Susan Rowland was the best choice of musician for our church wedding ceremony. She was very responsive to all communication from us and had a great selection of songs and instrumental available. We were easily able to choose from her listing but were assured that special requests would be possible too.
On the day itself the entrance tune was my main memory...after that everything just flowed perfectly. Loved it, still beaming! We would highly recommend!

Both Susan & Bridget performed at our small family wedding ceremony in Knightsbrook Hotel in Trim on 01.08.16 and from the first point of contact onwards their help, guidance & communication were nothing short of professionalism at its best. They assisted and guided us on the structure of the ceremony, which pieces of music would fit where, how long they should be and what should we expect. Even though their repertoire is extensive they learned the songs we personally wanted and played alternate versions of the originals we liked which made it even more personal to us. On the day they arrived when they said they would, gear was set up with no problems and the sound levels were perfect. Both Susan & Bridget are lovely and very friendly people and blended seamlessly into our family occasion. Their renditions of both songs & instrumentals were note perfect and their performance set the mood for the day. Compliments came from all our guests on how great these ladies performed, among them were musicians themselves. We strongly recommend these performers. Daniel & Carmel

Susan and Brigid performed the ceremonial music on our wedding day. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

From our first point of contact and all the way through to the beautiful performance of La Mer (Beyond the Sea) as we exited the church, they have been truly professional.

We received a huge amount of compliments from our friends and family on the style and performance of the church music.

Other than the beautiful performance of our chosen music, we have to compliment the duos flexibility. They have a large catalogue of material to choose from and were only too happy to play other material that was special to Aisling and me. In particular, Jose Gonzalez's Heartbeats and U2's Beautiful Day.

You will not be disappointed if you avail of the Susan Rowland Duo's services.

Susan and Bridget played for our wedding ceremony in November 2015. They were absolutely fantastic, the music was just beautiful and almost 2 months after our wedding, guests are still talking about them! From the very first email I sent, it was always a quick and very helpful reply. For a bride & Groom that were completely clueless about organising a wedding ceremony, we were instantly put at ease when dealing with Susan & Bridget. I really cannot recommend them highly enough!! Thanks again Ladies, Charlie, Grainne & Donnacha x

Susan and Bridget performed at our wedding ceremony. Their music and singing was absolutely stunning. They made our ceremony more special than we could have hoped for. Everyone commented on how good they were, even the priest from the altar. Susan has an extensive list of songs and was very helpful with suggestions where we weren't sure. A pleasure to deal with, 5 stars. Would recommend to anyone.

Susan and Bridget provided music for our civil wedding ceremony last Friday at Finnstown.
They did an amazing job.
We really loved the music and it added so much to what was a beautiful and personal ceremony. So many people commented on the ceremony and the music. It set us up for what was a really lively and happy day.

It was a pleasure to work with them or the last few months, they responded to all our contacts quickly and professionally and gave valuable input into the design of the ceremony. We are happy to recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing wedding singer.

I could not fault these two ladies. I wanted a mixture of instrumental music along with a couple of vocal songs. Both Susan and Bridget were very happy to learn any new material that I had wanted. The instrumental songs that I had chosen were very special songs for me and they played them to a t. Because they learned some of the songs especially for my ceremony , they were happy to send me a demo for me to listen to.

Another thing was that they offered suggestions as to what songs would go best at the gospel, psalmd etc which made my decision making a lot easier.

After the ceremony lots of guests were complimenting the music!

I could not recommended these ladies enough. Fantastic!

