We have a long list of guests musicians, Irish step dancers and dance schools we have worked with. As a result, we can tailor our music to practically anything you'd like. We had a world-class step dancer teach the wedding couple a choreographed dance for their wedding the month before, then taught some simple dances to everyone at the reception. We have learned dozens of special musical pieces for weddings over the years. Our goal is to make your event as special and memorable as possible through music or music and dance. We work hard to make your event special.

We will work with you to develop a program of music for your wedding or other event, with no obligation to book us until you feel ready to do so. Our product is good, and if we cannot sell it, then shame on us. If it is not exactly what you are looking for, then we will have no hard feelings if you do not book us.
