Happy New YEar from Wedding singer Éire

Welcoming in 2026 with a smile and with a new year comes a new energy. I can’t wait to perform for all my brides and grooms throughout 2026. As a wedding singer, this year will bring me to over 60 wedding venues and countless churches and cathedrals. I will be continuing to specialise in wedding ceremonies, afternoon drinks receptions and day 2 parties. Doing what I do best – performing for great people on one the happiest days of their lives!

Will you be part of the 2026 story? I look forward to working with you both to create something special and memorable.

Looking back on 2025

I always take time off in January to rest the voice and the body. To catch up on some much needed sleep and to take stock off how the previous year went. I also get a chance to fine tune the website for the months ahead and update my songlists.

Wow! What a year 2025 was. I must have performed in every corner of Ireland at this stage. There was a lovely mix in 2025. From country churches, city cathedrals, country houses, city halls to 5 star hotels, cliff edges and even a lighthouse. It’s anyone’s guess as to how many kilometres I clocked up on the van for work alone. One thing is for sure though: I love every minute of it.

Every year is an adventure for me and I can’t wait for the 2026 weddings to kick in. (3 already done at the time of publishing this blog).

I would like to thank all my 2025 Brides & Grooms. Thank you for putting your faith in me to deliver the live soundtrack to their special day. The last 12 months have been absolutely amazing and I never tire of it, nor do I take it for granted.

My New Years Countdown
as a Wedding Singer

As much as I love time off and celebrating Christmas, I do enjoy getting back to work as soon as I can. Besides, less opportunities to sit around eating and drinking, the better in my opinion. So the last number of years I have finished the year with 5 in a row starting on December 27th. Not an easy task when the weddings are across 7 locations and involve 1,400km of travel. I know counties Limerick, Galway, Mayo, Wicklow and Offaly like the back of my hand now. But I’m not complaining, I love the adventure. Check out how it went in this short video.

Keeping it Reel On Trend memorable For you

One thing that I will be continuing to do throughout 2026 is to capture and share what it is I do, and my approach to my work. If you’ve already found me on social media you’ll know that I have, well, quite a presence there. I love sharing my adventures and my music with my followers and my past and future wedding couples. I reckon it gives prospective couples an idea of my personality, my music ability and my love for singing. My social media channels are there so you can “window shop” and hopefully discover my passion for my career. It also gives my past wedding couples a chance to look back and relive some of the music, the special moments and details from their wedding day.

When it comes to YouTube Shorts, Insta Reels and TikTok Trends, I don’t think I have a particular style. I just enjoy mixing it up and seeing what works. Content creation is something I enjoy doing almost as a hobby and I get great satisfaction when I see the reaction it gets from my couples.

Lastly, please note: social media content is not something I charge a fee for, it doesn’t automatically come as part of any of my packages and it is at my own discretion.
