Weddings

The Scottish Ceilidh Band have extensive experience performing at wedding evening receptions providing a wide range of quality music that appeals to all ages and creates an inclusive intimate party atmosphere which brings family and friends together.

We regard the role of our caller as very important to engage with the audience in a warm and personal manner when calling the dances. It goes without saying that any private party or wedding is a personal and special event for those involved and The Scottish Ceilidh Band always regard it as a privilege to be asked to provide entertainment.

We regard it of the utmost importance to engage with the audience combining quality musicianship with an intimate and warm approach to make it a fun night where the audience are the stars of the show!

The following formats for the evening are a popular choice:

• A single ceilidh dance set from 8-10pm before buffet served followed by a DJ set until midnight.
  This is a popular choice for those who want a mix of traditional ceilidh for guests young and old in the early part of the evening and contemporary late night dancing for the younger party animals!

• A two set performance between 8 and 12pm with a buffet served in between at the break. This is a popular choice for those who don't fancy the idea of a DJ, prefer a 'live' band performing a mix of dance and songs all evening and with added option to play the bride and groom's choice of music through our sound system via iPod etc during the break.

Whatever your choice we are more than happy to fit in with your preferred format for the day and we would be delighted to provide any advice you may require when planning your wedding evening reception.
