“We picked Tartanistas not long after we got engaged as we had heard them in the Highlander and I am so glad we did! What a job they did on our wedding, they played as a duo then the band played at night and all our guests keep saying how good they were. They were fantastic on the day and we can’t thank them enough .”


Many thanks for a superb evening of music and dancing.

Also the videogame and movie themes in the breaks was such a nice surprise, especially considering we hadn't requested them. They fit the vibe of our wedding perfectly.
