Recent reviews of our Wedding Ceilidh Bands in East Lothian

“There aren't enough words or stars to do them justice! Amazing from booking to performance. Our wedding was such a success and a big part of that was the service provided by the Jacobites. Before they performed, we were chatting like friends and by the time it was over, we felt part of their family! Every single song was amazing and dancing was progressive to cater to our guests. We have had so many compliments about how amazing The Jacobites were- definitely the best in the business!”
