We had Doug do the music for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and we cannot recommend him highly enough. He completely captured what we had envisioned for our wedding and all of our guests commented on how wonderful the music was. 10/10!!

Breda & Jamie (Sep 2022)

Doug sang at our wedding ceremony and reception 13-08-2022. He was brilliant. The amount of people asking me who he was and how I got to hear about him was crazy. Thanks for everything doug. Only mad you couldn't have played all day. Best of luck for the future.

Barry & Patricia (Aug 2022)

What a voice!! Doug sang at our wedding on 30th July 2022 in Poulaphouca House & Falls in Wicklow and how glad we are that he did. I walked in to a gorgeous rendition of “Here comes the Sun” by the Beatles and hearing it and how it was being sung made my heart so happy. We had a special request of a Raglan Road instrumental at the remembrance part of the ceremony and, Doug learned it and played it perfectly. Doug catered to not only my taste in music but my husbands too and with his vocal range and soulful tone, he really nailed the set list for the wedding and reception. Doug was brilliant to deal with before and during the ceremony. Really professional, accommodating, gives helpful guidance and suggestions, works fantastically with the celebrant, photographers & videographers and my guests really enjoyed listening to him. He’s a really sound guy! I’d book him again in a heartbeat.

Hey Doug

 

Just wanted to write a review for your website 

 

Thanks so much Doug for an outstanding performance at our wedding last Friday. We were so lucky to have you. Everyone commented on how good you were, you really added a special touch to the day. We were so delighted we booked you on a recommendation. It was perfect. Best of luck for the future

 

Sharon and Mark (Oct 2021)

Hi Doug,
 

We cannot thank you enough for singing for our ceremony and reception, you were absolutely amazing and every single guest wanted to know who you were as they thought you were out of this world. So many compliments on the array of music you played and a lot of praise for the Nirvana songs - bloody brilliant!
 

Before I walked into the room I was hanging tough around the corner waiting for Leighanne to go first and I could hear you starting to sing 'Can't Help Falling in Love' and it literally moved me to tears! I had to stop and gather myself before going into the room. Absolutely amazing, a moment I'll never forget.

 

Thanks for everything,

Emma & Leighanne (Sep 2021)

Hi Doug,

 

Just as the dust settles. We would both like to thank you for the music in the church and reception. We had so many comments from everyone there how good you were. We both loved it aswell.

 

Thanks again

Alan & Orna (Sep 2021)

Doug is an amazing performer and wonderful to work with. We managed to book Doug for our wedding October 2020 and he was so lovely to work with, open to our requests. The ceremony turned out to be an incredibly intimate affair and we cannot express how much Doug brought to the ceremony and day. He is such a talent and we couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Lynda Reynolds & Jon Quirk (Oct 2020)

Hi Doug, 

 

We’ve been meaning to write to you for weeks to thank you for your tremendous singing and music at our reception in the Portmarnock Hotel on Saturday 7th March, 2020. We want you to know that we really enjoyed your music.  You made the night, and all our guests were singing your praise.  They could hardly believe all you belted out with your one man show.  Such effort, it was brilliant.  We’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone we know looking for music for an event, whenever that might be.

Jane & Tony (March 2020)

Just dropping you an email to thank you so much for being part of our wedding day (21st Feb - KIltimagh)! You were absolutely amazing and everyone commented on your performance in the church, as well as the drinks reception.  We just received our wedding video yesterday so we got to hear your voice again.   In the planning stages I had a tough time convincing Ciaran that a male voice was what I wanted in the church, but boy did my nagging pay off! We were so delighted and lucky to have you play at our wedding.  I will certainly be recommending you to our family and friends and hopefully get to hear you play again!

