Something Blue Acoustics

Damien and Kelly played and sang so beautifully at our ceremony and drinks reception in August 2023.
So many of our guests commented on how great the music was. 'Sparks' in the ceremony was a big hit - thanks so much for learning this to play during the ceremony, and 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered' set the tone for the rest of the day after the ceremony.
Everyone had their favourite from the drinks reception outside - there was a great mix of songs for young and old!

Kelly & Damien played for the church & our reception & they were amazing.
Kelly was so easy with deal with from word go, and just a lovely,lovely person.
The church was definitely a highlight for me & that’s partly down to the singing/music.Kelly’s voice is beautiful & she was willing to learn any song that I requested.We are both so happy that we chose Kelly & Damien to be a part of our day & I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to any other couple

Kelly and Damien played our evening drinks reception and they were just perfect! They read the room so well and later had the whole place up dancing. I'm so glad we found them, and would 100% recommend! They created the perfect atmosphere and our guests loved them. We were also last minute arranging, and they were extremely prompt in communication and accommodating us.

We are so grateful to Kelly and Damien and how special they made our wedding. We planned our wedding from the U.S., but they were so easy to work with -- professional, prompt, and kind to with answers to questions, and so helpful in helping us choose music. They were wonderful on our wedding day, even when we had rain and still had our ceremony outside! Wish we had time to chat with them and listen to more of their music during our reception, but we were distracted with photo-taking. We heard nothing but glowing reviews from our guests. We highly recommend them! Krista and Rory

We had the best wedding day ever and are so pleased that Kelly and Damien were a part of it and contributed so much to the memories that we will cherish forever. They were the perfect choice for the perfect day. So easy to work with to plan our songlist, including learning new songs just for us, so professional and just so, so delightful to hear them play for us. Do not hesitate to book them for your event, they are everything you are hoping for! Thanks again guys!

Something Blue were a fantastic addition to our wedding. From the first interaction Kelly was so organised and so easy to deal with which made everything so straightforward. And of course they are both extremely talented musicians and all our guests were singing their praises all day. Would highly recommend.

I can’t recommend Kelly and Damien highly enough, they’re both so easy going and professional. We barely gave them any direction, just told them what kind of evening we wanted and they took it from there, it was just perfect. Our guests loved their set and raved about Kelly’s gorgeous voice. You can’t go wrong booking this lovely couple.

It was an absolute pleasure having Kelly and Damien play at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at Kilshane House. They made the planning process very easy and were very responsive to queries. The music they performed during our ceremony and drinks reception truly exceeded our expectations. Kelly's stunning vocals combined with Damien's skillfulness with the guitar really made our ceremony so special and created such a beautiful, uplifting atmosphere during the drinks reception. Guests were raving about how good the music was, along with how amazing Kelly's voice was! We highly recommend having Something Blue Acoustics as they made our day that extra bit special!

What can we say from the first phone call to our wedding day it was a pleasure to have Kelly and Damien involved in our wedding.there was no problem with any song we choose it was always a yes no problem we can do that we would highly recommend them for your special occasion they were fantastic in the church and we also had them at the reception before the meal all our guests loved them. Thanks for the memories

We cannot speak highly enough of Kelly and Damian. Prior to the wedding they could not have been more polite and professional and prompt to respond to any queries. They were a delight to deal with.

On the day itself, the music during the ceremony was absolutely beautiful and Kelly’s voice is something special. All of our guests were extremely complimentary of the music during the reception too. Kelly and Damian really helped to create a great atmosphere during both the ceremony and the reception. They were a huge part of our big day and we cannot recommend them enough.

Kelly & Damien were an absolute pleasure to deal with for our Wedding, both on the lead up helping us with music selection and on the day itself. They did both the music at the church and then afterwards at our drinks reception, both of which was absolutely flawless. Our guests raved about the music, in particular their version of BellX1's 'Eve is the apple of my eye' at the church. I couldn't recommend Something Blue Acoustic highly enough and we are absolutely delighted with our decision to have them play at our wedding. Thanks again for everything Kelly and Damien.

Something Blue Acoustics played during our church ceremony and the drinks reception of our wedding. Not only are they wonderful and talented musicians they are always easy to work with and very professional. They are always easy to contact and will do everything to work with you. They also gave us great advice for our ceremony music. Their music was wonderful on the day. All the guests said that they loved the music. Thank you Kelly and Damien.

