Brenda was not only a beautiful singer for our ceremony, but she was a DELIGHT to interact with in the days and weeks leading up. She coordinated with our string quartet independently and handled everything for us. She performed all the hymns we chose beautifully. Would highly recommend!

So many of our wedding guests have asked since Thursday who our harpist and singer was. We are still getting so many compliments about Brenda. Brenda performed at our wedding cerrmony on April 20th 2023 in Sligo and she was fabulous. From the first email to our WhatsApp calls she was always so friendly, helpful and professional. We had so many music and song options to choose from on her list. Nothing was a problem and she made the planning so stress free and easy. She can sing any style as we discussed the possibility of including a classical song to our list and she sung it beautifully in addition to our other songs and music. The harp and piano sounded so lovely. An exceptional musician and singer and the nicest person you could work with. Thank you Brenda for all your hard work and making our ceremony so very special. We were so lucky to have found you. Mr and Mrs Carney.x ps Thank you for the extra tunes before the ceremony started - our guests loved listening to them.

Brenda was amazing from start to finish for our wedding day! She played the harp at our religious ceremony and she played at our reception too! She played for us in Ballintubber Abbey. The harp sounded so beautiful. Brenda is an amazing singer. She had great ideas of songs both of religious and non religious ones. We did a mix with some instrumentals thrown in. Brenda was so professional and everyone loved her and her music! She slipped in seemlessly into our day. Thanks Brenda ??

I always wanted a harp instrument at my wedding ceremony and I came across Brenda's profile. After reviewing various harpist, I found that my favourite was Brenda. Luckily my date was available and I locked it in straightaway and hadnt looked back since. Brenda was so helpful and approachable. Any questions I had about the ceremony music, she had answers right away. She is very knowledgeable at what she does and the experience was so seamless. We thoroughly enjoyed her music and would happily recommend her to anyone we know. Thanks again Brenda.

So many people were complimenting the songs and music Brenda did for us for our wedding ceremony. She covered so many genres of music between phantom of the opera, James Bay, The Greatest Showman and traditional music by singing and on the harp. She put her own twist on the songs and made them her own. Brenda was so approachable and learned a song that we had on our list called 'Like a Rose'. I sent her the song and she learned it for us. Thanks so much Brenda. I meant to do the review sooner.

Brenda was absolutely fabulous to work with from start to finish! She had a large selection of songs to chose from and was very helpful when I couldnt decide what song was suitable for certain parts of the ceromony. She has the voice of an angel, very skilled on the harp and can put such a lovely turn on modern songs. I would highly recommend Brenda to other couples getting married. Thank you so much Brenda!

Brenda was wonderful to work with, with Covid rearing its ugly head and cases increasing. We did a video call to talk about all the songs. We were absolutely clueless and Brenda gave us fabulous advice and Input, she played snips of songs to give us an idea which we loved. On the day of the wedding, Brenda was ill and couldn't find a replacement, instead of leaving me hanging, she still came and played at the venue! Which I can not believe, but I am so grateful for! The music was beautiful! Thank you so much Brenda!

We were so lucky to have Brenda perform at our December wedding.. from our first virtual meeting we found Brenda extremely helpful kind xnd so understanding.. She went through everything with us and put our minds at ease. We knew we were in good hands. She played several pieces of music for us via a WhatsApp video call and it made choosing our music so much easier. On the day she blew us all away with her beautiful voice and amazing harp music. She even managed to play my late dad's favourite piece of music " Galway Girl" on the harp and it meant the world to me especially . We cannot recommend the fabulous talented lady enough. She made our day incredibly special and memorable thank you Brenda

Brenda played the music for our ceremony in September. She was so lovely to work with from start to finish. We were having trouble choosing what songs we wanted and Brenda gave great advice on what songs work well at different parts in the ceremony. Nothing was too much trouble. She even worked with my niece to play the first song together and I was so happy to have both play while I walked down the aisle. Thank you so much for being part of our day.