 

Huge thanks again,

Leanne  & Ciaran (Feb 2020)

We booked Doug straight away after hearing him perform at our friends wedding. Doug's version of 'The Vow' was so beautiful as I walked down the aisle with my dad. At one point during the ceremony he got all of our guests singing along with him to 'Is this Love'. It was just so incredible to witness and definitely brought a lump to both of our throats to hear all our loved ones joining in. Doug is so incredibly talented Doug and we are so blessed that he performed at our big day. All of our family and friends commented on how talented he was and how they thoroughly enjoyed listening to him perform at the ceremony and the drinks reception afterwards. He has a wealth of knowledge and really helped us create the perfect set list for our ceremony, which really did set the tone for the day. He was a pleasure to deal with and we would 110% recommend him to anyone who is getting married or looking for a musician.

Amy O'Driscoll & John Caren (Nov 2019)

We were lucky enough to have Doug sing at both our wedding ceremony and our drinks reception. To say that he added to our experience of the day is a huge understatement. Doug's voice (you can hear for yourself by watching his videos online) but also his reading of the room and understanding of what our guests wanted to hear was excellent. We had friends and relatives make a point of speaking to us before and after the meal to compliment the music at both points of the day. That was just the day itself, Doug was also really quick to respond to any queries and also accommodated us in learning a song specifically for our exit. I truly can't recommend him enough. If you're thinking about booking him, do it!!

Cheryl & Philip (Nov 2019)

 

Doug was recommended to us by our celebrant and we could not have made a better decision! As we had a humanist ceremony, all our music was non-traditional and handpicked by us. Not only did Doug play everything so beautifully throughout our ceremony he even learned a song on our request as it was special to us. In addition to this he had our wedding guests become a part of the music (belting out "It's Friday, I'm in love") which looking back on our video was the best part! We cannot recommend Doug anymore than 5 stars but if we could we would.
Thank you for being a part of our special day Doug 

Rhian & Adam (Aug 2019)

Doug sang at our wedding on 3rd August 2019, there is nothing Doug cant sing. I really wanted a song for my entrance song and Doug had to learn the song for me and it was just perfect. Everyone commented on his singing and asked who he was. Communication with Doug was easy and nothing was an issue. I highly recommend him. Thank you Doug :)

Laura O Donohue & Brian Kelly (July 2019)

Doug sang at our Wedding ceremony and reception on 22nd June 2019. We could not recommend Doug highly enough. He is so talented and we were very lucky that he was available. We have received so many enquiries about Doug since the wedding. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment. Doug is such a nice guy to deal with and no request is a problem. Music was a top priority for our wedding and doug did not disappoint. Highly recommend booking Doug if you want the goosebumps effect

Shane McNiffe & Aine Casey (June 2019)

Hi Doug

We just want to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding ceremony and reception you were amazing and made our day so memorable. Everyone commented on how talented you were and how much they enjoyed listening to you. We are really looking forward to getting our DVD of the day to listen to you again. Thank you again 

Julie Keenan & Mike Graham (Dec 2018)

 

Hi Doug,

Thank you sooo much for Friday. You were amazing. Everyone commented on it. And dancing before dinner was my aim :)

 Merry Christmas x 

Lesley Spearing & Ray Conroy (Dec 2018)

Hi Doug 

I apologise I never even got to introduce myself or to thank you personally for the beautiful job you done with the ceremony music for us last Friday.

Many of our guests were very impressed with you and pleasantly surprised when u continued to play at the drinks reception.

I do hope that you got sorted with a meal before you left.

We will leave a review on your page over the coming days.

Thanks again for making our ceremony so special.

Many thanks 
 

Yvonne & Michael Dooley (Dec 2018)

Hi Doug,

We booked Doug for our wedding in Castleknock on the 18th July 2018 and we are delighted with how the whole event went.  Doug's opening hymn 'How Great Thou Art' literally brought the house down and was a wonderful taster as to what was to come.  'You're My Best Friend', 'Nella Fantasia', 'Blackbird' all suited the occasion perfectly and how Doug delivered them in his unique voice was so memorable.  The ceremony concluded with 'Three little Birds', which got the whole church rocking!  We walked out to Doug's versions of 'Here Comes the Sun' and 'Give a little Bit' which were so uplifting.  Doug's professionalism was outstanding and so many people have contacted us since the wedding asking who our wedding singer was, such was the impact he made.  Well done Doug and thanks again for making our wedding day unforgettable!

