So, FH and I got engaged on a trip he planned for us to Ireland. We both come from fairly Irish families and we fell in love with the country in our time there.
We don't have much concrete planned for our wedding just yet, but the idea just popped into my head that a lovely way to incorporate our engagement and heritage could be to have Irish music playing for some time. I would still want a DJ later on so dancing would be more accessible but something sounds so lovely about having live Irish music played for some portion of the evening - maybe cocktail hour and dinner? I can't think of anything more evocative of our time in Ireland than beautiful music floating through the air while our guests enjoy a bit of craic!
I'm just toying with the idea now so I'm curious what other bride's experiences might have been with this. What kind of prices did you find for live musicians? Would it be weird to only have live music for an hour or two? Would Irish reels grate your nerves as a guest?
(Very open to hearing about ALL experiences with live musicians, not just Irish musicians)
