Joe Kenny Pianist

Joe honestly exceeded our expectations! He was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I couldn’t have walked down the aisle to anything more fantastic. All the guests remarked on how brilliant he was. So so grateful to Joe for making our day all the more memorable!

Joe played for our wedding in September and we actually don’t have enough words to express how amazing Joe actually is! From the get go Joe was so accommodating. He responded quickly to our enquiry. Joe was so warm and welcoming to myself and Kevin. Although we had heard some of Joe’s clips from his Instagram we were immediately at ease after our first chat knowing we had an amazing pianist and such a lovely person. Music is a big part of anyone’s special day and honestly I couldn’t recommend Joe more to people to be able to execute such an emotional day. There isn’t a piece of music that he doesn’t know. Kevin wanted a piano piece of a techno song to be played at the wedding and Joe was UNREAL playing Children by Robert Myles. We had emotional pieces and happy pieces played and they were perfect. I asked Joe if he would sing the chorus of my aisle song “to build a home” which is out of the ordinary for a most pianists and oh my god I couldn’t explain it. He captured every emotion in all of us with this song. His voice is just amazing. Guests talked about Joe for the whole night and still ask about him. We knew what songs we wanted played but couldn’t decide where to play them in what parts of the ceremony. Joe was so so so helpful with this taking a massive stress from us. Such a professional! He really brings an emotional warm energy with him.
Joe we couldn’t actually thank you enough for everything. The best musician we have come across. We wish you continued success in your music.

Joe played during our ceremony and drinks reception. He was so friendly and professional, and made the whole process absolutely seamless. We had a selection of pieces we wanted played during the ceremony, and he learned and performed them beautifully. Easily recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding pianist! Thanks so much Joe.

From the moment we connected with Joe and heard his music, we knew he would be awesome and add such beauty to the ceremony and reception, but he really took it to the next level! Everyone was raving about the music during the ceremony and reception, saying his playing was incredible.
Thank you Joe for being accommodating with our song choices, as you played them beautifully during the ceremony.
You were so lovely and easy to work with! We wish we could do our day all over again for many reasons and hearing Joe play again is certainly one of them! From Jen & George

We were so lucky to have Joe play through dinner at our wedding; He really contributed to the overall experience and elegance of the day.
Not only were his performances pristine, but he truly went above and beyond to find us an alternative to a grand piano when we found out our venue couldn’t accommodate one. Our guests loved him as much as we did, giving him requests and many rounds of applause. We would certainly hire him all over again… highly recommend!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Joe perform at our wedding, and he truly made our day even more special! He arrived early to set up, which gave us great peace of mind, and was incredibly professional throughout. Joe played a wonderful mix of jazz and pop music, keeping the atmosphere perfect from start to finish. His performance was flawless, and we were especially touched that he took the time to learn several songs in advance just for us. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about his talent! If you’re looking for a pianist who can elevate your event, Joe is your guy!

Joe was a complete pro and gent for our wedding day! My wife and I still talk about how amazing the music was and especially the church music! We both would highly recommend Joe! Thanks again ☺️

We were lucky enough to have Joe play music for our ceremony and reception at Tankardstown house in June 2024. Joe was very easy to work with and very accommodating of all of our requests, even surprising us with a song choice during our ceremony that was had asked him about a few weeks earlier. We have received numerous compliments about our ceremony music since our wedding day and we couldn't recommend Joe enough!

We loved having Joe do our wedding ceremony and reception music! From the get go Joe was great to work with and very professional. We had a few song requests and Joe performed them beautifully. Our guests loved the reception music too which added such a beautiful atmosphere, especially as it was raining on our wedding day so everyone was indoors! Thanks again Joe! I would highly recommend to anyone.

Where do I start! Joe was a last minute decision and the best decision we made! His music was the perfect addition to our day from the ceremony to drinks reception. Our guests absolutely LOVED him, he played every request and got a sing song started. Would highly recommend Joe, you can't go wrong!

Joe played our wedding in April and we couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our wedding. He made the day so much better and was brilliant for start and finish. The transition from each song in the ceremony was perfect and he made a wedding day even more special.

