Bowreed
As the top rated wedding ceilidh band, we think ceilidhs are the ultimate icebreaker. From seasoned dancers to first-timers, we get everyone up and dancing with easy, fun moves
See the ceilidh energy and hear it straight from the people who booked us.
A ceilidh only works if everyone feels part of it, and that’s why our caller is at the heart of what we do. They guide each dance with humour and clarity, making sure no guest is left shuffling at the sidelines.
We’ve played at hundreds of weddings over the past decade, earning five-star reviews along the way. You can trust us to keep the dancefloor buzzing.
When it comes to logistics, we’ve got it covered. We supply professional sound, lighting, and all the setup needed to run smoothly, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
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 our hands-off disco service with curated playlists and lighting, or upgrade to a live DJ for real-time requests and mixing that keeps the dance floor packed.
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.

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.
Caitlin and Laurence’s wedding was a joy to be part of. With a custom playlist set to keep things rolling, we kicked off the evening with a ceilidh that had everyone – from seasoned dancers to first-timers – joining in the fun. Thanks to the team at Bridge House Barn, everything ran smoothly, and the guests were all smiles as the ceilidh gave way to some classic disco hits. A perfect night of dancing, good food (cheesy chips!), and great company.
