A massive thank you to Take 3 who played at our wedding afters last Friday. They created the perfect atmosphere for our small wedding party , but still had people up dancing. We have received so many compliments from our guests about them and they were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Thanks again guys for adding that extra special touch to our day!

?I had take 3 trio at the drinks reception of my wedding day. They were great. Lively, entertaining, professional and created just the right atmosphere to build everyone up for the main reception. Their music catered for all ages and loads of my guests were raving about them. Not too loud that you couldn't chat but loud enough to sing along to! Would highly recommend take 3 trio?

?We had an office night in the Radisson hotel in Stillorgan. We had about 40 people in attendance of a mixed age group. The trio played for us and we had a fantastic night with a great atmosphere. The band had us all dancing and everybody really enjoyed themselves. We even had a few singers amongst our group who took to the stage and were easily accommodated by the trio. The music provided suitable all types and the band were able to cater for all tastes. I would highly recommend them for a night's entertainment.?
"Take 3 recently played at our wedding in the Brooklodge and i can honestly say that on a day when nothing went wrong and everything went well, several guests went out of their way to ask specifically about the lads as they were highly impressed. Very professional presentation and quality delivered... I would recommend them without hesitation."

"Take Three played during the drinks reception of our wedding last July in Fitzpatrick Castle, Killiney. We found them very professional, from the initial booking to their presentation on the day. Many of our guests mentioned that they had thoroughly enjoyed their style, commenting that they had created a lively yet laid back atmosphere. Having been to many weddings before our own, we were so aware that the music is very important and we wanted to be happy in the knowledge that our guests would be entertained while we were having photos taken. We were absolutely delighted with them and?we recommend them unreservedly".
