"From the beginning everything about booking the band was carried out in an extremely professional manner. The agent was very helpful and it didn’t take long for everything to be confirmed for the big party- my daughter’s 21st. A few weeks before the event Ruth contacted me to discuss music ideas. Straightaway I sensed her enthusiasm and enjoyment for what she does and we couldn’t wait for the music on the night. On the night everyone turned up as arranged and the band was left to set up. Then the best bit!! The music was absolutely amazing. It was impossible not to be toe tapping and bopping throughout the set. The age range was wide from 6 to 65 and the band had them all up dancing and smiling. The line dance caller was doing a grand job explaining all the moves and shouting out encouragement- and rescuing the ones who got a bit lost!! The band played 2 one hour sets ( kindly covering for me after the first set as the food wasn’t quite ready!!) and also performing the Christmas song “Fairy Tale of New York” in the middle of summer as it’s my daughter’s favourite song!! Everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the massive amount of positive feedback from them all really makes you know that the party went well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone- you won’t be disappointed."

"Hi Mick, Thank you so much to you, Carlene and Mick for making the evening truly special! (16th October 2025 Thursday Netflix Services UK Limited, 30 Berners St, London W1T 3LR, UK) The music was perfect for the event, and your warm presence added to the wonderful atmosphere. I hope you had a chance to enjoy yourselves and savour some of the delicious food and drinks as promised. Attached are the photos I took in front of the step-and-repeat. I’ll definitely be leaving a glowing review for your amazing work. Thank you again, and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thanks, Alex Mills, Netflix, 17th October 2025"

"For the evening celebrations, we had an INCREDIBLE zaffa. The Baladi Zaffa Band were another highlight of the day with our guests remarking how they’d never heard a zaffa so unique before – even our non-Arabic friends have been saying how much they want to incorporate a zaffa procession into their wedding, all thanks to Guy!"

"It’s been a while now but just a short note to thank you & the guys for playing a great set at our wedding.If there was one negative, it’s that I never asked you guys to play all night. Anyway, hope you are well & in the unlikely event that I ever get married again, I know which band to go for. "

"As requested I am writing to express the gratitude of the Rotary Club of Reigate to you for providing us with Tim Barton last Friday. He was a great success and handled the audience with humour and skill. He helped to make the evening hugely enjoyable and one which raised just over £1000 for Rotary Foundation - exactly in line with our target!"

"Wow what a night of fantastic entertainment!! It is safe to say that Lilac made our event with customers raving at how good the music was and the energy she bought to our event was through the roof. Lilac is a must if you’re looking for a talented and exceptional musician. A definite re-hire for us."

"These guys did all the music at Douglas and Helen’s wedding on Saturday - any band who can convincingly slip a Pink Floyd cover into a round of the dashing white sergeant definitely get my vote - please check them out folks! "

"For the past four years, we have employed the services of It's No' Reel' Ceilidh Band. Given the fact that we have several visitors from overseas locations, Tom shows great patience and discretion when calling out the dance steps and making sure everyone knows their steps. I've had lots of compliments regarding the success of our events. I personally would have no hesitation in recommending them for any occasion."

"Ceilidh With Us are BRILLIANT. We originally booked the duo to play an Irish/Country set during our reception drinks at our wedding. After chatting with them we then made them an integral part of our ceremony too. They played my wife down the aisle live, played songs during the ceremony and played us out of the room also. In the run up to the day, communication was perfect, we were able to make requests, change things and working with them was so easy! They really made the ceremony and reception and so many of our guests commented on how much they loved the music and the atmosphere it created. Special mention to the two songs our guests sung along to during our ceremony, it sounded beautiful and a huge thanks to both for learning a slightly obscure song to play my wife down the aisle. It was amazing! We can not recommend Ceilidh With Us enough, they are awesome! Book them! We would love to again."

"We hired Craic With Us for our wedding in August 2019. I cannot recommend this band enough, they are absolutely incredible. Their energy is amazing and had the dance floor full for the entire day and night. We've had so much positive feedback about the band from our wedding guests...which is 100% deserved. ABSOLUTLEY FANTASIC X"
