"We had Party Folk play at our wedding and they were honestly better then I could have ever imagined.
Steve and Geoff are absolutely lovely and were so friendly and accommodating up to the event. They
even learned our first dance song for us. They made our day so special. Also the vocals are SO GOOD.
Couldn't recommend them more 👌"

"We were looking for a modern Irish band to play at our autumn barn wedding and when we found
Party Folk we knew they were perfect! They played some great modern upbeat Irish songs, mixed in with other pop and rock classics, getting everyone on the dance floor and a great fit for our amazing wedding.
Cannot thank Geoff and Steve enough for everything and making our day so memorable and special.
Thanks so much! x"

"We had Party Folk play our recent wedding at Northbrook Park and they were incredible! The dance floor was full from start to finish, with the band bringing so much energy to the evening.
We requested a number of songs from their repertoire, which they played all of, and we left the remaining time for them to play what worked with the crowd on the night - We had an Irish twist to our wedding, and the band were the perfect group who delivered brilliantly! We had multiple guests asking who the band were and complimenting them for really making the evening what it was.
We had an amazing day, and a brilliant evening, helped made possible by Party Folk.
We would thoroughly recommend anyone considering getting a band to book with Party Folk!"
