The No1 Wedding Band For Northern Ireland

Playing weddings all over Ireland is our speciality!

The Usual Suspects are perfect for weddings! The band is professional and versatile. And, come wedding season, we will be as busy as bedamned!

But, we´d love to join you in your celebrations, and make sure you and your guests love every minute of the evening!

We understand how important it is that your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life. So we take the time to ensure that every aspect of our performance is as professional and as enjoyable as possible.

The Usual Suspects - Live Wedding Music So Good Its Criminal!

As your reading this page, we´ll assume that you already know the benefits of booking a wedding band, but just in case you´re still undecided, remember that a live band can bring much more personality, fun and continuity to your reception. The Usual Suspects are fronted by an engaging and talented front-man who works hard to keep the atmosphere going between songs.

Ok, so a DJ could do this too - but after playing weddings all over Ireland for over 20 years, we´ve found that many prefer to hide behind their decks and say very little!

So remember, The Usual Suspects will play live music, mixed with banter and chat that will have everyone on the dance floor within minutes!

Top 5 Questions For Booking A Wedding Band

Q: Are The Usual Suspects available to play at my wedding?

The band are extremely busy, especially during peak wedding season! Please complete our booking enquiry form and we will get back to you within a day to confirm availability and pricing!

Q: How much will The Usual Suspects charge to play my wedding?

Pricing is based on a number of factors including the day of the wedding and location of the reception.

As we are a three peice band with few of the large overheads of bigger bands (agents, roadies and prima donnas!), we can guarantee to give you a very reasonable price for a fantastic night´s entertainment.

Please complete our booking enquiry form and we will get back to you within a day to confirm availability and great pricing!

Q: How long will The Usual Suspects play for?

The band will play for a maximum of two hours. The timing of the two hours of actual playing time can be flexible to suit your needs on the day.

It is our firm belief that booking a band to play for more than 2 hours leads to a situation of diminishing returns! That is, the quality of the material will be effected as the band draw on older or less popular material to fill the extended period, and the singers will physically tire after a couple of hours.

We suggest you book a band that give you a superb play list played with enthusiasm and talent from beginning to end! Book The Usual Suspects!

Q: What Music Will The Usual Suspects play?

The Usual Suspects play a wide and varied range of music - suitable for all age groups and tastes at your wedding. In essence, their current list of songs for weddings includes everything from Sinatra to Snow Patrol!

Q: Can The Usual Suspects provide a disco too?

While The Usual Suspects have a wide range of music in their play list, we understand that you may want your entertainment to last many hours and perhaps cater for a wider range of musical taste.

Almost all of the weddings we have played at have also booked a disco to follow us. And so, we´ve seen some great DJs and some god awful ones too!

The Usual Suspects can arrange to include a professional DJ on the night. This will provide you with a one-stop entertainment package, a single point of contact and perfect coordination between the band and DJ during setup and changeover on the night. If you require a disco with the band, then please include this in your Booking Request.

Q: Where Can We See The Usual Suspects play?

As the majority of our bookings are for private individuals or businesses, it can prove difficult to get to see us.

Thats why we´ve provided some sample tracks right here on our site. You can play the tracks and make up your mind about how professional we sound. We´re sure you´ll enjoy what you hear.

If you have any difficulties downloading or playing the tracks, then just contact us and we´ll be delighted to email you a copy and tell you if we are playing a wedding in your area!