Brenda included all our requests and we have nothing but praise and thanks for her amazing singing and musical talent. It was brilliant to have a Harpist live to showcase such a beautiful instrument which so many of our family and friends from home and abroad have raved about since our wedding. We cannot recommend Brenda enough. Thank you so much again Brenda for making our wedding day so special & unforgettable x

Despite restricted numbers we decided to go ahead and got married on March 16th 2021. We had Brenda booked from two years previous and had postponed twice due to covid restrictions and it was difficult trying to retain our preferred suppliers but thankfully Brenda accommodated us and was amazing through the entire process. Brenda went above and beyond in every aspect of helping us from selecting our music to zoom calls and generally always reassuring us which was such a great help. Her music and singing on the day can only be described as magical. There were only four guests at the venue but Brenda filled the void with her amazing voice and harp playing. She is a beautiful and caring person and goes the extra mile to ensure your music is right for you on the day. Cannot recommend her enough Thank you Brenda for making our special day so memorable.

Brenda made our fairytale wedding even more magical! She is a wonderful professional muscian. Brenda was available, flexible, very responsive, most helpful with advice on any queries, tips on music, song suggestions including acoustics. She listened to our requests, and we got those and more! Brenda gave generously of her time and engaged with us in the lead up to our wedding. No song or music request was a problem for her being a multi-instrumentalist with massive musical experience She is a gorgeous lady too! We were both so relaxed and knew we were in safe hands with Brenda from day one!

I just really enjoyed all genres of music chosen by us and others suggested by her, that was perfomed so well by Brenda. She is AMAZING. The Marriage Registrar in County Sligo where we married away from home was so delighted, and I sensed relieved, and straight away at ease when I mentioned you were playing our music in our first meeting. She said "She's brilliant!" Sincere thanks to you Brenda for everything you did for us. You went above and beyond the call of duty for us to make our day memorable and musically memorable. Thanks for singing an 'Elvis' number and playing harp as I walked up the aisle with my Dad. Cheers also for playing our first dance as a married couple as we got off our horse and carriage and playing a traditional Irish tune of choice! All our guests commented on how fantastic you were. Your Tina Turner 'Simply The Best' instrumental went down a treat in particular!

Brenda is such a talented musician that I highly recommend for events! I was lucky enough to book Brenda for my destination wedding in Ireland where she performed during my ceremony and the cocktail hour. Guests raved about how unique it was to have a harpist, especially one that is as versatile as Brenda. She can play the classics as well as contemporary music (i.e. Ed Sheeran & Bruno Mars). In the months leading up to the wedding, Brenda was very easy to work with which was important since we had an 8 hour time difference between us. She was accommodating and was very helpful when it came time to discuss song selection. Having Brenda playing while I walked down the aisle definitely made my wedding feel even more magical than it was.

Where to start... from the very first meeting with Brenda we clicked. I found her online and called her, and again I knew she was exactly the person to perform for us on our special day. Brenda has the voice of an angel, and is gifted with her hands, playing the harp, piano, tin whistle for us. Our wedding ceremony was the most important party of our day, and our special day was a little bit different to the norm, as it was a Double Weddimg with my twin sister, lucky for Brenda we both had the same likes in music and along with brendas guidance we choose the most beautiful music for our ceremony. We would highly recommend Brenda, we wished we could do it all again, thank you so much Brenda xx

She was so flexible, we wanted our 11year old nephew to play in the church the irish bag pipes and Brenda played alongside him as if they were playing for years!! Her beautiful voice brought warmth to our ceremony. She then played at the castle reception where the harp was the perfect back drop for our venue. Amazing g value, we would both highly recommend her. Thank you Brenda for helping making our day perfect!!

She is so hugely talented and can play pretty much everything (seriously, it's incredibly impressive). She's also so friendly and flexible, she really just wants you to have the music you want for your wedding. We planned our destination Ireland wedding from the US, and in the end we figured out the music Brenda would play in the days leading up to the wedding. It all worked out really well, and she put us at ease with her joy and talent. We are so glad that we got to have her play at our wedding.

