Common questions
Most Irish couples spend between €300 and €1,500, which is roughly 2% of a typical €37,000 wedding budget. One supplier listed here has a published price so far: €250, too small a sample to call a real average yet. Prices are higher in Dublin and lower in the midlands and border counties.
About 6 months before the wedding is normal. For a Saturday in June, July or August, book earlier. The most in-demand suppliers in Ireland are gone 18 months out for peak dates. Off-peak and midweek dates are far easier.
Get everything in writing and compare like with like. How long is the performance and when does it work best? Do you need power, space or a stage? Ask each supplier the same set of questions and put the answers side by side. The cheapest quote is often the one with the most stripped out of it.
No, and it is free for suppliers too. There is no listing fee, no commission and no paid placement. Ranking comes from the enquiries and reviews couples actually generate, so nobody can buy their way above a better supplier.