Joe played at our drinks reception in Clonabreany House in April 2024. So many of our guests have complimented how the music set the tone for the day. Thanks Joe for being so professional and being part of our special day.

I wouldn’t look any further than Joe Kenny! Ultra professional guy, super easy to deal with and of course, a fantastic pianist. We had a call prior to our big day, whereby Joe offered requests. Most importantly, Joe has the ability to evaluate the crowd, and knows exactly what to play and when. We had several working musicians present on the day as guests, and they all had the highest of praise for Joe. Thanks again, Kevin & Fiona

We had Joe play at our wedding for both our Ceremony and drinks reception and he was incredible! Throughout the run up to the wedding he was so professional, responsive and knowledgeable, and was able to accommodate any additional song requests we had. Would highly recommend Joe to anyone!

Joe played at our wedding reception at Luttrellstown Castle in December 2023 and I cannot recommend him highly enough! I had heard him play at a friend's wedding ceremony in Brook Lodge, so we knew we would be in for a treat. Our guests were blown away by having such beautiful music- and it was especially appreciated that he accommodated our (many!) song requests! He made such a difference to the atmosphere and ambience at our drinks reception. He even played us a song when our guests were being seated, it was really special. We are so grateful to him for being a part of our day. 10/10 recommend!

Huge thanks to Joe for playing at our wedding in Tankardstown on December 16th. Everyone loved Joe and he created a fantastic atmosphere at our reception. We can’t thank him enough for being part of our special day. We would highly recommend Joe to any brides and grooms to be!

Joe was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding in Ballymagarvey Village on the 10/12/23.

He was so lovely and even played one of my favourite songs that he learned for the day along with so many songs for our ceremony. We got some many compliments from our guests about you Joe!

We would recommend Joe 💯 for his professionalism and talent for playing at any event!

Thank you so much Joe! Xx Pamela & Garreth

Joe played the piano for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at Tankardstown House. He was absolutely great and a pleasure to work with. He provided music options for both the ceremony and drinks reception. He provided advice on what would work on the piano and what would not. He sent us recordings of how some of the music would sound on the piano to help us choose the right music for our ceremony. If you are looking for a pianist I would highly recommend Joe.

Joe was amazing from the first email, all song requests were possible and everything was effortless. He really added to the atmosphere on the day and made our wedding ceremony and drinks reception so special.

Joe played our wedding reception in Ballymagarvey Village in September 2023 and absolutely smashed it! The guests are still talking about how talented he was. Played all the genres we asked and on top of being an extremely talented pianist, he is an all-round great guy! Very professional and genuinely would recommend to anyone for any type of occasion! He will surely be my go to pianist for future events / occasions.

We booked Joe for our wedding in September to play during the ceremony and at the drinks reception, with a mix of wedding classics and modern songs. He was a phenomenal pianist! Every guest at our wedding commented about how great he was! One of our friends even booked him for their wedding this year, so we are really looking forward to hearing him play again! I would highly recommend booking Joe for your wedding, you will not regret it!!

Joe is EXCEPTIONAL. We cannot recommend him enough. We booked Joe for our wedding in August 2023, and all of our guests commented on his fantastic piano skills. He also played all the songs we requested. Brilliant to have him as part of our perfect day. Book him - you will not regret it!

Joe played piano at our wedding mass 18th August in Cavan and we couldn't have been happier with him. Everyone was complementing the music afterwards. He was a joy to deal with and hopefully we get to see him playing again in the future. Thanks for everything Joe. Niall & Orla

Joe was a fantastic addition to our wedding reception. Very friendly and accommodating when we moved his set 3 times to chase the good weather. Perfect selection of music for all ages to enjoy. Would highly recommend!

Joe was incredible, he played our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. From the first call to the big day he was super helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. All of our guests complimented the music and we couldn’t have been happier! Joe helped us choose our songs and was able to provide a recommendations list. I would HIGHLY recommend Joe!

We booked Joe for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in Ballymagarvey Village in June 2023. Joe was a complete professional and so easy to communicate with and plan our day, especially when working with our celebrant on our ceremony plan. He was very accommodating on our song choices and prioritized our favourite songs for when we joined our drinks reception. I would highly recommend Joe.

