I just wanted to say thank you very much to you all for the amazing music all day and night for us.
The band and DJ kept the dancefloor full and everyone had a great time. Great selection of music and really suited both the younger and older crowd.
We booked you having seen you play at my sister and cousin's weddings, and people at our own wanted to keep your name for the same reason.
Also to Lucy for her beautiful singing in the church. It made the ceremony very special for both of us. Everyone said how amazing her voice was and cant get over how she can sing such a range of songs so effortlessly.

We had the Ball and Chain Wedding Band for both our wedding band and DJ services. While the band's music sounded great, their behaviour on the night of our wedding was very disappointing. They made inappropriate comments about our guests on the dance floor, particularly singling out one of our guests.
In the days following the wedding, we received feedback from our guests, who expressed how rude the band had been and how they had declined song requests. To add to this, our best man asked the band to sing "Happy Birthday" to the groom at midnight, as it was his birthday the day after the wedding. The band made a significant fuss about this request and even hesitated to comply initially.
A concerning incident occurred on the dance floor when someone accidentally knocked themselves and two other guests to the ground. One of the guests affected was a woman in her 60s who hit her head on a step and required medical attention. I personally approached the band, requesting that they stop playing momentarily to ensure everyone's safety, but they refused to do so.
Their social media presence claims they "specialise in crowd interaction," but our experience clearly contradicted this claim. They were the only vendor we were not satisfied with on our wedding day. I would not recommend them for your wedding.

Response from Ball and Chain Wedding Band
Hi Marie, very sorry to hear this.
I'm not sure what level of interaction you were expecting, but your wedding guests got the exact same thing as hundreds of other very Very happy couples including the dance off and sing off which I remember the majority of your guests loving and the floor was never empty.
I remember the fall happening, firstly, we couldn't see what happened exactly as it was around the corner from us, so we wernt sure what had actually happened, secondly, nobody explicitly told us to stop, but we did actually pause of our own initiative and asked "was everyone ok".
When we then restarted, if that was inappropriate then surely someone would have/should have came up and told us to stop, but that didn't happen, apologies for that, but like I said, we didn't actually see or know what happened.
Yes we were requested to sing happy birthday and we did, it might not have happened immediately, but it did happen.
In relation to rude comments;
I believe you're referring to one particular gentleman that was in a very Very "festive" mood. On two separate occasions he disrupted our performance, firstly we asked him to stop riding a chair across the dancefloor like a horse.
Secondly, we asked he stopped interrupting the dance off.
If any comments were offensive to anyone, I can only apologise for that and it wasn't intentional at all, probably an attempt at humour that misfired so sorry for that.
If some requests were made for the dj and didn't happen, sorry but this happens with every single dj set in the country.
There's an art to knowing what to play and when to play it, this is why you pay for the pro, experienced dj. If he didn't deem a request appropriate, then that's his call, not every request is gonna be fulfilled and it would be unreasonable to assume so.
We will take your comments on board sincerely, and I do hope (from what I seen I do think) that the majority of your guests had a decent time with us.
Again, very sorry you're not happy, and thank you for the constructive criticism.
All the best for the future.
Kind regards, Kevin

Ball and Chain are a great wedding band and we highly recommend them to all. From when we say them online, to the wedding showcase to the wedding day itself they have been nothing short of perfect. The band were great with communicating and even learning a song or two for us which we greatly appreciate.The amount of compliments we got from everyone about them from all ages and different music tastes shows that they cater to all. They had everyone on the floor from the moment the music started until the DJ was finished. There was a delay with the ceremony time (Road works etc.) and there wasnt a complaint at all from them which we will always be grateful for. Lucy's voice for the ceremony was one word that kept coming up again and again perfect. It was more then we expected. For the drinks reception, we were lucky to be outside with the weather and Kevin and Lucy kept the atmosphere going and everyone loved their voices together. The band even got some games going with the crowd and allowed a famiy member to sing at the end of the night (She can sing so it was ok). We couldn't have asked for more jumping, jiving and singing our hearts out from any other band and highly recommend to everyone with an occasion coming up.

