We're The Swing Cats, the wedding band behind sold-out nights at Vicar Street and the Olympia. We mix swing classics with modern hits for a dancefloor that stays full from the first dance to the last song of the night, across Ireland and abroad.
The full Swing Cats line-up for the dancefloor, with the big-band sound of our theatre shows.
A scaled-down line-up to set the mood while your guests arrive and mingle.
A DJ to keep the party going once the band has finished.
★★★★★Lynn O'Neill · Google reviewThe Swing Cats played at our wedding back in April, they were absolutely amazing & had the dancefloor full all night.
★★★★★Daniela Murray · Google reviewWe honestly couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding than The Swing Cats.
The band was absolutely incredible from start to finish, and every single guest commented on how fantastic they were. One of the best parts of the night was looking around and seeing the dance floor packed all evening—even guests who would never normally dance were up and having an amazing time!
A huge thank you for taking the time to learn our first dance and father-daughter dance songs. It meant so much to us and made those moments incredibly special.
Luke was brilliant throughout the day, and the DJ kept the party going perfectly into the night. The music was exactly what we had hoped for from beginning to end.
Music and dancing have always been such a huge part of our relationship, so seeing all of our family and friends together on the dance floor having the best time was everything we had dreamed of. We barely left the dance floor ourselves all night!
We genuinely couldn't recommend The Swing Cats more highly. So many of our guests were asking for the band's name after the wedding, which says it all. They helped create the atmosphere we had always imagined and made our wedding feel so special. Thank you to the entire band and the DJ for giving us a night we'll never forget!
★★★★★Shelley M. · Kaitlin & Ryan's wedding, Dromoland Castle · Google reviewBOOK THIS BAND!! The Swing Cats were one of the best choices we made for our daughter's wedding at Dromoland Castle. Vinny and his band were very professional to work with and they went out of their way to accommodate our specific needs. We were planning this wedding from the United States and it was an easy process to work with Vinny. From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was filled to capacity and it stayed that way for the entire time the band played! Our guests were blown away by this band and couldn't stop talking about how great they were the next day. The swing music vibe was so energizing and it had everyone was on their feet! Thank you Vinny for your part in making the wedding reception unforgettable!!
★★★★★James Murphy · Google reviewHad the swing cats at our wedding in Dec 2025 - highly recommend!
★★★★★Ciaran McGettigan · Google reviewThe swing cats performed at our wedding in the Intercontinental hotel in Ballsbridge.
To say that they were excellent would be an understatement. At no point in the entire evening was the dance floor reduced to one or two people, it was packed all night long with people enjoying Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin and all of the rat pack.
Vinny and the band were a pleasure to deal with and delivered in spades. I cannot recommend this band highly enough. They contributed so much to a wonderful evening. Thank you so much to Vinny and the swing cats and their team for making our night a night to remember.
★★★★★Eoin O'Mahony · Google reviewWe had The Swing Cats play at our wedding recently and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. From the very beginning, their manager, Vinny, was an absolute pleasure to deal with - so friendly, cooperative, and professional, which made the whole process seamless.
On the night, the band themselves were just brilliant! Their energy was infectious, and they had our guests up on the dance floor from the very first song right until the end of the night. The atmosphere they created was exactly what we had hoped for. So many of our guests have commented on how amazing the music was.
We can't recommend The Swing Cats highly enough. If you want a guaranteed full dance floor and a night to remember, book them! Thank you for making our wedding reception so special.