My husband and I got married at St Martin of Tours church in Co Meath in May of this year. Joe played piano at the church and during the reception drinks. He was absolutely amazing and no request was too big. For example, I really wanted my cousin to sing while I walked down the aisle and I asked would he be able to play the piano to accompany her, to take the stress from me, my cousin and Joe communicated about how this could be arranged and met earlier at the church so they could practice. Needless to say, they sounded amazing together. Joe then played the rest of the ceremony and reception which created a beautiful ambiance. I would definitely recommend joe for any occasion, he truly a talented musician.

Joe played at our wedding drinks reception in Ballymagarvey Village in May. From start to finish Joe was helpful, responsive and professional. We had a zoom call before the wedding to discuss the type of music we would like and Joe really listened created the perfect atmosphere on the day. If you're looking for a talented pianist we would highly recommend Joe!

Joe played during our drinks reception at Markree Castle in April. He was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. Everyone loved the song selection, and his beautiful music created the perfect atmosphere on our big day. We would highly recommend booking Joe to add a special touch to any wedding!

Joe's musical talent absolutely made our wedding day. Before the wedding, he worked with us to build a playlist that perfectly complemented our wedding venue's vibe and our taste in music. Joe is a complete gentleman, and his positivity and enthusiasm made it a pleasure to work with him. I honestly couldn't recommend him any more highly – thanks Joe!

A consummate professional!
We booked Joe to perform at our wedding reception in Ballymagarvey Village on 16th Februrary 2023 and he was superb! From the moment we booked him right up until the week of the wedding, he was very responsive via email and more than happy to schedule a call with us and take any personal music requests we had - we both are involved with musicals in our spare time so he happily took our suggestions to enhance his already brilliant set list. His performance added so much to the day and our guests all commented on how great he was. Don't look any further if you are looking for a wedding pianist! :-)

Joe played at our drinks reception on 10th February 2023 in Markree Castle. From initial contact to the day itself he was a pleasure to deal with - prompt replies, clear quotes, and he even learned two rare pieces that I requested and played them when he saw me coming! My only regret is I didn’t get to spend more time listening, but the guests were commenting on how good the music was so that's the best review really!

Joe is an exceptionally talented pianist! I came across him first at a wedding showcase event and knew we had to have him playing at our own wedding Drinks Reception. He didn’t disappoint. Would recommend him to anyone!

Joe recently played for us at our Wedding in Tankardstown House and he was fantastic.

He played during our meal for 2 hours and from start to finish it was just perfect. He performed a mix of all of the songs we asked for and even played/learned a special request I had asked for which was really appreciated.

Highly recommend Joe for any event be it corporate or a wedding, he was a pleasure to deal with and look forward to seeing him play again in the future.

Thanks again Joe
Avril and Sam

Excellent!

Joe was so kind and helpful with prepping for our ceremony and reception on what songs we would like. We had requested a particular song which was no issue to Joe, and he was very accommodating to us; he is an outstanding pianist, and his welcoming personality made the ceremony go perfectly. Thank you, Joe; we highly recommend!

Joe played at our wedding in Bellingham Castle. We wanted a pianist to play during the meal. Right from the beginning, Joe made everything so seamless; his communication was fantastic, his packages were very fairly priced and his range of song choices were excellent. We had a brief Zoom call with Joe the week of our wedding to run through our preferences and he really paid attention to our requests. He is very professional and personable but most of all a brilliant pianist. The background music of the piano was a lovely addition to our meal and several guests commented on his performance. We highly recommend Joe 10/10.

My husband Raúl and I had Joe as our pianist at our wedding in Tankardstown House in June this year. Joe played absolutely beautifully, his music bringing some tears to my husband's eyes! Although our wedding ceremony passed in what felt like the blink of an eye, the feeling of Joe's wonderful playing will stay with me. He really brought to life the feeling we wanted to create at our wedding and we loved the vibe at our reception. He has a lovely manner and was very easy to work with. We would both highly recommend Joe!