Kelly and Damien played for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. We found them very easy to deal with from our first contact all our queries were addressed promptly and any request we made for music not on their playlist was happily taken on. The music on the day was fantastic and really added to the romance of the ceremony and kicked off the party afterwards nicely. All of our guests commented to us how great they sounded and what an amazing addition they were to the day.
We would highly recommend Something Blue Acoustics for anyone looking into booking them they really helped our day feel even more special.

To Damien & Kelly,

What can we say other than a massive thank you for making our wedding day so special. The music was fantastic and what an amazing voice you have Kelly. We absolutely loved it & thank you for learning our ceremony song choices. All of our guests felt the same, you both helped make our day so memorable.

Thanks again!

Kelly and Damien of Something Blue Acoustics are something more than special. Their energy and love for what they do shines through the whole experience. From the moment I contacted Kelly she was amazing, helping with suggestions and making sure the flow of the ceremony was just right with the music we were deciding on. I can still hear Kelly's voice begin to sing as I prepared to walk up the isle. What a moment, their music will be part of our day always and made the ceremony so special and personal. All our guests raved about how beautiful Kelly's voice is and they loved that they stayed and played for our drinks reception. The music and song floated on the sea air mixed with laughter and the clink of glasses. If you have the opportunity book these 2, they are fabulous, the songs they sang will always remind us of the wonderful memories we have of our day in the Haven in Dunmore. Love Always Sonia & Jim

Kelly and Damien made our wedding ceremony so special. Music was such a key element of the service for us and from the samples we heard we knew they would be the perfect soundtrack to start off our wedding celebrations! Booking was a simple process and clear, and communication was great. They kindly learnt our song request, nothing was too much trouble. We are sorry we missed the early reception part for our photographs but our guests commented highly of you both. Thank you so much for your version of ‘Praise you’ We are now known as the couple that danced down the aisle and it’s one of our favourite memories. Kelly and Damien are very talented and worth every penny!

Something Blue Acoustics performed for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in February 2019. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish! Kelly was so enthusiastic and so prompt in her emails to me. Her voice is sensational and Damien played flawlessly. Most of our song choices were special requests and Kelly and Damien were so accommodating, in Kelly's own words "the more personal the better". So many of our guests commented on how impressed they were by Something Blue Acoustics, lots of people asking us where did we find them?! They seemed to think they were a very special, unique find! And they are!! Thanks guys - unforgettable!

We are so happy that we booked Something Blue Acoustics for our Humanist ceremony @ Faithlegg. Kelly was so friendly and super responsive from the moment I contacted them. They have a fantastic song list to choose from and they are happy to learn new material if you really wanted a song that wasn't on their list. Kelly really helps to ensure that the ceremony reflects you and your partner and she also helps with the song layout for the ceremony itself - very handy when you're not quiet sure where instrumental pieces can be played etc. Kelly & Damien also played for our drinks receptions and so many of our guests commented on how great they were! They sound fantastic and really help to keep the party mood going. I would highly recommend them for any future weddings!

WOW! That's the first word that springs to mind when I think of Kelly and Damien and Something Blue Acoustic. Having SBA play at our wedding a few weeks back was the best decision myself and my now husband made during our wedding planning.
Kelly was super friendly and accommodating and responsive throughout the planning phase and was open to all of our ideas! She even learned Songbird as Gaeilge for me as my entrance song to the church! Go raibh mile maith agat as sin Kelly!
From the first note of Songbird to the last song Kelly and Damien performed at our drinks reception they were just absolutely amazing! Kelly's voice would actually melt you and Damien's skills on the guitar are unreal! They are the perfect duo!
Our guests were absolutely raving about SBA all day and night and some of them said the Kelly's version of Eve the Apple of my Eye by Bell X1 was the best version they have ever heard! One of those guest being a wedding singer herself!
If you are thinking of booking Something Blue Acoustics...don't think any longer...they are the best! What more could you ask for...incredibly talented musicians and wonderful humans too!! Without a doubt the best decision we ever made!!
Thanks so much Kelly and Damien...same time again next year ya??? :P

What can I say about Kelly and Damien? They were absolutely amazing. We had an outdoor ceremony in an amazing location on one of the hottest days of the year and hearing Kelly singing "yours" by Ella Henderson, (which she learned especially) just made the moment totally magical as I walked up the aisle. Damien played an instrumental of Fleetwood Mac's landline during the ceremony and it was just so beautiful. The music during our ceremony and drinks reception was truly exceptional. Kelly and Damien also went to the trouble of sourcing an additional PA system for our celebrant and nothing was too much trouble. They were fantastic to deal with and I would highly recommend to any brides and grooms!! Wish I could go back and listen to them again!!!

