagues. By finding out this information it helps us to totally personalise their wedding event & our performance. Our objective for every wedding couple is to provide them with a unique unforgettable magical experience.
