5/5 from 270 reviews

Flamenco, World Music & more "Exactly what we had requested and provided pleasant background music. Lovely Spanish acoustic music ." Based in Gothenburg, Västra Götaland County, Sweden (411 miles from Turku) Sarah Grech - ESPC

Adar Alfandari "Adar played in my wedding ceremony, and I couldn't ask for a better job. We asked a specific song for our ceremony, 'I wanna be yours' by Arctic Monkeys, and Adar made a special version of it and even produced a stunning backing audio to go with his live performance in our event. It was very special and artistic and we got so many compliments." Based in Berlin, Germany (642 miles from Turku) Bar & Ofri - Wedding

Fanfara Rézeleje (Rézeleje Fanfárosok) "Rézeleje Fanfárosok created a fantastic atmosphere for us, engaging both young people and adults in dancing alike. We can only recommend them!" Translated from Hungarian Based in Budapest, Hungary (904 miles from Turku) Kaptár Ifjúsági Klub - Kaptár napok - táncház

Triskelt "It was such an absolute pleasure to have you all be such an amazing part of our special day. The guests loved you (and so do we, still). You've been amazing from start to finish, from planning to the big day itself! We highly recommend Triskelt! 10/10" Based in Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium (936 miles from Turku) 15th September 2026 Janna & Sidène - Private Wedding

Mike & Tenzen - Acoustic shamanic folk "Mike & Tenzen are able to make their instruments come to life and tell stories of their own. They have a diverse registry, varying from shamanic music with the didgeridoo being played, or their folk songs where they both sing." Based in Brussels, Brussels Capital, Belgium (958 miles from Turku) Livio - Maison du Quartier Ambiorix

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 (971 miles from Turku) Barbara - Wedding
