BACKGROUND
With years of experience focused specifically on ceremony music, at Encore Occasions, we understand the delicate balance between 'enhancing' and 'performing' that is required at a wedding ceremony, as your vows take centre stage. Striking this perfect balance is something we take pride in and we love working with couples who love and care about the detail of music planning. With over 1,500 happy couples who have trusted us to curate their ceremony music, we're thrilled to be present once again on the Weddings Online platform, offering an extensive range of ensemble instrument choices to Irish couples.
Since our inception in 2007, we have maintained our position as the ceremony music supplier of choice for high-end wedding planners, working on some of Ireland's most intimate and private events alongside many elaborate and exclusive destination weddings both at home and abroad.
SINGER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR – NAOISE STUART-KELLY
Naoise has performed at over 3,000 ceremonies following her rigorous vocal training in Dublin and at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music, London. She graduated alongside Sir Elton John, performed in London's West End alongside Dame Judi Dench and Gillian Anderson and for the Queen’s Jubilee at Buckingham Palace before touring 50 States in USA as a concert soloist over several years. As Lead-Singer with Riverdance – The Show, she performed hundreds of shows for audiences across Asia, Mexico and Europe and for Summer seasons at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin.
MUSICIANS
Over the last 17 years Encore Occasions has been offering ensembles of professional musicians to perform at wedding ceremonies. All are professionally trained recording and concert artists, who feature on movie soundtracks and album recordings, working with artists from Bruce Springsteen, Michael Buble and U2 to classical artists like Josh Groban, Pavarotti, and Andrea Bocelli. We offer combinations of piano, strings (violin, cello, trios, quartets & larger string sections), harp, classical & acoustic guitar, flute, uileann pipes, Irish whistles, oboe and trumpet and we love to create different combinations of instruments to suit the styles and tastes of our couples.
PRICING
We don’t have ‘packages’ or general costs, as each wedding is so uniquely different. We have different offerings at all ends of the budget spectrum via our ENCHANTED, FAIRYTALE and MAJESTIC options (more information is on our website).
OTHER
We also offer pre-reception instrumental music, dinner music, grand piano hire, piano shell hire and LED candle hire, should you wish you have your evening performance adorned by candlelight. Through our sister company, we also offer First Dance Lessons with our experienced team of choreographers, who can take you through simple steps or a fully choreographed routine.
