An Amazing Band - Could not have Chosen Better
Daniel O booked The Whiskey Priests for their wedding in Merseyside
“The Whiskey Priests were excellent and the guests absolutely loved them. Amazing musicians who got everyone dancing. Being a Liverpool wedding, the audience know their Irish music and everyone was full of praise for the energy and musicianship. We requested Nick Lowe's 'Peace, Love and Understanding' for our first dance and it was perfect. Not a dry high in the house. Absolute professional...”
Fantastic Irish music - All guests loved them
Liam H booked The Whiskey Priests for their wedding in Cheshire
“Blew us and the wedding guests away with their Irish music, fantastic throughout, made our evening wedding reception so much better with their music.

They were absolutely FANTASTIC!
Tracey B booked Craic It Up for their wedding
“Wow! What a voice! We booked this band for our wedding reception and they were absolutely FANTASTIC! Lilac's voice and musical talent is outstanding. Throughout the entire process the communication was efficient and helpful, it was really beneficial to meet them online remotely prior to booking too and build up rapport beforehand. I 100% whole heartedly recommend them for any event.”

Every guest I spoke to said how amazing they were
Hannah H booked Country Cool for their wedding
“Lilac and the band were amazing from start to finish after we booked them for our wedding. Lilac was incredibly helpful in the planning process and nothing was too much trouble. She helped us organise our evening reception (of which I am forever grateful as neither of us had a clue!) and the band even learned our first dance song. They really got the party started, asking for crowd participation, ...”
