“We cannot express enough how incredible Neil and The Trips were at our wedding at Ballymagarvey Village. From the moment we first connected with Neil, we knew his band would be the perfect fit for our special day. His talent and energy shone through in every interaction, Neil sang at our ceremony and returned later in the evening to set up with the band.

Neil’s performance during our ceremony was nothing short of magical. His has an amazing voice and gave the entire ceremony an emotional and intimate atmosphere, and we couldn’t have asked for a better soundtrack to such a special moment. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful his singing was—it truly made the ceremony unforgettable.

Later that evening, Neil and The Trips took our reception to the next level! The band was absolutely phenomenal. They brought such an incredible energy to the night, and they had everyone on the dance floor from the first song to the very last. The music was perfect, and they were so adaptable, playing a fantastic mix of songs that kept everyone, from young to old, dancing and enjoying the night. The sound quality was excellent, and the band’s enthusiasm was contagious.

We’ve received endless compliments from our guests about how amazing the music was, and we honestly can’t recommend Neil and The Trips enough. If you’re looking for a band that will bring both heart and energy to your wedding day, look no further! Thank you, Neil, and the entire band, for making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable!”

“We cannot recommend The Trips enough! So many of our guests were asking us what’s their name so they can recommend them to their nearest and dearest. Neil was absolutely superb, and so responsive! There wasn’t a soul who wasn’t on the dance floor and their finishing song was a really special moment that will forever be instilled in our memories! Thank you so much!”

“We could not recommend The Trips enough! They truly made our night so special.
We had a bigger wedding (200 people) - half from the U.S. and half from Ireland. Every single person I talked to afterwards raved about the band. Many of them told me it was the best wedding band they have ever heard. Everyone was on their feet dancing and singing along with each other.
We had a few unique recommendations that the band went above and beyond to learn and play. They were so great to work with from the start. Neil was always super responsive and knowledgeable.
Again, I can not recommend them enough.”

“Do not hesitate, for even a second, to book the Trips. The music aspect of the wedding was the most important element to me, in planning the day; a great lively setlist, talented musicians and superb vocalists were what I was looking for, and the Trips went above and beyond my expectations. There is nothing generic about this group of lads, and whilst enjoying their set, it’s impossible to deny that they are experts in their craft, and talented beyond belief; giving the feel of a really authentic gig experience. To top it off, Neil is an absolute gentleman to deal with, and very open to queries about specific songs or adding music from their expansive repertoire to the setlist. I sincerely hope that we will get to see the Trips live again someday, they were such a highlight for myself, my husband and so many of our guests, thanks so much!”

“We recently had The Trips play at our wedding in Clonabreany House and they were amazing! From the first email right up to the last song, Neil and gang were a pleasure to deal with! The floor was full all night and we are still getting feedback from guests about how good our band was! Their mix of songs suited all generations which can be tricky at weddings! Do not hesitate to book these guys if you’re thinking about it, you will not be disappointed!!””

“Hugely recommend, highlight of our wedding! From the very first email, Neil was super friendly and approachable. He helped us build an amazing set list for our wedding, and all our guests had an absolute ball – including my wife’s 92 year old grandmother! Honestly, these guys put on a hell of a show, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone!”

“We used the Trips for our winter wedding in December 2022. We had a very positive experience with them. Having not seen them before we took a punt from a recommendation on “onefabday.com”. Watched a couple of online videos and booked them. 

It really paid off. They were great. Very easy to deal with. We only meet Neil a couple of weeks out from the wedding on a skype call and knew after a short few mins, that these guys knew what they were doing.  He totally put us at ease. Very open to anything we suggested and no problem building any requests into the set. They also do the DJ set which makes things very easy. On the night they kept the dance floor rocking and full all night. Everybody had a great time and loads of our guests said afterwards the band were class. Some had all sorts of aches and pains as they hadn’t danced that much in years.

Very professional, looked the part, arrived on time and created the party atmosphere we were dreaming off.

Would highly recommend THE TRIPS for any couple getting married.”

“We are so appreciative that the Trips were able to play on our wedding day. From seeing your promo video, we knew you were the wedding band we wanted! The communication leading up to the day with you was great and really put us at ease on what to expect.

Your music at the ceremony and the band’s set was definitely one of the main highlights for James and I. The ceremony music was beautiful and made the ceremony extra special for us. And as for the band’s set, what can we say only that it was amazing! All our guests raved about the music and how much fun they had dancing. When meeting friends since the wedding, your performance is definitely one the parts of the day that people have mentioned how much they enjoyed. Your energy, talent and ability to involve the crowd made it such a great night. I don’t think I left the dance floor at all! And I just loved the ending to the night with the ukulele performance of ‘Can’t help Falling in Love’, it was such a special way to end the set. We will definitely be recommending you to anyone we know getting married. We hope that we get to see you play at another wedding in the near future!

“Where do I even start? The Trips were hands down, the best thing about our entire wedding! We booked as soon as we had a date as we knew they would be incredible, and we weren’t wrong. The Trips absolutely rocked the dance floor for the entire night. Dealing with Neil to book and the lead up to the big day was was seamless, he is an absolute gentleman, a pleasure to deal with. We had a range of ages at our wedding but everyone was on their feet dancing away to the INCREDIBLE songs throughout the whole night. Neil was DJ straight after and there was an electric buzz on the floor, every choice of song seemed to get better and better. I cannot stress enough how amazing they were! We’ve had friends book them already for weddings since, it’s the best decision you could make. Guaranteed to be the best thing you do for your big day!
Nobody will remember what your chicken vol-au-vent tasted like or what colour your flowers were, but they’ll be talking about The Trips for weeks and months after! 💕”

“Musical tastes are individual. What is universally appreciated is talented, hard working and professional musicians entertaining the crowd all night at a fair price.

After a thorough online search for a wedding band we found The Trips. From the outset it was clear The Trips are a professional and efficient outfit. They sang and played excellently and were prompt and pleasant in their dealings with potential customers. They kept the dance floor full and drew praise from all quarters.

We have no hesitation in recommending The Trips for a wedding. They are excellent. You will not regret it.”

“Having seen The Trips at another wedding, we couldn’t wait to have them play on our own big day. Safe to say our expectations were met and exceeded! Neil was an absolute pleasure to deal with from the initial email right up to the day of the wedding. He was so friendly, accommodating and professional the whole way through and we were delighted that we booked Neil for the ceremony music and The Trips for the evening reception and DJ. Nothing was too much trouble and the band were more than happy to learn a few songs for us, including our first dance and walking down the aisle song (which sounded amazing!!) Once the band started, the dance floor was full for the night. So many guests mentioned how amazing the band were and how much fun they had on the dance floor. The older guests also commented about how fantastic the music was to listen to and how talented the musicians were. They played a great range of songs that suited all ages! The music was one of the biggest highlights for us on the day and it was a huge part of why the day was so special and memorable for us. A huge thanks to The Trips for everything and if any other couples were considering  them for their wedding, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”
