  • For Weddings The Northern Nights usually perform from 8pm-12am with a break during the evening buffet.

    Times can be flexible for other Events. With a maximum of 4 hours including a break.

  • Around 1 hour (from access to the room) to set up and have a full soundcheck to make sure the band sounds perfect for your event.

  • The band are based in Inverness and typically travel 2 hrs from there.

    (Long distance journeys are subject to extra cost and accommodation may have to be provided for the band).

  • Yes, we provide our own lighting. However this is for the stage only and may not light up the rest of the room.

  • Smart & Stylish.

  • Yes, we provide background music during the break.

    Alternatively, you can provide us with an iPod/MP3 Player with your own chosen playlist.

  • Unfortunately no. The band can not be held accountable for things being held up during the day of your event. A lot of venues have a curfew for live music and we must abide to them. Performing past midnight would need to be pre-arranged in the booking process and is subject to extra cost.

  • Luckily we have a fantastic group of professional musicians who are all well rehearsed with our set and can stand in at a moments notice! So if unfortunately a band member is sick or has to cancel due to a personal matter, don’t worry, a musician of the same standard will be in their place and the experience of the your event will be unchanged!

- Testimonials -

The Whole band were so accommodating and learned our first dance song and played it to absolute perfection.  It was so beautifully sung by Alyssa, we are so grateful to you for learning it.

We loved the mix of current songs and ceilidh dances which were all called out for all the guests.  The band were super encouraging of getting everyone up dancing.

We can't thank you enough for the evening entertainment and we hope to see you at other events locally.  

Thank you so much

Just wanted to thank you and all the band for an outstanding performance at our Wedding in Drummnadrochit on Saturday.  We had loads of comments from our guests about how good you were.  The range of covers was excellent and the Ceilidh element just perfect.  We definitely chose well!
