Looking for wedding entertainment that’s fun, inclusive and guaranteed to fill the dancefloor? We combine high energy live music with infectious enthusiasm that will get your party started!
What’s a ceilidh we hear you cry?! Ceilidh (sounds like “kay-lee”) is a Scottish Gaelic word, which roughly translates as a party with live music and dancing. If you remember Jack and Rose dancing the night away below decks on the Titanic then you’re getting the right idea! “It’s like when you’re a kid just skipping around with your friends and having fun. You don’t really get to do that as an adult, but at a ceilidh you can because everyone else is doing it too!” We’re experts at getting people dancing and laughing together. On the day we’ll take your guests through the steps of our favourite beginner-friendly dances – so there’s no worries about not knowing what to do.
We’re also passionate about inclusion and accessibility. We use LGBT+ friendly dance instructions and can adapt the dancing to include guests of all ages and with different access requirements.
Unique Wedding Entertainment: Inclusive Ceilidhs That Get Everyone Dancing
Here’s some more nice things that people have said about our events...
“Even the most reluctant dancer couldn’t resist joining in. The caller was clear and encouraging and the musicians played beautifully.” – Ruth
“Once we were dancing, the fun is so consuming, you literally don't think about anything else except dancing with the other people there. Everyone was smiling and thoroughly enjoying themselves, the band sounded amazing and it was a great experience.” – Amy
“Love that all the dancing was non-gendered and I know I had queer and non-binary friends at the party who enjoyed it much more because of that.” – Cath
We’re looking for nearly-weds who…
• Want to get everyone involved and having fun together at their celebration
• Value having a unique experience to remember over doing what’s expected
• Care about inclusion and accessibility
• Don’t want a stuffy traditional approach
Lisa (our dance leader) and Nat (our band leader) have run ceilidhs and barn dances for hundreds of weddings between them, so you can rely on us to provide a professional and stress-free experience.
• We bring our own high-quality PA system, lighting rig and backdrop
• Our standard offer is two 1 hour sets with a 30min break
• We can also stay for up to 2hrs after the ceilidh so you can use our PA and lights for your own DIY disco (£100 additional charge)
• We’ll coordinate with you and your venue in advance to make sure everything goes smoothly on the day.
• We’ll even chat with your photographer to make sure they can get the best shots (trust us, ceilidhs are great photo opportunities)!
