The Lemon Céilí Co.
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Thank you for making our evening wedding reception an absolute blast! The music led by Grace was superb, we loved having a female pipe player. Briony’s calling was brilliant, getting all involved with good humour and clear instruction. Our guests are still commenting on what an amazing evening they had with The Lemon Céilí Co. Thank you again for helping to make our special day so memorable and so much fun!"

Caperbility
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Caperbility were the ceilidh band for my wedding Oct 7 and they were amazing! Very responsive, accommodating and enthusiastic - our venue had certain restrictions (ie they don’t allow for amplification) but Vicki and Johnny were more than happy to adjust to playing acoustically for a crowd of up to 60-70 and it worked! They were also very professional and as someone with not much experience organising ceilidhs, they were very patient and helpful. I would definitely recommend them! Especially if you’re on a budget, they are great value for money :) Can’t thank them enough in making our wedding fun and memorable! "
