Hessle Ceilidh Band Full Description
A Ceilidh is a great way to celebrate a Wedding – it brings people together, young and old, and it is a great way to make a wedding reception a memorable and fun occasion – we can compere your event and even play special tunes‘Here Comes the Bride’.
Why choose a Ceilidh for your wedding? – Well firstly it’s really good clean energetic fun with a broad appeal to all ages and more importantly the nature of a Ceilidh makes friends of strangers and is a great ice breaker!
Once you’ve booked the band and explained the arrangements for the day, mentioning any special announcements or musical moments that you want us to create, you can relax knowing that we can provide provide the perfect entertainment for your special occasion.