Couldn't recommend these guys enough! Very professional and always on hand to answer any questions we had. Kelly learned a new song for my bride to enter the church to and there wasn't a dry eye in the church, including my own! She even sent on a sample recording a day or two beforehand. They rocked the drinks reception too with more upbeat tunes. Kelly's voice is beautiful and Damien knows his way around a guitar. Book these guys, you won't regret it.

Something Blue Acoustics sang at our wedding ceremony and our drinks reception and can only be described as FABULOUS! Everyone was raving about Kelly's beautiful voice and they really added to our ceremony. My only regret is that we didn't get to enjoy them at the drinks reception as photo duty kept us away but going by everyone else's reaction, they went down brilliantly and people loved their sound. I had lots of emails to Kelly in the lead-up to the day itself about song choices and she always responded straight-away with a friendly, helpful attitude! And they even performed two songs that we requested not in their original set list! So please do yourself a favour a book this wonderful duo for your big day, you will not be disappointed

I cannot rate Something Blue highly enough, what incredible musicians and wonderful people. From my first email to Kelly I know I had found the perfect people to perform at our wedding ceremony, she was so lovely and friendly that I felt totally at ease with a big decision, as music was one of our main priorities for the day. We had multiple email consults as I kept thinking of new songs to include in the ceremony. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Kelly and Damien, even when we asked them to learn several new songs and to create a mash up of two very different songs for my entrance! So many of our guests commented on how wonderful the music was, how beautiful Kelly's voice was, and how unique the song interpretations were. I cannot recommend these two highly enough and feel so lucky that they were part of our wedding! They were both so lovely on the day too, congratulating us with hugs and smiles. Absolutely wonderful thank you!!

One of the best choices we ever made for our wedding was to book Kelly and Damien from Something Blue Acoustics. From the second myself and my new hubby heard them we knew they we're perfect for us. We really loved their mellow relaxed vibes as well as their extensive song repertoire. They have a brillant mix of everything and anything going. I particulary loved their traditional Irish songs. Lots of my guests have commented since on how amazing Kelly's vocals were for the song "She moved through the fair". Kelly was so understanding, creative, easy going and absolutely amazing to deal with. She even put me at ease and helped me build up the confidence to sing two songs at the cermony myself. My only regret is not getting to spend much time listening to them at the drinks reception due to getting photos. My guests told me they were fab. I would highly reccomend Something Blue Acoustics to anyone. They really helped make our day perfect. Thanks again guys xxx

Kelly and Damien played at our wedding in Waterford on 29-7-17. They were fantastic! So many of our guests are still talking about them, how good they were. From the first time I contacted Kelly she emailed back straight away each time, and she helped me with my songs! We are so happy we chose Kelly and Damien and would highly recommend them for your big day! Thank you so much guys , Orla and Gary xx

I couldn't have asked for better music to accompany my ceremony! Kelly's voice is really beautiful and together with Damien's guitar accompaniment it was exactly what I had imagined for my wedding day. Kelly and Damien were also extremely professional and helpful in the lead up to the wedding. Kelly provided a list of over a hundred suggestions for our music, and also took the time to help me understand when and where in the ceremony we could include music. Our parents and guests were very impressed with Kelly and Damien and we could not have made a better choice! Highly recommended!

I had Damien & Kelly for our wedding 2 weeks ago and they were absolutely fantastic! Everyone commented on how good they were and asked about them! They traveled from Waterford to Mulranny in Mayo for our wedding (which is a massive drive) but we couldn't find another group that suited our musical taste as well. They performed in both the church and the drinks reception (across the road). Also, Kelly spotted a big typo in my mass booklet which two priests didn't notice so that was very helpful! I would definitely recommend them as they really made the mass very personnel for us.

