Ceili Cottage - Trad Music & Irish Dancers

Ceili cottage played for day 2 of our wedding and were absolutely brilliant. Their performance added a lovely atmosphere to the day. In addition to their outstanding music, working with Ceili Cottage was an absolute pleasure. From the initial booking to the day of the event, Courtney was professional, accommodating, and went out of her way to ensure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend this band for any event!

We booked Ceili Cottage for our day 2 to get the energy up after the wedding day. I gave them the wedding date not the day after. Even after giving the wrong date they still provided a two piece for us. They were brilliant and really got the energy back up for day 2. We have some lovely videos of the family dancing. Thanks so much for being so understanding and professional.

I’m from the USA and got married in Bray. Needless to say - finding a band in a foreign country is overwhelming. Finding a band that fits the vibe of the wedding is even more overwhelming.

We came upon Ceili Cottage and I was put at ease. They were so communicative, forthcoming with what they can offer and how they can mend to your style, and they also had an Instagram/ samples to share.

If you don’t hear their samples and immediately see and hear incredible talent - I would be quite surprised but I’m writing this to share that beyond the sample, they were hands down the most talented band I’ve heard.

They played soft music for our entry/ exit from the ceremony and then played our cocktail hour with fun pop/ rock songs combined with traditional Irish music. Our crowd was up on their feet immediately and didn’t stop. Everyone kept saying, “Those musicians are awesome!”, “His voice was great.”, “I can’t believe that they played x for us.”

Lastly, I was sitting at my reception and the band came and found me long after they were finished to congratulate me. I will never forget how thoughtful they were.

I wish they lived closer to me because I would hire them over and over.

We had Courtney and co in Ceili Cottage to play our outdoor wedding day 2.
Courtney was so easy to deal with and so responsive. Nothing was any trouble.
They brought the craic and had everyone up and dancing even though we were all shells of people by then!
Hoping to see you guys again, thanks so much.

Thank you so much to the Ceili Cottage who played at our wedding just over a month ago now. People are still talking about how brilliant you all were and got the crowd going after dinner. We absolutely loved you and so did all the guest. Can't thank you enough. Corey and Joe.

We had Ceili Cottage play for our ceremony in October and just WOW. They were absolutely incredible, they made the music flow perfectly throughout our ceremony and everyone at the wedding was talking about them. Courtney was an absolute pleasure to deal with, even requesting a very old family known melody was not too much trouble. Unbelievable talent and super easy to deal with!

Courtney and the c?il? band have been so lovely to work with from the get-go. We had requested particular dances and they didn't hesitate for a second in accommodating us. I would recommend them to anyone going forward, the music was fantastic, they were so professional and friendly and the c?il? itself was the perfect way to break the ice and had all of the wedding guests in stitches. Thank you so much for a magical time.

We had day 2 of our wedding in Celbridge GAA with a two piece playing from 8-10pm. Courtney was excellent to deal with from start to finish. We had a slight change to the timings quite late in the day which was accommodated without any hassle. The music itself was brilliant and went down a treat with our guests. We would definitely recommend - thanks to Courtney and Kevin for a great nights entertainment! Davy and Nic Hughes

We booked Ceili Cottage as one of the bands for the Day 2 of our Wedding on the 3rd of Dec. We had lots of guests travelling from overseas and knew we wanted an Irish trad band to welcome people for the day ahead.

WOW. These guys were amazing. They really set the tone for the day ahead and got everyone excited and the sore heads from the night before were soon forgotten.

Courtney was a dream to deal with and everything ran smoothly. Lottie was super friendly on the day and they gave us a performance to remember.

All our guests loved them and we were sad to hear them end.

I hope we meet again soon.

Wishing you all a super Christmas and an incredibly busy 2023, you deserve it.

Ceili Cottage were fantastic for our pre-wedding celebrations. They were very talented and helped create an atmosphere in the room! We would definitely recommend them for drinks reception/day-two events!

We booked Ceili Cottage to perform for 3 hours after the groom's rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. I can't say enough positive things about them. Our guests LOVED them. They were perfect for (both) our Irish guests and our other guests from all over the world who had no previous touchstone to Irish culture. Everyone was up dancing, whether they knew what they were doing or not. It was festive and infectious and helped set the tone for the whole 2 day upbeat event. The mix played was trad but young and modern. All the musicians were friendly and seemed to be enjoying themselves as well. Courtney, the booking manager is extremely responsive and professional. They delivered on everything from on time arrival and set up through to a wonderful performance. I will be recommending them to my other family members.

We had ceili cottage play at our day 2 and they where so enjoyable and fun we had a few sore heads that day do I know having the trad music was a great I've breaker to get everyone moving again. We had a few dances and it was just great to have a fun atmosphere ????
