    The Waistcoats Wedding Band & Music for our entire day!

    Everything was absolutely amazing for our few days at Borgo Di Tragliata and we enjoyed it sooo much! The Waistcoats helped make the whole day go so smoothly, we never had to think twice about music or entertaining the guests during the day as we knew from the get go it was all in good hands!! They looked after our ceremony music, aperitif music, we used their mics and system for speeches and playing a playlist during the meal and they were our band and late night DJ. They made the process of picking set lists and choosing music super easy which we loved and had loads of recommendations.

    Amazing band!

    We had the pleasure of having The Waistcoats at our wedding as well as the day after too. They are simply amazing and had everyone up dancing as soon as they started, so many of our guests are still talking about how good they were!

    They were so easy to communicate with and were so helpful which made planning a wedding from abroad much easier. We booked The Waistcoats back in 2019 for our original date in 2020 and when we had to reschedule 3 times we always made sure The Waistcoats were available for the new date before finalising. The guys moved dates for us each time with no issues.

    We were so lucky to have The Waistcoats, not only are they amazing at what they do they are genuinely nice guys and so down to earth, we could not recommend them enough. If you want amazing music, singing and good fun at your big day get The Waistcoats booked you won't regret it!

    The perfect wedding band

    The Waistcoats were amazing. All of our guests said how much they enjoyed the band. They were very organised from the beginning and tailored the music to our tastes over two nights. We would highly recommend booking them for a wedding.

    Aperitif (Acoustic Duo) and DJ for the wedding reception

    Paul and Sal were great to work with in the lead up to the wedding. Very attentive and flexible with the songs. Plenty to choose from to suit different budgets and styles. On the day, the pair were amazing and we loved having the live music. The DJ that The Waistcoats supplied was also really good and had everyone up dancing. Definitely would recommend for a special day.

    Exceptional

    The waistcoats were an absolute dream to deal with. Exceptional service, professionalism and wonderfully talented musicians. All our song requests were catered for to perfection. We danced the night away and only wish we could do it all over again. Thank you so much to
    The Waistcoats.

    Paul and the crew are the ultimate professionals. Responsive and accommodating throughout preparation, flexible on wedding day and the guests are still talking about what was the party of the year. I would do it all over again!

    Perfect ending to our wedding weekend!

    We booked The Waistcoats for our Farewell Pizza Party the night after our wedding and are SO so glad we did! Everyone was up dancing and singing! The music was great and had a good mix for everyone to enjoy!

    Thank you again for making it so memorable for us.

    Great Sound, Great Guys, Great Time

    From the very start we have been nothing but impressed by The Waistcoats. Their back catalogue of music is extensive and they sound fantastic. Our wedding was postponed due to covid on 3 occasions, however the band remained supportive and assisted where they could with moving dates etc.
    We only have positive things to say about them. The music was great, our guests and us danced all night and had a fantastic time. Our only wish is that we could do it all again. I would 100% recommend The Waistcoats to anyone.

    Absolutely Fantastic!

    Coming from Ireland and planning a wedding in a country other than Ireland is a huge task to undertake. Paul and the lads made it so much easier when it came to the music part of the wedding. The team fully exceeded our expectations by keeping all of our guests involved with their music. They were extremely approachable and quick to get back to our queries. On the day of the wedding they were absolutely fantastic and got every single guest going. The guests sang high praises on the day and the days after. Suffice to say, all of us were thoroughly impressed and we ourselves were very glad that we went with The Waistcoats for our wedding music requirements.

    Made the day even better

    Paul and The Waistcoats played an unbelievable gig for us at the wedding, everyone really enjoyed the whole day. They played perfectly at our ceremony and had everyone out on the floor for the party! Such a great bunch of professionals and even better musicians!

    Couldnt recommend enough!

    I couldnt recommend the Waistcoats enough! Paul was very response via email and helpful in leading us throught the booking process and picking the song list.

    A couple of songs I wanted to include in our ceremony were not on their playlist but Framcesco the piano player learned them anyway which was so accomodation. Fransesco did amazing job in our ceremony and the whole band then played accousticly through our reception our guests to absalute great delight and many mentioned to me during the day how incredible the band was.

    Once we wanted to start the party Paul and Sal took over and had everyone on the dancefloor in seconds and I dont think anyone left after that.

    Thank you Waistcoats for helping us making our day last long into the night and create memories our guests will certainly remember.

    I can’t say enough positive lovely words about The Waistcoats. They were so lovely to deal with! Their music is amazing! It was day two of our wedding & they had everyone up dancing! It was so perfect. Highly recommend booking these guys for your wedding day/ day 2 or a special event.

    Amazing wedding band in Italy!

    What can I say...the Waistcoats couldn't have been more amazing! From the first correspondence with Paul, who was extremely professional and accommodating, we knew they were exactly what we were looking for in a band for our wedding. They have an amazing range of songs to choose from (something to suit everyone) and played everything we requested. My uncle even got up to sing with them! We danced the entire night (my feet are still sore). Our guests are still taking about how brilliant they were, which is just amazing to hear. I couldn't recommend them more! If you are looking for a wedding band in Italy, look no further than the Waistcoats!

    Just perfect 👌🏼

    Thank you so much to these guys!

    Such kind guys! Nothing was too much and I sent my fair few of emails lol

    The music WOW! Unreal! From the start of the ceremony to the end of the wedding. Every single guest was up on their feet and the amount of comments they made were nothing but praise and positive feedback
    I would highly recommend the waistcoats to anyone x

    Top class band that make the occasion

    I first contacted the waistcoats just under one year ago. as we wanted an Irish type band for our wedding in Sicily. From first contact Sal was excellent - he was very responsive and understanding. we booked them for our wedding day and a second day BBQ with the wedding party. Our guests couldnt believe we could get such a good band in Sicily and felt it just topped off their weekend. The band played some personal songs for our day that we asked them to learn one being "the boys of county armagh " which i think was requested and played 4 times over the course of the weekend and went down an absolute treat. Sal, Paul and the other band members are really personable people and it was a pleasure to meet them as well as have them perform. They are a key piece in the jigsaw for the music aspect of the wedding and will help the celebrations go another level.

We and all our guests love their music and we’re happy. If you want professional and extremely nice people you are right here!

    Amazing Wedding Band

    We were lucky enough to have The Waistcoats perform at our Irish wedding in Tuscany, Italy. They played during our church ceremony, during the aperitifs and at the after party. They were amazing. They were good value and extremely responsive. They were super professional to deal with prior to our big day and on the day itself. We would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a professional wedding band with a great sound and who are great fun!

    Fantastic from start to finish

    I can't speak highly enough of The Waistcoats, from start to finish they were so easy to deal with and very approachable and accommodating. Any questions or special requests were not a problem.

    They played throughout our day from the ceremony to the reception and were fantastic. Everyone danced and had a ball. They were so lovely and chilled to have there on the day. I cannot recommend them highly enough for a wedding in Italy.

    Amazing band!

    The waistcoats are amazing! They took care of all the music for us on the day from the ceremony, aperitif and after dinner dancing. The Piano playing during the ceremony was beautiful. The aperitif was a great mix of songs, chilled out and exactly what we wanted then they took it up a gear and got everyone up dancing. We were so happy with every aspect of the music. I would recommend these guys in a heart beat to anyone getting married in Italy. Wish I could do it all again. My new husband Leo and I would like to thank The Waistcoats for so much craic on our wedding day.
