Davey Music Weddings provides traditional Irish, liturgical, classical and contemporary music for weddings throughout Northern Ireland and beyond. Directed by Belfast musician Patrick Davey, the musicians can provide live music for the wedding ceremony, drinks reception, dinner and evening celebrations, with packages tailored around each couple and their plans for the day.

With more than 30 years' experience performing at weddings, Davey Music combines accomplished musicianship with a flexible, personal service. Couples can choose individual parts of the day or build a complete package of live music from the ceremony through to the evening entertainment.

Wedding Ceremony Music

Davey Music can provide live wedding ceremony music for church, civil and other wedding ceremonies. The repertoire can combine traditional Irish music with liturgical pieces, light classical music and contemporary choices, allowing couples to create a programme that feels personal while remaining appropriate to the ceremony and venue.

Patrick can help couples plan the musical moments throughout the ceremony and offers a substantial catalogue of tunes, hymns and songs to make choosing the music easier. Where appropriate, the musicians can also work with a couple's own singer or other performers.

Traditional Irish Music for Drinks Receptions

The drinks reception is where Davey Music can turn up the energy with traditional Irish dance tunes, reels, jigs and songs. A typical trio can feature instruments such as uilleann pipes, flute or whistle, fiddle and harp, creating an unmistakably Irish atmosphere while guests relax after the ceremony.

This is particularly popular for couples welcoming guests from outside Ireland who want to include an authentic flavour of Irish music as part of the wedding day.

Music During the Wedding Dinner

Live background music can also be provided during the wedding meal. The style can be kept relaxed and elegant, giving guests live entertainment without overpowering conversation and providing a natural musical link between the drinks reception and evening celebrations.

Céilí Band & Evening Entertainment

For couples who want to continue the traditional theme into the evening, Davey Music can provide folk and céilí entertainment. The Blackstaff Céilí Band & Folk Group performs Irish folk favourites, contemporary songs and instrumental music and can provide music for traditional céilí dances where audience participation is part of the fun.

The evening option works equally well as the main entertainment or as part of a wider programme alongside other performers or a DJ.

Tunes of Note – A Piece Written for Your Wedding

For something especially personal, Davey Music offers its Tunes of Note service. An original piece of Irish traditional music can be commissioned and performed on the wedding day, creating a unique musical gift for a partner or for the couple from a family member or friend.

It is a distinctive way of adding a piece of music to the day that belongs specifically to the couple and can remain part of their story long after the wedding itself.
