Welcome to our Wedding Page. We hope we can help to make your special day as wonderful as it should be.

We have been very fortunate to have been invited to sing all over Ireland and internationally, at major musical events and private functions. Most of all we love singing at weddings for it gives us an opportunity to perform music that is specially requested for its spirituality and romance.

Music plays such an important part of your wedding day and the choice of music and accompaniment can be so crucial to the atmosphere both in the church and at the reception. To this end we have very carefully prepared a music package that can be tailored to your needs. We have had our accompanying music professionally arranged and recorded by some of Ireland’s finest arrangers and musicians. We have our own professional sound equipment and accompanist which ensures a musical experience second to none for you and your guests.

We would be delighted to guide you through your musical needs for your wedding day. We are ever increasingly being asked to provide both our Spiritual music for the church ceremony as well as our romantic dinner theatre music for the reception prior to the band’s performance. We can provide a dinner theatre show featuring romantic music from hit shows and musicals, eg; Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, West Side Story and many others, as well as songs made popular by such artists as Sarah Brightman, Andrea Boccelli, Celine Dion, Michael Ball etc. and Irish classical favourites as a special treat for your International guests.

Please read a sample of the many testimonials we have received by our satisfied clients. They have assured us that our music was received and enjoyed by their guests of all ages.

If you have any questions, we would love to hear from you. We can be contacted at karen@essence.ie and paul@essence.ie.

Further Testimonials

Paul and Karen's performance in Holycross Abbey for our wedding day took my breath away! I wanted the music in the church to be really special but they really exceeded my expectations - they were absolutely magnificent! I even heard afterwards that passers by were drawn onto the back just to hear them. The Harmonies were beautiful and both voices are really powerful. I was so proud as countless people told me it was the most beautiful wedding music they had ever heard. Walking up the aisle to the magical "Nella Fantasia" and back down the aisle with my new Husband to the spectacular "Amigos Para Siempre" is my most treasured memory of our wedding day.

I had the pleasure of hearing Paul and Karen sing at the opening of Fado Restaurant over a year ago and was immediately enchanted by their magnificent voices .At the end of the evening I spoke to them and explained that my daughter Janna was getting married on June 2nd 06 and would they sing at the ceremony. To my great delight they accepted. During the following few months we had many discussions about what they would sing, the type of performance etc,they were always so ready to chat.
All I can say that Jannas and Johns wedding ceremony was made so special because of them, each and every guest commented on their singing, and the sight and sound of the two of them walking back down the aisle to "Amigos Para Siempre" will stay withus forever. Thank you Karen and Paul. from Carmel Conway
