Reviews of Barn Dance Bands available in Washington D.C.

Photo of The Devil's Tailors The Devil's Tailors "The Devil's Tailors were fantastic. They were easy to work with and helped make our wedding event one to remember. They traveled all the way to Arizona from the east coast. I was grateful for their effort and desire to do it at a reasonable price. Everyone loved the bagpipes and the dancing with the fiddle and the piano. They called out the dances while everyone participated and everyone learned how to do them easily. Everyone was anticipating the next number when they could do it again. I definitely recommend using The Devil's Tailors for your next event. If you are thinking about having Scottish dancing at your event, but don't know if it would be fun, I will tell you to book them right now. It is an amazing time. And if you have had Scottish dancing before, The Devil's Tailors will do a wonderful job." Based in Alexandria, Virginia (6 miles from Washington D.C.)

The crowd had a great time and we truly appreciate the energy, entertainment and good vibes you brought to Weyburn tonight. It was a pleasure having you perform at our venue and we look forward to working with you again in the future. Thank you again for a great night! -Detour Bar & Grill" Based in Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada (1,460 miles from Washington D.C.) 10th May 2026 Detour Bar & Grill Weyburn - Food - Bar - Socialize Photo of Colton Brewer Colton Brewer "Words can not describe how impressed we are with the talent Colton Brewer has, backed by being a humble New Brunswicker. Colton’s voice captivated the audience and quickly gained fans with the style and range of music. We’re proud to have had Colton perform at our brewery and welcome him back anytime! Tallyia MacMullin Off-Grid Ales Co-Owner" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (2,356 miles from Washington D.C.) Tallyia MacMullin - Frostival New Brunswick Photo of Annasach Ceilidh Band Annasach Ceilidh Band "The Annasach Ceilidh Band made the evening of our wedding in The Netherlands unforgettable, motivating Dutch and French feet alike to dance the Scottish steps. Even my 62-year-old aunt was on her feet all evening and remarked at the end that from now on, she only wants Scottish weddings. The band also dealt very professionally with some unforeseen circumstances, rebooking their own flights when their original flights were cancelled, taking a lot of stress away from us. I will happily recommend them for any wedding or party in Scotland or abroad, and look forward to visiting one of their Ceilidhs in Edinburgh when we next find ourselves there!" Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom (3,461 miles from Washington D.C.) Barbara - Wedding Photo of Whiskey & Shades Country Band Whiskey & Shades Country Band "Whiskey & Shades were fantastic at the Little Country Fest! Great country vibes, brilliant music, and an amazing atmosphere. They really got the crowd going and made it a memorable festival. Definitely a band worth seeing live!"
