Amazing band, really read the room playing songs the crowd loved and were amazing at calling the celidhl and making it make sense to a group of non Scots!! Super talented band!
Eloise Ballard, Glasgow
Bridges were fantastic at my wedding! The song choices were point and got everyone up on the dance floor all night long. They even did our first dance on request which was super special. We had asked for a ceilidh and they were smart enough to intersperse this with normal songs so people didn't get tired and peel away. Couldn't thank them enough, it was such a wonderful day and I would highly recommend them! Thanks again to the band, Alex & Lewis
Alexandra Bradie, South Queensferry
They were fabulous. Fantastic communicators, learned a couple of songs we had specifically requested and read the room brilliantly throughout the night. People did not stop dancing and so many people have said how fantastic they were!
Maggie Macpherson, Haddington
Bridges, phenomenal! On the night their performance was absolutely outstanding, keeping the dance floor packed from start to finish. Even their DJ set for interval and after their live performance was bang on! Communication with Gus throughout our wedding planning was great and completely hassle free.l with Bridges taking the time to learn our first dance and also taking note of any other special requests we had. And on meeting Gus and all fo Bridges, everyone so polite and friendly. Friends and family are telling us Bridges is the best wedding band they’ve heard and we 100% agree!
Siobhan Keeney , Kilmaurs
The band were fantastic, and these comments have been echoed by lots of friends and family. They had a great mix of ceilidh and classics and knew how to read the room to keep the dance floor full all night. We cannot thank or praise them enough and would recommend them to anyone!
Alex Ferguson, Kirknewton
Thanks to Bridges for getting everybody up on our dance floor and making our wedding reception such a special night. thoroughly enjoyed the show!
Grant Shiells, Troon, Ayrshire
Bridges we’re absolutely fantastic, our guests loved them and commented what a brilliant band they are. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Aisling McBride, Dunkeld
Bridges were absolutely fantastic and even better than what we had hoped for. They delivered everything we wanted from a wedding band and more! Communication with the band was good and they arrived on time and set up ready to go without us even being aware of them. They got everyone up for the ceilidh and explained the dances really well for anyone unfamiliar with ceilidh or needing a refresher. They performed our first dance song beautifully and definitely did a classic song justice! The rest of the night was then filled with excellent tunes and energy that kept everyone up on the dance floor and having a ball. Overall they’re a friendly and professional band with very talented musicians. We highly recommend them for weddings or any other parties/events.
Peter Barden, Boat of Garten, PH24 3BL
Bridges did a great job playing at our wedding, the vibe on the dance floor really ramped up as the night went on and the crowd enjoyed getting involved in the ceilidh dances which were well called out by the band - thank you.
Pip Robson, Edzell, DD9 7TF
Absolutely fantastic, could not recommend enough. They provided the perfect mix of ceilidh and other music, all led with patience, clarity and showmanship. The band were very accommodating for our special day by not only playing a version of our first dance song (which we loved) but also taking a few last minute requests. Many guests were also raving about Bridges and a few have followed up to ask us where we booked them, so there may be some follow ons! A massive thank you from us to Bridges for helping to make our special day that much more special.
Niall Mackle, Archerfield Estate, East Lothian
The band were amazing!!!! Our guests are still talking about the night. I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty. Such a great mixture of music. The best live band I have ever heard, so privileged that they were my wedding band. Would highly recommend to everyone and anyone!! Thank you for everything!!
Annie Voigt, Kirriemuir
Wonderful band, very talented and very well appreciated by ourselves and the guests. We would definitely recommend Bridges to others - thank you!
Nick Proctor, Edinburgh
Amazing! We had a great night from ceilidh dancing, classic dance floor fillers & a little bit of a DJ set to end the evening. They learned our first dance song & delivered it amazingly! The communication with the band before the wedding was great too. Would highly recommend them to anyone!
Nichola Bell, Edinburgh
Nice guys, got the guests dancing at our wedding!
David Corcoran, Glasgow
Absolutely fantastic!! Again, prompt correspondence from Gus who made us feel at ease and confident about our booking. The band were happy to learn our first dance song and were completely open to how we wanted the wedding to run. They played a good variety of music, including ceilidh, that kept our dance floor full all night!! Several guests asked who they were because they had been impressed. Would highly recommend them, thank you.
Emma Mowat, Aberdeen
I honestly don't think anything I write, can really do justice to how AWESOME Bridges are! Gus and all the rest of the band, are such an incredibly talented, lovely bunch who made sure the dance floor was packed from start to finish on our wedding! From calling the ceilidh for complete novices, to learning our weird and wonderful requests with not much notice, and just being a great, fun group of people - I can't thank them, or recommend them enough! Thank you for being so fantastic - Jenn & David,
Jennifer Skrastin, Edinburgh
Really lovely to work with, arrived on time, sounded great.
Bryony Hope, Chambers Street, Edinburgh
Bridges were absolutely fantastic and so profession. Everyone since our wedding has commented on how wonderful they were. The dance floor was never empty from the moment they started playing.
Stacey Swinton, Leith, edinburgh
Bridges were fantastic at our wedding, for both ceilidh dances and pop covers - across a variety of genres. They are musically very talented and accomplished and brought a great energy to the night. They learned a new song for our first dance and performed it beautifully! Throughout the night people kept coming up to us to say how amazing the band were which really made the night. Would heartily recommend.
Fiona Macgregor, Loch Lomond
Bridges played our wedding at the Barn at Harburn last weekend, and we have been getting non-stop comments from guests about how much they loved their performance! Most of our guests were American (with two left feet!) and had no idea how to ceilidh, but Bridges was super-patient with us. The musicians even came down and helped us out a few times with the footwork during the evening. They did a fantastic job of judging when everyone needed a break from dancing (like after the ceilidh) and took time off then. They played an amazing repertoire of covers from the '70s-present that got all of our family members out of their seats. Even my dad was up on the dance floor for a few numbers, which is a straight-up miracle! Cannot recommend these guys highly enough. They will make your function one for the memory books. (I also posted this feedback on Bridges' FB page. They were amazing!)
