FAQ's
What is a ceilidh band and how does it work at a wedding?
A ceilidh band plays live traditional Scottish dance music, usually fiddle, accordion and drums, while a caller talks guests through the steps before each dance. It's designed to get every guest dancing, regardless of experience.
Do I need a ceilidh caller as well as a ceilidh band?
Almost all ceilidh bands include a caller as part of the booking, since the dances are called live throughout the evening. It's still worth checking this is included when you enquire, rather than assuming.
How do I hire a bagpiper for a wedding in Scotland?
Bagpipers are usually booked separately from your evening band, for the ceremony, drinks reception or to lead guests between venues. Book directly through a supplier profile on Bridebook, and confirm timings and location in advance.
Are wedding bands in Scotland more expensive than in England?
Not consistently. Prices are driven more by act type, group size, season and demand than by being in Scotland specifically, though city bookings in Edinburgh and Glasgow can cost more than rural venues.
What is the difference between a ceilidh and a barn dance?
Both involve live music and called group dances, but a ceilidh is specifically rooted in Scottish (and Irish) tradition, with its own set of dances and tunes. "Barn dance" is more commonly used south of the border and can involve a broader mix of folk and country-style music.
