If you're looking for great music for your Austin wedding, I have a great recommendation–the Brobdingnagian Bards. I know, I know. I play with the band, so I'm biased. But hey, don't take my word for it. Check out these referrals:
“We had planned on having a string quartet at our wedding. While looking on the web for groups, we ran across The Bards. We immediately called Karen's dad, since he was footing the bill, and played Tolkien over the phone. It was an instant hit and we later chose it as the solo for our wedding ceremony. We decided to be a little different and use Maids in the Meadow for the recessional. It was wonderful!”
–Karen and Erik Hayden, Austin Wedding Newlyweds
It's not very easy actually to hire us. We tour outside of Austin constantly, but our Austin wedding music is always available. One of our most-popular CDs is A Celtic Renaissance Wedding. Yes, it's an album of Celtic-style wedding music.
Our Austin wedding CD has been used in countless weddings by both fans of Celtic music and non-fans a-like. It's available for just $9.97 online, or you can purchase a copy exclusively offline at Things Celtic (ph# 512-472-2358) at 1805 W. 35th Street if you want to avoid shipping. Incidentally, I understand it's their best-selling CD!
