Steven played at our wedding last week and he was amazing. He DJ'ed our reception, played guitar during cocktail hour, and his Irish trio performed during our ceremony. Everything ...
was perfect. He was so accommodating and flexible and knowledgeable. I loved being able to provide my own playlist for dancing, and loved that he could fill in and suggest songs for when I didn't know what would work best. He was also a great emcee, announcing our entrance and first dance and all the rest. During the lead up to the wedding, he was always easy to get in touch with and quick to respond. He even DJ'ed an extra hour for us when I decided the morning of the wedding that I wanted the reception to go a little later. Whether you need ceremony musicians or a DJ, Steven is your guy. I can't recommend him enough!
Capital Celtic was wonderful to work with. We had them play acoustic at our private ceremony, and then fun, instrumental music for our cocktail hour. They even learned a special ...
song for our ceremony! They were so easy to communicate with, very professional, and our guests loved the ambience their Irish music created during our cocktail hour. Would highly recommend for couples looking to add some Irish music to their special day!
I can't say enough great things about Capital Celtic! They played our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception through dinner and were an absolute hit. From the first time we spoke w...
ith them we knew they would be such an amazing addition to our wedding and they did not disappoint. Every song they played was perfect for the setting and we had SO many compliments from our guests on how great they were and how much they enjoyed hearing them play. Capital Celtic gave us exactly the feeling we were hoping to add to our wedding- from romantic and charming at the ceremony to fun and exciting at the cocktail hour to a killer fiddle solo during dinner (that guests were getting up from their seats to video), we loved every moment of their performance. Thank you SO much, Capital Celtic!!!
Steve was completely professional and worked with me to structure his services perfectly for our wedding. The band learned a new song for us. They set up in three separate places a...
s the wedding moved from sanctuary, to outdoors, to reception hall. He even let my friend, a guest of the wedding party, jam on his fiddle with them. Then he converted from live band over to DJ for the last couple hours. Everything was smooth and I never had to worry -- which was awesome.
Capital Celtic, and in particular their leader Steven O'Toole, were an absolute joy to work with. They accommodated our requests in every way, from arranging for a caller to lead ...
our guests in traditional Ceilidh dances, to working with us on the budget, to being flexible with our changing schedule on the big day. Not only that, but their music was beautiful and left all of our guests smiling and with a lifelong memory. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.
These guys really cut the mustard and set the party off to to a lively start. We booked them for our daughter's wedding reception and they immediately got everyone involved with th...
e dancing. The calling was loud and clear and guided us all though each dance , even the novices.
A very nice group of talented musicians who arrived in good time, set up with no bother and performed brilliantly!
Thank you so much - I wish we had had longer to enjoy you!
We got married on St. Patrick's Day weekend, and there was no one better for our wedding music than Capital Celtic! They played the music during our church wedding ceremony, playe...
d live music during our cocktail hour, and then Steven was our DJ for the rest of the night. At every step along our day, they were perfect.
Steven is very attentive and really wants to make your wedding day music exactly what you want. He worked with us to pick the most appropriate music for our ceremony in church, that still really captured our St. Patrick's Day vision. Even the priest remarked on how beautiful the music was during his homily!
We know our guests loved the classic Irish songs they played during the cocktail hour and had so much fun. We had to extend the live music a bit longer than we originally thought to fit photographs in, and they were so accommodating!
Throughout the night, Steven worked with us to make sure the right songs were getting played at the right moments, and that our timeline was being followed along with the music. But he still made it easy and fun and all a part of the celebration. He brought lighting as well that looked great in our reception space.
I really cannot recommend Capital Celtic enough. Our wedding had a very strong Irish theme, but they are such talented and professional musicians, that I feel they would be great whatever your event is! They definitely go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect for you, but most importantly, they make it fun!
The Capital Celtics were in a word, phenomenal! My husband is from Ireland, and his mother was the only guest from his side who could make the trip. Having the Capital Celtics prov...
ide their beautiful, AUTHENTIC, Irish tunes was the greatest gift! They were extremely professional, and kind whilst arranging the songs to be played for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The BEST part...they offered to learn a Fleetwood Mac song for us to dance to as our first dance! We had a wedding better than we could have ever dreamed of thanks to the Capital Celtics. You will not be disappointed by having them provide the music for your big day. They will work hard to make sure you get everything you want out of musical entertainment. Steven, the band leader, is wonderfully kind, as are his partners! They were very expedient and accommodating to our budget, and we were so happy to have them join us for the reception after their performance! I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Capital Celtic was amazing during the first hour of our daughter's reception. They entertained guests outside on a beautiful autumn evening as the sun descended and folks sipped co...
cktails and ate appetizers. They were as beautiful to hear as the view was to behold. After keeping it light for the first part, we requested and were delighted to hear a few favorite pub songs, appropriately personalized for the occasion. CC added a truly original, lovely flair to our event. The only negative is, I can't see having a wedding without them now and we have several more to go!
Capital Celtic performed at the cocktail hour of our reception, and they were one of the aspects of our wedding that we got the most compliments on! My husband and I both have stro...
ng, Irish heritages, so it was such a unique way to make our wedding that much more personal! Capital Celtic was authentic, upbeat and so talented! I'd completely recommend them for a truly elevated wedding experience. They're so much fun!
We booked Capital Celtic for our son's wedding rehearsal party and were extremely pleased with their performance. The group added a touch of class and Irish laughter to the festiv...
ities. We received many compliments from our guests about the music. I highly recommend Capital Celtic to anyone seeking a first-class musical experience.