We heard about Ball and Chain from a family friend and we are so lucky we did. They were lovely to deal with and very accommodating. On the day they played an amazing set and the dance floor was full the entire night! They had great energy and constantly interacted with the crowd which really added to the experience and I couldn't recommend any more highly.

Ball and Chain were absolutely amazing! We didn’t leave the dancefloor all night!
The band was very professional, they had great package options to suit all types of weddings – we booked them for the after-dinner music and DJ set. They set up quickly and had everyone dancing immediately.
We booked the band originally in 2020 but had to reschedule due to restrictions, and they were very accommodating and made the booking process very easy for us.
Their setlist was great and had something for everyone. Our guests particularly liked the 90’s dance tracks and the synth! So much so, that some of our guests tried to book Ball and Chain for their own weddings as they were packing their equipment away.
We honestly hope to see Ball and Chain again at another wedding in the near future, and would not hesitate for a second to recommend them for yours.

We are so glad that we chose Ball and Chain for our full wedding day. Lucys voice really made our ceremony and she was very helpful with ideas for suitable music throughout the ceremony.
All of our guests kept commenting on how excellent the music was throughout the day. Kevin and Lucy really set the atmosphere for the drinks reception.
Although we had restricted numbers at the venue the band really made us forget that and it was almost impossible to leave the dancefloor. They were able to do a fantastic version of our first dance song which made it feel so personal to us. The DJ kept the dancing going and ive never seen a more lively version of riverdance in Ireland!
We really couldnt recommend Ball and Chain highly enough. We would like to say thank you for really making our day.

Ball and Chain were the third wedding band we went to see and booked them straight after. We had them for the band and DJ. They were always quick to respond and very helpful with any questions we had beforehand and turned up early on the day to be ready for whenever we needed them. We had an absolute blast on the night and the dancefloor was always busy, even with it being a small wedding. All the guests had a great time and were raving about the band afterwards. Couldn't recommend them enough!!

Really good selection of music for all tastes. They are all very talented musicians and i especially liked the way they interacted with the crowd and got everyone involved. This isnt only my opinion, our guests are still on about how great they were.
They were a pleasure to deal with throughout. All the best in the future guys and keep up the good work.

So responsive from the get go. Complete stress free planning with them. The ceremony music was magical, the drinks reception music kept everyone upbeat and from the time they started playing after the meal until they finished in the early hours of the morning the dance floor was full, they really know how to judge a crowd. Our guests were full of compliments afterwards. Thanks again guys, loved it!!

We had Ball and Chain perform at our wedding last month and they were absolutely sensational. They had our dance floor full from start to finish with their incredible set list. There are songs for everyone at every age and even our guest who won’t dance couldn’t stay away from the dance floor!
We booked Lucy to sing at our church ceremony and she took our breath away. Lucy has the most stunning voice and her performance made our mass extra special. There wasn’t a guest at the wedding who didn’t ask about and compliment her breathtaking voice and performance.
We asked for Andrew to perform at the drinks reception and he was excellent. He captured the vibe of the crowd perfectly and had our guests entertained while they waited on the meal. We also booked Kevin as our DJ and he was amazing! He kept those floor fillers coming until we couldn’t dance anymore!
We cannot recommend Ball and Chain enough!

Their set list caters for all ages with a fantastic mix of classics and chart music. Everyone commented how amazing the band were and guests of ours have already booked them for their own big day.

They played something for everyone's taste and were great at interacting with the crowd.

Kevin was so easy to deal with and very responsive throughout.
We had the pleasure of having Lucy for the ceremony. Her voice is out of this world with a few guests assuming it was a recording before seeing her on the piano. She learned a new song for us and sang it to perfection.

I would highly recommend this band to everyone ??

Ball and Chain played at our wedding in March and were fantastic!
They played such a good mix of music, to suit everyone and had us up dancing all night.
We couldn't have chosen a better band.

