Wedding Ceilidh, South of France - help!

cacie

A friend of mine is hoping to secure a ceilidh band for their wedding in the South of France, this summer 2025 (ie in a few months…!) - it’s a small wedding for friends (French/British), and their dream is to have a ceilidh band. Does anyone have any recommendations that they can reach out to as they’re struggling to find something currently… thank you!

I'd have thought good bands would be booked up well in advance for a summer wedding, plus there's the cost of getting them there, accomodation - and the fact a one day wedding will knock out several days of the band's time...

I'd expect it will be several times the cost of hiring a band in the UK.

Edit: a Google search "ceilidh bands in France" brings up a lot of options, presumably they've made enquiries with those sites?

I assume the OP is looking for a France based band rather than exporting a British one? Would imagine a forum for brits living in France would have more luck than a UK based forum.