I was gutted that I didn't get a chance to come in and hear Brenda properly as I was outside doing the professional photographs for the entire drinks reception. However, friends and family have mentioned what a lovely touch it was to have Brenda performing and one of my young cousins was particularly taken by her performance :)

It's not easy organising a wedding that isn't in the same country that you live in but Brenda made it so simple and easy to find and book her, and I am extremely grateful for that.
Response from Brenda Grealis Harpist Singer & Strings Ensemble
Chido thank you sincerely for your lovely review - you are so kind. You looked so beautiful on the day and i was so delighted to have been part of your special day.

We booked Brenda for our wedding ceremony music as she had performed at my sister's wedding and we had excellent memories of the atmosphere her beautiful music created in the church. Brenda did not dissapoint on our wedding day. Her music and singing was beautiful and really made our day. Brenda was very easy to deal with in the run up to our day and was very flexible with our music choices. I couldnt recommend her enough.

We were fortunate to have Brenda perform at our wedding in July 2018 in Mayo. She was amazing from the day we met her (she agreed to meet with us before we booked her) and she gave us a private concert and she was just wonderful. Such a lovely lady and what a great talent she has.

From start to finish Brenda was excellent to deal with. We couldn't rate her highly enough. We met up with Brenda a few months before our wedding to get some guidance on our church music. We found this really helpful and Brenda was able to play any choice of music we had and she offered her expertise also on where to place the music in the ceremony. On the wedding day itself the music was fab and she even did a duet with one of our wedding guests which was no bother or issue to Brenda. Brenda also provided the music at our drinks reception in the hotel and again this was loved by all our guests. Thanks Brenda for making our wedding day so special and your guidance along the way. We would have no problem recommended Brenda to any of our friends or family.

Brenda was so professional and friendly from the very start. We had the opportunity to meet with Brenda and go through our music and songs for the wedding well in advance so we did not need to worry at all about it. Brenda's website with its suggested music we found fantastic and allowed us to pick most of our music before we met and then she helped us to figure out the last few we were unsure with. Having so many of her songs on YouTube to watch/listen to was also a big help in choosing appropriate songs.
Brenda is excellent and at our wedding she used the harp, flute and keyboard so it really made the ceremony. I would highly recommend Brenda to future couples!

Brenda performed at our wedding ceremony on September 3rd last. We live I New York so organizing a wedding from abroad proved a little stressful. From our first video call we knew Brenda was exactly who we were looking for in a musician. She was so helpful in every way and even guided us with sourcing other suppliers and gave us so much fabulous advice. My niece sang a song at the wedding and Brenda met with her twice to practice as she was only 12. She did this on her own time. On the day we organized that we would exchange vows on the cliffs of Moher. The day was so windy and cold but Brenda brought her harp to the cliffs and performed for us She could not do enough for us and if any couple is looking for a quality performer Brenda is amazing

We are so delighted that we chose Brenda Grealis to play for us at our wedding ceremony & for the drinks reception afterwards. Brenda is blessed with a wonderful talent and brought this with her, in abundance, to share with us and all of our guests. Her harp playing was so gentle and just perfect for the emotional occasion of a walk up the aisle. It gives me goosebumps to think about it. Brenda also played the piano for us, the flute, and also sang with the voice of angel. Many of my guests commented on the beautiful music. Brenda herself is a gem, she's such a lady to deal with & really "gets you" so she can help find the perfect music choices to suit you. And a good Mayo woman to boot! I couldn't recommend her highly enough & I cant wait to see it all again when I get the video. Thanks Brenda, E & T xx

Hi Brenda

We are just back from our honeymoon this week and I am only now getting around to taking care of a few things. I wanted to thank you from the both of us for everything you did for us in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself. We were very happy to have you working with us and so delighted that you were open to accepting the challenge of our music choices. You played beautifully, Brendan and myself are very fond of you. We will forever think of the Godfather with that one particular song ! I would love to do it all again, if only to be able to relive the setting and the music all over again. It just goes so quickly.