We had the pleasure of Ball and Chain as our band at our recent wedding in Lough Erne on 18/12/2021.
Honestly couldn’t have asked for better, dance floor didn’t empty all night and the guys were so easy to deal with.
Would highly recommend, and every guest at our wedding said they were the best wedding band they had seen.
Thanks folks,
Niall and Jenna

had the Ball and chain band for our wedding at Ballymagarvey Village last year, and what's the 1st thing people say everytime when the wedding comes up other than "How's married life?" it's "omg wasn't the band amazing!" just save your self the hassle and book them, you won't regret it and probably will if you didn't book them them lol.

What can I say about these guys other than truly amazing. They played out our wedding in the ardboyne Hotel and I couldn't be happier with how the night went. My guests had a great time and loved the variety of music that was played. Having had to postpone due to covid and trying to reschedule i was over the moon when they could do our new date and they were well worth the wait. We also had Andrew stay for dj once the band finished up and no request was too small. Kevin was a pleasure to deal with having to facilitate the changes and any questions I had was no problem. I just hope I have the pleasure of seeing them play again soon, I highly recommend these guys 100 % and wish them the best of luck for their future gigs..... Brides and grooms, you won't be disappointed I assure you

Ball and Chain what a class act.
From the music at the reception, Kevin was able to warm the mixed crowd of people we had. We loved their version of John Legend, All of Me, as our first song and from then forth every song the band played had the crowd dancing. They kindly were able to do a special request song for us called Everlong by Foo Fighters and they played it superbly and got the crowd going even more! They are all incredible muscians and put a flawless peformance on for us. We were so pleased as was the wedding crowd. We had fun with the Irish dancing and the 90's raving inbetween too, such a laugh! The kids out performed many of us with their pure energetic moves to the music!
The DJ set was with Andrew after and what a gentleman! He took on a bunch of requests to remix for us, much to everyone's delight! This band will endeavour to cater for everyones taste with pure class performance. I'm still humming to and Bruce Springsteen. Only wish it went on for longer !! xxx Thanks again guys, hope to catch ya again in a pub or even better at another wedding , sending love Ita and Alex xx

A massive thank you to Ball & Chain, they played at our wedding on the 10th of October. From the minute they started playing to their very last song they had everyone up on the dance floor! Every song they played seemed to just get better & better as the night went on, they played a bit of everything to suit the crowd but I have to say their 90’s dance mix was my favourite part of the night, our wedding guests just went mad for it!
We can’t recommend them enough, lovely people to deal with and would love to attend many more weddings that they play at because they are just top class.
Thanks a million for a fantastic night, Michelle & Eoin x

Hi Kevin
I just want to say a massive thank you from myself and Ian. All our guests haven’t stopped raving about the band and of course Lucy singing in the church.
So happy we booked you’s for the full package, so easy to deal with.
You guys made our wedding and there was a lot of sore feet the morning after. The dance floor was never empty and the dance off was the icing on the cake.
Thanks for everything

We had the pleasure of having the Ball and Chain do our wedding on Dec 17th 2021 in the Brandon House in New Ross. The band/DJ put on an incredible show.
Every tune was a banger and we couldn't have asked for better entertainment for our big day. All our guests were raving about them.
It was a pleasure dealing with them throughout Covid and would recommend them to anyone for their wedding

We were blessed to be able to have Ball and Chain perform at our Wedding on 10th July 2021. We couldn’t have asked for a better band and DJ, the music was phenomenal and they had everyone on the dance floor all night - exactly what you want on your big day and they made everything that extra bit special. The jigs were epic and the craic was mighty! We cannot wait to be invited to another wedding they’re performing at. Thanks guys for everything, you were so easily contactable and understanding, we were so lucky to be able to have a band even during COVID and we could totally see how much you LOVE performing and missed it. We were thrilled to have you on our BIG DAY and recommend you over and over. If you want a band that will get everyone up and be THE BEST CRAIC just book Ball and Chain and we promise you’ll have the best night. Kate and Nathan x
