Discover Your Celtic Heartbeat

Ready to turn your celebration into a night of dancing, music and Celtic craic? Ceilidh It Up brings the excitement of Scottish and Irish folk traditions to weddings, private parties, birthdays, Burns Nights and corporate gatherings. Our professional musicians and energetic callers create a lively, welcoming atmosphere where experienced dancers and complete beginners can enjoy the same unforgettable night.

From spirited Scottish barn dances to traditional Irish ceilí dances, our musicians bring together fiddle, accordion, guitar, whistle and bagpipes to create an authentic Celtic sound. Our friendly callers explain every dance clearly and keep the energy flowing, so guests can join in without worrying about getting every step right. Expect plenty of laughter, lively partner changes and a dance floor full of people having fun.

Planning a wedding and torn between a ceilidh and a covers band? You don’t have to choose. Our ceilidh and covers option gives you both in one seamless package, starting with traditional dances before moving into a high-energy selection of party favourites. We can build the covers set around your preferred songs, giving you a personalised evening without the hassle of booking and coordinating separate entertainment suppliers.

Burns Night is another perfect occasion for Ceilidh It Up. Add a traditional Scottish bagpiper to welcome your guests and perform during the Address to the Haggis, creating a memorable start to your evening. Combined with live folk music and ceilidh dancing, it’s a wonderful way to celebrate Scotland’s culture, traditions and legendary hospitality.

To complete the look and feel of your event, we can also provide themed event styling and décor. Think tartan details, atmospheric lighting, Scottish or Irish-inspired centrepieces, carefully styled tables and photo booth props. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a full-scale themed celebration, we can help bring the entire concept together.

Traditional doesn’t have to mean predictable. Ceilidh It Up can mix classic jigs and reels with modern songs and contemporary arrangements, giving your dance floor a fresh twist. We also offer inclusive, gender-neutral calling for LGBTQ+ weddings and celebrations. However you imagine your ceilidh, our goal is simple: great music, easy dancing and an atmosphere everyone can enjoy.
