However, The Atlantic covers more than simply the major event. With a keen sense of detail and a talent for adaptability, they provide a whole package that includes DJ services and ceremony music. "We're not just a band; we're your musical journey from 'I do' to 'Let's dance,'" Mark smiles and quips. The Atlantic are prepared to travel and share their musical magic throughout Ireland, from Galway to Killarney. However, don't simply believe what they say. Experience their live performance at Sligo's Lillies Bar to get a taste of what makes them the most popular wedding band in the area.
