Hey Chris had to message as Friday was INSANE!!!!!!! You guys were unreal, the floor was bouncing all night and everyone loved it. Had so many people saying how great you guys were! Thanks again it was just amazing, I couldn’t have imagined anyone else playing for us ❤️ and thanks again for learning those songs!!! Legend xxx
We booked Chris for our day after wedding party and he was absolutely incredible! From beginning to end, he had the whole room singing and dancing with his brilliant energy. Chris is incredibly talented and we felt so lucky to have him as part of our celebrations. He’s an absolute talent and all round lovely guy - we’ll be asking you back! Thanks so much, the O’Connors.
The Cartel.
Well….what can I say about this incredible band.
I’ve had the upmost pleasure of knowing Chris for many years having first met him at one of his famous gigs at Jinty McGintys. There is no better Wednesday night to be had.
Chris is one of the most genuine people I know and his professionalism and enthusiasm as a musician is second to none and it’s an absolute honour to be able to call this man a friend.
The 29th October was the best day of my life, marrying my best friend and being so lucky to have the Cartel absolutely rocking the place and filling the dance floor from start to finish. I cannot thank them enough. Four gentleman that made our day absolutely perfect.
I encourage anyone that’s having a special event to book The Cartel asap and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much guys
Love Blair and Alyson
Ps Chris Suckle is the F’n man 😎
We had the most amazing night!
Thank you for helping to make our day so special and for being so accommodating with
our requests. A great selection of songs that got everyone onto the dance floor all night!
My husband and I got married on the 14.10.23 at Oswald House. We first met Chris
January 2022 and instantly felt at ease with him. We met Chris at a wedding fair and
booked him that same evening!
Chris is such a talented musician but also just such a lovely, happy and friendly person to
be around. And that is so, so important on such a special day. We had lots of
communication to Chris prior to our big day, and he was so helpful with song
recommendations and suggestions on the lead up to our
day.
Chris sang myself and my bridesmaids down the aisle, whilst we were singing the register
and back up the aisle and every second was absolutely amazing.
He learned new songs for us close to the wedding, which we really appreciated. I felt
having live music throughout it the day would set the tone for our wedding day and Chris'
acoustic set did absolutely that! S
Although due to me being over polite and chatting to our hundreds of guests, never spent
as much time on the dance floor as would have liked, it was constantly full which tells you
all you need to know about Chris and his band. His rendition of 'Lover' for our first dance
was the best I've ever heard (and I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan)!
Chris and his team are just absolutely amazing and we are so grateful for you all.
Definitely recommend!
Thank you again,
The Flemings x
We booked The Cartel for our wedding and it was the second best decision we made that
day! & They absolutely wowed our guests playing all different kinds of music and requests
without stopping for a breath, and they kept the dance floor full all night! Unforgettable!
Thanks guys! xxx
Griendly, approachable group with great communication. Excellent artists who perform flawlessly. Chris reinvented one of our fav
songs and we prefer that version!
Wished they could've stayed the whole night! The one piece of advice I'd give is book for
the whole night as this band MAKE the party. Neither of us left the dance floor the entire
set!
The Cartel were the icing on the cake at our wedding and our guests still rave about them!
April '22, end of Covid and ready to rock the house, we took to the floor with a special
request for our first dance which Chris and the boys arranged, learned and played for us
without hesitation. The whole playlist kept our guests on the dance floor all night long
with a fantastic mix of tunes including a brilliant guitar solo during Purple Rain! Prior to
our wedding the band kept in touch regarding dates, times, playlist and other suggestions
to ensure the party went smoothly and was one to remember. The Cartel are the perfect
choice and you and your guests will have a fantastic, memorable time.
Everyone still talks about how amazing you guys were at our wedding in 2018
(Paddy's Day) The Pipers Tryst.
I couldn't have been more delighted with the performance and how lovely you all are!!
Tunes were exactly what we asked for and the only complaint was the party couldn't last
all night.
Thanks for making it an absolutely phenomenal day for us. I would
highly recommend you to everyone looking.
Also special thanks to the guys for helping my family "sing" a version of Perfect Day -
which never went to plan at all as they were all pissed, some of them are no longer with
us and the memories from the video are just so precious.
