In a Nutshell
Do you want the evening hosted professionally? So you don’t have to think about it and therefore relax and enjoy the night.
I host the whole evening for you. That means Calling the Ceilidh dances and MC’ing your evening to make sure you can relax properly and enjoy yourselves- after all; it is your party!
The Ceilidhs I run are traditional Scottish ones- that means the dances are fast-paced, social and inclusive. Great for all your guests.

That involves getting all your guests together for the first dance, then keeping them on the dancefloor for the Ceilidh. If you are serving some food halfway through the evening, I will be checking with the caterers that it’s ready when it should be so I can finish the first half of the Ceilidh appropriately.
If you’re throwing your bouquet, having sparklers, fireworks or fire eater towards the end? I’ll make sure the evening flows seamlessly.
Will you be staying or leaving early, when do you want that all critical Auld lang Syne?
So I support all of that as well as calling the dances.
My starting package begins from £375, which is my solo Ceilidh DJ set, this is my most popular package.
In this package, I use recorded music, and it includes the option of a disco/playlist towards the end of the evening.
This package is excellent where space is tight, or you don’t want the mess of a whole band set up.
You will love my one-person act where I lead the Ceilidh and host the evening for you; it is just as much fun as a live band. Your guests will love it, friends will rave about it afterwards, and everyone will join in the dancing!
Why do you want to work with same-sex couples?
One of the things I love about ceilidhs is how inclusive they are. It doesn't matter who you dance with, and there are a few dances that you get to dance with everyone in the room. You don't need to worry about what your doing, going the right way or fret about everyone watching what you're doing. If only life, in general, was more like a ceilidh!

What is your creative approach to weddings?
Calling is a fancy name for directing the dancing. As the Caller, I'm the person who does this.
Most of your guests will never have been to a Ceilidh before, so I guide them through what to do- left, right, hop, floss,. That sort of thing which means your guests don't have to remember all the moves.

Half the fun of Ceilidh dancing is making mistakes, nobody feels self-conscious about not knowing it- and there is no pressure to get it right. Mistakes are actively encouraged. It's also a very inclusive form of entertainment.
What do you love about what you do?
Why I do these ceilidhs, why I've kept at it during this tough year.,¨
I get so annoyed when I read "dancing should not be allowed". What does that should entail?
?
There is a trend for uniqueness across the wedding industry, with couples looking for something out of the norm. Something that will engage their guests and give them something else to remember about the big day- those precious memories that we all want.
?
On my website, I've deliberately gone with not having pages for folk to read about what a ceilidh is. There are 100's of these on the intranet- I'm aiming at those who have a vague idea or those that don't want a run of the mill disco/DJ and want to know more.
,e
I host ceilidhs for all types of events including weddings but also parties, corporate events/entertainment and workshops such as Diversity & Inclusion.
?
All my ceilidhs are individually tailored to suit the events requirements and all the dances are called- that means guiding guests around the moves. You (they) don't need to know what to do and that means ceilidhs are great for all age groups and nobody needs any prior experience to join in.
What is your favourite wedding song?
I've an 8 hour playlist of wedding songs, they are all my favourites
What is your favourite wedding reading?
There are some fantastic reading, I love one that thread trough the couple getting marrieds lives. I love handfasting readings.
What is your travel policy?

Yes, I'm based in the East Midlands so that means any additional charge will be included in your final quote.
My DJ Ceilidh package starts from £375, with a live band from £950.