Joe is amazing! From first contact with Joe, we knew we would have nothing to worry about when it came to music. We got married last month in the fabulous Ballymagarvey Village and we had the pleasure of Joe playing for our ceremony and drinks reception. We were both very chilled out when it came to music choice but Joe's recommendations made our choices so easy, I knew I wanted a particular song played for our exit out of the ceremony room and I couldn't of had it played any more beautifully. He gave our day a stunningly magical musical soundtrack. Thank you Joe 🥰

If you are looking for live music, Joe is an integral add to your wedding ceremony and reception. We booked Joe for our ceremony & cocktail hour & the guests LOVED him. He is easy to work with, very responsive to emails, accommodating to the genre or atmosphere you are trying to build for your wedding vision & even helped us with recommendations for filler music during our ceremony. Highly recommended!

Joe played at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in Virginia Park Lodge. We highly recommend him. He was highly communicative in the lead up and played brilliantly on the day.

Joe played at our wedding reception in Bellingham Castle in November. We were absolutely delighted we had him as it really set a great atmosphere at the reception.

As we had discussed with him in a zoom call the week before, Joe played a range of different genres to suit all our guests. He is incredibly talented on the piano and can perfectly read the room when choosing the songs to play throughout the evening. When the bulk of the party moved from the main reception room downstairs to the bar, Joe moved down there too which was brilliant!

It was really nice for us to hear so many compliments from our guests on the music at the reception - it really created the relaxed atmosphere we were looking for.

We would absolutely recommend Joe without hesitation.

Joe was amazing to deal with from start to finish and was also really accomodating when we had to postpone our wedding. Music on the night was beautiful and all our guests loved it! Look no further if you are after a pianist!

Joe played at both our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in August in the Farnham Estate, Cavan. The ceremony music was always one of the most important things to us and from the minute we got in touch with Joe, we knew we had made the right decision. He is not only extremely talented but incredibly professional to deal with. He has a vast repertoire of music and played a beautiful set at our drinks reception. Joe's music truly was the perfect backdrop to our day and it will long live in our memory. I couldn't recommend Joe enough!

Joe played piano for our drinks reception at our wedding recently in Bellingham Castle. It was the perfect welcome for our guests and created a warm atmosphere in the castle.

Joe was very easy to deal with we just let him run with the music himself on the day as he knows what works best. He offered to move half way through the set if required depending on the movement and flow of the guests, it wasn't required on the day but great to know where the bulk of guests would be there would be entertainment.

I'd highly recommend Joe for any occasion, there was absolutely no stress involved and it all came together perfectly due to his experience.

We had the great pleasure of having Joe play at our recent wedding in Ghan House, Carlingford.

At every stage in our dealings with Joe, from early inquiries through to the day itself, he went above and beyond to help us with our music choices. He learned new songs which we asked if he could play and even took a request or two from our guests.

He brought his own keyboard to play downstairs during the ceremony, which he quickly moved without fuss to a different room for the reception. He then switched to playing the grand piano upstairs in Ghan House during dinner.

Joe is a really talented, versatile, professional and genuinely nice guy. We highly recommend him to anyone planning a big event in their lives, whether it's a wedding or party. He will add a special touch to the occasion. We hope to rebook him again in the future, as soon as the right event comes along.

Joe played at our wedding at Tankardstown House and did an amazing job. It really adds a classy touch and people loved it. Thanks Joe ????

Joe played during our Wedding @ Tankardstown House and I have to say he was nothing short of amazing. A great guy who played some really beautiful music for our guests. Everyone was commenting on how good he was. When he was finished, he came to say goodbye to my wife and I personally? a really nice touch from an even nicer guy. Thanks Joe.

We booked Joe to play at our ceremony, drinks reception and dinner. He met with my wife a couple of months prior to the wedding to discuss music choices for the ceremony and scoped out our venue in Stephen's Green to make doubly sure everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. I have to say we found Joe very helpful and easy to communicate with. His piano playing added the perfect soundtrack to our day. He made sure to play some of our favorite songs and even took requests throughout the dinner from our guests which was great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!
