Church Wedding Ceremony Advice

2/28/2015

Well the rain may be pouring in Belfast, Northern Ireland today, but that didn't stop this wedding ceremony singer getting to the church on time and it definitely didn't stop the bride getting to the church either! I was performing at a beautiful religious ceremony at Holy Cross Chapel, Crumlin Rd, Belfast today. As always the bride looked absolutely beautiful and the priest was a very welcoming chap.

I had never been to this chapel before and it was a very grand venue for a wedding ceremony. The acoustics were fantastic and the violin sounded so sweet when I was performing my new instrumental, Ave Maria by Bach on solo violin. I certainly enjoyed being able to perfrom several pieces on the solo violin as well as working as wedding singer.

Brides often ask for a little advice about what they should have performed on their big day. Everyone will be different. However, I think a bit of variety is always lovely. So a wedding singer and also a wedding musician. I love getting the chance to play solo violin and also sing and play guitar. perhaps an instrumental of Canon in D for walking down the aisle and perhaps Lord of the Dance for a triumphant exit.

Remember. very often priests will only allow hymns to be sung at the ceremony. However, you can often get away with an instrumental version of a popular song. Today I played and instrumental version of One Thousand Years by Christina Perri for the entrance. Perfect!

Wedding Singer Northern Ireland goes to Ethiopia!

It is amazing how busy this Northern Ireland wedding singer has been with church and chapel wedding ceremony enquiries! In fact, I have had several brides want to make church ceremony bookings for the same day. That really doesn't happen very often! Lol. I always hate having to say no too, I'd rather be able to perform at all the church wedding ceremonies that I can. It keeps me on my toes and keeps my fingers nimble for the fiddle too.

I am also really busy getting ready to leave Belfast, Northern Ireland and head to Ethiopia with The Dandy Horses for our big Irish Embassy gig in Addis Abbaba. Heading off in less than 5 weeks. I love playing withe the guys in the band as they are such talented and versatile musicians. We generally perform all original songs and music, but we also perform at weddings receptions when the notion takes us. If you are interested in booking them, just get in touch with me and I'll see if we can help. The band will perform at church wedding ceremonies, civil partnerships and receptions. So hard to believe it is almost a year since the launch of our last EP, 'Hat On The Sun'.

Wedding Singer in Belfast...

2/22/2015

Sometimes working as a self-employed wedding singer in Belfast and around Northern Ireland can bring to me some really beautiful locations, it can also allow me to meet some really interesting people and musicians. This week I have been asked to perform with another wedding musician at a wedding ceremony. I don't know this musician yet, but I always look forward to meeting other like minded people and getting the opportunity to work when them and see what take they have on popular wedding hymns.

I've also been working on a few arrangements for a wedding fayre coming up soon. I am looking at wedding ceremony music for religious and non religious ceremonies and adding in a little bit of mandolin. A friend of mine has thankfully agreed to perform with me. It also means I won't have to travel around Northern Ireland on my own for this one!

Don't forget, you can catch me performing at the Perfect Bliss Wedding Fayre in Lisburn on Sunday 8th March. Loads of discounts and offers will be available!

Belfast Wedding Singer learning the banjo!

So this wedding singer has had a little time off this week to chill out at home in Belfast and visit friends around Northern Ireland. I''ve also been practising some new songs and having a little look at the banjo. I'm not quite ready to use it to accompany myself yet at wedding ceremonies but it was good to put a bit more work into it. I found this photo of me from a few years ago too.
Also, my wedding singer business cards arrived and my flyers. I'm all set for the wedding fayre in Lisburn, Belfast on Sunday 8th March.!

Belfast Wedding Singer @ Wedding Fair

So it is all confirmed! I will be appearing at the Perfect Bliss Wedding Event in Lisburn, Northern Ireland on Sun 8th March. For those of you not too familiar with Northern Ireland, Lisburn is very close to Belfast and so you can pop down and have a little listen to me doing my thing as a wedding singer. The event has loads of other wonderful bits and pieces for your perfect wedding day. So you won't only hear wedding ceremony singers, wedding bands, wedding reception singers and musicians, but the place will be filled with flowers and pretty things too!

It all kicks off at 2pm at Lagan Valley Island, Lisburn, Northern Ireland and runs until 5pm. It really will be a great day and you will get to hear me perform loads of wedding songs and play the solo violin. I might also have a few other wedding musicians and singers pop in and perform with me to let you hear what else Noeleen Cosgrove Music can offer you.

There will also be great discounts on the day!

Beautiful Belfast Bride Joanne, chose The Dandy Horses & Noeleen Cosgrove Music to be her wedding singers!

I had the great pleasure of performing at this beautiful Belfast bride's wedding over Christmas. We had a fantastic afternoon in Belfast City Hall, Northern Ireland, before heading to a local restaurant where I had the great pleasure of performing with The Dandy Horses at the evening function.

As much as I love being a wedding singer around Northern Ireland, it is sometimes just fantastic to be able to get a chance to play with such a great band and with my friends! I'm looking forward to jetting off from Belfast, Northern Ireland to sing in Ethiopia at the Irish Embassy at the end of March.

Also, I've been busy getting things sorted for a wedding exhibition coming up in Lisburn Civic Centre on Sunday 8th March. If you want to hear me doing my wedding singer thing, you can catch me there between 2 and 5pm. There will be all sorts of great wedding music discounts!

Remember, I will travel and sing at wedding ceremonies and civil partnerships all over Northern Ireland!

Finally... have a listen to A Thousand Years - recorded in my living room. Maybe I could sing this at your wedding?

Popular Northern Ireland Wedding Song

2/1/2015

So a busy weekend this weekend! As well as all the usual wedding ceremony and wedding reception bits and pieces, this wedding singer also had a rehearsal with the fabulous 'The Dandy Horses' for our big trip to Ethiopia to perform for the Irish Embassy. That went on quite late but was great fun. We are leaving Belfast, Northern Ireland on Thursday 19th March for 5 days. So no wedding ceremony in Belfast that weekend. However, if you are looking for a wedding singer for your ceremony or reception that weekend get in touch as I can recommend a few people.

Then, today, as generally I have no wedding ceremonies to perform at, I decided to do a wee home recording. A Thousand Years is such a beautiful song and a really popular one around Belfast and in fact throughout Northern Ireland, so I decided to record a cover of it my living room on the laptop. I'm also planning to perform an instrumental version at a wedding ceremony in Belfast very soon. Have a wee listen...
