North East Soiree

Gordon and the team delivered excellent service for our wedding at Beamish Hall Hotel, nothing was too much trouble (we changed our Venues part way through and there were no issues), they offered advice about the type of packages and when we enquired about having music during our wedding breakfast Gordon was very honest and advised, as a result of past experiences, that he felt the string quartet wouldn't add value in the room. We really appreciate the honesty, especially when it meant they were losing out on potential money! Our guests had nothing but praise for them the whole day, they really were brilliant!

North East Soiree are absolutely incredible. We had an outdoor ceremony & they sounded amazing, they really helped create a romantic setting & we had so many compliments. Fantastic! They made my ceremony so special, I could have listened to them play all day

Beautiful music. Good repertoire so we could have a wide range of music. Set up in a discreet area so did not take up lots of room. Played for a good amount of time. Very good value for money. Great that they recorded themselves so there is a record of our music. Thank you so much North East Soiree

North East Soiree were fantastic all the way from our initial booking, right to the day of our wedding. Nothing was too much for them and the quality of the music they played was top class. They have a great repertoire, which they keep up to date and current, but were also happy to learn any new/ different songs that didn't appear on their lists! Brilliant customer service, a very reasonable price and top quality musicians!

The guys provided a great Ceilidh that was thoroughly enjoyed by our guests, most of which had never tried a ceilidh before. Still a talking point today and would definitely recommend.

Very responsive to enquiries, reasonably priced, reliable and great on the day!

Played longer than was paid for and moved around the venue to multiple spots according to weather and what we wanted to achieve on the day. Very professional and exactly what I wanted!!

It was super flexible, the music was awesome, they were good at what they did, they were discreet when they were setting up, they got everybody up and dancing all night.

As a Scottish woman living in the North East, I couldn't have imagined getting married without a ceilidh. Yet I was also conscious that more than half our guests were unlikely to have ever 'stripped a willow'. The band were professional, talented, engaging and incredibly patient when teaching the steps. They were also great at judging the crowd (and their stamina) and allowed helpful interludes of DJ music whilst people recovered. This meant that their time performing lasted a lot longer than would usually be expected, but the band were incredibly accommodating. They were also great in the run up to the big day and really responsive over email. They set up during our meal and were so discreet. Our guests loved the evening, both those who had been to plenty a ceilidh and all the first timers. Right after our first dance, when the band started playing was exactly the moment that both my husband and I really relaxed into our wedding and we never stopped smiling or sat down from that point onward.

We were absolutely set on having a Ceilidh for our wedding even though neither of us had been to one before. Gordon was fantastic at getting the necessarily information to us, as well as offering a fantastic price for not only the Ceilidh but their presence as a DJ for the rest of the night. Communication was easy right up to the event, and I felt I knew exactly what to expect. He made sure to guide us through what was required and send reference for our first dance and we had an amazingly fun time on the night. It's hard work getting people to the dance floor (especially to do something new and different) but Gordon managed to get my family and friends to join us and it made the evening very special for myself and my husband. Thank you to North East Soiree!!
