Wow! I can’t say enough amazing things about The Waistcoats! We looked at so many bands (often for way more money without justification) and none of them had what we were looking for- a group who can play top hits to get your guests going, but also be professional and responsible enough to manage the mood of you evening and a lot of logistical things. We also had a very elegant wedding, but wanted fun music, which can be difficult to pull off. Sal and the band made it happen! Classical piano when guests walked in, Italian folk music during dinner, and every dance hit our guests were looking for after dancing. Sal was always so prompt and kind in emails. We were so busy before the wedding we got our song requests in really late and they still made it happen. We are from USA and travelled to Italy for our wedding. The cultural differences were often difficult to manage for other vendors in our wedding, but never The Waistcoats. I put my full trust in them to manage music, first dance, announcements, speeches, etc. and they were perfect. I can’t tell you what a relief it was to have them managing things so flawlessly (and we hd some pretty specific requests they managed). Wish we could do it all again!

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.
