We’re musicians first.

Fierce Weddings is the wedding side of Fierce Mild — Ailise O’Neill, Andrew Ryan and Darryl Brazil.

We’re a Waterford-based band with years of experience playing together at weddings, gigs and festivals across Ireland.

We started Fierce Weddings to bring our own approach to wedding music — great songs, great musicianship and a packed dancefloor, without the same-old wedding band feel.

Wedding music without the wedding-band formula.

We don’t think wedding music has to sound like wedding music.

Our approach is pretty simple: play great songs, play them well and make sure people have a brilliant time.

From stripped-back acoustic music earlier in the day to Fierce Mild taking over the dancefloor at night, we keep the music feeling like us — while making the day feel like you.

GOOD SONGS.
LIVE MUSIC.
FULL DANCEFLOORS.
NO WEDDING-BAND CHEESE.
