Before you book

What matters for a band at Castlemartyr Resort

A wedding band quote for Castlemartyr Resort should be based on the actual reception room, guest count, finish time, and whether you need ceremony or drinks-reception music before the evening set. For a 17th-century manor, five-star resort with a Cork-luxury, balanced formal and warm feel, the wrong band can look underpowered even if the song list is good.

  • Room and guest count: tell us which room you are using and roughly how many guests are attending, so the PA and stage footprint are right.
  • Timeline: confirm speeches, first dance time, band start time, and whether the venue needs the band loaded in before guests enter the room.
  • Music brief: share three songs you love and three you do not want. That helps us point you toward the closest MusicAngel band.
  • Extras: ceremony music, drinks-reception sets, sax, or a later DJ finish should be quoted upfront rather than added late.
