  9. booked John Carver Ceilidh Caller for a wedding

    Verified

    John was absolutely fantastic. He not only guided a mixed, lively French-British group through multiple dances (with many asking me where on Earth we found a ceilidh caller who could speak some french!), but he was friendly, fun and adapted the dances to our group's experience level. He made the bride and groom work hard on stripping the willow, a dance we'll well-remember for many years to come!

  10. booked Ceilidh With Us for an event in May 2023

    Verified

    We've been to Ceilidh dances before (always a hit at a wedding) and we have to say Ceilidh With Us, was and will be one of the biggest talking points for our wedding day. Our caller - can't remember his name, tall guy wearing a kilt - was wonderfully enthusiastic and got the whole wedding party up to dance over the course of the 2 sets. We started off with simple dances and he was very good at instructing dancers through the steps whilst keeping the pace and calling fun and entertaining before we got in to the main dance and song. We had a lot children (from 4 upwards) at our wedding and they were able to participate in all the dances (my kids have asked me when we're next doing a ceilidh dance!) We can't thank these guys enough for making our day so memorable.

  12. booked Anna Petrie for a wedding

    Verified

    Anna was incredible performing at our wedding, we booked 3 hours for our ceremony music and garden drinks and we had SO many compliments from out guests on her performance. It was so special to have our ceremony songs played on the violin and we were able to requests specific songs to be played. For the rest of the time I just gave Anna a rough guide on some genres and artists to play - people thought we had picked the whole playlist because the vibes of the music were so spot on! Her playing really made the day feel extra special and set a lovely tone for the drinks reception in the sun, I'd definitely recommend Anna for any wedding or event to give it an extra special touch.

  15. booked for a wedding

    Verified

    Great communication throughout, really friendly and professional band. Exactly what we wanted for our wedding and they created the perfect atmosphere for our evening. Whilst the sun was still out shining the band held off playing their next two sets and waited a little longer ensuring that everyone could have a good dance and the dance floor was busy. Great music, great vocals, great band all round! Thank you!

    David was fantastic a great experience for my father's funeral. A real gentleman and an honour to meet him.