Shane Donaghy & Elizabeth McHugh (July 2018)

Hi Doug,

 

Just want extend a massive thank you to you for playing at our wedding ceremony and reception.

 

There simply are no words great enough that can explain how incredibly talented you are and how appreciative we are too. You were outstanding!!!!

 

Not only were we blown away by your performance but our guests ranted about you on the day and since the wedding too. So many remarked how refreshingly different it was to hear a male vocalist and an incredibly talented guitarist singing beautiful familiar songs yet such a different style to so many other weddings they've been to. They loved you!!!

 

You brought a very personal element to our wedding ceremony with your fantastic alternative song arrangements and your relaxed stance and naturalness. All of which just added such a nice calm, fun and chilled atmosphere. It was so soothing just to sit back and listen as you played so many of our personal favourites, 'close to you', 'how sweet it is',  'somewhere over the rainbow', to name but a few. Our parish priest was blown away by your voice too. We cannot thank you enough for that.

 

Hope you are enjoying this glorious sunshine. We are just back from honeymoon. Nice bonus coming back to great weather like this.

 

Kind regards,

Brendan Comiskey & Nollaig Tynan  (June 2018)

Dear Doug, 

 

We want to thank you for making our wedding day our best day ever. The singing at our ceremony and the reception matched us perfectly and truly set the tone for a fantastic day. I also wanted to thank you for your help in the lead up the wedding. Your guidance with the song choices and your flexibility made planning this part of the wedding the easiest part.  

 

Thanks again, S&F, May 2018

 

**Please share this on your webpage as a review.. you deserve all the fantastic praise coming you way! 

Sinead McIntyre and Fernando Marroquin (Ballybeg, May 2018)

Hi Doug, 

I just wanted to say thank you so much from myself Ronnie and all of our guests! Everyone was asking me about you. Amazing. 

You were incredibly easy to work with and fantastic on the day. 

Best wishes with all the recording. 

Many thanks 

Liz Nicholson and Ronnie Walsh (Millhouse May 2018)

Hi Doug,

 

Josh and I just wanted to say a massive Thank You for playing at our wedding ceremony and reception last weekend. Your voice and style are just incredible. We could literally listen to you all day. The ceremony was so beautiful and emotional and the drinks reception music had such a fun, chilled vibe. It was exactly what we were looking for. We had so many guests asking about you and where we found you and I think some of our engaged friends want to steal you for their weddings too. 

 

Thanks again and all the best 

 

 Sinéad Ryan and Paul Ross Rigney (May 2018)

Hi Doug,

Perfect :-)

Just dropping a note to say thanks again for the music at the wedding.

So many people mentioned to us that they thought it was brilliant - we hope to see you again at future weddings of our friends

 

One thing to ask - any chance you have an mp3 of nella fantasia that you could share with us!?

Thanks again 

 

Ciara crinion and Tim Connolly (April 2018)

Hi Doug, 

 

We had so many compliments for you on the day and a few have already asked for your details so hopefully you will get more dates from it, our guests were even saying they wanted to clap after every song you sang, and really enjoyed the music, thanks again for the advice about the entrance song, delighted I changed to vocals instead of just music. 

 

Take care, 

 

Lorna Coyne & Dave Hughes (March 2018)

Hi Doug, 

 

Thanks so much ! Your music was beyond great just fantastic we can’t wait to see the video as the day just flew by so fast  

Our guests were raving about the set you played and the ceremony music too ! I have to say it was probably one of the highlights of our day 
You really are great at what you do. It was a pleasure to have you at our wedding. 

