Wedding Ceilidh fun and laughter

4 stars - Gypsy Rogues are Highly Recommended
booked Gypsy Rogues for their Wedding in Leicestershire

“Gypsy Rogues played for our wedding and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a Ceilidh. We had lots of guests who had not experienced a Ceilidh before and they guided everyone through the dances step by step. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and fun nature of the Ceilidh. The band were also thankfully very flexible with timings on the evening. Catherine and Oliver”

5 stars - Sandpiper are Highly Recommended
booked Sandpiper for their Wedding

“What can I say about this band. It was the perfect way to end our perfect wedding day. Those who wanted to dance, danced. Those usually too cool to dance, danced and those unable to dance, hindered by frailty or alcohol tapped their fingers and stamped their feet – everyone enjoyed themselves and everyone remarked on how good Sandpiper were. What the crowds weren’t aware of though was ...”

booked Scatter The Mud for their event in Hampshire

Our guests had an amazing time, and by the end, everyone was dancing

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

“Amazing!!! The band was superb. The songs were performed to the highest standard, and they were FUN. Our guests had an amazing time, and by the end, everyone was dancing. At one point, the band even called a miniature impromptu ceilidh dance: we don't know who initiated this, but it was a fantastic read of the crowd, who adored it. Again, we received so many compliments on the band.”


A huge hit with us and all our guests
