How hiring a band works
- Post your event. Date, venue, budget, and the style of music you're after.
- Compare quotes. Bands who are available apply directly with their rate, profile, and past reviews.
- Book securely. Confirm the band you want. Payment is held safely and only released once the gig is complete.
Frequently asked questions
How do I hire a wedding band in Ireland?
Post your wedding date, venue, and budget on Marrow. Wedding bands who are free that day and match your style apply with a quote, so you can compare profiles, reviews, and pricing side by side before booking.
What's the difference between a function band and a wedding band?
A function band typically plays a broad mix of covers for parties, corporate events, and general functions, while a wedding band is set up specifically for the flow of a wedding day, ceremony or reception sets, first dance, and material suited to a mixed-age crowd. Both are bookable through Marrow.
Can I book live music for a corporate event?
Yes. Venues and companies use Marrow to book bands for corporate functions, product launches, and private parties, not just weddings.
How far in advance should I book a band?
Popular wedding dates and weekends get booked up months ahead, so it's worth posting your event as early as possible, but bands do apply for shorter-notice bookings too.
