If you are planning a Ceilidh, book these guys! They were just brilliant - talented musicians and warm & welcoming hosts. The dance floor was filled all night and they made everyone feel included from tiny kids to older guests. Amazing!!! Thanks so much to the whole band.

My husband and I booked The Jacobites for our wedding at Langley Castle knowing that a ceilidh is the ultimate way to get everyone together to dance and have fun, but one thing we didn’t know at the time we booked was just how energetic, friendly and welcoming Thoren, Ciaran and Stuart were. Huge beaming smiles, more patience than anyone I’ve known (there’s only so many times you can confuse left with right!) and most importantly unrivalled talent. I’d say around 50% of our guests had never been to a ceilidh before and we have had so many messages complimenting the band, some are even actively finding ceilidh’s to go to now! Loch Lomond was overwhelmingly beautiful as our last dance, The Jacobites truly know how to many a newly married couple feel like the centre of the world for a night. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the most amazing, memorable and happy memories, we will hold onto them forever and hope we see you again soon for a dance! ❤️

The Jacobites were one of the first suppliers we booked for our big day. We were impressed by the great reviews and their upbeat videos on Instagram.
And they surely delivered !
Half of our guests didn't know anything about ceilidhs and we had a broad range of music tastes to deal with, yet the Jacobites played and managed to get everybody dancing all night. All the guests really loved them.
The band even threw a conga and a couple lower pace pieces which allowed our older guests to join in as well.
The Jacobites really were the highlight of our wedding reception, we could not have picked any better. Very friendly and professional; we would happily book them for another event.

The band were world class. I'm from Edinburgh and we got married 22/9/22 down in Cheshire. Getting married in England wasn't going to stop us from having a massive ceilidh for the evening entertainment. This band were extremely accommodating and it was no problem at all for them to travel down for the event. They quoted very fairly and very flexible with delays as always happen with weddings. The band's caller Thorne was friendly, professional and a true expert at getting everyone up to the dance floor. My family is Scottish but my wife's are from Ireland and I think the biggest testament was the fact that the dance floor was packed full the entire night! Every single person at the wedding danced for at least one song with most dancing for a solid 2.5 hours! I would hire them again in a heartbeat I couldn't imagine a more fun and traditional way to end our wedding. Cheers lads!

I am beyond happy that The Jacobites played for our wedding. They were the best ceilidh band we could have asked for. Everyone was dancing, and the energy was amazing. Thoren was prompt with all communication. I wish we could get married all over again just to have them play for us - Much love and thanks, E&D