Thank you again

Michelle and I were fortunate enough to secure Brenda as wedding singer for our ceremony in St. Muredach's Cathedral in Ballina. We had prior knowledge of Brenda's wonderful musical talent and were delighted to have been afforded the opportunity to work with Brenda.
Approximately 6 months before the ceremony, Brenda met with us to discuss & review the planning for our wedding music. Brenda used her extensive knowledge, experience and understanding of wedding ceremony music, to create a ceremony that was unique to us. This included assisting us to generate a music selection that was personable to us on our special day.
On the day of the wedding we were overwhelmed by the quality, intensity & passion of the music. Brenda's unique music resonated through St. Muredach's Cathedral. Brenda is an amazing vocalist and instrumentalist. Brenda performed a wide ranging repertoire of well- known; Classical, Celtic to popular modern music transcribed for the harp/ flute. From the opening entrance procession, we were captivated by her harp soloist performance of Pachelbel Canon in D, to the haunting vocals for Ma Ghra Thu and the soothing rendition of Fields of Gold by Flute.
We were so proud to have Brenda as our wedding singer & overwhelmed by the positive feedback & compliments we received from our wedding guests. We would highly recommend Brenda, for her professionalism and elegant music, she is a pleasure to work with and she is an amazing performer.
Thank you again Brenda for helping make our day so special, we shall forever remain indebted to you.

Myself and my husband, had Brenda Grealis play our church music, what can I say, she was absolutely fantastic, not only on the day itself but throughout the whole journey. I initially presented to brenda an idea of singing at the wedding cermony, and she invited me too her house to practice the song over and over again, her support was amazing. When it came too the picking of the church music her opinions were spot on and she was so helpful and forthcoming, we trusted her 100% and she was always on the other end of the line at the drop of a hat if we ever needed her help.

She is fantastic beyond words, her music is beautifully put together, she is so talented professional, helpful and very much the best at her profession.

Her website was a major help to us when choosing where to put the music throughout the ceremony and her absolute professionalism and kindness made the whole process very easy. Her extensive repertoire means that you can really choose songs that mean the most to you as a couple and her performance of Joni Mitchells Both Sides Now is still playing in my head three weeks later. I can not say enough good things about this beautiful lady. The best part of our day for me, was sitting with my partner on the alter and listening to her sing. She put us at ease and got the day off to a really great start. Thank you so much Brenda, I hope I get to hear you sing at many more weddings in the future. X

We we totally blown away with Brenda at our civil ceremony last week. We decided early on that we were going to have a small family gathering but music would play an important part of the proceedings. From our first meeting with Brenda we instantly knew we were in good hands. She is such a fabulous person and could not do enough for us. She went through every step of the ceremony with us and guided us with our song and music selections. On the day she totally blew us away with her amazing singing and beautiful harp playing, Her rendition of "Now we are Free" will never be forgotten and I was almost close to tears when she sang "My Lagan Love". If you are looking for the perfect wedding singer or harpist then you will not be disappointed with Brenda. A true lady and a wonderful and extremely talented artist. Thank you Brenda

Brenda was an absolute treasure and we could not have been happier with her performance on the day. She sang beautifully and played the harp and flute. She was one of the first suppliers we booked and we were so lucky to get her and we knew she was in demand. She has a warm and caring disposition but is extremely professional to deal with, and once you meet her you immediately feel at ease and know you are in safe hands. She was definately one of our top suppliers on the day and we would not hesitate in recommending her to any couple looking for amazing music and singing for their wedding ceremony. Brenda is amazing !

I booked Brenda for my wedding ceremony in Lough Talt Church, Co. Sligo and I was absolutely delighted with her. She played the harp which was even more beautiful than I had hoped and suited the setting perfectly. All of our guests commented on the gorgeous music afterwards. Brenda went out of her way to ensure I was happy with everything and to learn a new song that I wanted for the entrance. I would highly recommend her to add that special touch and intimate feel to the ceremony.

