The competition is over a number of stages. The first being a nationwide vote starting in late October. Once that is done and if you progress to the next stage, each finalist is asked to make an online submission. The entry is reviewed by a panel of wedding experts. It is these experts that determine the winner o f each category.

The awards night itself is a glitzy black tie gala night with over 33 categories, all presented by Lisa Cannon from TV3. I am absolutely thrilled and want to thank everyone for their support and bookings over the last number of years!

For this night Free Beer Wedding Band from Limerick played the first half of the nights entertainment and I partied into the small hours with the guests. The bride from West Cork and groom from Limerick danced into the night their 150 guests. The band played a great mix of party Irish, rock n roll and country music. I started with a few well known party classics into the 90s dance classics and some 90s hip hop. The Ac/Dc rock and Irish dancing went down a storm towards the end. I finished with a great song from Take That called Never Forget. It has a great chorus and everyone sang along. It was an ideal way to finish and put everyone in good form for the residents bar.

Top tip for booking the best wedding DJ in Kerry:

When emailing an enquiry be sure to include – date, venue and what you would like in terms of times etc. I get a huge number of enquiries without some of this information and it can be difficult to know what information people want. I am also always available via mobile and can answer any questions people have. Usually a 5/10 minute phone conversation can be a quick way to making sure you have all the information you need to book.

I have been a Kerry Wedding DJ in Killarney at many weddings but this function was a local neighbor who got married. There were a lot of familiar faces at the wedding including some of my own family (no added pressure). J90 Wedding Band from Cork played the first half of the nights entertainment and had the floor full from the very start. The wedding had a wide range of ages to cater for with many different tastes in music. After speaking with the couple about the music they had no specific requests only to keep everyone dancing. I played a good mix of songs from a local nightclub that would have been well known to the couple as well as many of the guests attending. Looking at the couples testimonial after they said it was like them being back in their teenage disco days!

More information about Paudie Walsh – Kerry Wedding DJ

I have been a Wedding DJ for several years and have played countless weddings in Killarney including many in the Killarney Oaks. I am familiar with nearly every wedding venue in Kerry and have played there at least once. It is great peace of mind to know a supplier knows a venue and has worked there in the past. There is far less organisation from a couple’s stand point and a lot less questions on a suppliers side. When I know a venue I can arrive, load in and set up without the need to ask staff or cause any obstructions. It makes for a smooth and seamless transition on the night.

The two clips below (apologies for mobile phone quality) just show some of the fun from the night. This was coming towards the end of the night and I was playing some of the party hits that every guest will know. These songs near the end will ensure all the guests are on the floor and having a good time. Some even decided to make a train around the dance floor to get some people who were sitting down to join them on the dance floor. The Irish dancing/Riverdance songs are a popular request with couples. It makes sure the guests can let loose, or dance on a chair depending on their preference. 😉

Top Tip For Hiring Wedding DJs in Limerick:
Find out where the DJ is based. It is often better if a band or DJ don’t have to travel far to reach the venue. I am based in Limerick city and many venues are only a short 15/20 minute drive from home. This is great peace of mind that they won’t get delayed or lost on route. It also means they will have probably worked in the venue previously, know the function manager and it will make for a far smoother evening.

I started as soon as the band finished and immediately played some floor filling 1980’s including Footloose. It is a brilliant song universal with young and old guests. I included some of the 90s dance classics to bring everyone back to their younger days. A request from the Bride was some Westlife for her and some of her college friends. It went down brilliantly and had everyone singing along. The dance floor was full from the very start of the night to the last song with some guests shouting for more as I played the last song.

Since that booking I have had many friends and family of the couple booking and recommending me for their own wedding. I play regularly down in West Cork in others venues too including – Inchydoney Hotel, Fernhill House, The Maritime, Lissard Estate, Blair’s Cove and many others.

Top Tip for Booking a Cork Wedding DJ:
Be sure to ask a DJ what type of music they generally play at a wedding. Personally the music I play changes from wedding to wedding. My main aim is to keep the dance floor full and everyone enjoying themselves. There are always party songs that work but often it has to be changes to suit the full floor. If you have some do’s and don’ts be sure to talk to the DJ about them. However, I would advise to leave as much of the song selection to the DJ. At the end of the day, you are booking a DJ for their expertise and experience. If you have a good, experienced wedding DJ booked they will know what will work and what won’t.
