How does the Ceilidh and DJ combination work?
Although we can alter timings to suit the crowd on the night this is the general template we find to work best and tend to stick with most of the time:
- First dance/dances: DJ
- The ceilidh band will play until the break/buffet (which is usually between 60 & 80 minutes)
- DJ will play background music during the break/buffet
- DJ set / Disco
- In the final 45 minutes the band will come back on for a high energy ceilidh finale which will end with all of the guests on the floor for The Orcadian Strip The Willow
- DJ – Loch Lomond
- Band – play a rocked up version of Auld Lang Sine
Our DJ & musicians will all stay until the end of the evening. If you want more ceilidh/less DJ or more DJ/less ceilidh, just come up and let us know. Please make sure that we are given enough notice to plan out our schedule so that we are able to bring everything to a good finale at the correct time.

Wedding Ceilidh – Kingshouse Hotel, Glencoe, 5th Nov 2022
I cannot recommend this band enough, they were totally above expectations. Friendly, funny on the mic, brilliant musicians, passionate about ceilidhing and they were hands down the highlight of my Wedding Day. Their interesting style makes it for a brilliant Ceilidh, taken to a new level. Our guests loved the brief pop/rock music interludes between dances, and truly think no ceilidh band is complete without an accordion. Book them now, you won’t regret it! Rosie Findlay
Wedding Ceilidh – Beamish Hall, 22nd Oct 2022
The band were brilliant at my wedding – the ceilidh set was perfect and the caller was great at taking everyone through the steps – great for beginners. Really easy to communicate with the band in the run up to the wedding, and they were really helpful making sure everything was organised. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a modern and fun ceilidh band for a wedding. Adam

Wedding Ceilidh – Errol Park, 24th Sep 2022
Norman and all the Ceilidh Experience players were amazing! I have worked with them a few times before (as an Event manager) and they never disappoint, so was delighted when they could play at our wedding. Great to deal with from booking, planning and a amazing ceilidh on the night! Thank you!
