5 stars - Reels On Wheels are Highly Recommended
booked Reels On Wheels for their Wedding in Hertfordshire

“Booked Reels On Wheels to play as part of our wedding reception as I am half Scottish. Played a good variety of ceilidh songs and were able to do some ‘calling’ before each one so that those not familiar with Ceilidh dancing could join in. Very well received and many guests impressed and talking about how much they enjoyed that part!”


Great fun, caller was funny and kept people engaged.

“I would highly recommend this band, they entertained us at our daughter’s 40th birthday party in February, they talked us through all the dances, some of which we had never heard of but thoroughly enjoyed. The floor was never empty, even the children joined in and had fun learning to dance. Excellent value for money too.”
