Testimonials

“On behalf of the Church family, I want to say one more time, thank you so much. We have had so many compliments about the music choice and performance and how Orla would have approved. Your help and guidance was invaluable. Orla Church RIP.”

Ian Church, Catholic Service, Dublin

Singer, Piano, Cello, Flute & Violin
“The music today was beyond beautiful. Everyone commented on it and my Dad would have been so proud. Thank you so much Naoise for your kind support and guidance through all of this. It was the perfect tribute to my Dad. Thanks for making it happen.

Órla Greene

Catholic Service with Singer, Piano & String Trio (Violin, Viola & Cello)
“We have been working with Encore Occasions for over 12 years now and they have provided music for almost 800 of our funerals. Across the group of Kirwans & Fanagans, Naoise’s services are called upon for the most simple of services to the largest and most public-facing services, both Church and Civil. We know that no matter what the scale, each person and each family will be looked after with care, discretion and empathy, as Naoise works with them to provide the most personal of music in the easiest and most helpful way. Her reputation precedes her with regular wonderful feedback and many clients asking to have Encore Occasions noted in their future funeral plans. We look forward to our continued working relationship”.
