Ceili Max put on an exceptional night for us. The piper and whistler set during the ceremony was beautifully delivered, with a few tears in people’s eyes before the wedding was even fully underway. The star of the show was the Banghra Ceilidh. Tad and the rest of the band did a fantastic job keeping the Banghra element a surprise for my Bengali wife who was utterly delighted with Jeevan’s reveal. The sound of both elements in combination for the first time was sublime and raised the atmosphere in the room to another level. I never thought we’d have more than a third of our guests up dancing; yet within the first couple of songs our caller had managed to draw what seemed like nearly every guest up, putting their best foot forwards with huge smiles all round. Simply put, Ceili Max injected a massive dose of fun into our special day- we’d book them again in a heartbeat

Ceili Max put on an excellent ceilidh – and I’ve been to a lot! The music was first rate and they kept a room full of novice dancers going all night, through their energy and love of the music they were playing. Their combination of friendliness and professionalism really helped to buoy the atmosphere; I’d recommend them to anyone (unless your event clashes with mine!)”

Customer questions

Can you perform covers?

Yes - but it depends on the song and how much work is required to learn/arrange the piece

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes, please talk to us if you've a special request for a certain instrument. Perhaps you'd like our dhol drummer in the lineup!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We strongly recommend you leave the background music before and during a ceilidh to us. We've seen first hand how the wrong playlist can steer guests towards a disco too early and ruin the ceilidh!

usually we need around 1hr

Do you provide a caller?

yes - our caller is a main member of our band!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

yes, please let us know if you've a favourite ceilidh dance or ballad that you'd like from us!

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA) included in your quote?

Can you learn song requests before the event?
