Reviews of Irish / Scottish Entertainment available in Guelph

5/5 from 203 reviews
Photo of Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell "Robert Mitchell was very sensitive to our wish for a softer sound in the church and used the border pipes. He was extremely professional, worked well with the organist and pianist, and provided a lovely Irish touch to my daughter's wedding. Afterwards, he played the bagpipes outside while everyone gathered to greet the new couple with bubbles as they hopped into their limo. In addition, he provided a transition to the reception by playing the bagpipes outside the entrance. We are thankful to Robert and heard many positive comments about him from our guests."

Based in Killarney, Munster, Ireland (3,202 miles from Guelph) 11th August 2026 Jodie Broad - Christening Photo of Asgards Traditional Irish Music Asgards Traditional Irish Music "We couldn’t have been happier with Asgards at my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. They were absolutely fantastic and helped make a very special occasion even more memorable. The music was brilliant, the atmosphere was wonderful, and they kept everyone entertained throughout the night. They were also incredibly accommodating and made sure everything ran smoothly. Alison was a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning: friendly, helpful and so easy to work with. We’re very grateful to the whole band for helping make the celebration such a success. I would highly recommend Asgards to anyone looking for a brilliant band for their event."
