"We booked the BVB for our wedding in April at Stonehouse Court. We specified Celtic music and they were excellent – they even learned a song for me to sing with them in two weeks flat! True musicians who really know their stuff. They were punctual and did not skimp on time – not taking lengthy breaks between songs which I know some do. A really great experience – I thoroughly recommend them."

"The perfect choice for our annual summer fete (6th September 2025 Saturday Arlington Square, London, N1}. Mick & Co entered into the spirit of the event and kept everyone happy with a great mix of music. They were so popular that numerous people have already demanded that we book them for next year's fete... Many thanks again for providing the music for our Fete. I've heard nothing but compliments about the band. It's a bit early for that, but the Fete is always the first Saturday in September, so you might want to pencil in 5 Sep 2026 for a possible gig. We haven't done all the sums yet, but it looks like this year's affair broke all records when it came to fund-raising – over £5,000 to be shared between three local good causes! I'm sure the good vibe generated by yesterday's music encouraged the crowd to be generous. Please pass on our warmest thanks to Carlene, Caroline and Mick. I look forward to seeing you all again. Best, Jeffery Pike 7th September 2025"

"Thank you, it was all brilliant. Every single person enjoyed it immensely. Great band, good communication before the event and a really good caller (Ollie Simons - Ceilidh Caller). Fitted in with the plans for background music as well as dancing. Definitely recommend."

"We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and all the band, and of course your caller. We absolutely loved hearing you all play again and it was wonderful seeing all of our friends and family enjoying the dancing and music. It is something we will never forget.  We’re sorry that we weren’t running to time on the day, but thank you for being so understanding and I hope you all managed to enjoy some cake and cheese whilst you were waiting to set up.  We will be keeping an eye out for any future dates in your diary and coming along to another ceilidh, think we’ve got the bug! Please pass on our thanks to band, you all helped to make the day very special.  Warmest regards,  Teri and Matt "

"Hi Aly, Just wanted to say thank you so much to Aluinn Ceilidh Band for performing at our wedding last weekend. It was absolutely brilliant and we and the guests loved it. Sorry we couldn't record a video on the night, but please feel free to use the following comment for marketing: " Aluinn Ceilidh Band were excellent and we would not hesitate to have them come play for us again. There were professional and very friendly and it was a delight to have them ceilidh at our wedding. They were able to cater the dances to our needs and were flexible on the night helping make the night a really enjoyable time. Thank you Aluinn Ceilidh Band!" Thanks so much Aly! Best wishes, Cat & Sam"

"We had a fantastic evening with you guys, we’re so glad that we chose you and your incredible team for the event, we have heard nothing but praise for your talent and performance. We’ve been told that everyone loved you and your take on all those classics, that we made good choices and that the first dance was really well done thanks to your cheeky spin! Every single song got more people on the dance floor, it was incredible. We’ve shared your details with anyone who asks and we hope to enjoy your music again in the future."

"Hi Davie, Just a quick note to say thank you very much for playing at our wedding last month. We absolutely loved the music and the dancing, in particular the Cumberland Square 8, as did all our guests! It was great to you as part of the day and we will definitely recommend you wholeheartedly to others. We look forward to seeing The Shooglers at an event sometime soon!!! "

"Oh what a night it was! Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio was the perfect choice for a celebration. They chose dances that matched the skill and enthusiasm of my guests. Setting the right pace is good when lots of guests belong to a running club! Guests from Hong Kong, Greece, Vietnam China and USA had no idea what they were coming to … The band arrived on time, setting up easily and Phil’s friendly manner of instruction was just right. My 6 year old niece (who is VERY shy) shocked her mother by joining the dancing! Lovely comments from guests: “I haven’t danced like that in years” and ” The most fun and dis-organised chaos I’ve had in ages!”"

"Just a note to thank you and the band so much for your contribution to the success of Saturday night’s Barn Dance. The music was fantastic, and I felt the calling gave us just the right amount of detail without holding back those who were itching to get on with the dancing. Loads of people said to me just how much they’d enjoyed the music. I do hope they passed their appreciation on to you too. And I hope that you were pleased by the enthusiasm with which people threw themselves into dancing. So, many thanks once again. "