We were not having a traditional church wedding (we had a civil ceremony in a castle) so we were really conscious that we needed to get the music right to help set the tone. Quite a few people (including my own mother) told us later that Brenda's singing and harp playing "made the ceremony".

We knew we wanted some classical pieces and some traditional Irish pieces - singing and harp. Brenda had a Skype session with us and helped us choose what we wanted. I walked down the aisle to an instrumental of Gabriel's Oboe and it was the most amazing moment.

Brenda is talented, flexible and am absolute dream to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough!

We would both highly recommend Brenda. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is so professional and easy going too. She gave us good advice and met us both to discuss songs and the ceremony prior to the wedding. She also played at the hotel reception and her music was a joy to hear and really added to the atmosphere. Looking back at the wedding video, and hearing brenda sing again and play the harp is lovely. I am so happy she was apart of her day.

I had a truly amazing experience with Brenda from start to finish for our wedding. Nothing was impossible. Absolutely amazing person & amazing singer.we were blown away.The amount of comments that we are still receiving 3mts after our wedding about Brenda is unreal!!I'll never forget walking up the Isle to the sound of her beautiful voice singing "from this moment". If anyone knows Newport church you'll know this is a very big church so you would wonder how just one person would sound singing?.....it sounded and felt like there was ten Brenda's singing!!!could not fault one thing at all. We also had Brenda play the harp/piano while our guests arrived at the hotel. Everyone commented that it was a "beautiful experience". From start to finish Brenda helped us in every way to make our day so special.We had one particular song that we got Brenda to learn in memory of a parent that had passed away and when we heard her singing it we were just stunned! Thank you so so much Brenda, you are one in a million!! Xxxxx

Thank you so much Brenda for making our wedding ceremony so special. Your music created a wonderful atmosphere as our guests arrived and through the ceremony. So many people mentioned the atmosphere your music created. We planned our wedding from abroad, and you made things so easy for us - always eager to help out and advice us on music. What made it really special was that you were more than happy to go to the extra trouble of learning songs especially for our wedding. You were always really flexible and indeed ended up changing some things at the very last minute. You truly were a professional and made the music part of planning our wedding go like a breeze. Thank you so much!

Both myself and my husband were blown away when we went to see Brenda in her studio. Kevin absolutely loved Brenda and it was a must to book her , he wasnt as vocal about any other part of the wedding! It made his day even more special when she learned specially "Bridle on the Wall" which was sung at his father's funeral. She sang it beautifully on the day it was just so special. Nothing is a problem she is so professional and helpful no matter waht you ask. We were so happy we chose Brenda as the church music was simply stunning. Thank you for everything you made our day so special.

Her playing was lovely and voice was very beautiful. She is very affordable, very easy to work with and is a quality performer.

Brenda performed at our wedding in Galway 4 weeks ago and I just wanted to say how amazing she was on the day. All our guests commented on her. Her voice is heavenly and she played the harp and flute beautifully. She is also a beautiful person to deal with and could not do enough for us in the preparations. She even presented us with a song sheet with all our songs done up. It was just fabulous. She made the ceremony for us and we will never thank her enough. She is truly gifted at what she does and a absolute professional. Thank you so much Brenda and well done on your recent win of best wedding singer 2015 - you truly deserve it.

Brenda was a delight to deal with from start to finish. A professional service and a truly genuine lovely lady.
She provided the wonderful music at our wedding mass in Kiltimagh in on 29th May. She sang all our carefully selected songs and played so beautifully which really added to the special atmosphere and feeling of the day.
We had so many guests say to us how much they enjoyed her performance and how talented she really is!
Brenda was so helpful in giving us such brilliant advice and guidance to get the music right for the day.
The evening she offered to play a selection of music which we had shortlisted for the wedding is a time that will always stay with us both - it was really special.
We think Brenda should have her own tour- I'm sure it would sell out in minutes!!
