Ulster Landing is an energetic trio of fiddle, harp and uilleann (Irish) pipes. We specialize in Irish, Scottish, and English music, and we have a great time playing together!
Ulster Landing was the perfect addition to our house party. They were very easy to work with and their catalog runs deep!
We hired Karen and one of her partners for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They were phenomenal! Communication with Karen leading up to the event was excellent and she was so helpful to us in selecting the right kind of music for our Irish-infused wedding. My only regret is not being able to sit and listen to them from beginning to end! Everyone commented on how beautiful the music was. I definitely would hire them again for any event and highly recommend them!
We had such a fun experience using Ulster Landing, they were incredibly helpful, responsive, and amazing band! We had traditional Irish musicians at our Baby Shower and they commented on how great the band was! Would definitely hire them again for another event.
Karen was wonderful to work with and very flexible to our changing wedding plans!
Music was terrific!
I highly recommend Ulster Landing. They were very professional, their music was lovely, the selections well chosen, and the combination of their Celtic instruments and an occasional vocal blended beautifully.
Very talented artists for our St Pat's Event. Low key and great background music.
Ulster Lansing played at our family’s St Patrick’s Day party and they were great! They had a variety of music, were engaging, and showed up right on time. We would definitely hire them again!
Worked with Karen to set up evening. She was most accommodating. They are s talented group. They do mostly instrumental, but their singing was very good. They arrived when promised and all enjoyed.
I hired "Ulster landing" for my Daughters wedding. They came in and did a gorgeous job of playing music. My guests raved over the music and many of them were happy to just sit and watched them play. They came a little early and tuned up to get ready. They made the night warm and really beautiful. Thank you Ulster Landing.. you were all fantastic!
We hired Karen Burciaga and her Ulster Landing group to play at my daughter’s wedding reception on June 17, 2017. What a wonderful performance! Their music added so much to the atmosphere. They showed up on time, and played throughout the reception. The variety of pieces was great, and each of the musicians was top notch. I worked directly with Karen to schedule the event. Karen was easy to work with, had many useful suggestions, and always promptly responded to questions. I would not hesitate to hire Ulster Landing again for a future event.
We had a duo come in to play for an hour and a half at a themed cocktail party where we were highlighting travel to the UK & Ireland. They were very popular with our clients, and had a group of people sat listening to their entire performance.
Ulster Landing was the perfect touch the celebration!
Did a wonderful job, very professional, music was awesome
The musician's were very talented! Everyone was talking about the music the next few days and were very impressed. My only recommendations would be to 1) mike up a little earlier as people were not sure if it was background music or entertainment. And 2) do the sing along music a little earlier (Irish Eyes are Smiling, Oh Danny Boy etc). Everyone did a great job, and you could tell they really enjoy what they do. Such great talent