It is a month since our wedding and people are still telling me how lovely the music was! I have absolutely no hesitation at all recommending Susan and Bridget if you are looking for music for your ceremony. I picked them from listening to loads of wedding singers/musicians online. They both play instruments and both have beautiful singing voices. Most artists have similar song choices, but I had some songs I wanted personally and Susan and Bridget were happy to do them, I just emailed a youtube clip of someone playing a piece of music and they did it beautifully on the day. They were great at coming back to emails promptly (rare with wedding suppliers!) and at advising about particular sections of the Mass I wasn't sure about music choices for.
I didn't think I would notice the music so much on the day as there was so much going on, but I did and I loved it, I was so happy I chose them, as it was just so beautiful. And we had so many compliments after the ceremony about how good the music was. I had been told that as the bride, you never get to meet the musicians, as they are set up when you arrive and you leave before them, so I had thanked them in advance, but Susan made a point of running down the aisle to say hello to me (after the ceremony) and wish me a happy day. If you are torn between 2 suppliers, pick these!

The music that Susan and Bridget played for us was one of the best parts of our spectacular wedding day in Ireland!

We're from the US, and planning a wedding abroad was difficult with every vendor except Susan Rowland.

During the planning phase, Susan was very responsive by email to all of our questions. She respectfully and subtly steered us towards better music choices for our ceremony than we had originally planned. She was flexible with how we wanted the equipment set up, but also professional and organized enough that we knew we could count on her.

On the day of the ceremony, Susan and Bridget arrived early and took it upon themselves to reroute their power cords such that they would not show up in any of our pictures. They were very concerned that everything be just the way we wanted it for our wedding day.

Of course, none of this great service would matter if the music didn't sound good. It was better than good! One of our songs was "A Thousand Years," so I have heard it on the radio many times since last June. It never sounds as good as the version Susan sang for us. And that's not just emotions talking as we recorded the whole ceremony, and I've listened to it many times.

We had a very small guest list (16 people, including us), so our reception was not the typical wedding party. Susan and Bridget were able to choose songs and play in a way that made everyone's experience better without trying to become the center of attention. It was like we had a couple more family members there who happened to be playing great/fun music for us! The reception ended with a song that Susan and Bridget learned just for us, and it was perfect.

From beginning to end, Susan gave us confidence that she could deliver great music for our wedding, and that's exactly what she did!

Susan and Bridget played at our wedding ceremony and then at our after-dinner party in September and they were in a word fantastic. I cannot fault them. From our first contact with them last year, they were nothing but helpful and were so accommodating and patient with myself and my now husband and our strange requests. Susan your voice is even more beautiful live! We were so delighted that we went with them. Thank you both so much. Eleanor and John

Susan & Bridget are amazing women. We met them to put together the ceremony music and it ended up being like a little private concert for us. They are so lovely and helpful when we were lost in a sea of ideas. The day was magical and I was glued to them throughout the ceremony. They also played at our pre-reception and although I didn't hear much- unfortunately as we were taking pictures- everybody has commented on how talented they were. They even let our niece have a go :-) We couldn't recommend them highly enough- they are very talented, thoughtful and simply lovely people. Just who you want to deal with when it comes to a special day like this.

Susan and Bridget were amazing at our civil ceremony and pre-dinner in Ballymagarvey in February. Susan your recordings don't do your voice justice you sounded stunning on the day. (And you said I wouldn't hear most of it because of the excitement!) Thank you, thank you and thank you again for making our ceremony so memorable and getting the party started BEFORE dinner.

My husband and I got married on the 7th of September this year and Susan Rowland performed for us at both the church and our drinks reception. I would highly recommend Susan to any couple getting married as she was just amazing from start to finish. Every dealing I had with Susan in the months leading up to our wedding she was incredibly helpful and had no problem learning any song I requested. Our quest are still talking about how beautiful the music was and my husband and I couldn't have been more pleased. I would like to say a huge thank you to Susan and Bridget. xxx

Hi Susan and Bridget,
Thank you so much for the wonderful music you supplied at our wedding 24th July. From the moment I spoke to you on the phone Susan, I knew that you "got" both myself and Paul and what we wanted for our Church Ceremony. Listening to your Cloud's Veil at Communion was one of the highlights of the day for both of us. It was so moving. Everyone commented on the music and how elegant it sounded. Thanks again for making our day so memorable.
Kind regards.
