"The Irish Violinist was absolutely amazing at our wedding, she played beautifully. We had many guests say how lovely her music was and she did perfectly with the songs we wanted and keeping the relaxed and elegant atmosphere through out the whole time she was there. My now father in law even asked for her contact information she was that lovely 😊 "

"Thank you Ceilidh With Us for the brilliant st. Paddy's day performance at our club. Lively, upbeat, just what we were hoping for. I would recommend you for anyone in search of a Ceilidh band. Best of luck out there! John, Maria & the team."

"Please can you pass my compliments on to the band for the wonderful job they did on Saturday last. Our guests have been absolutely raving about them! They were so good in fact I think they tired most of us out after 3 dances!! We both really appreciate how organised, friendly and accommodating the band were and would not hesitate at all about recommending them to our family and friends. They really made our day so special, our first dance is one I’ll always remember and the smiles on people’s faces as they had fun dancing “The Siege of Ennis”! Thank you once again."

"We had a great time ably assisted by the music and calling of the Black Velvet Ceilidh Band. Thank you so much! The band were very adaptable, as we changed the arrangement for the sets on the night, and reassured that they were there to entertain - which they certainly did. They got people up dancing from the first note to the last and many, many guests have commented how much they enjoyed the ceilidh."

"I just wanted to say thank you so very much for the brilliant ceilidh at our wedding! The music was fantastic but also the calling was top notch and I was amazed at how you managed to wrangle some very confused guests into sort of dancers by the end! Haha! Everyone had a brilliant time and we are so grateful."

"Very many thanks for your excellent playing on Saturday night. Everyone appreciated it and it made sure we all enjoying the evening. Thank you too for the CDs. I will have my first taste of listening this evening on a long drive I need to do – it will be good to be transported into that marvellous music. Please pass on our thanks to the other band members – but it was your fiddling that made all the difference. "

"Thank you so much for making our Burns night event so wonderful, the music was second to none and everyone enjoyed the dancing and you did amazingly well given the limited space. I couldn’t recommend you highly enough to anyone thinking of using you in the future and you totally made the event. We could not have done it without you!"

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Judy and Jenny’s 80th Birthday Ceilidh – February 2026 We hired Black Velvet Band to play for our joint 80th birthday celebration at our local golf club. We had a big range of age groups present, and the band and the caller seemed to hit the right spot to get the whole party going! Everyone present thoroughly enjoyed the evening."
