Sophie booked Tartanistas for their wedding • July 2026
“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.

The band members and caller...” Read more

Amanda booked Tartanistas for their wedding • May 2026
“Tartanistas were such a blast to have perform at our welcome party prior to our wedding day! They kept the vibes upbeat and were very interactive, especially when teaching a very large party a ceilidh dance. They really were the highlight of the party! I highly recommend Tartanistas for any event entertainment.”
