Good to Know

Your questions, answered

The things people usually ask before they book. Anything else, just ask.

Absolutely. Garry calls every dance clearly and warmly, so even complete beginners are up and dancing within minutes. No experience needed.

Yes, every package includes a full DJ service alongside the live ceilidh, so there’s music from the first guest to the last. No need to book a DJ separately.

Yes. The Wedding DJ package runs from your guests arriving through the ceremony, drinks reception, meal and speeches, includes hosting the cake cutting, and then carries on through the first dance and up to four hours of evening music. Extra hours can be arranged.

Plenty of them. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, retirements and leaving dos, plus office parties, conferences, Christmas nights out, gala days and student events. Tell us what the night is and we’ll suggest what suits.

Yes to both. We’ll happily learn your first dance, and we welcome a request list for the DJ sets, we read the room all night long.

All across Scotland and into northern England. Travel is free within 100 miles of Perth. Further afield, we add a fair contribution for the band’s mileage, travel time and any overnight stay, always clearly quoted up front, with no surprises.

High-demand dates, Hogmanay, the festive season, Burns Night and bank-holiday weekends, book up early and are priced accordingly. Check your date as soon as you can to secure it.

Once you’re both happy he emails you a booking agreement to read and sign, and the deposit invoice follows straight after. Your date is held as soon as that’s paid, and the deposit comes off your final total.

Yes, all of our equipment is PAT-tested every year, and we can provide the paperwork for your venue on request.
