Bowreed
One Band, Two Parties. Bowreed get everyone dancing with a ceilidh, then keep the floor packed with a disco or live DJ.
See how Bowreed turn a wedding into a full night of dancing.
A ceilidh gets everyone on their feet, laughing and dancing together, and when it wraps up we roll straight into the DJ set without a pause.
Because it’s all run on the same sound and lighting system, the changeover is seamless and there’s no awkward reset.
With our caller leading the ceilidh and over a decade of weddings behind us, you can trust us to keep the floor full from start to finish.
A wedding ceilidh is pure organised chaos - music, laughter, and simple dances that anyone can join. Here's a word from Fred (Bowreed's manager) on why ceilidhs are so fantastic!
Choose between two simple ways to extend the night. Both are billed hourly and flow seamlessly from the ceilidh setup.
A hands-off option with curated playlists and floor lighting. Once it’s set, the music runs itself - a cost-effective way to keep the party going.
A live DJ who takes requests, mixes tracks in real time, and brings a club-style finish with booth and lighting included.
Set the tone for your day with live ceremony music, available as solo fiddle or as a fiddle and guitar duo. From processional to recessional, we’ll play beautifully arranged tunes that add warmth and character to each moment.
Fiddle and guitar provide instrumental folk music during your drinks reception, creating a warm backdrop without overpowering conversation.
Think you’re ready to book a ceilidh band? You’re only a few steps away.
Here’s an idea of how a ceilidh can flow as part of your wedding evening, with space for the break to double as time for food (or cake!) to be served.
Emily and Sean’s wedding was an absolute blast. We started the evening with a ceilidh that had guests of all ages – even total beginners – laughing and dancing together. After the ceilidh, Fred jumped on the decks and delivered a DJ set that blended their playlist with on-the-spot requests, keeping the party alive right until the last track. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had, and it was the perfect mix of tradition and late-night energy.
Bowreed had everyone dancing at our wedding and Fred’s DJ set kept the floor packed until the very end.
