Edinburgh Wedding Bands, Discos & Musicians Traditionally at weddings in Edinburgh and Scotland there will be an evening reception that will take place after the wedding breakfast. The majority of couples opt for a disco, a band, a ceilidh band or a mixture of 2 or 3 of these. Choosing your evening entertainment is an extremely important part of your wedding planning as typically this can last around 5 hours or more. You want your guests to enjoy themselves and get up on the dance floor so it pays to do some research before settling for a wedding band or disco. One good way to choose an edinburgh wedding band or wedding disco is by personal recommendation. Have you been to a wedding or even recently and enjoyed the music? If so, this is one way to ensure that you get a band or disco that you enjoy. Alternatively you can ask friends for recommendations. Have a think about the sort of music that you and your guests will enjoy. Many couples opt for a traditional Scottish ceilidh whereas others opt for a band that plays covers or a DJ with a disco. If you are not sure, how about a combination of 2 of these? Many bands will play both ceilidh music and covers or will combine live music with a disco. DJs can also play ceilidh songs and if you are on a budget a disco can work out cheaper than a band. Before booking a band or a disco make a short list of your prefered bands or DJs. Visit their websites, listen to their sample music if they have some and contact them to find out prices.
