5 stars - Sandpiper are Highly Recommended
booked Sandpiper for their Wedding in North Yorkshire July 2025

booked Cahoot Ceilidh Band for their Wedding in West Yorkshire July 2025

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Cahoot Ceilidh Band play at our wedding, and we truly can’t recommend them highly enough. Due to our photos running a bit late, the band had to delay their start, but they were incredibly patient, kind, and professional throughout.

Sefton Park Wedding

5 stars - The Manchester Ceilidh Trio are Highly Recommended
booked The Manchester Ceilidh Trio for their Wedding in Merseyside May 2025

“The Ceilidh Trio were such a fantastic way to start our wedding evening.
