We're a collective of musicians based in Ireland who've spent years playing together at weddings and events. Rather than one fixed band, we have four distinct lineups, each one a real, working group with its own character. What ties them all together is the same standard of musicianship, the same approach to reading a room, and the same commitment to making your night genuinely great.

The main things to consider are your venue size, your budget, and the kind of energy you want in the room. The Suitcase Seven is our flagship, Seven musicians, brass, multiple vocalists, the full experience. Sessions South is our four-piece, tight, punchy, and incredibly versatile. Sessions East and West are also four-pieces, each with their own personality and setlist identity. If you're not sure, just tell us about your night and we'll point you in the right direction.

Yes. When you book Sessions South, you get Sessions South. When you book the Suitcase Seven, you get the Seven. Each lineup performs together regularly - these aren't pickup bands assembled for the occasion. The videos show you exactly what you're getting.

You'll be dealing directly with Jesse, who founded the Suitcase Sessions and oversees every booking. You won't be passed around or handed off to an agent. Jesse manages all enquiries personally and will make sure the right lineup is matched to your night.

We don't publish a fixed setlist, and that's intentional. Our sets are built to read the room and keep the floor moving from start to finish, which means we need the flexibility to call the right song at the right moment. You'll hear plenty of what we play in our videos, and you're welcome to flag anything you'd love to hear or anything you'd rather avoid. Beyond that, trust us…. that's where the magic happens.

You're welcome to flag must-plays and no-goes when you fill out the booking form, and we'll always take them into account. What we'd ask is that you resist the urge to send us a full setlist, not because we don't care about your taste, but because a night that flows naturally is worth more than one that's been over-planned. We know how to get a room going. Let us do that.

Yes. Let us know your song when you book and we'll learn it if it’s a good fit for the band. We'll also talk you through how the transition from dinner to dancing works so the whole evening flows naturally.

Generally 2 × 1 hour sets with a 15 minute break in the middle.

Across the four lineups we cover a wide range, indie, funk, soul, pop, rock, disco, and plenty of floor-filling classics. The setlists are built to hit all ages without being predictable, with a few clever surprises along the way. Check out our videos to get a feel for the kind of songs we play.

Popular dates, especially summer Saturdays, can book out well over a year in advance. As soon as you know your date, it's worth getting in touch to check availability.

Fill out our enquiry form with your date, venue, and what you're looking for. We'll come back to you with the right lineup recommendation and a full quote. Once you're happy, we'll send you a contract and take a deposit to secure the date. From there we'll stay in touch in the lead-up to your wedding to make sure everything is right on the night.

Pricing depends on your date, location, and which lineup you're going for. We don't publish fixed prices because a Saturday in August in Kerry is a different conversation to a Tuesday in Dublin in November. Fill out the enquiry form and we'll come back to you with a clear, itemised quote, no vague estimates, no hidden costs.

Yes. We take a €200 deposit to secure your date. The balance is due closer to the wedding. Everything is laid out clearly in the contract so there are no surprises.

We don't offer provisional holds, dates are only secured with a deposit and a signed contract. If you're not quite ready to commit, get in touch anyway and we'll let you know what's available. Popular dates go quickly so it's always worth moving sooner rather than later.

As long as you have your date and venue confirmed, we can get the booking started. Timings, song requests, and the finer details can all be sorted later. The important thing is securing your date before it goes.

We're based in Dublin and cover the whole country. We regularly travel for weddings and factor travel costs into your quote upfront.

Yes. Every booking includes professional sound and lighting to a high standard. For larger venues or events over 200 people we'll discuss what's needed and make sure everything is covered.

Yes

Yes. We offer full-day packages that cover ceremony music, drinks reception, dinner sets, and DJ. Check out our Extras page for more detail.

A DJ can be added to any booking. We only use our trusted pool of DJs who all work at a really high level.

We don't do public showcases or wedding viewings - but if you you check our YouTube channel you could be there all day watching our live performances.
