About

On WeddingWire since 2007

Imagine shimmering Celtic melodies on flute, harp, guitar and fiddle surrounding you as you float down the aisle. The ancient airs that have accompanied brides since the days of Braveheart and Riverdance are yours now offered by the best Celtic musicians available.

From bagpipes to fiddles and flutes, to bodhrans (drums) let us evoke for you the sweet ritual of the ceremony, and carry you into the joyous celebration of your reception with lively dance tunes.

Based in the DC, Maryland and Virginia metropolitan area, we travel to anywhere that you are having your wedding. Specializing in Celtic ceremony/cocktail/reception music, Irish and Scottish ceremony music, and Ceilidh dance music we bring the extra sparkle to your magical day.

Our team of professional musicians has appeared in prestigious venues throughout the country like the Kennedy Center, the White House, Strathmore Hall, and many more. You and your guests will enjoy the enchanting sounds of Celtic music from the time the bride walks down the aisle, to the last dance of the night.

Pure Magic!

We hired a five-piece ensemble for our wedding, and they played before the ceremony, our recessional, reception cocktail hour, "first dance," and during dinner. The music was beautiful, and not only were the musicians exceptional and first-rate professionally, they seemed to enjoy themselves, too, rather than simply playing another "gig." The coordinator, Elise Kress, was instrumental in helping us plan the music portion of the wedding and reception. Our guests were as impressed and as enchanted as we were. I most highly recommend Celtic Music for Your Wedding, and thank them for contributing to a magical experience.