I still have goosebumps from Kelly's voice as I walked up the aisle. Very helpful a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend them both.Damiens acoustics were fab.

Amazing duo! Created such a wonderful atmosphere in the church. Had a brilliant song list to choose from and were so helpful. So pleased we booked them to play at our ceremony.

Well all I can say Kelly and Damien were amazing all our guest raved about them and would have happily listened to them all night as well. They were so so good and helpful with the song choices for the ceremony and even managed to cover one of my favourite songs which I loved. Thank you so much for everything and will be recommending you highly to all our friends

Thank you so much Kelly and Damien for providing our ceremony music in Greystones, Wicklow on Saturday March 11th.
You were an absolute pleasure to deal with, so responsive and helpful!
On the day you blew us away, the vocals were stunning and our guests commented how lovely it was.
I wish we could do it all over again!
Thank you so much!!!
Tracy and Andrew Holmes xx

From the moment I contacted Kelly I knew I had made the right choice for our wedding ceremony music. She was so easy to deal with, so helpful and made everything a breeze.
My 10yr old niece also sang at the ceremony and understandably she was slightly nervous once she got to the church, Kelly & Damien allowed extra time for her to pratice and guided her through it! They were just brilliant.
Kelly & Damien set the tone for the whole day, the music was just beautiful! Guests are still talking about them!
I can't wait to hear our wedding video back to listen to them all over again!

Kelly and Damien absolutely made our ceremony!! They were that good people who were sitting at the bag of the Chapel in Ballybeg thought it was a tape it was that polished!! They were really flexible around song choices and even helped us with music placement throughout the ceremony. My Pug was the ring bearer on the day and even he couldn't help joining in with the songs. I would recommend them to anyone with an upcoming wedding. Thanks again guys

Kelly and Damien were amazing!! True professionals. We planned our wedding in Cork all the way from Los Angeles and they were so easy to work with. We though they sounded great in the recordings online but were even better in person! They played for both our ceremony and cocktail reception and our guests were blown away.

Kelly and Damien sang at our small church wedding and they were perfect. Kelly gave us a great song list to choose from and helped us put the right songs in the right places.
The music was gorgeous and it gave us a great start to the day.
I would highly recommend them for any type of party or celebration .

We couldn’t recommend Kelly and Damien enough. They were so professional and lovely to deal with. The music was incredible. Kelly worked with us to select the church music. They played a nice selection for the drinks reception. They have a massive repertoire of cover songs and will learn new songs also. We were fortunate to have a hot, sunny wedding day. The music sounded great in the sun by the sea. Our guests were raving about it. Go on and book Something blue now…. You won’t regret it.

From the moment we got in touch with Kelly and Damien of Something Blue Acoustics we knew we had made the right choice. Not only were they quick to reply to any emails we sent them but they also had an extensive array of songs to choose from both from modern day songs and timeless classics. They even learned a special "rock" song that wasnt on their list and made it there own and it sounded even better.
All of our guests commented on how wonderful they were and how Kelly's wonderful voice mixed with Damien's guitar was perfect for the ceremony and kept our guests singing and joining in during the drinks reception.
Not only are these guys brilliant at what they do, they are also amazing people who will help you with any queries or worries you have about music for your ceremony. Believe me though, if you book Something Blue Acoustics you will have one less thing to worry about on your day as these guys take all the stress away and will have you relaxed with their wonderful music.
Superb band and superb people to deal with.

These guys are not only professional, quick to reply and fantastic at what they do - but they are simply a lovely lovely couple to have around on your wedding day. Kelly replied to us consistently within hours or minutes (!) of sending emails, they learned any song we requested and sang simply beautifully on the day.

The ceremony at my wedding was my absolute favorite part of the day and I loved having the time to sit quietly and listed to this gorgeous music. I couldn't recommend this duet highly enough.

My only regret after the ceremony was that I didn't get more time to enjoy their beautiful music during our champagne reception as I was running about getting photos taken and greeting guests - I however heard countless reports from guests of how fantastic they were.

