Drag Queens.ie 

We all know drag queens get a wedding party going like no other, but sometimes drag artists can fulfil other roles including hosting speeches or a Toast with guests or a master of ceremonies to hold the service together and call family members up – anything is possible and there’s no such thing as a silly question. We work closely with a circle of experienced performers who have tied the knot, called the shots and taken grooms up the aisle!

We can tailor any show or Drag Queen host to suit your wedding. One current trend at weddings is a Drag Queen who surprises guests and makes a big entrance into the room with the song “It should have been me” this hilarious comedy song will have everyone laughing and get the day off to a great start!!

Doctor Zhivago ” Lara’s Theme “  by Maurice Jarre, this went viral with 28 thousand views! I think it’s because it’s one of the most iconic love stories in the movie world and weddings are all about the big romantic day.

“Ave Maria “  by Schubert – Even though this is one of the most traditional classical songs in my wedding repertoire it’s still a big favourite.

“Moondance”  by Van Morrison – I find the wedding couple’s now want more fun modern music to be played at the Wedding Ceremony and Reception. Music they and there friends can relate to.

The Cazettes

Is your wedding music is really important to you? Do you want the dance floor full and to cater to all of your guests at the same time adding the appropriate classics here and there? Then The Cazettes are the wedding band for you!

We’ve had a few little moments with the old content here and there, but by far our biggest viral trend was one of our first content videos – a cover of Let’s Stay Together on youtube.
During covid it absolutely skyrocketed and started going viral in Brazil and the views kept going higher at home and abroad and has over 20,000 views now on youtube.
I think because it’s such a classic song, people were surprised to see a younger band covering it in its original arrangement and vibe. Also, we get a lot of Irish/Brazilian couples booking us, and Brazilians have amazing taste in music – they often love classic soul, jazz and rock, so I have a feeling some of our Brazilian brides and grooms to be were also sharing our work with their families at home in excitement and preparation for their big day!
We’re currently working on new songs for some new videos, something we’re very passionate about. We always shoot and play everything recorded live in one take, so couples can really get a sense of how we will sound in real life. Hopefully we hit another tidal wave with our next song choices!

One of my favourite trend I’m seeing at the moment is couples picking songs that they loved as teenagers but shaking them up to be wedding appropriate!
