Testimonials

WeddingWe had been in contact with Mary, the band leader, via e-mail and met with her once in person prior to the wedding to discuss the plans for the evening, which was great. Mary is so lovely and every time I had been in contact with her nothing was a bother, she was always extremely helpful and open to what we wanted for our special day. The band played amazingly well on the night and they were also very patient with us and our guests, many of whom were attending their first ceilidh, so having the band act as caller in addition to playing was ideal! The music was fantastic and their presence at our wedding helped contribute to a day that we will never forget. We would definitely recommend the Band to anyone after them being so wonderful on our wedding day.
