Our Client Reviews

Here at The Secret Chord, we really enjoy being able to share your special day. We love ensuring that you and your loved ones really enjoy the day relaxing to the beautiful music and songs.

I had heard Caroline singing in Lahinch Church at Christmas Eve mass previously and was adamant that we would have her group for our Church wedding music and vocals. Caroline and her group of musicians were absolutely brilliant from the moment we booked our date with them. We decided on our music choices and just emailed our list to Caroline in the run up to our wedding.

They were really stress free to deal with and this makes such a difference in the lead up as theres so much more going on. They were at the church well ahead of the service and even the practice was beautiful to listen to as I waited patiently for my bride.

Caroline is a great vocalist and the musicians were a pleasure to listen to. I would highly recommend them for your special day.

Thanks again, Kieran & Bernie

We had The Secret Chord play at our wedding ceremony and during our drinks reception after in August this year. We can not recommend them enough for anybody who is looking to have music at their wedding.

Caroline was a pleasure to deal with from when we first began planning right up to the day of the wedding, even learning songs for us that we had requested. The amount of comments we had received from our wedding guests to say how good they were was unbelievable and both as a couple were so happy we picked them, They were absolutely brilliant.

Highly recommend The Secret Chord!

Can’t rate these guys highly enough. Amazing musicians and vocalists, and just lovely lovely people!

We mainly dealt with Caroline, and found her to be so accommodating and responsive. Going above and beyond learning newly released songs that we wanted included in our Ceremony. Even adapting one particular song to make it more relevant to us.

We were blown away by their sound on the day. Truly cant recommend them highly enough… wish we could do it all again with them!

Caroline was a pleasure to deal with from day one, we honestly couldn’t recommend these guys enough.

They really made the ceremony special and a number of our guests commented on how amazing they sounded. Thanks Caroline and the rest of the group.

I got Caroline and Quentin to play at my wedding. They were absolutely brilliant. Loved their song choices and they were very flexible in accommodating my friend to join them for a song at communion upon my request.

I would highly recommend them both for their talent and professionalism. Thanks again guys.