Thanks so much 

Dara Farrell & Niall Smith (March 2018)

Hi Doug,

 

Just wanted to get in touch to say a big thank you for your beautiful singing last Saturday. Everyone was asking who you were and where I found you they thought you were amazing. I can't wait to see the video!

 

Thanks again for everything you were great.

 

Karen Gray & Eric McKnight (Feb 2018)

Hi Doug,

Just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for playing at our wedding last Saturday. Each and every one of our guests commented on your voice. You played and sang beautifully. You made the ceremony for Pierce and I. From the bottom of our hearts - thank you, thank you. 

Kind regards,
Claire Foster & Pierce Holdcroft (Jan 2018)

Hi Doug

 

On behalf of Paula and myself we would just like to say that your contribution to our day was nothing short of perfect.So many people asked me if you were a musical friend of mine from work that I have started saying yes.

I have had several people ask me for CD recordings of your wedding playlist, one of whom was the bride on the day.

 

The delivery of the songs during the service was just amazing, very emotional and we could not be happier with you and how it all came together. We are so sorry that we didn't get to see you before you finished on the day because you deserve these things said to you in person. 

Doug, thank you so much. You were fantastic. Paula and I are just so happy that we don't even mind people talking about you rather than us when we see them now!

 

We want to wish you all the best for the future and we appreciate the effort you made to be with us on our snowy wedding day.

Graham and Paula Henderson (December 2017)

We chose Doug Sheridan to be our wedding singer based on his musical talents and the huge range of songs on his website. He brought those and so much more to the table. His professionalism, creativity and investment in our day made the ceremony music one of the most enjoyable and magical parts of the whole wedding.

From the moment we first met to discuss song choices and arrangements he was charming and accommodating but offered tasteful insight wherever it was required.

 

Everyone at the wedding raved about the quality of the performance and Doug’s delivery. As the bride and groom, it was one of the aspects we just sat back and enjoyed and never had to worry about. Every note and syllable was beautifully executed and you could hear a pin drop during each song.

 

If you want a captivating, memorable wedding singer then look no further. Thanks again Doug.


 

Tess and Paddy Lyons, Murphy’s Barn, (Oct 2017)

Hi Doug,

Thank you so much for singing and playing at our ceremony! Your voice is just magic!!!

We got A LOT of compliments & questions about you afterwards, our guests were very impressed with you!

I have shared your Facebook page, let me know if there is any other way I can boost or share your business page as we would happily & highly recommend you to anyone!

Thank you again,

Olivia & Lynn Malone (October 2017)

Olivia & Lynn Malone xJust wanted to say a huge thank you for everything ...the music was fabulous and it was a pleasure dealing with you.  On the day and since then I've had several people complement me on your voice and music.  Thanks so much for making our big day so special.  Feel free to use any of the above on your website. I'd be delighted to recommend you to anyone...Kind regards Louise and Gerry 

Louise Moran & Gerard Clarke (October 2017)

Doug played at our wedding on the 15th of July 2017 and he was one of the highlights of the day for us. The music was romantic when needed but also upbeat and really set the mood for us. We couldn't recommend Doug highly enough for both the wedding ceremony and drinks reception. We were both so happy with the song choices he offered and the vibe he created. Thank you so much Doug, we will always think of you playing on our special day with great fondness and appreciation. I got a recommendation from a friend who is very musical and and I have to say she knows her stuff as Doug's performance was magic!

Valerie Landy & Bill Keogh  (July 2017)

Hi Doug,

 

I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you so much for the music at our wedding on the 9th June. I was recently sent a video of myself and my Dad walking down the aisle so I got to hear Dearest again (I'm not sure I heard it properly on the day with the nerves and excitement!) and it was so beautiful. Al was very happy with the surprise too. It was so special to have songs that mean so much to us sung so wonderfully as we got married, We'll have those memories forever. All of our guests commented on how great you were and many asked if you were a friend of ours because of how happy you looked for us, which I thought was lovely. 

 

Thank you again, your music really made our day so special.

