You wanted the best in the business & this page will reassure you that you've found us!
Scroll for audio clips / testimonials & a description of why we love doing what we do...
We cannot wait to get the ceilidh started for you already!
1. THE BIG PICTURE
We provide a mix of ceilidh & DJ sets, interspersed with our chart-topping band-vs-DJ mashups and covers!
Your guests will love the variety, the chart-topping quality of the band, the Oscar Winning Piper & our dance caller / MC is also the voice over guy for Visit Scotland adverts shown worldwide.

2. We love bringing a ceilidh to a new audience!
We recommend starting your night with a ceilidh (to fill the dance floor from the very start). Our expert dance caller will teach your guests all the dance moves. As voice over guy for Visit Scotland ads, your guests are sure to enjoy his clear, light- hearted delivery as they learn the moves, before the band sweeps everyone onto the dance floor.
And here's the wow...
3. We're the only ceilidh band to have had an international iTunes no1 in Europe, Asia & the Americas!
In between the ceilidh dances - when your guests will often appreciate a breather & an opportunity to refuel at the bar, trading dance floor stories - we use that time to drop in our chart-topping band-v-DJ mashups....
4. What are band-v-DJ mashups?
So you might get Jump Around vs Bagpipes or Freed From Desire vs Highland Reels (see video below, filmed live at the Kelpies 10 Festival).
These mashups do three things - keep the atmosphere red hot, give a wow factor for your guests to enjoy & ensure the first half ceilidh blends seamlessly through to the second half DJ set!
5. Our DJ's set then takes you through to Carriages, with our package of ceilidh, into band-v-Dj mashups & then a finale DJ set ensuring your night is unforgettable & has something special for everyone at your wedding!
You can tailor the DJ setlist as much or as little as you want to - we're here for you at every moment, from today right up until the I Do's & the party!
6. Our Oscar Winning Piper
In addition to him performing at your evening ceilidh, you can also book our Oscar Winning Piper during the day time to pipe your guests into the ceremony, and pipe the top table into dinner
He was invited by Hollywood legend Hans Zimmer to perform on the Dune soundtrack (with Zendaya et al) which went on to win the Academy Award!

TESTIMONIALS
#1 from Gok Wan
I shared a stage with Whisky Kiss when they played a friend of mine’s wedding in Scotland, and I was DJ.
I didn't know what to expect, but WOW...Whisky Kiss were amazing.
**So much** energy & drive & talent…and fun! They had the whole room dancing like crazy all night, people of all ages.
It's an absolute WOW from me!
Testimonial #2 David & Shelley Gibson
HUGE thank you to Whisky Kiss! Your set at our wedding was absolutely perfect and you gave us a party to remember forever! Right from the get go we knew that we were in good hands with you and your team, you made the planning of the ceilidh and DJ/covers set so easy and you gave us exactly what we were looking for.
The ceilidh was epic, so many good moments and you brought the Scottish and and the English guests together in style!! The photos are epic with everyone having an amazing shindig! Also the DJ/covers set went down a storm, always a good sign when the dance floor is packed all night. Thank You!!
Testimonial #3
Celebrity Wedding Planner Megan Davidson booked Whisky Kiss for her own wedding
I worked with Whisky Kiss several times in a professional capacity as an Events Manager & I didn’t hesitate for a second when I was looking to book a band for my own wedding. Whisky Kiss were one of the first suppliers I booked! Booking and communication is always straight forward, they go above and beyond to accommodate.
The team delivers dynamic, first-class entertainment every single time. It’s so much more than a ceilidh! You can see why their covers (like Atomic & Jocks Revenge) have topped iTunes charts worldwide & why they’ve played some serious festivals, like T in the Park, New York Tartan Week & Edinburgh’s Hogmanay. All our guests were like "Wow!"
"The Best Ceilidh Band in the World" - Hebrides Writer, reviewing our Islands Stage headline slot at HebCelt Festival
I had heard talk of Whisky Kiss — Hebridean Woman Cathy Ann Macphee couldn’t get over them, after discovering them the previous night at the festival club. Like my introduction to the voice of Julie Fowlis at Hebridean Women — I was blown away.
This band, mainly a box player, fiddler and piper, could well be The World’s Best Ceilidh Band. They played a track called Jock’s Revenge which had reached Number 1 on iTunes in two countries: Luxembourg and Uruguay. Kinda weird but I guess we are one world…
Anyway, this was one of the biggest crowd reactions of the whole festival and seemed to make ceilidh raving a thing, if such a thing is possible (maybe a logical step if you think of the way people like the late Martyn Bennett began modernising piping).
With one word — “hold” — box player Iain Macphail kept the crowd tightly wound until he let them fly. The place was bouncing. It was one of my highlights, for sure. And I hadn’t even heard of them before that day. Classic HebCelt.

We appreciate choosing a band can be difficult, there are so many great bands out there!
Here's why Whisky Kiss can standout for you...
We are thrilled to be Recommended Act at Scotland's no1 venue & attraction, Edinburgh Castle. They would not recommend us unless we delivered an amazing night every single time!
Similarly, we're delighted to be Recommended Act at award-winning venues such as Dundas Castle, Crear, Cameron House, Wedderlie House & Kelvingrove.
Like all those venues, you will find us brilliant to work with, and we'll deliver an unforgettable night!
