We found Barry while looking for church singers online, and were so lucky he was available for our big day. Barry made the whole process of choosing music and set up so easy, giving his expert input where we needed it. Not only that but he was so pleasant, courteous and easy to deal with - we were blown away. We got so many compliments from our guests on his beautiful music and it added the perfect touch to our wedding ceremony. If you are looking for that special touch on your day, he's your man! Thanks again.
Grace and Aodhán (Adare, Co. Limerick. Jan 2019)
Music is an essential part of any ceremony/celebration. Music has the potential to touch your heart, and bring out true emotions. Bearing this in mind, Barry is an absolute must to make your day that extra bit special. His voice is so soulfull and for us he made our day.We went to the Dingle whiskey bar to hear Barry play and where so blown away by his individually that we asked him to play at our evening do as well ! With this performance he kept all our guests entertained and on the dance floor all night, he was the talk of our wedding.......Barry is a must, thank you so much bud for being part of our day.
Gemma & Adam Hyland (Darver Castle, Co. Louth. Dec 2018)
Barry Jay Hughes played at both our church wedding ceremony and drinks reception at Tinakilly Country House this July. He has the most beautiful voice and is so talented. His upbeat and stunning music set the tone for our wedding, and set us up for a fantastic day and night. I would 100% recommend him for any event.
Jess & Shane (Tinakilly Country House, Co. Wicklow. July 2018)
Q: How long does setup take?A: He will be there one hour before your event to set up. Q: What are your space and power requirements?A: For a Church Wedding I can perform from the Church Gallery or at the side of the altar. We can discuss these finer details once a booking is confirmed. For a civil/spiritual/humanist ceremony a small space is all that is needed.
For Drinks Reception setup - 1/2 sockets and 4ft x 6ft Floor Space to perform.
Most hotels and venues have adequate power source and space for live acts to play.
Performing outdoors is no problem as long as power is provided. Q: Do you take requests?A: Of course! Before your event or wedding date, you'll be sent a music request form which will let you request songs as well as make sure I won't play anything you don't want to hear.
