Testimonials

Thank you very much for making our evening reception extra special.  The band was great, everyone commented on how good the music was and how much fun they had.  The ceilidh was a great addition especially for our guests who had never danced ceilidh before.  We would definitely recommend Northern Star to anyone who wants fantastic music and great fun.  Thanks again guys.  Suzanne & Sandy Young, Wedding, Forrester Park, May 2008.

Quality band, made sure there were always people on the dance floor.  Would recommend to anybody getting married!!  Stuart Finlayson & Vicki Heeps, Wedding, Lodge on Loch Lomond, March 2008.

Thank you so much for such a fantastic night at our wedding reception at the Glenskirlie House on Sunday 23 September 2007.  We are so pleased we picked you as you were exactly what we were looking for.  The choice of music was great and all of our guests were up dancing the night away, as were my husband and I.  Although not so easy dancing to Ceilidh in a wedding dress - I did try!  It's such a shame the party had to end.  Now trying to think of excuses to have another big party just so we can get the band back!  Thank you so much for making our day perfect.  Emma & Duncan, Wedding, Glenskirlie House, September 2007.

Northern Star were absolutely brilliant.  Hardly a single guest wasn't dancing by the end of the night.  Great stuff.  Wedding, Callander, 29 September 2006.

The band made an excellent contribution to our very special day.  Many thanks.  Wedding, Rufflets Country House, August 2006.

We all had a wonderful day and evening. The band were versatile playing for young and old - Thank you. Wedding, Balbirnie House April 2006.

My new husband and I (!) just wanted to let you know what a great band we thought Northern Star were and how brilliant they were at our wedding on Saturday night at Ballathie House Hotel.  They were excellent and they were very good at encouraging people away from the bar and the comfy chairs and onto the dancefloor!  Their ceilidh set was especially popular and the caller was fantastic!  Thank you very much!  Lynn and Martin Davidson,  Ballathie House Hotel, March 2006. 

The band were superb!  Everyone was really impressed with the choice and variety of the music played.  They made the day!  Wedding, Balmoral Hotel, December 2005.

Ben, just a quick note to say thank you to you and the rest of the band members, from both of us for such a great performance at our wedding.  Many of our guests commented on how good you were.  Thanks.Robert Herridge, Auchen Castle, October 2005.

I would not hesitate to recommend Northern Star.  They really made the night very special.  Everyone loved the band and thought they were superb.  The caller did a fantastic job of getting everyone on their feet and Ben and the band really read the guests, playing what music they enjoyed.  Wedding, Paisley Town Hall, September 2005.

Northern Star were better than expected.  the Ceilidh set was great - the caller even had our English guests up dancing!  The volume was perfect for the guests, and they played a good variety of music.  Midnight seems to early to stop... Thanks, Gordon McAdam, Lodge on Loch Lomond, September 2005.

I would recommend Northern Star to anyone! Totally superb. Guests commented on how great they were in my guest book and the bride and groom never left the dancefloor all night!! Very accomodating band, very flexible in playing what you want. Loved the ceilidh set also. All in all they made my evening reception - marvellous! Thank you. xx  Laura McConnell Wedding - Airth Castle February 2005

We recently hired the band Northern Star to play at our wedding on the 21st August at Dalhousie Castle and felt we should write a quick email to say how much we enjoyed having them play. The band were fantastic and really made the night for us. All our guests commented on how good they were and it was so important to us to know that everyone enjoyed themselves.  Please pass on our sincere thanks to the band. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to others. Thanks also to hireaband for your efficient and reliable service. It was certainly one less thing for us to worry about knowing you were doing the organising!  Best Wishes,  Andy & Stephanie Lumsden, Dalhousie Castle, August 2004

Just a wee note to say a huge thank you to you and the rest of the band for playing at our wedding at Kilconquhar in September.  We both thought you were superb, as did a lot of other people judging by the comments we received...and also by the fact that the floor was constantly full of people dancing. The choice of songs evidently matched all age groups and tastes.  I’d have no hesitation in recommending you.  Thank you very much again, Caroline and Paul Weinberger, Kilconquar, September 2004

I would highly recommend Northern Star to anyone, particularly if they are looking for something a little more guitar driven than the usual wedding band. They got everyone up on the floor - great job done. Wedding, Langside Halls, May 2006

Thank you so much to both Lisa at Hireaband and all the boys in Northern Star - we are still being complimented on the best party in town, and our many overseas (& English) guests were simply delighted with the ceilidh - thank you. Wedding, Oxenfoord Castle, May 2006

Ceilidh arrangement and caller were first class - thank you. Music was very good and there were many compliments about the quality of the band. Wedding, Barony Hall, July 2006
