“Morning ladies, just a quick note to say thank you so much for performing at our wedding earlier this month. So many of our guests commented on the music and singing, and how beautiful it was. We can’t wait to get the video and be able to listen to it all again.”
— Lucinda & Aidan, November 2024
“Aisling recently played at our wedding on the Cliffs of Moher. She was so easy to contact in the lead up to the wedding and was so helpful in helping us select songs that meant something to us. On the day, Aisling’s music was beautiful and made our ceremony so special. Our guests did not know we had arranged a harpist and were blown away. They are still talking about Aisling! Thank you so much Aisling, you are amazing at what you do!”
— Maria & Harry, July 2023
“If we could give more than 5 ***** we would! Aisling and Kayla made our ceremony and reception drinks so romantic and perfect! We had so much great feedback about them both. They are both extremely friendly and helpful with guiding you to create your day through music. Thank you so much!”
— Olivia & Michael, September 2024
“Aisling played for our welcome reception and it was the most beautiful welcome we could have asked for as we arrived in the venue. The beautiful music created a magical atmosphere. The variety of music was perfect for setting the mood. Our guests loved it and our venue was asking for details to share with couples in the future. We would highly recommend Aisling to anyone looking to add some magic to their wedding day. Thanks again Aisling.”
— Olwen & Max, June 2023
“We were thrilled to have Aisling perform at our wedding this July. Her talent brought the perfect ambiance (to the already incredible Markree Castle), making our day truly magical. The repertoire was perfectly chosen, blending classical and traditional Irish pieces to suit every moment. Many of our guests remarked on how the music elevated the entire event.
Aisling also arranged two custom pieces for us on our request. Having her capture two of our favorite songs on the harp was an incredible experience and really made our day feel more "us". Working with her was so easy--she was very professional and attentive and ensured every piece was beautifully executed. If you’re seeking a musician to add a touch of magic to your event, we highly recommend Aisling Lyons.
Thanks Aisling for making our wedding unforgettable!”
— Sarah & Luke, July 2024

— Colette & Keith, April 2024

— Lucy & Tiernan, June 2024
“Aisling performed for our ceremony and cocktail reception and truly exceeded all expectations. She curated the most lovely ceremony music as we shared with her a couple of must haves and she knew exactly when to play them at the perfect moments, as well as read the room on other appropriate songs to play. It was so lovely to be at the cocktail reception and hear her beautiful harp as we conversed with guests. Her songs were elegant, soft and the perfect addition to our wedding day. 10000000/10 recommend Aisling!!”
— Courtney, June 2024

— Katy Davis, June 2024
“We were so happy that Aisling was available for our ceremony. All of our guests were extremely complimentary of her music, she brought a very elegant touch to our day! I loved looking through her Instagram to hear clips of different songs as inspiration for what we wanted to pick. We cannot recommend her highly enough - thank you Aisling”
— Helena, September 2024
“Aisling was amazing from start to finish. I’m so happy I asked her to play for my ceremony. It was magical. Aishling made the whole process so easy. There isn’t a song she would turn down, she will go above and beyond to make sure the songs are perfectly aligned with your vision. Highly recommend”

— Zoe & Liam, June 2024
“Aisling Lyons performed at our wedding ceremony which took place at home on our farm in rural Westmeath. We found Aisling extremely professional, helpful and accommodating in the run up to the occasion and she performed beautifully on the day. We had many guests from abroad and were keen to give them a uniquely Irish experience - she placed herself under an apple tree in the orchard on a bright summers day and was the very picture of romantic Ireland. She also played afterwards at the wedding reception and our guests really enjoyed her mix of traditional and contemporary harp music. Aisling has a deep understanding of the meaning of music and while we were given full licence in our choice of instrumentals, Aisling also shared her views on the significance of different pieces of music and their appropriateness for the occasion - words of advice which were gratefully appreciated. Harp music is a precious part of Ireland’s history and culture and Aisling is a wonderful custodian of that heritage..”
— James & John, June 2023
“We had Aisling play for our vow renewal and everything was amazing! She was a delight to deal with and her music added the perfect ambiance to our Irish castle renewal. The combination of traditional and modern music was fantastic. Highly recommend Aisling for any event!”
— Adrienne, May 2023
“Aisling was WONDERFUL, the guests from our ceremony are still talking about her 2 weeks later. She encouraged us to send song requests that we wanted to hear even if it was something we hadn’t heard on the harp before. I loved hearing my favorite songs played on the harp, it was so special for us and our families. She really made our ceremony magical.”
— Jen Saint, October 2023

“Aisling was amazing! From start to finish, she was easy to communicate with during her the planning process and even offers to learn new songs per request. She was on time and already set up well before ceremony time. Her music was beautiful and tied the whole ceremony together. It would not have been the same without her! I would 100% recommend!”
— Ryan, October 2023
“Thank you so much for the beautiful ceremony music!! We got so many compliments with people saying how beautiful it was. And thank you for being flexible with the last minute addition of the drinks reception music too. The music during the drinks reception was perfect.
We so appreciate you helping make our day magical and for being so communicative and easy to work with.
You’re incredibly talented and we’re beyond happy you were part of our big day! Happy new year!”

