"Everyone really enjoyed Kenny’s musical talents. He had the right mix of music for our crowd, it was loud enough to be enjoyed while we could still carry on conversations with our neighbors. He was extremely easy to work with, and very accommodating of all of our needs. He responded very quickly, showed up on time, and did a great job. We would definitely hire him again. ~Cindy B."

"Carla, Dino, Guglielmo, and Angelo of Barbera & Champagne performed at my wedding in June 2025, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the very beginning, communication and coordination with Carla was seamless. She was warm, responsive, and incredibly professional. Her voice is absolutely stunning, and the entire quartet brought such vibrant energy to the celebration. Their performance of romantic classics in English, Italian, Spanish, and French added an elegant, heartfelt touch that made our wedding feel like a dream. So many of our guests commented on how unforgettable the music was. Grazie mille to Barbera & Champagne for making our special day even more memorable!"

Thank you so much Nicole for having us at your wedding and for your very kind words about our performance! We had a great time too, the medieval Abbey was incredibly fascinating and everything in the place expressed a positive energy. Our best wishes to you and your husband!

"The band's performance at our wedding was nothing short of magical! Their ability to blend romantic tunes during our ceremony with high-energetic songs at the reception kept everyone on their feet well into the night. We couldn't have asked for a better musical experience."

"We wanted to say a massive thank you for the Brogues’ amazing music and entertainment at our wedding - we had a fantastic night! We particularly loved the ceilidh but it was all so brilliant. Thank you for incorporating the afrobeats tunes into the disco too - it definitely kept the (very warm) dance floor full and the party in full swing! We had so many compliments from guests on how great you all were and so many people who had never done ceilidh dancing before found that you made it so easy for them with the calling etc. We loved partying with you and think you are all great at what you do!"

"We just wanted to pass on a huge thank you to you guys for such an amazing ceilidh that you put on for us on Saturday. We had an amazing night and we were just reflecting today on how the strip the willow might have been in our top 3 moments of the wedding - we had so much fun, everyone else was having fun and that was the moment we got to look around and realise how perfectly the day had gone. And I am sure I mentioned on the night that Wallace and Gromit was such a perfect song to play during the Gay Gordon’s - that show means more to us than you would ever have known when you played it!"

"Annasach played for our wedding in June 2018 near Livingston, where most of the guests were not regular ceilidh goers but almost all got up to give it a go! Thanks to the team for the rousing tunes and good calling, which made even the novices feel that they could join in the fun. We loved Auld Lang Syne at the end too - a brilliant end to our special day. Annasach were easy to deal with and professional from the beginning, we would definitely recommend them to others looking for a ceilidh band for their event. We look forward to attending one of their public ceilidhs again soon!"

"Amazing and wonderful band! Peter headlines a great group of guys that know their stuff. I’ve used them for many years at the festival and they never disappoint me. Synthesi is a crowd pleaser every year! I would never hesitate to hire them for any event, just do it early before they book up your date! "

"Massive thanks to Trad Union for turning my 40th into the ultimate garden shindig! From soul-stirring ballads to full-blown céilí vibes, these two legends had everyone dancing like nobody’s knees would regret it the next day. Their music brought the magic, their banter brought the laughs, and their charm made the whole evening feel effortlessly special. Honestly, if you're planning a party and want things to escalate from “quiet drinks” to “Riverdance tryouts,” Trad Union are your lads. 🎻💚🕺"
