“We were so lucky to have Tartanistas play our wedding at Achnagairn on 22nd March. Alan, Rachel and Rory were very helpful in the run up to the big day and of course on the day itself. The dance floor was packed all night and they were brilliant at explaining the dances to guests who hadn’t been to a ceilidh before and knowing when to play a cover when people needed a bit of a rest.

The dance floor was packed all night and they were brilliant at explaining the dances to guests who hadn’t been to a ceilidh before and knowing when to play a cover when people needed a bit of a rest. I had a few requests that I asked them to include in the night and they were more than willing to do so. Anyone who is considering booking them for their wedding - do it!! Thank you again guys ??” Read more

“Having scoured the internet for ceilidh bands in the north of Scotland, Tartanistas were by far the best I had been able to find. I was beyond delighted when they were available on our wedding day. As avid fans of ceilidhs, finding the right band was very important for us. They did not disappoint, they were absolutely fantastic and had everyone up on the dance floor enjoying themselves (at ti...”“Having scoured the internet for ceilidh bands in the north of Scotland, Tartanistas were by far the best I had been able to find. I was beyond delighted when they were available on our wedding day. As avid fans of ceilidhs, finding the right band was very important for us. They did not disappoint, they were absolutely fantastic and had everyone up on the dance floor enjoying themselves (at times perhaps too much). We had guests from overseas who had never been to a ceilidh before and they all had an amazing time. Not to mention that they are all lovely people and were a delight to meet in person! Thanks guys for an awesome night! ” Read more

“Tartanistas played at our wedding 16th Feb 2025 and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough! From first contact Alan was helpful & courteous, we knew we were in safe hands. We got married at Eilean Donan Castle and had our reception at Duisdale House Hotel on the Isle of Skye, being English most of our guests (including ourselves!) were not really familiar with Ceilidh music but th...”“Tartanistas played at our wedding 16th Feb 2025 and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough! From first contact Alan was helpful & courteous, we knew we were in safe hands. We got married at Eilean Donan Castle and had our reception at Duisdale House Hotel on the Isle of Skye, being English most of our guests (including ourselves!) were not really familiar with Ceilidh music but that didn’t matter - it was so much fun and the dance floor was full all night! They even played the music for musical statues and musical chairs to keep the kids (and their grownups ??) entertained for a while! It was so much fun. Great music and great people - thank you for making our wedding even more memorable ?? Steph & Dan” Read more

Helen W booked Ceilidh Cool for their party

“You were AMAZING!! Everything about you and your team was awesome. You made me feel so comfortable in communications beforehand and I wasn’t worried about a thing as a result. And I was right not to worry, as it was perfect from start to finish. The music and the 'calling' were the best I have ever come across. And the piper too was brilliant. I seriously couldn’t recommend you enough!...”“You were AMAZING!! Everything about you and your team was awesome.

Rebecca N booked The Manchester Ceilidh Trio for their wedding in Lancashire

“We booked the tartan trio for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic. Everyone was dancing and the large room was totally filled! Even the “super cool” teenagers, who had previously said they would never dance, joined in for every song. The caller Richard and his band were excellent. Really clear instructions for the merry party goers, and he included a slower number so that my 86 yo g...”“We booked the tartan trio for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic.

The caller Richard and his band were excellent. Really clear instructions for the merry party goers, and he included a slower number so that my 86 yo grandma could join in. We had amazing feedback from all who attended. Thank you for making our wedding evening so special.” Read more
