The Hitmen Trio use amplified acoustic instruments, creative, original arrangements and mash-ups to give well-loved songs a unique makeover. This year they won the Judges’ Commendation for Wedding Band of the Year at the WeddingsOnline.ie awards and were nominated for the Brides’ Choice award. The band are known for their harmony vocals and use guitar and piano to create an upbeat yet intimate sound. Roly Smyth, Cian Mekitarian and Romain Piccolo are versatile virtuoso players; their shows have so much energy and passion you’d be forgiven for thinking there were twice as many onstage. Their set includes Calvin Harris, Daft Punk, Rodrigo y Gabriella, and Johnny Cash as well as a waltz or two for older guests. You can book them for the whole day — they’ll play instrumentals or religious and traditional music at the ceremony and spin the tracks after the main show as well. The Hitmen Trio come with an official seal of approval from some of Ireland’s most chichi wedding venues, such as the K Club, the Four Seasons, Brook Lodge, Killiney Castle, Castle Leslie, Lyons Estate, and Dunbrody House.