Thank you Something Blue Acoustics for being such a lovely part of our special day :)

If we could have given more than 5 stars, we definitely would have. Finding Kelly and Damien to perform at our wedding was an absolute blessing. From the very first contact right through to the end, we never had a single doubt in our minds that we had chosen well. We hadn't given the music any consideration until one night in late January. From the very first contact, Kelly was so reassuring and instantly made us feel at ease. On the day, Kelly and Damien's passion came through in abundance, and the number of compliments we received from guests was inspiring; simply everyone loved them. Their performance of our entrance song brought tears to many eyes. Afterwards, in the bar, they continued to impress our guests with their melodic tones and their own special takes on some great classics. Their repetoire is so extensive, they managed to find something that suited guests of all ages. For anyone looking for music for their wedding, we have no hesitation in recommending Something Blue Acoustics. So many people are telling us that our wedding was the best they have ever attended, and we have absolutely no doubt in our minds that the music played a huge part in that. Thanks so much guys for helping to make the day all the more special with your beautiful sounds :-) xxx

We are delighted that we were lucky enough to book Kelly and Damien for our big day. In the lead up to the day, Kelly and Damien were hugely helpful with song selection, and giving us advice on how best to fit the music into the ceremony. Although we had a couple of unusual song selections, Kelly and Damien were more than happy to oblige, and performed them beautifully. Definitely a five star review and would absolutely recommend Something Blue Acoustics to anyone.

Something Blue Acoustics - just amazing! I could listen to them all day long...

I'm so delighted that I booked Kelly and Damien for our big day...
From the first email I sent, they were so quick to respond and professional to deal with. I asked for specific songs and were very obliging to sing them for us.
Everyone at our wedding were talking about the great music and were full of praise.

I would have no problems recommending Something Blue Acoustics, they are just fantastic.

We were very fortunate to have Kelly and Damian play at our wedding recently in Tipperary. I originally found them through the weddingsonline website, and went to view them at another wedding where I was blown away by not just their musical talents, but the different song options they had which was extremely important to us! On the day of our wedding, they played and sang beautifully and more than one guest commented to us on the day how amazing they had found the music. My husband has a little soft spot for rock music, and was more than impressed with the gorgeous version of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters that Damian played - even our priest liked it! They lifted our entire wedding ceremony with their music and we are so grateful to them!

Damien and Kelly are excellent at what they do and we cannot recommend them enough. They were so helpful to deal with and lovely to have around on the day. They learned off a number of songs for us that were not on the original playlist. We recieved nothing but compliments about their music on the day.

Absolutely fantastic musicians and a wonderful part of our day. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Don t Normaly write review s but had to this time Kelly and Damien were absolutely brilliant from start to finish , sound quality and choice of songs were outstanding ,from the way they interacted with our children and guests ,and hotel staff ,they sound much better in real life than there clips online ,delighted we chose them
Thanks to you both of you for making our day that bit extra special ,

There are no words that can do Kelly and Damien justice. Their talent and professionalism knows no bounds. From the very first email with Kelly we knew they where right for our day. Nothing was to much trouble, between song suggestions and taking on new songs to learn they where happy to do it. We cannot recommend Something Blue Acoustics any higher.
Thank you both for being part of our special day. You guys set a new standard for ceremony music.

We were absolutely delighted with Something Blue Acoustics!!! We feel so blessed to have found this amazingly talented musical duo. Firstly, they sound fantastic! Damien is an incredibly skilled guitarist and Kelly's voice is just so pure and beautiful and unique. My husband is a musician and, honestly, he has very high expectations re: live music. (as anyone should when hiring such important vendors for such a special event) My expectations were high too and Something Blue met them and succeeded them.

So they have talent which is the main thing you are looking for...but an added bonus while planning such a special happy event is that Kelly & Damien are also two of the nicest people you will ever meet. They were easy to interact with and prompt with responses. They showed up with big smiles on the day of our wedding and were extremely professional. Our guests (and us!) are still talking about how much they loved Something Blue. We asked Damien to provide acoustic guitar for our ceremony (so dreamy!) and then had Kelly sing while Damien played for our cocktail reception. This all took place outdoors on the grounds of Trudder Lodge and it sounded so beautiful. Later on, after dinner, Kelly and Damien stuck around to perform our first song so my husband and I could have our first dance under a beautiful tree in the back garden. We could not be more pleased with Something Blue. I highly encourage you to hire them...you will be very happy you did!