 

Aoife Keenan & Alan McGrane  (June 2017)

 

Hi Doug,

We both just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding last weekend. Everyone commented on your singing voice.

I even had one die hard Metallica fan say he loved your version of Heaven which nearly floored me.

Thanks for helping create such a magical day for us

Best wishes

Niamh Donnelly & Michael Kiernan (Nov 2016)

 

Hi Doug,

 

We wanted to thank you for the unbelievable job that you did at our wedding ceremony on the 5th November. Our guests were blown away and that is no exaggeration! When we were greeting our guests outside the church, the number 1 topic of conversation was your singing! We are just so grateful that we had a videographer on the day and we will get to hear it again.

 

We can't thank you enough.

Caitríona Whelan & Daniel Dunne (Nov 2016)

 

 

Hi Doug,

 

I hope your well, just wanted to send you a small note to thank you for the music at our wedding ceremony. We really loved the music, it added something very special to our wedding. It’s been weeks since the wedding but I still have friends who are talking about wedding singer! Honestly, people loved it. 

 

Thanks again and all the best,

 Jen & Rob Mahony (Oct 2016)

 

Hi Doug,

 

We just got back from honeymoon and wanted to say thank you so much for everything the day of our wedding - we received so many compliments on your music - your voice is really outstanding and suited the wedding day perfectly. What about that sun, eh? Not too common on an October day in Ireland!

 

Please feel free to use this as a review and to anyone considering booking Doug for your wedding - get on it, you won't be disappointed!

 

With best wishes,

 Patricia Fallon & Niall Keane (Oct 2016)

 

Hi Doug,

Just a note to say a massive thank you for the perfect music at our wedding mass and reception afterwards in Dunboyne.  Everyone raved about your singing (some people watching in Australia thought it was a CD!). We're just sorry the day went so quick and we didn't get to listen to you more at the reception.

If you'd like me to post a review anywhere please let me know, I'd be delighted to do so!

 

Thanks

Danielle Deegan & John McCann

 

Hi Doug, 

 

Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job on Saturday. I'm so sorry that I didn't get to thank you in person, it was a whirlwind of a day! The music was incredible and everyone was raving about you. Here Comes the Sun was the highlight of the day for me - the tempo was spot on and it sounded even more amazing than I had anticipated. Such a gorgeous version to walk up the aisle to with the sun shining outside. 

 

Thanks so, so much! 

Sarah Whelan & Paul Foley

 

Hi Doug,

 

We have just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to say a massive thank you to you for your absolutely wonderful performance at our wedding ceremony.  I just wish we had recorded the ceremony now so we could hear it again so if you ever put it on your web page, let us know.  We'll be keeping an ear out for it anyway! :-)

 

I'm sorry we just got to thank you briefly afterwards but it was all a bit of a whirlwind as it probably is for everyone.  It was important to us to write and let you know how much we enjoyed and appreciated your performance.  We will highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a truly professional talent who is a pleasure to deal with.

 

Many thanks again.

Audrey Neilson & Declan Garvey

 

Hi Doug,

 

Just wanted to send you a quick mail to thank you so so much for doing the music for our wedding ceremony/drinks reception. You were absolutely outstanding, even better than I expected. Everyone commented on how brilliant you were. I will be recommending you to everyone! One of the best decisions we made for the wedding.

 

Thanks again

Emma O' Connor & Derek Goonery

 

Hi Doug,

 

I'm just writing to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding in Mulranny last weekend. You were absolutely brilliant and professional at all times. We received huge compliments about how talented you were from a lot of people and friends enquiring about where you're based in case they are interested in the future for you to play for them. You sounded amazing and are a very talented musician - we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone. Good luck in the future with everything!

 

Thank you again,

Judi Lynch and Aiden Jennings

 

Doug,

 

So sorry we didn't get to see you. We were blown away by the music as were all the guests. 

We had at least 10 people ask us for your number. Take care and thank you so much again. 

