Expert Reeling and Ceilidh Calling - it’s what I do!
My approach is simple: reels or ceilidhs should be fun, inclusive, and easy for everyone to enjoy. Whether you are planning a wedding ceilidh for guests new to dancing or a formal Ball for seasoned reelers, my job is to make sure everyone feels relaxed and confident on the floor. I guide the room clearly and calmly so your guests can focus on the evening - not the panic!
