Cragganmore Ceilidh Band's Reviews

5 out of 5

We can't recommend Cragganmore Ceilidh Band enough - they were brilliant! The majority of the guests attending our wedding had never done a ceilidh before, but the band were extremely patient and very encouraging to those who slightly lacked coordination! Lots of our guests have told us since that they really enjoyed the music and had so much fun. Thanks so much to Cragganmore Ceilidh Band for helping to make our day so special!

A lively and professional ceilidh band, Cragganmore played at our wedding last weekend. A great mixture of tunes and clear calling for some of our less confident guests made for some brilliant dancing, followed by a fun DJ set with lights from Cameron. Huge thanks to the guys for a great night! Highly recommend!!
