"THANK YOU sooooooooo much for playing at our wedding, it reduced some people to tears... For the right reason of course!! :) I am overjoyed that you were there to play at the best and most important day of our lives to date. So am upset didn't get to enjoy it as everyone else did. The bits I remember were beautiful and was my dream come true, thank you. "

"To our wonderful musicians! Thank you for the most memorable day on Friday to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. The music was perfect - the harp drifted through the garden so wonderfully - and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. Thank you for helping to create the perfect party atmosphere, and for both being so delightful to work with. Here's to next time!"

"We booked It's No' Reel for our wedding at Balbirnie House in June 2015. We decided on them because of how good they sounded on their YouTube clips (their Game of Thrones theme was a real head turner!), the fact they didn't have a piper or an accordion (which we wanted to avoid) and their price. Tom who deals with the bookings was very professional and keen to tailor the evening to our needs. The minimum is a three piece with the option of adding other pieces as you like. We opted for a second violin as we thought the two violins together sounded awesome! The band offer ceilidh for as much of the night as you want, and after that they are happy to hook up their computer to the PA system and play a DJ set. We liked having the option in case our guests weren't feeling the ceilidh. As it was, we were having such a great time that we ceilidh-ed all night! It was an amazing night, made by the quality playing. Let's also not forget the quality calling so all the guests knew what they were doing! We have had so many compliments about the band's playing since the wedding. Thanks so much to you guys. Just great musicians who put the reel into our reception!"

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Emma’s Daughter’s Wedding – April 2025 What a brilliant evening! The band were exactly what we wanted for my daughter’s wedding and really helped the reception go with a swing. Good music and the caller was great fun and guided us through the dances. Really good communication leading up to the wedding, too. Thank you for a fabulous evening. "

"Hi guys. Just to say a big thank you for your performance on Saturday. You are a wonderful band and kept everyone up on their feet. It was a great conference and made all the better by yourselves. Well done! Jane Brown Robert Burns World Federation"

"Luke and the rest of the band were absolutely amazing and far exceeded our expectations and truly made the day extra special. Right from the music for the ceremony through to the first dances and the whole set...they were fantastic. They really looked like they were enjoying it too and their enthusiasm didn't falter even on the last song! All of our guests have commented on how good they were and how they made the night. The fact that the dance floor was always full speaks volumes and we would highly recommend Absolute for any event. A heartfelt thank you to Luke and all of the band for a truly amazing performance and for making our day extra special! Anna and Mick Madden, wedding at Old Thorns Manor in Hampshire – 6th August 2017 "

The music was wonderful and the calling clear and encouraging for those of us with two left feet! I also found all the communication leading up to the wedding really quick and helpful. Would recommend! "
