  2. booked Drop Spindle Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Drop Spindle were the most amazing ceilidh band for our daughter's wedding. They were great communicators, friendly, flexible and helpful (particularly in helping us deal with an unexpected incident!) and certainly got everyone up dancing. We would definitely recommend them.

  3. booked Ceithir for a wedding

    Verified

    We loved having Ceithir playing at our wedding. We had Caelin calling at our welcome party on Friday and then the whole band played on Saturday at our wedding. The band were very professional, easy to communicate with, and made the ceilidh experience really fun for all our guests. We had a mix of guests who were experienced with ceilidh and guests who had never been to on before. The band made sure that their set accommodated all guests very well. Overall an excellent experience. Huge thanks to the band!

  5. booked The New Fox Band - Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Absolutely brilliant Ceilidh band. We just had the two peice band as the room we were having the dancing in wasn't the biggest but they managed to fill the room with music. Absolutley brilliant Ceilidh band. Most of the guests at the wedding hadn't been to a Ceilidh before and the caller was brilliant to make sure everyone knew the steps. He had everyone up on the floor dancing straight for two hours. Can't recommend enough. If you're thinking about booking I would definitely do it they are more than worth it!

  8. booked Drop Spindle Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    We would fully recommend Drop Spindle! They have just played at our wedding celebration and the ceilidh really made the day and got everyone mixing and laughing. The band were really good at teaching us the dances and encouraging people to get into the spirit of it! It was a very hot day so they were flexible about people needing longer between dances to cool off outside! They were really friendly and easy to communicate with. We had lots of feedback from guests, they had lots of fun and I think there's some more ceilidh converts for sure! It was so special to be dancing and having fun with all our favourite people, thank you so much guys 🙂

  9. booked The Sweeney Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    They were excellent- from the quick replies to communication before hand, to rolling with the slightly off timetable wedding day. They got everyone up and dancing. Putting in extra breaks because the weather was very warm. I would happily use them again. Thank you!

  10. booked Ceòl Beag Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    We had an absolutely fantastic time with Ceòl Beag Ceilidh Band at our wedding! The energy and enthusiasm they brought to the evening was incredible, and everyone loved participating in the dances. We even got to learn some new dances, which made the night extra special. Of course, my personal favourite, strip the willow, was amazing and so much fun! The band did a brilliant job explaining each dance beforehand, making it easy and enjoyable for everyone to join in, no matter their experience level. So many guests took part and had a wonderful evening thanks to Ceòl Beag’s vibrant music and friendly approach. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to keep the party alive and create such joyful memories! Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a lively, inclusive ceilidh experience.

    Excellent band for our wedding. Played Metallica Nothing Else Matters for our first dance and a great mix of ceildh and cover songs. The caller was amazing even with the majority of guests not having a clue what they were doing! Really excellent addition to our wedding reception.

    Wow, what a night! Mary and the band were absolutely fantastic - the combination of Scottish trad music, with classic rock tunes was perfect to get all our wedding guests out on the dance floor. Mary’s communication before and after the event was superb, and able to answer all our questions with ease. For all lot of our guests, it was their first introduction to ceilidh dancing, and Mary was brilliant in her instructions to all dances! It was the highlight of our wedding for most of our guests! Thank you again for a great night, and making our wedding extra special!
