A regular port of call for the best Irish Wedding Bands is Ballymagarvey Village in Balrath, County Meath, and it is genuinely one of The Best Men Wedding Band's favourite places to play.
We actually played at the first wedding that took place at Ballymagarvey Village, so we were the first band to play there nearly 20 years ago. Since then, we have performed there countless times. So much so that recently, the barman joked to Daragh (our drummer) that we were there more than he was!
Our guitarist Colin sent up his drone and shot a couple of clips of the venue last December:
We've seen the venue evolve practically every year. Originally, wedding bands would load in their instuments through an area beside the bar. The bar was in its own room and the dancefloor was in the function room. Then they resituated the bar and opened both rooms to eachother, which is a great advantage for wedding bands playing there - having the bar separate to the dancefloor can be a challenge, as it can be difficult to lure guests from the bar room to the dance room.
My calendar only goes back to 2017, but I totted up the number of times The Best Men Wedding Band have been there and it is 138 times! That's including the 2 years of no gigs during COVID and not including 10 years worth of gigs before that. Here are a couple of snaps through the years...
We have also played many ceremonies in the Mill building, both piano and ukulele music. Here is a picture from our first ceremony in the Mill - back in 2011!
We’re proud to be one of the most in-demand Irish wedding bands, and Ballymagarvey Village holds a special place in our history.
