Wedding band for Tankardstown House

Georgian country estate · Slane, Co. Meath

Tankardstown is the boutique-luxury alternative to Ireland's big-castle wedding circuit, a Georgian country house in Slane, with the Ballroom as the evening centrepiece. The room rewards close-up musicianship: guests are nearer the band than they would be at Adare or Ashford, and every detail of the live performance reads.

About the room

Playing at Tankardstown House

The Ballroom is the typical reception space, intimate, well-equipped, with mature trees outside the windows. Acoustic ceremony sets work beautifully on the grounds in summer; the Cellar Bar handles late-night drinks once the band's final set is done.

Capacity guide: up to ~180 in the Ballroom.

Before you book

What matters for a band at Tankardstown House

A wedding band quote for Tankardstown House 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 Georgian country estate with a boutique, intimate luxury 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.
