"Oscar and Dom played for our ceremony and drinks reception at our wedding and were absolutely wonderful! It was easy to arrange everything with them, they were always quick to respond to emails and proactive with logistics. They were happy to take our requests for aisle entrance and exit songs. We had inside and outside areas for our drinks reception and they were happy to move between the two half way through the set, we really appreciated the flexibility of this! They play beautifully and it was so lovely hearing the music play across the gardens. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other people, they really enhanced our day!"

"What a ceilidh and what a band! By far the best ceilidh we have ever experienced. Over half of the guests had never been to a ceilidh before, but the walk-throughs were incredibly clear and ensured that everyone picked up the steps really quickly. The band managed to get so many guests up and dancing that we had to expand the size of our dance-floor, twice! The ceilidh was the highlight of the evening. We received a large number of compliments from the guests about the quality of the music. We would thoroughly recommend It's No' Reel to anyone!"

"Our friends and family continue to talk about how great you guys were. We couldn't have wished for a better or nicer band to perform at our wedding. Our friends and family continue to talk about how great you guys were. Thank you for performing our first song for us, you smashed it, and thanks for making our day so special!"

"I cannot fault this band in any way! We kept the ceilidh as a surprise for our wedding guests and it went down as well as we had hoped! The caller was excellent and all the guests engaged well and the dances were so fun and energetic. We have had so many compliments since our wedding about that and can't wait to see the professional photos because we know they will show just how much fun we had. The band then continued on for another hour playing covers of popular wedding songs which was also excellent. The band were very quick, efficient and professional, and the booking process, forms and numerous zoom calls made the whole thing very easy and stress-free. We really can't recommend this band enough!!"

"Now that Zish and I are back from our honeymoon we wanted to say "Thankyou" yet again for the fantastic job you did on our wedding night. Zish and I both really enjoyed it, and loads of people have complemented us on our choice - you did a great job of getting people onto the dance floor. Even people who asked me if I was mad having a ceilidh turned around and told me how glad they were to have been proved wrong, and I know about 2 of the Irish guys surprised everyone by getting up to dance when normally they say "Over my dead body"! Some of Zish's colleagues suggested making ceilidh dancing a regular team event!"

"Wow, what a singer! Lucy was an absolute star, travelling up from London with her guitarist to my party in the Midlands to help me out at short notice, as I was struggling to find an act I liked and was available for my birthday party. What I didn't realise was, not only is she absolutely lovely but she has an amazing voice, great range, a huge variety of songs and she even did me an Elvis number by special request. Her guitarist was a quality act too. I know there are lots of 10/10 ratings on here, but seriously I don't think you could give Lucy any less, if you hire her, she will make your event a special one.

"It's No' Reel Scottish Ceilidh Band are an extremely talented trio of musicians, they added fun and laughter to a fabulous day. Tom runs a smooth and professional business that eased the stress of wedding arrangements. They were also a great hit with guests, venue and photographer. Thank you for making our day even more special."

"A big thanks to It's No' Reel for coming to play at our wedding in Norfolk - you were brilliant! Over half the guests were complete novices but thanks to your great calling and tunes you got all the guests involved and everyone loved it! So much for our concerns about people needing encouragement, we could have done with a much bigger dance floor! Tom was very easy to deal with on the run up to the day and flexible on the night. Your recommendation for Strip the Willow for our first dance was a brilliant idea and the spontaneous Auld Lang Syne was a thoughtful touch. The ceilidh was definitely a highlight of the day. We would highly recommend It's No' Reel for any wedding or party! "

"I couldn't recommend It's No' Reel ceilidh band highly enough. From the first time I emailed them to see what their availability was for our wedding day, to the week of the wedding, nothing was a problem. They were very quick to reply to emails, and always extremely friendly. When it came to our wedding reception, we could not have asked for a better atmosphere. The music was exactly how we wanted it, ceilidh music and disco tunes alike! They were so energetic throughout their set, and really kept the party going. I found it difficult to dance as much as I wanted to as well as socialise with my guests as I was having so much fun! Thanks again for everything guys, we really appreciate it."

"More than just a wedding band; they provide a tailor made service that is of the highest, professional quality. We both work in the entertainment industry and were struggling to find a band that would meet our exacting standards but they completely blew us away and we had the best wedding party ever! The dance floor was FULL all night."

"Dear Lilac, I just wanted to send a thank you to you and the band for the 2 August performance. Everyone really enjoyed the music and commented on how the country band was excellent. I appreciate your learning the songs I sent over- I think you did a brilliant job. You also did a great mix of music that went really well together, we really enjoyed dancing to it. My husband said he thought you and your band made the weekend, you were his favorite and that is saying a lot considering we had 4 performances that weekend. I hope all of you enjoyed yourselves and the BBQ food. I will definitely keep you in mind for any future events or recommendations. Many thanks and wishing you the best, Vanessa"

"I booked Danny for my wife’s surprise 50th birthday party on the strength of the video clips on his profile and I’m so glad I did! Danny was very professional and approachable both before and during the gig. His musicianship and voice are superb and he has a real warmth with audience. At least half the party guests were either singers, actors or musicians and they all had nothing but praise for Danny. Definitely first choice for any events in the future. "
