A wedding band a run down the M9 to Kilkenny
Kilkenny is one of the most popular wedding counties in the country, with a brilliant mix of country estates and a medieval city full of character. The motorway makes it a clean run from Dublin, so being city-based keeps your travel costs down. We arrive in good time, set up quickly and tidily and leave the room as we found it, which is a big part of why venues recommend us.
Kilkenny wedding venues we love
Kilkenny has some of the finest wedding venues in the country. A few couples often ask us about:
- Mount Juliet Estate, a Georgian estate and resort near Thomastown.
- Lyrath Estate, a grand hotel set in parkland on the edge of the city.
- Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel, a city-centre option for a larger guest list.
- Ballyduff House, an exclusive Georgian country house on the River Nore.
If your Kilkenny venue is not on this list, that is no problem at all. We play new rooms across the county all the time.
Sound limiters and Kilkenny venues
Kilkenny’s big estates are roomy and band-friendly. A few country houses and marquees run a sound limiter where neighbours are close. We are used to both and will tell you straight how we set up there. There is more in our guide to sound limiters.
Which lineup suits a Kilkenny wedding
For the big estate suites at Mount Juliet or Lyrath, the Suitcase Seven fills the room with brass and multiple vocalists. For an intimate city room or a tighter budget, the four-pieces (Sessions South, East and West) deliver the same energy in a smaller setup. Tell us your venue and we will point you to the right fit.
