The Waistcoats - The Irish Italian Wedding Band in Italy

Booking the band was one of the things that I was most worried about as it is usually recommended that you listen to the band before you book. I found the Waistcoats online and from the moment I emailed with a query Paul was amazing. He was so quick at getting back to me and provisionally booked us in while we confirmed other details. Paul and Sal were so helpful in organising the SIAE licence for the wedding and leased with hotel to sort out practical details for us. This was a massive help to us and reduced stress in the run up to the wedding. On the day the band were amazing from start to finish. I had classical piano music for the ceremony and this was very romantic and suited the setting. The band played the aperitif at the hotel while we were getting photographs and went down a hit with all guests. After the meal the band then played for a few hours, unfortunately we were restricted to 12:30am finish due to laws in Rome for music on an outside terrace. The playlist options had songs to suit all tastes and the band even learnt a few songs for us. The guests were blown away by the band and kept asking where I had found them. They nicknamed Sal, the Italian Hosier. I would recommend The waistcoats to anyone planning a wedding abroad as they really helped make our day amazing. The support they gave us in months and weeks before wedding was really appreciated and meant we could relax and focus on other things. We would like to say a massive Thank- you to Paul, Sal and the rest of the band.

If you are looking for an Irish wedding band in Italy - look no further!! Booking a wedding band for a foreign wedding can be daunting however we were so lucky to have found The Waistcoats. From the first email sent they were so accommodating and as time went on and the 5 star reviews kept coming in we became more and more comfortable in our decision. The guys have a huge array of songs to choose from and what really appealed to us was their ability to play songs for young and old at the wedding. Paul & the guys were so accommodating when it came to learning some new songs for our first dance as well. The cherry on top was the acoustic set that they performed as we arrived at our wedding venue which set the tone so perfectly. We have received so many compliments on our choice of band - a true testament to the quality of the Waistcoats. If we could give a 6 star review we would - the Waistcoats are well worth it!

The Waistcoats played at our wedding in Tuscany on 7th July and we couldn’t have been happier! Paul was super responsive in the planning and they even learnt a favourite song of mine. Francesco played classical music before/during the ceremony and then they played a fantastic acoustic set over aperitifs. The band let us use their microphones & set up for speeches and they provided a great playlist during dinner. The main event was the live set in the evening where the boys did a stellar job of getting everyone up & dancing, even pulling “Summer of ‘69” out of the bag when they had a special request from one of our guests, apparently it was the first time they’d played it but they delivered it like true professionals. Finally, they delivered a DJ set at the end of the night using a playlist that I’d put together beforehand. The Waistcoats helped to make our day so amazing, I would highly recommend them for any wedding or special occasion.
