Photo of Premier Bagpiper for Hire Premier Bagpiper for Hire "Happy to have hired Michael for to pipe my new bride into the venue and up the aisle, it was a surprise for herself and she absolutely loved it as did the guests . A must for a wedding in my opinion , absolutely fantastic singer piper. Thanks again." 2nd October 2025 Graham mcgougan - Wedding Photo of DJ Greg DJ Greg "Had Greg come up and MC and DJ our small wedding in Glencoe this month and he didn’t disappoint. Not even the floods that brought the country to its knees could stop him getting there! The background tunes throughout the day were on point with our laid back vibe but when it came time to party he brought the energy we were chasing, it’s why we wanted him in the first place! He called a perfect little ceilidh for us and had the dance floor full all night with banger after banger, helping show the Aussie half that the Scot’s know how to party 🤙🏻 Chatting away to the guests, venue staff and other vendors throughout he fitted in perfect as part of our day. He turns up, sets up and does his thing, taking the pressure off us with one less thing to worry about. Would definitely recommend 👍🏻" 11th February 2026 Kane - Wedding Photo of The Irish Wedding Trad Trio The Irish Wedding Trad Trio "Your music really set the tone for the day as music was a really important part of it for both of us and it set the perfect vibe as our guests arrived into the venue and started the party! The mix of traditional, folk and current tunes catered for the whole guest list and gave our visiting guests a little taste of Ireland at the same time. We would recommend you wholeheartedly on any bride or groom who wants to entertain their friends and family. Rachel and Stephen Gallagher (Jan 2026)" 11th March 2026 Stephen Gallagher - Wedding Photo of Harp - Amelia Tokarska Harp - Amelia Tokarska "Amelia delivered a truly stunning performance at our wedding reception. The harp music created an elegant and emotional atmosphere that our guests are still talking about. She was professional, punctual, and very accommodating with our song requests. Her talent and presence added something genuinely special to the day. I would highly recommend Amelia Tokarska for any event where you want beautiful live music and a memorable experience." 25th May 2026 Martin Novák - Wedding Reception Photo of Jennyandthekelts Jennyandthekelts "A devilish rhythm, a galloping melody and a captivating voice" 15th July 2026 Denis Popper music mag - Pop celtic contemporary artist Photo of Triskelt 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" 15th September 2026 Janna & Sidène - Private Wedding
