Stroma were fantastic when they played 2 ceilidh sets for our wedding in Greenwich. They were very responsive in the organisation and their playing was faultless with very clear calling. Would recommend them to anyone!

Great music and detailed explanations

The band were super, and really good at getting everyone up and dancing - we had plenty of international guests who had never been to a ceilidh before, but Aileen consistently had the floor full. We've had great feedback from the Scots who grew up with these dances, as well as from those who weren't even sure what a ceilidh was at the start of the night.

A lively and friendly band, they turned up early and helped to adjust timings and kick off the ceilidh. Given a level of disorganisation on my part this was above what we had asked of them. We had an inexperienced group but they were entertaining when we messed up and made the whole night brilliant from start to end. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants a lively and fun night

This was one of the best ceilidh bands we have ever hired, the caller was fantastic with an inexperienced multinational audience and they really made sure everyone there had a great night - thanks again

One of the highlights of our wedding! Half of our guests were Scottish and half English and we weren’t sure if it would be everyones cup of tea but everyone had so much fun!! We’re still getting people comment on how amazing it was! From the direction of the band leading the dances to how good they were playing! They brought so much joy and laughter and added to our special day!! Many thanks Hannah & Luke

The Jacobites were one of the first suppliers we booked for our big day. We were impressed by the great reviews and their upbeat videos on Instagram. And they surely delivered ! Half of our guests didn't know anything about ceilidhs and we had a broad range of music tastes to deal with, yet the Jacobites played and managed to get everybody dancing all night. All the guests really loved them. The band even threw a conga and a couple lower pace pieces which allowed our older guests to join in as well. The Jacobites really were the highlight of our wedding reception, we could not have picked any better. Very friendly and professional; we would happily book them for another event.

David and the Buchanan Ceilidh Band were brilliant! Friendly, communicative and easy to work with! On the day of our wedding, David brought his bagpipes, played us in to cut cake and was an excellent caller! They were very accommodating and our guests loved the dancing! Thank you!

Ceilidh With Us were amazing! We hired them for a post wedding celebration party and they were everything we wanted them to be. Super helpful in all the contact in the run up to the event and made us feel very relaxed. On the day they could not have been nicer and were super flexible/helpful. The caller for the Ceilidh was excellent - kept our guests very entertained! Thank you so much. I would 100% recommend you to anyone.
