Eadaoin and her accompanying guitarist Adam were the most perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. We were blown away with the quality of the music they provided.
Their set during our drink reception was equally stunning and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful, fitting and special this part of the day was. We only wish we could have heard more of their talented performance ourselves.
We are both so thrilled with this aspect of our wedding day, and want to extend our love and gratitude to both performers. I do not have the words to fully express how delighted we both are to have found Eadaoin through Hireaband.
