I appreciate you being so flexible during the unpredictable weather and delivering such a spectacular and memorable performance. I have had so many wedding guests rave about how incredible the band was and how they danced all night long. Many thanks again and warm wishes as you all head into what I'm sure will be another fabulous wedding season!" Based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain (892 miles from Smolenice) 21st March 2026 Amelia - Wedding at Mas Santos (Barcelona) Photo of Oscar Tabor - Socially distanced concerts Oscar Tabor - Socially distanced concerts "I asked Oscar and his brother Barney to record a cover of my mums favourite song for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! It was a beautiful and very personal gift at a time when I couldn't be with her in person. Thank you both!" Based in Bristol, England, United Kingdom (910 miles from Smolenice) Anna Giles - Birthday Party Photo of Iron Broo Ceilidh Band Iron Broo Ceilidh Band "A Perfect Wedding Band! When I proposed to my now wife back in 2017, I was adamant that we would have a great ceilidh band for the wedding, showing my new Hungarian family a true taste of Scottish culture whilst having a great time. When I saw the advert for Iron Broo and how they were ranked one of the top ceilidh bands in the area I was sceptical at first having never heard them play. Then I was invited to a wedding that they played 4 months prior to my own: after hearing their 3 piece I knew my wedding would be in safe hands! All through the buildup to the day Charlie was a great help, using his knowledge and experience to advise how to run the evening - he even transcribed a bagpipe tune for my great grandfather to play on the night! On the day, the band were outstanding! Despite a small wedding the band with their charm and wit managed to get people up to dance and put on a tremendous show! The personal touches were carefully noted as the Orcadian Strip the Willow’s music was even tailored to incorporate Hungarian folk music that put a big smile on the new in-laws faces! I could not recommend Iron Broo more to play at any function, they really are what they advertise and will now need to create an event just to have them back! Forever grateful. Mr and Mrs Borthwick." Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom (1,005 miles from Smolenice) 26th September 2026 Fraser Borthwick - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for ceilidh bands ranges from €200 to €1,300+, with an average of €600. Rates depend on the number of musicians, performance length and whether the band provides a caller to guide dancers through the steps. Most ceilidh bands include a caller as standard, but it is worth confirming when comparing options.

A ceilidh is a traditional social gathering featuring folk music and group dancing. The ceilidh bands for hire provide lively folk music and typically include a caller who guides guests through each dance. No prior dance experience is needed, as the caller explains every step before the music begins.

Events that commonly feature ceilidh bands include weddings, Burns Night celebrations, birthday parties, corporate team-building events and festivals. Ceilidh dancing is inclusive and energetic, making it an excellent way to get all guests involved regardless of age or dancing ability.

Most ceilidh bands need a clear dance floor area large enough for guests to form lines, circles and sets. A space of around 10 by 10 metres works well for most group sizes. The band itself needs a small stage or performance area at one end. It is worth discussing space requirements based on your expected guest numbers.
