I s'pose it depends on where you are based really... We are in Galway, getting married in Mayo, and we are having 'Oddity' - and we think they are fab! We've seen them on numerous occasions, and they never fail to entertain!! They are organising music for the ceremony, the reception and a dj, so we are delighted...
I've also heard that the 'Weightless Astronauts' are meant to be very good...

We are having "the great escape".I hear great reports about them on here also check out "the bestmen" and "the goodfella's".where are you from? When are you getting married? My fsil is getting married may 2012 and she can't get any band she likes as they are all booked out! She's been enquiring since I'd say September 2010!

We're having Quantum. Keys player is a friend of my brothers. I've actually never heard them play as a band but have heard some of the members play in other bands they're in so I know they're all high calibre musicians. Am fairly confident that they'll be good and also we got mates rates which is never to be sniffed at I guess...

I opened this thread specifically to recommend Quantum.
They are AWWWWWEEESOME! Best covers band Ive EVER come across.
Ive seen 5th Avenue at two weddings also and they are excellent too.

Getting married in Galway, but our hotel is in Athlone so I suppose we are kind of central, hoping travel won't be an issue with some bands.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far

We have weightless astronauts. Heard them at a wedding before and loved them. Didn't even look at any other bands!
