"Just a quick message to say that I thought you were amazing on Saturday! You were everything that I could have hoped for and far exceeded my expectations, you really were excellent and I have had loads of texts’ off friends and family saying how much they enjoyed you and where did I find you! In all the weddings I have ever been to I have never seen a dance floor so full from start to finish and the song choices you made to play were spot on. I know a few people took your details for future functions that they have! I think you absolutely made the day for us and I could not recommend you highly enough! I’ll keep a look out on your website for any future showcases that you do as I will make a huge effort to come and see you play again! Thanks once again for making our wedding day perfect!"

"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!"

"My husband and I went for a meal, not expecting entertainment but we ended up staying to the very end. Great variety of music and they kept me on my feet all night. We are looking forward to them coming back. It was lovely speaking to you both."

"The band arrived punctually and set up quickly for our first dance which they performed for us. They were fantastic from the first note struck all the way to the end. Lots of energy and enthusiasm. We were really pleased we chose them and they agreed to perform at our wedding."

"Ginger and her band played my surprise 50th Party and were absolutely incredible. Ginger especially got to know the names of some of the guests and encouraged them onto the dance floor, even my 78 year old Mum! It was a brilliant evening and I would recommend them for any party where you want excellent music, funny one liners and a lead singer with more sass than is technically legal! Thank you for being amazing!"

"Rory was a big hit at our wedding! He played excellent renditions of our ceremony songs and kept our guests thoroughly entertained in the library and on the terrace. His talent on the sax really added a fantastic atmosphere to our day and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. We would definitely recommend him!"

"Dear Jessica, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your spectacular performance last night. I can’t tell you much everyone enjoyed it. You and your colleagues were absolutely fantastic and completely blew us away with your fantastic musicianship, energy, talents and stunning voice. You really made this day incredibly special for not only us but or family and friends. We can’t wait to listen to you guys again and hope to see you performing very soon. With our best wishes and all our thanks, James and Maciej"

"My huge thanks to you and all in Chateaux Swing for your excellent music on Tuesday evening at our St George's Banquet on board HQS Wellington - really uplifting stuff that added greatly to the convivial atmosphere of the evening. I'm rather sorry some of them carried on chatting through your brilliant 'concert spot' - a different crowd from January! - but the compliments fed back to me afterwards were universally full of praise. I'm delighted at what you've brought to both events for us, and shall be more than happy to pass on your details to anyone who asks. "