 

Mick Flanagan & Nicola McDowell

 

 

Hi Doug,

 

Firstly thank you so much for your part in what was a wonderful day for us, you really added to and helped make the occasion for us.  

Your singing in the ceremony was just beautiful and was a perfect complement to the ceremony, very emotional. The songs you picked for the evening were just what we wanted, pity some of the dancing let the songs down.

Thank you so much again.  Please let me know if there is anywhere in particular you would like us to add a comment/reference for prospective future customers and more than happy for you to use us as a reference.

 

Best regards

Chris & Suzanne Sherwood

 

Hey Doug,

 

I hope all is well! Joan and I are so grateful that you managed to sing for us at our wedding, you are truly amazing! Everyone was talking about you, what a star :) We can see why you are always in demand. Your ‘Falling in Love In a Coffee Shop’ was unbelievable. Thanks you so much for everything, you are one of the people who genuinely made our day. Wishing you all the very best in everything you do in life :)

 

Kindest Regards

Andrew and Joan Strainthorpe

Hi Doug,

 

Thank you so much, we had an amazing day!

Everyone was singing your praises, they kept talking about the music in the church.

You wouldn't of know you had a throat infection.  

Thank you so much!

Looking forward to looking at the video again so we can really take everything in.

 

Kindest regards,

Helen Kiernan & Conor Keegan

 

Hi Doug,

 

I just wanted to say a big Thank You for making our wedding day so special. 

You were amazing and everyone really enjoyed your singing.

 

Thanks again

Hi Doug

 

Thank you for the beautiful music on Friday! Everyone said it really made the ceremony and added to the atmosphere at the drinks reception. Honestly it was even better than we were expecting!

 

Kate Keane and Fearghal Ryan

 

Doug,

 

Thank you so much for everything on Saturday! Everyone was raving about you & you helped so much to make our day as special as it was!

Your an unbelievable performer & it was so great to have you there.

 

Neil Kelly & Diana Casey

 

Hi Doug, Ciaran

 

We are just back from our honeymoon and I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you! We hardly got to even say hello to you both on the day but you need to know that we were literally blown away by the music during our wedding ceremony!

I have been listening to the various pieces since and get emotional as I remember them being played during the special moments of our ceremony.

 

You both did an absolutely outstanding job. So many of our friends and family said that it was one of the nicest ceremonies that they had been to and this is in no small part down to both of your performances. You seemed to gel so well together - Doug your voice was perfect for the songs we had chosen and Ciaran you and your colleague added further depth and feeling with your stunning instrumental performances.  

 

We both wish we could relive the ceremony again and our only regret is that we didn’t get a videographer for this part.

 

Anyway thank you again and if we ever redo our vows at some stage in the future, expect a call!

 

With warmest regards and best wishes

 

Fiona Kelly & Darragh O Regan

(Collaboration with Sacred Sounds)

 

 

Doug,

You were awesome!!! Everyone was raving about you. Sorry we were taken up with photographs so we missed most of the drinks reception L

Emma Donegan & Kevin McEntee

 

 

Hi Doug ,

Just wanted to say a big huge thank you for everything on Thursday. You were fantastic and everyone was impressed and commented on how well you sounded.

Thank you for making our day that extra bit special :-)

 

Kindest regards

Mr and Mrs. Harcourt!

 

Hi Doug

 

Just wanted to send you a quick mail to say a huge thank you for the music during our ceremony last week.  We couldnt have asked for it to be better in any way and really exceeded both our expectations.  Thank you for putting so much hard work into the songs for us which added so much to our special day.

 

If we are ever looking for a musician again we will definitely be in touch with you!  Wish I could rewind to the start of the day now and experience it all again!

 

Warmest Regards

Tim Murphy & Caroline Lawless

 

Hi Doug,

 

We were absolutely delighted with your singing lots of the guests complemented you. Thanks for making our day so perfect.

Jenna Gilbride & Jerome Renehan

Hi Doug,

Just amazing- so thanks again.
