Good to know
Your questions, answered.
The things people ask most before booking. If yours isn't here, just ask — Garry would rather answer it now than have you wondering.
Will first-timers manage the dances?
Absolutely. Garry calls every dance clearly and warmly, so even complete beginners are up and dancing within minutes. No experience needed.
Do you provide a DJ as well as the band?
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.
Can you cover the whole wedding day, not just the evening?
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.
Do you do parties and corporate events as well as weddings?
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.
Can you do our first dance and take requests?
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.
How far do you travel?
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.
Are peak dates like Hogmanay priced differently?
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.
What space and power do you need?
Roughly a 3m × 3m area for the band plus a couple of standard sockets. We’ll talk through your venue’s setup when you book.
How do we secure our date?
Pick your date and we’ll confirm availability within hours. Garry then gives you a call to talk everything through. 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.
Is your equipment safety-tested?
Yes, all of our equipment is PAT-tested every year, and we can provide the paperwork for your venue on request.
