The Dancing Ceilidh Trio were the best decision for our Wedding Reception!
Ross H booked The Dancing Ceilidh Trio for their wedding in North Yorkshire • October 2025
“We booked the Dancing Ceilidh Trio for our Wedding reception and it was hands down the best decision. Garry was fantastic on the run up, being very helpful and responding to any questions we had, and the night of the Wedding was beyond words. All of our guests absolutely loved it and kept commenting on how it was one of the most enjoyable Weddings they’ve been to. We were all shattered afterwards,...”
Julie M booked The Dancing Ceilidh Trio for their party in East Ayrshire • August 2025

Great way to get people on the dancefloor
Rachel D booked Gypsy Rogues for their wedding in Derbyshire • August 2025
“The Gypsy Rogues were great, they made sure to read the room when doing the dances, we would have breaks in-between which allowed guests to take a breather. Sarah was great as the person who was telling us what to do if we got stuck with the dances. A Ceilidh is a brilliant way to add something a bit different to your wedding, so if you are unsure I would say go for it! Your guests will lov...”

Diane L booked Gypsy Rogues for their party in Manchester • August 2025
“Nice folk, very pleasant, and just "got on with it", they were exactly what I had wanted, I wasn't sure at 1st but then realised they were just tuning up. Of course we were busy greeting guests , but saw within a very short time the dance floor had folk already up, now to me that's a great band, how many occasions do you attend and nobody moves, well this band had folk on the floor all night, the...”
You, and the band really made my party.
Beth H booked Rakish Paddy for their party • August 2025
“You, and the band really made my party. Thank you so much for bringing such good vibes and great talent to the evening. It was a pleasure dealing with you from start to finish. All my guests commented on how good Rakish Paddy was - and I was particularly delighted to see how enthusiastically, and quickly, they got into the singing. There was even an attempt at dancing (by, I have to let you know, ...”
A fantastic band for a wedding
Harley C booked Last Dram for their wedding in Angus • July 2025
“Alastair was a great caller and had all the time for our overseas guests that had never seen a ceilidh before. The band was amazing and we had so many guests come up to us afterwards with compliments about them.”
Such a high energy, friendly ceilidh performance
Joshua L booked Sandpiper for their wedding in North Yorkshire • July 2025
“I couldn't think of a better way to get our guests over their food stupor than Sandpiper. They hit the first song with such high energy and kept it going for 2 hours. Patient with our less coordinated guests and charming throughout. The pictures from this section of the wedding are epic.”
