The Velvet Lounge

A wedding lounge and jazz band featuring Ireland’s top jazz vocalist, and one of Ireland’s most experienced pianists and arrangers.

Tired of the same old wedding playlists? The Velvet Lounge is Ireland's definitive lounge band, offering a stylish, soulful alternative to the typical wedding fare. With a set that blends timeless soul, jazz, and vintage charm - reimagining artists from Sinatra to Amy Winehouse - we create a dancefloor where elegance meets fun, and all generations feel at home!

Our music spans Ray Charles to Paolo Nutini, Sinatra to Amy Winehouse, Oasis to Rihanna - all delivered in our signature Velvety style. No cheesy covers (well, not very many!), no ABBA, 'Amarillo' or Brightside (that's what our great DJ is for 🙂 ). Just class, groove, and a soundtrack your guests will talk about long after the night ends.

Fronted by award-winning jazz vocalist Cormac Kenevey and with stunning arrangements by pianist Cian Boylan, our musicians are among Ireland's best - with international tours, five-star reviews, and major press recognition behind them.

We don't subcontract or send out 'B teams'. What you see is what you get: real musicians, real performances. No tracks! We also offer DJ sets and drinks reception options.

Featured in Hot Press, The Irish Times, and LovinDublin. Elegant, feel-good music for couples who want something truly special!

Just a quick email to thank you so much for the wonderful music that was provided at our recent wedding reception! Everybody commented on it, from the jazz duo to start with right through to the DJ at the end. I must also thank you sincerely for allowing my sister to sing and you to play along with her. It was for me one of the highlights of the day! Thanks once again!

Guys - we can't thank you enough for making our wedding reception so special. Our guests loved you, which I think was obvious from the dance moves! You really made it a night to remember for everyone and we received lots of great feedback about the music. We found it incredibly easy to deal with you, from our first email contact you were professional, accommodating and from the beginning it was clear that were in good hands which meant that the music was one less thing to stress about! We had a fantastic night and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a stylish and fresh alternative to a traditional wedding band.