— Hot Press Magazine, 2022

I have had the pleasure of performing alongside Aisling at two very important events in the past, and on both occasions, she has remained extremely committed and dedicated to the cause, and performed to an extremely high standard. In addition, Aisling is kind, polite and friendly, and has always been willing to assist me when I have required it. I would have no hesitation in recommending this talented performer and her exceptional music skills to anyone!”

— Caitlin, November 2023
“Aisling is an extremely talented musician who played beautifully on our wedding day. Her support with picking pieces to play was above and beyond expectations. Aisling helped make our wedding even more personal to us. Cannot recommend Aisling enough.”
— Claire, March 2024
“Aisling played for us at our wedding ceremony at Waterford Castle and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her music set the mood for the entire day with many complimenting how beautiful it was. We sent over a couple of requests from her own playlist but also had a specific request which she was more than happy to accommodate as I managed to track down some sheet music of the tune specifically for harp, and sent it to her in advance. The special performance was fantastic.
We had plans to have a family harp present on the day and Aisling remained open to the idea of being able to play it whilst keeping us informed as to what would be needed for it to be played on the day and to make it sound great. The communciation from Aisling was top tier as to what we would need to do. We didn't have the harp available in the end, and Aisling was of course well prepared to simply play her own harp instead.
We couldn't be happier with including Aisling as part of our wedding day.”
Paul & Sean, September 2024
“Hi Aisling, I just wanted to thank you for learning the songs for our wedding ceremony and playing them so beautifully, and also for playing during our drinks reception. Our guests loved the ambiance your music provided, and hearing the melodies in our ceremony recording brings back all the best memories. Thanks again for all your help even despite the COVID-19 chaos!”
— Tom, April 2023
“My wife and I had our wedding vow renewal at the Cliffs of Moher and not only were we blessed with amazing weather, we also were honored to have Aisling play background music to our special day even better. She is a harp-genius and was able to play everything we requested, sounding even better than we had imagined. Our day wouldn't have been as awesome without her and we no doubt would recommend her for any event!”
— Marlon, August 2022
“We were thrilled to find Aisling available in the last month before our wedding. We listened to her music and were totally entranced. Aisling was brilliant in the run up to the event, she communicated by email and even got to talk to her on the phone beforehand and she was always very gracious with our requests even though they were changing... so spent time beforehand to consider what we wanted. Our venue was Brigit's Garden and having her was a dream for a Celtic-themed garden fairy wedding. She has the entire panorama of music as well as modern songs like Ed Sheeran, so she's incredibly versatile. She is absolutely lovely to work with and our only regret is not having have got to meet her after and thank her personally for an her most gifted and transcendent contribution to our wedding.”
— Patrick Mc, August 2022
“*5 stars*
Aisling and her brother Sean played at our humanist ceremony and drinks reception this weekend in Ennistymon. We are so happy they were available because having them sing and play made our day even more special. Calum and I were very unorganised and only decided on the songs for our ceremony fairly last minute but they were very accommodating and flexible. Aisling played harp and Sean sang and played guitar. They played a lovely mix of songs that suited our relaxed celebration and everyone complimented the music. We would highly recommend Aisling and Sean. They are both extremely talented and professional musicians. Thanks for being part of our wedding day!”
— Niamh & Calum, September 2019
“Aine Mae and I, along with our guests, thoroughly enjoyed Aisling's music at our wedding ceremony in Lahinch. A wonderful melody of Irish hymns and contemporary music made our day more personal and special. We highly recommend Aisling Lyons for your special day. Truly amazing.”
— Aine Mae & Tommy, May 2019
“Aisling is a fantastic musician whose effortless talents are difficult to encapsulate. Her musical abilities combined with her professionalism ensures she is an absolute pleasure to work with let alone listen to. In addition she is polite, friendly and incredibly endearing. I would highly recommended Aisling for any event and especially for a wedding because she endeavours to make every one feel special through her music which in itself is a rare quality. I look forward to working with Aisling again in the future.”
— Miriam Farrell Fitzgerald (Celebrant)
“We recently had Aisling play at our wedding, she was extremely helpful from the get go, she had an extensive list of examples that she had used at other weddings and was very helpful at working with us to incorporate the music choices that we had selected for the day. The music was absolutely beautiful, Aisling played with a friend of hers, Sharon, on the cello. Everyone complimented the music from the church and the drinks reception, that you both are very approachable and could see the passion you have for music.”
— Noelle & Dan, January 2019
“Aisling played beautiful music on the Harp during our wedding ceremony. We were delighted to be able to have her there on the day. She was so accommodating playing the songs we picked ourselves and nothing was a problem. Very nice to deal with and always replies quickly to any query. Thanks so much Aisling for helping to make the ceremony special.”
— Yvonne B, October 2022
“We were absolutely blown away by Aisling & Seán yesterday at both the ceremony and reception. Ye really made the day so special and I'm delighted you were able to play for us. You are both so gifted, we'll never forget the impact you made on our day. I could not have imagined the music for my walk up the aisle being any more perfect. We are so grateful for the preparation ye put in and how effortless it was to liaise with you in the lead up. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ”
— Ailish & John, County Clare
“Our ceremony in Cratloe Church was unforgettable and a lot of that was down to the moving music provided by Aisling. There is something nearly hypnotic about the music from the harp, and more especially when Aisling is playing it. You could hear a pin drop in the church and as many of them told me afterwards, the congregation were captivated. She has a huge future ahead of her and we were delighted to have her as such a special part of our big day.”
— Carol & Aaron, County Clare