Victoria Chatfield, West Calder
Bridges were fantastic at our wedding. They did a great performance!
Nicholas Butler, Fife
Stunningly talented,, friendly band who had an astonishing range of songs and ceilidh pieces - all executed brilliantly and with boundless energy.
Louise Topping, KY15 4QF
Fantastic! James and myself loved the band and our guests gave them so many compliments. Thanks for much for learning our first dance song! The set list was great too, the dance floor was never empty.
Naomi Will, Aberdeenshire
Bridges played at our wedding last weekend, They sounded fantastic, many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed them. They sounded professional and fun at the same time. They played a great mix of Ceilidh and covers throughout the night. The band were very friendly and came and chatted to us before the night and afterwards. I would highly recommend them.
Anna Carr-Gomm, 1-9 Grosvenor Terrace, Glasgow G12 0TA
Cannot fault them; they were great. Our guests agreed.
Kenneth Stewart, Edinburgh
Absolutely sensational. Our first dance song was better than the original! Live Ceilidh got everyone up and dancing and our guests all raved about the band after the wedding. Brilliant all round!
Liam Wilson, West Calder, West Lothian
10 - Bridges were amazing on the night of our wedding, everyone is still raving about them and had pretty much all of our guests on the dance floor all evening! They learnt our first dance song for us and even worked with my husband to let him perform a Disney medly he wrote for me. Overall they were amazing would recommend to anyone!
Emma Blackstock, Fintry
Bridges were absolutely great... everyone loved them. We live in England but got married in Scotland, and so booked them having only seen the promo videos on the website - but we were not disappointed, Gus was super friendly over email on the run up to the wedding and fabulous on the night, Charlie was wonderful on the fiddle and got everyone dancing a ceilidh... and the lead guitarist wowed us with some insane solos. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. THANK YOU!!!
Claire Chapman, South Queensferry
10/10 Absolutely fantastic. Could not recommend Bridges enough. The dance floor was full all night and we didn’t want it to end. They played a great mix of music which appealed to all ages and the ceilidh went down well with all our guests.
Aimee Greenwood, Gorebridge nr Edinburgh
Brilliant, great music, all band members were lovely, they read the crowd beautifully and the floor was never empty. I would recommend for any occasion, very happy.
Julia Smith, Gorebridge
Bridges were INSANELY good! Every one of our guests commented on what a great band they were. We even had some relatives who didn't want to dance, and they were happy just to sit and watch the band as they were so entertaining. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Ruth Granton, Niddry Street South, Edinburgh
The band were excellent. They learnt and played two songs of our request for the first two dances which were great! They then did a ceilidh set and got everyone up dancing giving instructions where needed but also realising that most knew what to do. The rest of the night they played a mixture of songs from different eras. An excellent band with great musical talent! Thank you!
Karen Hamilton, Kingussie
They were absolutely fabulous! Coped well with audience interaction!!
Jennifer Service, Ayrshire, KA18 2NJ
Bridges were simply fantastic! We had an amazing wedding in a fabulous location, this was rounded out by Bridges who were wonderful. They played a really nice set of Ceilidh which was enjoyed by everyone and then transitioned smoothly into playing an awesome set of contemporary numbers. We were hugely impressed by Gus, Manuel and the whole band - they were the icing on the cake - amazing! Rob & Jenny
Rob Rees, Dundas Castle, Queensferry
We hired Bridges for our wedding asking them to perform some celidh dances, our first dance which they learned for us, and the their standard set list. From start to finish Bridges were absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, very personable and are incredibly talented. The dance floor was filled all night and we have received many compliments from guests about them. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for a great party.
James Walkinshaw, Blairgowrie, Perthshire, PH10 7JD.
Bridges were awesome! I did worry two weeks before the wedding, as we hadn’t had much contact from the band but Gus put my mind at ease! Bridges played the most beautiful version of our first dance ‘The book of love’ and got our guests on the floor for the ceilidh. I don’t think I left the dance floor all night! Thank you for a memorable night! Mr & Mrs Doherty

Myself and my new husband Martin booked Bridges before seeing them perform live in order to secure the booking after reviewing the videos of all the function bands listed on Music for Scotland's website. We were very excited to attend the Music for Scotland showcase, at the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh in order to enjoy all the function bands' performances but specifically Bridges. Myself and Martin were blown away by their performance and how eclectic their song choices were and we have to add, the best live performance of 'Everywhere' by Fleetwood Mac we have ever seen and heard! On Saturday 28th April we had our wedding day, and prior to the day, Bridges had been in touch by email to check if we had any specific song choices in addition to our first dance which was kind. Bridges arrived at our venue - The Tontine Hotel in Greenock - and set up, communicating with the hotel staff and then beginning their set with the first dance Stand by Me - but not the Ben E King version - Bridges kindly performed the Florence and the Machine version at our request. The entire set was so varied and fun, also providing a Ceilidh for an hour, which was a great surprise for our guests. My reason for booking Bridges was that myself and Martin wanted a band which you would want to see perform at a gig. Who play music for the love of music which brings people together and have a great time. I can pass on that Bridges exceeded our expectations and all of our family and friends who attended our wedding day cannot stop talking about Bridges and what an amazing evening they all had.
Faye McCluskie, Greenock
Bridges played at our wedding and we absolutely loved them! They had a relaxed and super fun vibe and played so well... we had so many compliments about the music. They were the cherry our the (wedding!) cake and topped such a wonderful day - thanks guys! :)
