Amazing!!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Larry and Joe perform at our family wedding, and they were nothing short of extraordinary. Their mastery of the fiddle and piano brought an enchanting energy to our celebration, weaving a rich and soulful soundtrack that made the day even more magical.

From the very first interaction, their communication was impeccable—professional, warm, and accommodating. They made the entire process seamless, ensuring that every detail was just right. Beyond their incredible talent, they are genuinely wonderful people who brought kindness and joy to our special day. Their music touched every guest, creating moments that we will cherish forever.

If you are looking for musicians who embody both skill and heart, we cannot recommend Celtic K highly enough. They are truly a gift, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had them as part of our wedding celebration!

Relaxed, Enjoyable, Would Book Again

I booked half of the Celtic Ks for St Paddy's Day. We are a smaller venue and two people made sense. The Celtic K's did a 4 hour set did a wonderful job. They had some great Irish tunes, and did a few sing-a-longs as well. I would definitely hire them again!

Amazing! Great Celtic Music

I hired the Celtic K's for a St. Patrick's Day Happy Hour at our facility and what a great performance they gave. I will be hiring the band again in the future.
