So you’ve finally popped the question, or your significant other has finally proposed, and you are now completely engulfed in planning all the details of your special day. There is an especially difficult choice to make when it comes to finding the right wedding band in Scotland, due to the uniquely distinct instruments and genres within Scottish culture. Bagpipes, pipe bands and ceilidh bands are thrown into the mix with the other standard options of jazz, blues, rock, soul and of course DJ. Choosing the right wedding band for your big day is one of the most underestimated tasks in the entire wedding planning process. You need to consider your budget as well as the music that you want to hear on the day you marry the love of your life, plus music that will keep your guests on the dancefloor all night.

Ceilidh Bands
If you are a stickler for traditional Scottish music for your wedding band in Scotland then a ceilidh band is certainly the way to go. Naturally, most people want a bit of variety for their wedding as there is only so many times you can play the Gay Gordons at one event so there is an option for a ceilidh and DJ mix. Alternatively you can hire a solo accordionist who is able to accompany any of the regular bands for one hour to host a ceilidh.
