Latest reviews of our Wedding Ceilidh Bands in Ipswich

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! "
