A Ceilidh is a Great Icebreakers

Ceilidh’s get everyone talking and are guaranteed to get everyone dancing. You don’t need to worry about the DJs dodgy choice of tunes and an empty dancefloor.

Everyone loves a Ceilidh!

We always hear excited comments from guests when we arrive and they realise there’s a ceilidh planned. A ceilidh is much more fun than a disco!

A Ceilidh is a Highly Memorable Alternative to a Disco

At the end of the evening, your guests will have do-si-do’ed, galloped and stripped-the-willow. They will probably have swung their partner too. And even your dancefloor-shy guests will love watching the activity on the dancefloor.

Ceilidh’s Make Great Photos

Photographers always love to see a ceilidh band as they make for great photo opportunities.

Ceilidh’s Work off the Food and Drink

We all over indulge at parties. A ceilidh is a great way to burn off some of that over indulgence! Dance all night and leave the venue guiltfree
