Wedding Ceilidh Bands - The Benefits of Booking a Scottish Ceilidh Band to Play at Your Wedding

When all the champagnes been drunk and the flowers have wilted into oblivion...what do you think will be the most remembered aspect of your wedding day? Will it be the meal? Perhaps. Will it be the ceremony? Yes, good chance it will be. However, without doubt the most talked about and memorable aspect of any wedding is the choice of music chosen by the bride and groom. Indeed, music is probably the most important aspect of any wedding celebration and the choice you make will have more impact on the atmosphere than any other decisions you make on your big day....so it's important that you choose the right balance of music for you and your guests. Choose the wrong music and your guests will vote with their feet by walking off the dance floor in droves. However, cater for everyone's needs as well as your own and your wedding night entertainment will provoke memories for many years to come and could even cause your guests to always associate a particular song/tune with your wedding day - just the sort of response you're looking for!

When it comes to choosing the music for your wedding, you'll be amazed at the choices - absolutely loads! But where do you start to look? Well, here's a few places to start researching the ideal music for your Scottish Wedding:

1. Google - the daddy of the search engines;


2. Yahoo - another great shout;


3. Bing - new, but a sure winner;


4. Don't forget the old fashioned "word of mouth". Ask people you know if they can recommend some great entertainment. You'll be surprised at what some people know when it comes to planning a party;


5. Wedding Publications - tons of these to trawl through;


6. Wedding Shows - many of these on the run up and during the wedding season;


7. Wedding Band Showcase Events - again, numerous events showcasing bands;...the list is endless.

So, what kind of atmosphere do you want to create? Chill out Jazz sounds, a Big Band performance, perhaps an all round Function Band? All great choices, but have you ever considered a Scottish Wedding Ceilidh Band and Disco Package? Ceilidh music is amazingly social and when you and your guests are flat out exhausted from dancing to the Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant and the joint shattering Strip The Willow, what can be better than taking it easy with a Disco covering all of the best music from the past 50 years? NOTHING!

There are many Ceilidh Bands in Scotland, but not all are of the same standard, so it's a good idea to take the time to view a few bands before making that all important decision.

Some 'Ceilidh Bands in Scotland' are better than others...but we're not just talking about individual musicianship here. You can have a band consisting of Scottish and British champion players, music graduates, or both, but if their equipment is sub-standard and they themselves have an inability to connect with their audience (a common fault with many Scottish Ceilidh Bands), then they'll easily be upstaged by a band of less 'notable' musicians that play superior instruments through a superior public address system...AND with a stage presence second to none. Therefore, forget all the hype and self proclaimed greatness you read on websites and other online/offline publications generated by certain bands and their agents/representatives and take the time to view a few bands in a live situation before making your final decision.
